Love Talons attitude, always see the guy around. Also loved the fact you brought your son out in the truck for some real world experience. Keep up the great work my man, keep safe and return home to your family.
I love how you let him figure out what’s wrong versus telling him what’s wrong right away. That is good teaching right there!! Only way to learn is to be hands on in my eyes. Awesome job Ron and good job to your partner too. Good eye!
Thanks Ron for the time laps and the storm, I thank the Lord that we in the UK rarely get storms that bad. God bless, Ron & Family and all your workers who it looks like go the extra mile.
I love the way you treat your subordinates. "Please" and respect and gentle correction instead of "do this" and "you did it wrong". A lot of bosses could learn from you.
If all "bosses " were as good as Ron , work would be more pleasant . I have worked for a couple of awful ones , who can only manage furniture - no people skills . One , whatever you did was wrong !! in his eyes , and always took over .
Hello Ron, I just found your channel a few days ago and am loving your videos.I love to hear about family businesses and how they start small and become big operations that are a true success.Its very refreshing to see a business owner who appreciates their employees and customers and credits their success to the blessings from God.I drove over the road including coast to coast two seperate periods in my life.I love big trucks ,big wreckers and all that goes with them.You , your family and employees stay safe out there.God Bless you and your entire operation.
Ron, you are amazing. Sometimes I get exhausted just watching your shows. You are the Vince Lombardi of the towing industry. You demand perfection from everyone you deal with and it doesn't matter who. That's because you demand perfection of yourself. What you can teach to someone is unbelievable. Sometimes I think it would be tough to work for you because of your demand for excellence but that's how you succeed in an industry loaded with liability and insurance. It's not simply amazing but perfection to its fullest. Your anal, a fanatic and a perfectionist. I have worked for many men like you and I am 70 years old and happily retired. It's always a pleasure to watch you on UA-cam and please keep up your standards for excellence 👍. May God Bless us with continuing to watch you . Thank you Sir.😊
Thank you Ron, for people who don’t know what we do, (you show it just like it is). Sometimes your not lucky and you get caught out in the rain, snow, ice, or the blazing sun and all the while worrying about traffic. Your very good at what you do. Great videos I always learn a lot.
Thank you for the geniality you provide your customers and employees. Happy workers make money. Happy customers give it for free. I do envy you and your dedication to hard work. Your gentleness with new crew members is as admirable as I've ever seen. You're single handedly making amiddle class in this country. After years of butt-sitting victims. I salute you
Ron, I really appreciate your all of your"Tator" videos especially ones featuring weather (or expected storms.) I live in Los Angeles so weather is a fresh change. Also, I think your videos are superior to other Rotator videos. Some guys think that just because they shoot the scene on video that it will be interesting. They are wrong. Your descriptive remarks, steady camera, great editing and multiple cameras make for an extremely interesting show. Thank you!
Happy Fathers Day and awesome video from start until you get back home - all the way thru - just what i like to see ! Your experience shows just how good you are , something that takes you 45 minutes or an hour takes Plaza Towing 3 or 4 hours to do the same thing . You don't have the wasted motion and going back and forth and wasted time and steps that they take . Keep your videos coming , you ARE hands down the best of the best !
Ron I don't know if it's you and your ridiculous amount of experience, or the fact that your rotator could likely relocate mountains without even breaking a sweat, but I kid you not, you make stuff like this look easy.
The note that you tied was a double hafe hich I love your videos and I learn a lot from them and you inspired me to learn more about towing And God bless you and your family
Ron, I appreciate your videos. I drove a truck OTR for 12 years, mainly flatbed. Your job can be very dangerous. I pray for you and your crews daily. Keep up the great job.
Another great video Ron, thank you for taking the time to share. You do a terrific job to inform, educate and entertain. Can't wait to see what you get up to next. Take care, Cheers Warren
Nicely done Ron. Great video and I'm not even half way through it. Watched the rest of it, very nice how you done the ending from start to finish in high speed I like videos like this from start to finish
Every time you get on the top of something and look down, I get lots of butterflies in my stomach........ P.S. The weather radar is wrong a lot here in WV......... Hahahaha.....clear, yeah I hear ya !!!!!
I think perhaps going into weather prediction is a good job, it never really matters if it’s right 😂😂 here in the UK it’s even more the case with it being an Island.
