ok. i already had serious respect for you and the work you do, but when you said "it's ok. I know you're afraid of heights. On the side of the road is not the place to face that" and then you started climbing yourself, that is what a great boss is. I can imagine the job is stressful enough. Much respect for not adding unnecessary stress to the employee.
25 years ago I got called to a wreck on an icy interstate S curve. Semi had lost control and the car next to it ended up under the trailer, roof flat to the top of the dash. Car driver was an off duty State Patrol officer. He saw it coming and laid down in the seat just before the roof come down. Other than some scrapes, glass cuts and a bruised knee he walked away once we got the semi off the car and they cut him out. It's amazing what we drivers see over a couple decades in the business for sure. Some of it is definitely not for the weak. The only ones that ever got to me was if there were kids involved.
In the movie "The Seven-Ups" that was done to end a car chase generally considered the best in movie history. Car drove at high speed into a parked trailer. Flattened the top to the rear pillar and the car bounced back a few feet. Cut to the interior of the car - Roy Scheider groggy and brushes glass off himself. Stunt driver was Bill Hickman, who also directed the car chases in French Connection and Bullitt.
Ron, you show great courtesy and care for your worker and reducing his stress while he is learning. you make a challenging job so much better with your care well done
That's the one thing I truly admire about Ron. He doesn't just show respect to the clients and victims, but his crew as well. He treats them right and works with them.
Thanks Ron. I worked as a medic for 45 years here in southern Idaho and saw more than my share of mean crashes. I'm the county coroner now and see all of the bad ones. Thanks for the considerations. You're a good man. Keep up the great work sir.
Ron the amount of knowledge you show and offer people on some of these calls really shows your time and experience in the industry bless you and your teams families and stay safe out there
You all do a great job. Thank you for all you do Ron & crew. The driver of the other vehicle was VERY LUCKY to have survived. That was a very bad wreck.
20 years ago, a cousin of mine was killed by a very similar accident (he ran under the trailer of a semi-trailer that was trying to u-turn on a road like this one). The person in the passenger car was *very* lucky to survive...I know exactly what kind of injury my cousin had and it was not a pretty way to go out. So thank you for cutting that part, looking at a car with that kind of damage would have been difficult for me.
Thank you for cutting out the not-so-family-friendly parts. As a (former) voluntary fire dept member myself, I've seen enough of those and really do not need a reminder. I'm always looking forward to those friday Pratt videos.
the brief looks we got of the car, so glad we did not get more of that part. That looked bad. Great work with the flatbed. Damaged parts always seem to love being difficult. Your rigger seems eager to learn and showed they were unsure about the initial hook placement. glad they admitted it and showed gratitude when corrected (confirmed they had the right sense about it.) May you all have many easy jobs after this.
Goodmorning Ron...! Thank you for all your awesome videos...! If it weren't for your videos, we would most likely never know what you guys go through...! Just so dangerous and unreal what you all experience and go through for your life's work...! It's real and it definitely does happen and thank God we have awesome folks like yourselves and your crew and all the recovery crews out there...! Thank you, every day...! Stay safe...!
My prayers to the driver of the vehicle I pray he or she is not seriously injured ! Ron as always you and your family and crew did a very professional job and you always keep safety in mind ! This means a lot when your doing a job of any kind especially when dealing with equipment and traffic ! God Bless you all !Please pray for all those effected here in Tennessee , North Carolina , Georgia , Florida and others places as we are trying to recover from Hurricane Helena !
Wow that was a lot of brunt force to drive that tire and axle back like that! And to survive it is just God’s mercy! Ron you guys did a great job on decking that trailer! 👍❤️🙏
That was one very LUCKY driver. Good job getting the trailer on the other trailer. Training a new worker with good instructions. Yeah, when I was younger, I could go up on high roofs no sweat now at 80 doctors tell me to stay off ladders.
Always a pleasure to see and hear you work. You make it look so easy! It takes a lot of force to rip out a truck axle. I have seen in 1975 in UK the result of a compact car running under the rear of a trailer, until it hit the rear axle. Its roof was peeled back like a sardine can. Never forgotten.
Bring the hooks down from the truck, has the old saying. Work smarter than harder. I am glad you could post this. Allways better when everybody lives to see more days.
Ron thank you for being respectful to the accident victims. You are a great teacher. I always enjoy watching your videos and learning. My dad was a firefighter and emt. So this stuff like this all to familiar. God bless you and be safe.
Nice job keeping control of your recovery. People that dont wear hardhats with a couple thousand pounds of weight dangling above them are asking for a Darwin award.
I would like to thank you for all the videos and the respect you give everyone you are the first wrecker company I saw that is able to run lights like yall do I totally understand if you can't show everything I was a volunteer fireman and sometimes showing it all isn't a good thing thank you for what you are able to do keep up the amazing work
Ron again I want to thank you for being respectful to the families of the accident victims. I disagree strongly with utube allowing accidents involving injuries or school buses being showed. Just this week Georgia State Police allowed a the posting of a fatal accident where they showed a close up of the victim with a trooper standing beside them. That is totally wrong and disrespectful.
