- Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!! I hope my viewers are enjoying the new 4K videos!!! Today, I'm running solo...still. Well, I have my trusted Peterbilt 389X #11 with a Miller Industries, Century 1150R rotator heavy towing and recovery unit with me. Last week I showed you the first job of the day: • MOBILE PARKING LOT HIG... This job is IMMEDIATELY following last week's video. I left straight from that job to come to this job. This one is a bit more complicated. Driver turned the corner too short pulling into his delivery location and dropped the loaded trailer into a ditch. I'm not allowed to block the road and don't have a good angle to work from. The trailer is fully loaded and the truck's drive tires are off the ground. One wrong move and this thing could slide further into the ditch or roll on its side. Our ARC nemesis has to join in on the fun while we work to try to free this unit before some major storms hit. I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

My common analogy, "there are many ways to reach 10". I could have approached this (any) job several different ways. The approach method is important, but more important is achieving the desired result, safely.
Again, a very special thank you to all my viewers, family, and friends who having taken the time to show their support. May God bless and protect you all!!!

I was training this kid and told him he better swing wide, very next week he cut to short and laid it on its side. Always listen to those who have been around! Love your channel Ron!!
even "those who have been around" make mistakes. none of us are perfect.
@@tncountryboy06 we make mistakes, yes, but not with that much room to turn
I wonder how much he charged for that? $2000?
You were new at one time. People egos makes them forget that.
"Swing wide, it's a friggin' trailer!!"
Shame on the mess.
🤣🤣🤣
Swing wide it’s a friggen trailer😱.
Shame on the mess!
Bonehead truckers. I know Ron and Co doesn't blame the driver a, that for law enforcement and the trucker's boss to deal with. However this was totally avoidable.
You must watch Bonehead Truckers. I thought when Ron pulled up that it was going to be a Swifty truck 😂. Shame on the mess. Have a great day Flyerbob 🙂⚘️.
Shame on the mess 🤣
UK recovery workers would close next lane completely with cones, and put a 50 mph restriction one remaining one.😁 they love to have a lot of unused space. "Safety concerns" they call it
Tell my mate Bob, who had a fool in a BMW park in the back of his ladder escape, with blue lights on, on a 3-appliance shout.
As a kid, my father taught me to steer the trailer. Once I learned that, I never had a problem making a corner. If I had to take two lanes to swing wide enough to make a corner, then so be it. "Use the truck to steer the trailer." He was a good teacher.
Yes, Amen. people who pull big rigs know how it's done. I detest drivers who pull their entire vehicle over the line blocking access.
I was an Army Combat Engineer Officer, and we had a lot of big rigs and long lowbeds. Training of drivers seemed like never-ending, especially in South Korea, where the roads were narrow, and the shoulders were invariably too soft. If you are not "driving the load" you will never get it to your destination.
I had two places where I really needed to SWIFT, one I could do with just two lanes, but tandems all the way up(and nobody on the cross road, other wise needed all four), and one where I needed the entire intersection, so about six or eight lanes (90° curb, construction had it down to one lane). Of course I had cooperation from traffic, they figured out the name on my trailer, and the store where they were going, was one and the same.
Thanks for sharing
We gonna have to get with Bonehead truckers. He needs the swing wide it's a friggin trailer shirt lol
There were a couple of videos Ron shared with Mr Bonehead, actually
Big difference between Ron and Bonehead Truckers. Ron is about education. Bonehead Truckers is about making fun of others.
SWIFT -- Swing Wide It's A Freakin Trailer LoL 🤣🤣
No matter how many of these type recoveries I watch, I am still amazed at the amount of pressure the fifth-wheel king-pin holds!!
Just look at the angle and torque on that pin!
I know a guy whose shop does ultrasonic testing on kingpins for production and it surely is amazing.
Am I the only one leaning down to see under the visor?
No you’re not!😂 find myself doing it often on Ron’s videos!😂😂
Me too.
