  • 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. Well, I have my trusted Peterbilt 389X #11 with a Miller Industries, Century 1150R rotator heavy towing and recovery unit with me. We have a little bit of a challenge ahead for the FIRST job of the day. Next week I'll show you the SECOND job of the day. Anyway, back to this job, a mobile parking lot (car hauler) gets stuck coming down a driveway out of a hotel parking lot. The trailer bottoms out on the crest of the slope and the whole thing comes to a screeching stop. He can't go forwards and he can't go backwards. We call this getting "high centered". Our ARC nemesis has to join in on the fun while we shut the road completely down 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!!!

      The fact that he swallowed his pride and told the tow truck driver, "I'll take any advice you give me", proved that he is smart. He took responsibility for his mistakes, and is willing to let someone with experience make the call.😊👍

      I haul cars for the same company. If that’s the worst thing that has happened to him . He shouldn’t be embarrassed at all. A million things can happen when hauling cars. I’ve never gotten hung up in the thirty years I’ve been out here on any truck. Who’s to say it won’t happen to me tomorrow. We do our ten hour breaks in these hotels we’ve never been to all of the time. Some setups have a lift system, some don’t. I’m assuming since he said he’s in a spare he assumed that truck would clear. These things get hung up all of the time. Pray you don’t do it on a railroad crossing. Great vid…..

    I remember that call, it was another great adventure for Ron. The embarrassed driver was quickly freed and sent on his merry way. The asphalt scars are evidence a few rig drivers caught up unaware and in the same predicament. Not only do I really like your content, I am learning a lot as well. Watching the young guns growing into highly educated , safe operators is great to watch and learn with.
    You are preparing a select group of great people to take the reigns when you choose to step back from the front lines to ready the next generation of operators. I think most followers likely know you'll be going on calls until Missus Prat says it time to enjoy our retirement years, with plans in the works for more adventures away from the shop and the hustle and bustle of an business owner's life. I think I can safely say; "knowing in my heart you will likely follow your father's knowledgeable and dedicated footsteps. To be there for a few little jobs when it's busy or when that day arrives that your knowledge and experience is needed on scene, and for your operators knowing when to make that call".
    A fantastic video Ron. Thank You and God Bless to all of Midwest Truck's extended family.

Listening to Tator's engine as you went through the gears brought back a lot of memories. Thanks for the great videos that help make the lives of your fans very enjoyable.

  • @markwihowski3057
    @markwihowski3057 Рік тому +3

    I work for a small family owned towing company in northern Wisconsin & another option is to unhook the rear suspension air leveling valve arm & move it up, thus raising the car haulers suspension giving it more ground clearance so that the driver can drive out of a situation like that without having to winch the car hauler especially when it's loaded with vehicles. We sometimes have to also adjust the suspension leveling valve to tow those trucks as the mini fifth wheel plate is so low to the ground. Just another option.