If you're referring to the video I think you are involving a TRX, then I respectfully disagree - CRIMINALS involved in CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR do not deserve respect. Innocents and just straight up accidents, absolutely, but criminals involved in criminal behavior? Nope. How many criminals running from the police put an untold number of people in mortal danger, and don't care about doing so? It's so fortunate that that CRIMINAL hit a tree (or trees) instead of a minivan with a mother and her children on the way to school. That could have been insurmountably worse. Absolutely ZERO sympathy for 'him' or 'his' family from me. 'He' is where he belongs. And of course different channels have different goals. Ron's channel is just about recovery and such. The other channel is more related to police chases and other police interactions. And when police interact with criminals, you never know where that's going to go.
The guy was all proud how he can run from the police and speed 150 mph he had no care or respect for other people on the road why does he deserve any respect?
Great job Ron it was nice to see that young man admit his fear of hights and yet was willing to try to over come them i personally understand this i over came my fear of high places by becoming a Paratrooper
As a kid I though I had a fear of heights, then I learned it was just the fear of falling.... long as I am at a spot with good footing or tied off. I could care less how high it is now... Like being in a tree to cut some dead branches off on a windy day. Going up that tree had me questioning things, but once i got tied off I could have stayed up there all day....
I was scared of heights as a kid. Got over it in my teens by doing some roofing on both single and two story houses and office buildings. Then in my 20s I was belt sanding the fascia boards on my parents house... The old wooden ladder collapsed under me and I landed on the back steps breaking both arms halfway between the wrist and elbow and injuring my elbows... casts from palm to halfway up the upper arm... couldn't feed myself or wipe for 6 weeks. So I ended up not being afraid of heights, just of old or rickety ladders.
It always makes me smile when someone says VIN number. It's like you're saying Vehicle Identification Number Number. Just like Pin Number is Personal Identification Number Number. ...😂
I agree, problem is, either they (most people) know and don't care, OR they don't know/realize that is what they are saying and think it's the right way to say it. "PIN Number" "VIN Number"
Love how Ron is so respectful of the families and not showing any of the bad stuff hopefully the individual driving the other vehicle is ok and able to tell the officers what excatly happened keep up the wonderful work and GOD BLESS YOU ALL and please stay safe
Thank you for another life lesson video. Praying all turned out well for the occupants of the red car. I'm imposed with the equipment you have abs all the ringing you carry. Ready for all contingencies. The maintenance that goes into those trucks must be hours. I'd love to see you do an inspection video... how you care for the cables and attachments and other things we viewers take for granted.
We had one here near Holt, FL that had a car totally under a semi trailer, going in the same direction as the truck. The driver was asleep and the co-driver was driving but as he told the officers was watching his phone. He got charged with manslaughter for not having his vehicle under control, the actual driver got charged for improper supervision of that co-driver (basically in-training).2 people died as a result of the accident.
Ron, Really fast response by the police/fire and your call up to help with the clean up of the trailer, really hope that the driver will recover from the accident, pretty quickly!!! Ron, much love to you and your family/team!!!! Stay safe in whatever you and your team does on a daily basis!!!! God bless you and your family/team !!!!! Your family member, friend. Bob Compton. from , Maryland 🇺🇸🇺🇸❤❤
Wow, I hope the lady is ok that looks like a mess. Thank you for not putting in the car and for the bad parts. reminds me of when the semi ran over the top of me and could not get me out. until they could hook up and pull. and I did not even have a scratch one me.
I work in power generation manufacturing, and I do all my own lifts. They told us to hook the hook so if it breaks the cable or chain swings in toward the center instead of out possibly hitting someone. If it's hooked up through or down through, always hook up through so if it breaks the cable or chain hits the ground instead of flying up into the air. I hope that helps someone. God bless you all!
This happened to my dad the a couple weeks ago in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Driver was in a vehicle that was uninsured, expired registration, driver had a suspended lic, and she was driving 65 in a 40. Off duty city cop was one of the witnesses. Luckily for dad he was a witness and also he has cameras. Driver was luckily uninjured.
Hi Ron, I just had an idea for you and your team. When doing any kind of lifting or righting a fallen vehicle, why not buy some whistles. These might help much more if comms were to fail, in a noisy situation, or when comms aren't available.
Had a family friend get in a similar wreck. Semi made an illegal lane change and her car ended up under the trailer. She barely had time to duck down to avoid losing her head. She was treated for minor injuries at the scene and released. She ended up being treated by her doctor for a minor leg injury but suffered no long term effects from it. There was a guardian angle looking out for her that day for sure.
At Komatsu we had a few 1950 yard cranes that we used to pickup items. Another guy with me was Ronnie and he was driving the crane. I was on top of the trailer hooking up a large rear end case for a mining truck. As the load was coming up Ronnie motioned to the driver to pull out leaving me with little room on the back of the trailer to get off safely. I had to jump down which was pretty high up. Later me and Ronnie exchanged some words. When the driver took off he left in a hurry and so I couldn't come down at my own pace. Ronnie was just laughing and I didn't see the humor.
Regarding a fear of heights.When I was at secondary school I did a lot of back stage work with the school''s technician who had a fear not of heights, not of falling, but a fear of landing!