I never officially drove but learned to drive in case of an emergency but I rode for 7 years. To this day nearly 30 years later I still swing wide and constantly check my mirrors. I believe it's called being a conscientious driver no matter the size of your ride.
It would be nice if the customer would just stand back instead of hovering over you as you're trying to work lol
yup but if the driver is an owner operator it's his insurance that will be screaming about any damage so it is kind of understandable why he would hover a bit. He pays for the recovery without a claim and his rates don't go up, he claims it and they do.
I'm sure its annoying to the operator, but I work in IT. We have to deal with people who either hover looking over your shoulder or manage to disappear at exactly the moment you want them to 1. Recreate the problem or 2. Test the fix. Of the scenarios, having them wander off before you get confirmation you fixed their problem is the worse one. Not to say the shoulder-lurkers are enjoyable, but I would tske those over the Office Houdinis any day.
Maybe he was curious, bored, nervous, or didn't know where to be or what to do.
Got myself in to a pickle one day at a customer who has relatively small space to turn around. I didn’t do what I had done the past few time. I tried something new and inadvertently went in to the mud. Ground was soft from melted snow and rain. Had to be yanked back. I was there but also out of the way. The operator was trying to set the chain on the part of the ICC bar and keep sliding down. I asked if they needed a hand, lent them a quick hand as needed. Long story short, getting stuck sucks. 😊 Oh also stay out of the way unless needed.😊
He's a huge fan, this was just his scheme to get an autograph and watch the master at work.
Your patience absolutely amazes me! Even when you have every right and reason to lose your cool, you never do (unless you just don't share those jobs, LOL). PLEASE keep the amazing, awe-inspiring content coming. I just can't get enough of your videos! This is, BY FAR, my favorite YT channel!!!
If you can't keep your cool you aren't professional enough to work with the general public. I've said that to a lot of people that thought they could do a job like this. People will test every last nerve you have if you let them. If you don't, they will still try. There is nothing you can do about that. What you can do is control yourself.
you can hear it in rons voice sometimes that customers get on his nerves.
Mr Pratt is a man of integrity and a total professional and we all should be inspired to be like him
This is correct. Absolutely have to control yourself to be a professional.
Having anger issues wouldn't be good for his business, or anyone else's for that matter
I'm confused, where and when exactly would Ron ever have the right to lose his cool while performing a recovery? The driver's aren't rude. Even if they're being slightly annoying and lingering around you, that's no reason to lose your cool. I don't see a reason or where he has the right to lose his cool during this job. It's not like he's there for free and it's an inconvenience to him. He's there to get the driver back on the road and to make money. Or make money first, I imagine helping people is first on his agenda.
Good Afternoon My Good Big Bro Ron P.
That’s another fine mess you got someone out of..
Stay safe, stay healthy, and god bless..
Ron, a most impressive rescue. You make it look SO easy.!!, despite the fact that it obviously isn’t. It’s a delight to watch an expert at work. No drama, no crisis, even though passing traffic, power lines and a water filled ditch all posed threats.
You done a great job, SIR!! Best Wishes Roy W UK.
Ron I do something unique I try to find where you are working on a particular job. That Checkered Pattern Tower was intriguing to me. You would tilt the camera at just so and I could never get my bearings. But you finally came through. When you moved around the your MW Truck and I could get a straight shot of the building in front of were you were working I captured the back of Schaefer's and figured out the rest. What is really telling is that evidently the internet does not know there is a Red and White Checkered Tower in Scott City MO. Otherwise I would have found it much faster. Would you know if that is a Water Tower? I figured that it would have to be. Those types of towers usually only have a single function.
It's kind of ironic that we see "Caution Wide Turns" on the door and again on the mud flap. Maybe that driver ought to check those warnings out. Great job, Ron, considering the limited options you had. Love your videos.