And here's where Ron lost the strap for the tag line...think he was trying to beat the storm. Thank you Ron another excellent video, sure beats what's on TV.
i had to run a 20ft. flat bed truck saturday with a crane and unload 25 ft poles. first time ever running a crane. you make it look easy. (there was no one there that ever ran a crane.) you make it look easy. i was asked just to drive the truck since i have the cdl. (been driving for 25 yrs tractors and trailers) and did what i've heard you say and seen you do many of time, test lift and small easy moves.
Was wondering why you couldn't latch on to it and pull it out from in between the others to make it easier to rig & lift? Just starting to watch the video. I love watching these. Not sure why but must be because of how polite, professional and easy going you are, Ron.
I wish I could work for you, Mister Pratt. I want to learn always. I'm a welder, metallurgist, cook, deck swab, on-spot chemist, maintenance, HVAC and hired-man. You are an inspiration. You will and (likely HAVE) experience EXTREME pressure to disconnect from social media (from even your best friends) but I am here to say: I am 40 and learn every day and one of the things I've learned is : Never stop saying what you mean. Yeah I'm Christian, but what I also admire about you is your conviction and energy. Keep up your work. "Keep your room clean" and you will likely find degrees of bliss here before true bliss in Heaven.
As a retired heavy haul owner operator I never liked having to call a wrecker service but I a lot of respect and appreciation for all those who do your job professionally.
I don't know that anybody LIKES to call upon our services, but I try to be professional and do the best job I can to help people who are usually not having the best of days. I've helped many heavy haulers in my day. I'm sure you've ran into this....we get calls days in advance to meet a heavy hauler at specific locations to help them lift the rear of the trailer around tight curves. Thanks for watching and God bless.
Every tool (er...hook) has a hammer side! On a serious note, I'm a corporate pilot by trade and I would love to have your professionalism and skill in any airplane. You'd make a great pilot, Ron.
I like your video's I watch them all the time. I your christian values you keep it clean . This is what I want to start been planning for a long time watching you and what you do just pulls me in a little more everyday. Thank you for your time and your work. God bless you and your family
Ron, not sure about the whole knot thing, but loving the full length videos. They show us just that little more insight into the jobs that you do, and the things that you have to deal with (like Mother Nature). Glad you and Mike made it back to (and in) the shop before the rain started. That was toss some soap on the truck, and get a free truck wash weather. You and your entire crew be safe out there, and god bless.
Mr.Pratt i have to say i have learned so much that helps me every day. As a rookie heavy duty operator i aspire to be as wise and as knowledgeable you one day. My boss askes how i learned how to do somthing ive learned from you and all i say is "ron pratt" everyone in the yard watches your videos so they know exactly who you are
Great work ron, currently i am doing the same, with a single hidraulic boom, installed in my Scania truck, the hardest part is making the center of the trailer.. and of course we have wind down here in chile.. One of theese days i will upload a video about my work.. Again, apreciate your videos, im learning with your expierence. God bless.
Just going back looking at your old videos I missed for one reason or another. Most people won't notice, but being a professional video editor for 39 years, I wanted to say that you have some decent editing skills, my friend. And thanks for the extra "rear window" footage. Love your videos.
As someone who loves watching thunder and lightning storms, I was almost unsure of what I liked the best, the lift or the storm, either way Ron, this was a great video and thank you for sharing If we get thunder storms over here, I go get a chair and sit at the door and just watch the storm, I've always been fascinated by thunder and lightning
Please do no have a window or a door directly behind your chair. I also hope it is not a metal chair. Because, an aunt and I have been injured by lightning coming behind us through the house.
Sir Ron !!! Saw on the newer wreckers that they have caution lites on the cabinet drs to warn drivers when the drs are open !! Really shows up good at night like the halo lite on your hard hat !!!! Keep the videos coming & KEEP IT SAFE !!!!!!
Cut that one close there! Glad you guys didn't get drenched on that one - looked like a real soaker! We just finally got some summer weather here today (been cool the past 3 weeks), followed by a 1-2 succession of storms several minutes apart. Was getting dry here - we needed it too. Funny how 12k seems a "light" load, after seeing what that rotator normally handles. My pickup would be struggling just pulling the flatbed all by itself. I hauled close to that once - an F-Super Duty bucket truck - a former telephone truck, utility body, bucket, and all. The tandems were hanging off the sides and back, and the fronts were 50% over the edge too - a full load for that 18' dovetail. Made the 25 mile journey without an issue, but I won't be doing that again. Way too much for a '07 half ton pickup! Great vid as usual. Thanks, and God bless.