Hey Ron this could've been more worse as you can see down the hill there is a railroad track down there

I love how you help your new helper and your instructions
I always enjoy watching your videos. Love to watch a good man work. God look after the person driving that car. Stay safe Ron.

You all do a great job. Thank you for all you do Ron & crew. The driver of the other vehicle was VERY LUCKY to have survived. That was a very bad wreck.
The one lucky thing was that the trailer was empty. Great job Ron & crew. God bless

Wow, that Peterbilt 389X with the Miller Industries Century 1150R Rotator is a piece of art!
That driver of that car was lucky to survive, that easily could have been a fatal accident. Good job by you and your crew Ron.
ya a liitle more under the trailer and we would not be seeing this video
My prayers to the driver of the vehicle I pray he or she is not seriously injured ! Ron as always you and your family and crew did a very professional job and you always keep safety in mind ! This means a lot when your doing a job of any kind especially when dealing with equipment and traffic ! God Bless you all !Please pray for all those effected here in Tennessee , North Carolina , Georgia , Florida and others places as we are trying to recover from Hurricane Helena !

Still the same old, legendary intro song track hasn’t changed in years keep up the hard work n battles always fun to watch
The guys at Pepe's towing in Los Angeles must be watching your channel. They've started calling overhead power line their ARC nemesis.
Ron , I continue to admire your emphasis on safety!
Mr Ron u r right that sudden stop when u hit the ground is what hurts glad all r ok
Bring the hooks down from the truck, has the old saying. Work smarter than harder. I am glad you could post this. Allways better when everybody lives to see more days.
Ron thank you for being respectful to the accident victims. You are a great teacher. I always enjoy watching your videos and learning. My dad was a firefighter and emt. So this stuff like this all to familiar. God bless you and be safe.
Except for the car wreck this was an easy job, we like those once in awhile. Thank you Sir for this video
Always learning from these. Thanks Ron!
Great job Ron. Prayers for the injured🙏🙏
Has it all! a car, a truck, the traffic control vehicle. A train at the end, the sun the rain! all working together it's great to see.
WOW that was a Big hit 💥 nice work all of you 👍🙏
Nice job keeping control of your recovery. People that dont wear hardhats with a couple thousand pounds of weight dangling above them are asking for a Darwin award.
Not a lot that hardhat will do when that couple thousand pounds come crashing down on it......
Amazing efficent Service Clearing Roads after Mishaps ....