Hi guys I was thinking rookie mistake but he ain't no rookie!! Spatial awareness is what these drivers need! But Ron saves the day!
His spatial awareness (or lack thereof) was on full display when Ron was deploying his outrigger.
What makes you say he isn’t a rookie? I saw rookie red flags all over that guy. And that doesn’t even address his spatial awareness or lack of common sense…
Another driver ‘suggesting’ how to do Ron’s job .
He looks old enough to know that he has to swing wide
to get into the driveway. Another Monday morning
arm chair quarterback
I thought same thing.
Can’t always go by age, for some folks trucking could be a second or third career.
We all make mistakes and can have bad days. He knew enough to stop instead of trying to power thru it.
Awesome job. Ron. They never learn.
Quite often they learn after the first mistake.
Leave the guy alone, he made a mistake
The right tool and the right operator. It's a beautiful thing!
Glad everything went smooth. And, thanking God no one was hurt. I could not believe those drives did not move over in other lane. Great video as always.
Thank you for all you do! We found you on a random search and my 7year old LOVES to watch. You may inspire him. 😊 He especially loves your Mater ☺️
Thanks Ron.
Must have been a Heavy one to bend the bottom of the Cross member of the Trailer..
Mike M.
Keep up the good work Ron love watching you on UA-cam may good bless you
Yeah lets tell the tow truck driver how to do his job.
very nicely done, Ron. Thank you and stay safe.
Thank you for sharing yours and Ethan's videos with us Ron it's gotten to the point where I can't get my Fridays started until I watch your video!
Nothing more than I love is watching Ron Pratt videos. Used to watch my Dad with his farm equipment.😊😊
Ron, I see it all the time with cars even, folks only driving the front end, not the middle and rear let alone with a trailer. Good to see the drag winch getting some love!
love your channel amazed at the many situations people find from the new driver to the veteran driver both in cars and trucks and your trucks will get them out. great team at midwest led by you thanks for all you and team midwest does.
I'm betting almost every driver out there has done this once in their career. It doesn't help that the ground is saturated. The most important thing is that he didn't roll and no one was hurt. Please stay safe, and God bless.
Ron I watch you all the time. I have done recovery in the past. I really like the rig you have. If I could do recovery again I would do it. I'm a big fan. Learned a lot from you. Keep up the good work. And God bless you. And the lord keeps you safe.
Some guys never learn been doing it over 20 yrs never have i turned that short now i turn my pick up like my semi sometimes 😂
I never thought that when I retired that I would be so interested in towing! Well, here I am. I worked 20 years in aircraft maintenance so this is similar. Lots of big tools for sure. You always do such a professional job. Very entertaining.
Nice to see the drag winch working somewhat properly. You would be lost without your Miller frame grab chains. Very handy. Considering boom position and angle, recovery went very well. You make them look so simple and easy Ron. Nice job! God Bless! Murfreesboro TN
As always it's a pleasure to watch an expert in action. No fuss just experience. Well done.
I know that just about every trucker gets into this mess at least once. I think some of the fault should be put on building developers who do not properly engineer access for these big trucks. I really wish there was better legal coverage for truckers to refuse to deliver if the access is not wide enough, safe and clear.
Sure wish you had a swamper with you, Ron. Working off a narrow two-way street is safer with extra eyes.
"The problem with idiot proofing the world is that the world will always produce better idiots." - Douglas Adams 😅
Many facilities were built before the maximum permitted trailer length was extended from 48 ft to 53 ft
@Felicia Scott. I TOTALLY AGREE!
Kentucky is the worst roads for a 53 foot trailer! Plus, the road edge bumpers are e right on the edge of the pavement, then from the bumper strips on many of the roads (especially after leaving the parkways ) there's only 18 inches to the ditch, or a cliffside that drops off about 400 feet..Anybody ever driven over to Gray Hawk Kentucky in the snowy winter from Wyckliff?
@@ArtStoneUS exactly! Just truck a few miles in Kentucky OFF the parkways and make about 6 delivery stops in those old towns. Most infrastructure is designed for 1940's era equiptment, alleyways and truck docks not designed for 53'trailers...but we do it because that's how we roll our pay.
I blame the legislature and the semi-trailer design. The driveway width and proximity of the ditch would not be an issue if they hadn't put the axles on those trailers all the way to the rear. These axle positions on a semi-trailer would not be legal in Europe, and even if they are in the US, it's still unsafe and impractical.
God Bless you Ron.
Talking about tight spaces and just placing the truck right. That judgement was spot on. Excellent video on keeping it low and inching little by little. Thank you Ron . 👍👍
Always good watching these videos, love watching the rotater in action
The tator is a beast awsome video again your knowledge on how to fix any problem is unreal keep up the good work and stay safe
Well done as always Ron. Thanks for sharing.
It is nice to have one that is quick and easy. Not saying it could not have gone bad. Ron makes it look easy. Thank you for your videos. Be safe out there.
Great recovery Ron. You have great patience with these truck drivers. You could see the driver was physically upset about the situation. Your right Ron, these things happen. You got that calming disposition from your Dad. Looking for your helpers for traffic in this video. Too much traffic for shutting down a lane, unsafe.
I watch all your videos. Might not be the day you post it but I watch and watch others again. Keep up the good work and videos
Thanks!
Hey Ron love ur videos I learn alot from watching u ur amazing at what u do I consider u one of the best n hey bout the wind issue I think can get Lil wind muffs or things to go over the microphone part of ur gopro to cut that out of the video lol keep doing the awesome work n God Bless
Those little wind muffs don't help a lot with that internal microphone.
Love watching your channel! On Bonehead Truckers, Ike mentions you most broadcasts since you helped the lady Swift drive several months ago. Like his shirt says: "Swing Wide it's a Frigging Trailer" lol. Keep up the good work. Bless you and your boys.
Love watching the amazing things the rotator truck can do.
Hello, Ron. The posts from other viewers offer some good hints on driving with a trailer. And, another safe recovery for persons, equipment, and cargo. Be safe, stay safe & God bless.
As always a great video! Thanks Ron, stay safe!
Can't help but notice his tandems are all the way back, as well.
Correct me if I am wrong here, but isn't sliding them to the rear appropriate for a fully-loaded dry van trailer?
@@UahUahUah no it is not, tandems are slid to different positions for weight distribution and bridge laws and most costumers require them all the way back when in the dock. That driver just made a costly mistake though
Ron you do such a great professional job every time. It’s a joy to watch you work. Cool video. 👍❤️
Great job Ron love the video stay safe
Another awesome job by Ron You do awesome work you’re easy to customers happy keep doing the good work
You’re amazing Ron. It takes longer to rig up than to actually do the move.
When Hades freezes over, is when people will learn, Mr. Pratt.
Mater is a nice touch . Your videos are amazing , the skill level in your job comes in so many flavors well done
Nice quick job! Maybe using some wood blocks under (or outside) the trailer frame would have minimized the minor damage to the lower flange of the frame.
Hello Ron I've been watching ur videos for a while an must say truly enjoy an appreciate how you take the time to explain all what your doing I've watched alot of rotator videos an your the best by far entertaining an enformentive keep em coming these rotators are truly awesome thxs again 😊
YOU SIR are a MASTER !!! A true ARTIST !!! Thank you for sharing
U should put this on buonhead truckers so they will get a note sowing wid it's a traler
From the marks on highway it looks like he came in to hot
Swing wide , they say , some driver's never learn .. Great job As always .
The last 2 videos just Ron and the rotator. Just like old times and loving it!!
Well Done Ron! A bit tricky, but for you that just makes it fun!
Beautiful work, Ron
I remember my time driving through Missouri usually on my way to Texas or OKC. I would look over and see 2 or 3 of these kinds of accidents where trucks fell into culvert ditches along the service roads next to the freeway.