I am amazed how well you work with your crew. Great job
Thank you, Ron, for another video reminding all of us to drive safer and to be kinder. God bless, take care
Hi Ron I just LOVE WATCHING ALL your videos, as soon as you post one I have to watch it before anything else
Ron again I want to thank you for being respectful to the families of the accident victims. I disagree strongly with utube allowing accidents involving injuries or school buses being showed. Just this week Georgia State Police allowed a the posting of a fatal accident where they showed a close up of the victim with a trooper standing beside them. That is totally wrong and disrespectful.
You have to remember it's Georgia and they aren't the brightest bulb in the lamps of all 50 states.
OMG how awful!1 So disrespectful. Is there no compassion for the victim?

It was most interesting.
Nice work on a bad accident Ron and crew.

A great backer upper!
I got busy just looking at the camera angles of you looking down on top of those trailers. It's kind of a neat feeling as long as I know.I'm safe.

I like the ways you work with the other truck with loading the trailer.
Love how Ron is so respectful of the families and not showing any of the bad stuff hopefully the individual driving the other vehicle is ok and able to tell the officers what excatly happened keep up the wonderful work and GOD BLESS YOU ALL and please stay safe
Cooperation, critical thinking, and respect on both sides. A great video.
Bragging about when you were younger scaling box trailers, I was expecting a Pratt fall. LOL
I was expecting him to get one after talking about it..... I am glad he did not fall, do not need him risk getting hurt...

Great work.
Intro to the video was very suspenseful 🤙🏼
Another great job done. Glad to hear the driver is ok.
Great job well done Ron keep watching your video Keep up the good work

Good to see new people coming along to learn the trade, where have the other experienced guys gone as not seen them for a long time now.
Good job Ron. Over here in UK trailers and lorries are fitted with side rails to prevent any vehicle going under.
Its a real annoyance to me knowing the European market has had underride protections for decades as a requirement on trailers, but the US doesn't.
There was legislation proposed to require side rails here in the states, but the trucking lobby "railed" against it. It wasn't passed, unfortunately.
Some do have "skirts" for aerodynamics.
@@jml8975It would have caused another issue at high burmed railroad crossings
Trailers in the UK are half the length. If that were done here the trailers would high center on every raised intersection.
Well done job that you and your crew did God Bless everyone
Good morning Ron. Watching from Tennessee.
Incredible survival story of the crashed driver, it so easy to imagine a much worse outcome...
Hi Ron, I just had an idea for you and your team. When doing any kind of lifting or righting a fallen vehicle, why not buy some whistles. These might help much more if comms were to fail, in a noisy situation, or when comms aren't available.
Every time I see the "Thanks for watching" at the beginning, my brains says "Well that was a short video."
#replaycrew mad luv N respect for all you do!!
Nice recovery and that car hit that trailer hard. Was kind of close that pickup turning into your yard and the State Patrol car coming down the road.
Always great work very professional
U do excellent work Ron & ao does ur crew
Had a family friend get in a similar wreck. Semi made an illegal lane change and her car ended up under the trailer. She barely had time to duck down to avoid losing her head. She was treated for minor injuries at the scene and released. She ended up being treated by her doctor for a minor leg injury but suffered no long term effects from it. There was a guardian angle looking out for her that day for sure.
Awesome video keep up with a great work and be safe out there.
Thanks again for a great video.
Good morning Ron & Family! I'm just about to go out to my first OTR job and I see this pop up on my feed lol, hope it isn't foreshadowing
Good morning Ron,, my thoughts & orayers goes out to everybody thats working the wreck
Ron, I always say, "I'm not afraid of heights, I'm afraid of the sudden stop."
Nice wrecker. Easy lift job. No axles or drive shafts to pull or debris all over the place. Lucky it wasn't a fatal. I hated those.
At Komatsu we had a few 1950 yard cranes that we used to pickup items. Another guy with me was Ronnie and he was driving the crane. I was on top of the trailer hooking up a large rear end case for a mining truck.

ANNNNND...the old "arc-nemesis" crosses the road right above you! But as usual, it is a job well done!!
Working on a busy highway, have you or your crew ever had a close call? Doing a great job. Thank you for your service to the community.
I love what you are doing mat and I love you trucks
Regarding a fear of heights.When I was at secondary school I did a lot of back stage work with the school''s technician who had a fear not of heights, not of falling, but a fear of landing!