Great job buddy as always stay safe u an ur family 👪 watch the power lines
1:40 Hi there. You do such an amazing job! You have so much patience with every recovery! Me and my fiancé watch you daily. We really enjoy your videos. Your videos reach to St. John’s, Newfoundland, Canada!
Hard to believe with as wide as the entrance was that he would cut it that short. Good job Ron. I do like the shorter video also.
im wondering if someone else was possibly coming out of that driveway at the same time
My guess is he forgot about his trailer when he made the turn in. Happens often with rookies and even absent minded experienced drivers can make the mistake. If I had to guess I'd say this driver is a little fresh under the belt - age isn't a tell of experience in trucking anymore, tons of older people are just starting out.
Thanks Ron, this was nice to see.
Ron, you are the best at what you do!! I love watching your videos!! God Bless you, my friend!! Stay safe out there!!
Amazing how you ascertain the problem and then the solution, allways the total professional.
Don't say that! It would be a loss of dependable revenue; revenue that is helping you pay for your first rotator and could help you buy another rotator. A pair of father / son rotators to the rescue. NO job too big or too small Midwest Trucks will tow them all. Better yet, it could be ' No job too big,...EVER!" BTW, excellent use of the cones; you can never be too safe. Have a great weekend everyone.
Nice solo job Ron, very nicely done.
Mr Ron Thanks for sharing and stay safe
Driver should Preach what his Rear Sign says ......Caution Wide Turns , good Job Ron 👍
Great job Ron .
You should take this up as a job !
You'd be quite good at it !
The main thing is no injuries mate. Take care
Great one man job Ron. Keep up the great videos.
thanks for sharing
Good job Mr Ron God bless you and yours ✝️ stay safe out there
Good clean pick n pull safe and sound no one hurt ! I call that a good day for all ! 👍👍
I greatly enjoy your videos and I am highly impressed with how you handle working with clients and your co-workers. Your respect and professionalism show through. If I was a 30 yr. old, I would want to learn the trade. But, since I am a 72 yr. old grandmother, I will have to pass. I am also impressed with how much you have matured in your work with the videos and your craft since you began the videos. May God continue to bless and keep you all as you continue to serve the people in your area.
Ron, to answer your question. They will never learn. So, think of it as job security as the saying goes. Stay safe out there and folks slow down and move over.
Great job keep up the great work love your videos thank you
Enjoy ur videos Ron🤙Should be getting my CDL license next month so ur video helps me know wat not to do to get in trouble,like this guy who didnt go wide enough on the turn. Mahalo🙏
Nicely done Ron. 👍
another fine job done by midwest towing. enjoy the videos Ron.
Bravo Ron!
Awesome job! Nice and smooth! I like how you used the drag winch as well. Man it’s windy! 😂
Ron always seems to make things look simple and easy but I'm sure that there are factors involved that the average layperson may not understand.
Out of curiosity, how much do you charge for a job like this?
Always a great job with professionalism and courtesy/respect to the customer. Stay safe and God bless.
Your know how is perfect, I enjoyed to watching
THANK YOU FOR VIDEO
Professional as always,love your videos
I found it interesting that I guessed how Ron would deal with this situation - based mostly on watching similar situations. The boom winches being used initially to prevent the trailer rolling while the drag winch relocating the trailer.
One thought that occurred to me is that this job would have been harder with a non-rotating boom - and likely would have involved closing at least one lane of traffic.
Another great video, you get in there and get er done 😊 Stay safe and blessed 🙏❤️
My problem is that I see what you need to do & pretty much how you’re going to do it. Then I’m not interested anymore.
A good video to be sure.
Prayers and great job
When I first saw the drag winch being pulled out I had a thought you might pull while lifting. For the thumb mail we saw the blue and white from the boom. Also glad the blue worked better for this job compared the car hauler job.