I could not work out the picture at the start till i watched it to the end and it was the rear of the Rotator and as all ways you're a true Gentleman never a bad word thank you Ron Pratt and stay safe .
Ive watched other wrecker/recovery company videos. Not that there is anything wrong with them, I just cant get into them like I do with your videos. Great work!
We had that last week across the pond on the west coast of Scotland, 60 mph winds and the rain to follow same as yourself cooled it down to a nice manageable temp especially when were not used to it here.
Hi mr Pratt, i love the full length videos sir, they are great. I thought it was very interesting to replay the last sped up credits from boom cam and just watch the storm activity! You can literally see the cell turn heading and head straight for you. Oh the knot was two half hitches on your tag line wasn't it. Here's wishing you and your family good health and happiness sir you take care. I love your work and am a huge fan of your channel.
Loved that rain. Here in California, we get some hard rains at times. When we do, I'm like a kid all over again, lol. A 52 year old man like myself feeling like a kid again, I wish my body would feel the kid inside me, but only the heart and mind.
I look forward to watching your videos all the time.. you keep me calm.... love the great job you are doing. Keep up the great work. And God bless you and your family 👍
We had that lovely weather in Melbourne Australia this morning. Glad I didn't join my husband at golf! Did the clothes washing instead lol! Happy that you made it back in the truck before it hit.
We sure did need the rain. I didn't want it, but we needed it. Nice upload sir! LOL, Thats my kind of treat! I watch them all in double time anyway. Very nice viewpoint!
Awesome video! I'm enjoying the longer videos & all the extra footage! Keep up the great work! Happy Father's Day to you & everyone else at Midwest Truck!!
Ron, as a retired over the road driver I was all ways proud of my shifting skills. But I must bow the a true master. You shift as smooth as anyone I ever seen. But as a former trainer I do notice that your eyes do leave the road a lot. But yhat said I would ride with you any where, any time. My wife even likes your cideos!
The knot 1of 24 bowline knots the single bowline used to put a temporary loop in a piece of rope.Back in the old days I would use rope slings with a bowline in the bite to put double eyes or loops in the middle of a long rope to make the slings you use straps for these days with single bowline in the 2 ends for the lifting hooks.. Marine rigger, small vessel captain, merchant sailor, truck driver. background. Good video.
Yo! Don...straighten this young man out. Still love to see your videos and all that stuff. Take care and God Bless you, your employees and of course your family! Cheers from Indianapolis. A string walks into a bar, plops down and asks the bartender for a beer! Bartender says "we don't serve your kind around here so you best leave!" So the string gets up and heads outside where he throws himself around, shakes himself all over, gets all frazzled and walks back into the bar, sits down and orders up a beer. Bartender looks at him and says "say, weren't you just in here?" To which the string replies "No, I'm a frayed not!" Thought you and your viewers would enjoy this. :)
Be sure to watch all the way after the credits for several special treats. p.s. About the knot.....In Scouts I was taught this was a two-half hitches knot, if you look closely, however, the dead end of the line comes through the same way as the first run, which, technically, makes it a cow-hitch knot. Not that I'm great at knot tying, it's just not the knot I thought I was taught to tie. Try saying that rapidly without tying your tongue in knots. I wonder what knot that would be? The tongue-twisted knot that is, not the other knot. Too many knots. Is Don around????? LOL
Ron Pratt Ron my dad passed away yesterday at 3 two days before Father's Day it's hurts me and I want to miss my dad but I like to say Happy Father's Day to you and the rest of the people out there and God bless just keep me on my mom and you guys is prayer all right it's just me and my mom now my mom and dad's house
Weather reminded me of the time the TV weather guy out of Springfield MO said to expect about 1 inch of snow in Waynesville,where we lived.Next morning had about 18 inches in my front yard.Weather guy came on first thing he said was Oops.
I love to hear Tater's GROWL when you're pulling out-- it's like he's almost human and saying " Ok- got work to do- get out of the way!! " :) LOVE tator!!! I was offered the chance to drive the one my boss owned in California- but couldn't because of the child support from my divorce- they wouldn't let me even test for it. Sad too, the boss picked me out of 45 drivers he had- some been there a LOT longer than I had- some even military truck drivers..
Best wrecker and towing content in all media platform... im a truck driver and i run missouri a lot hope i see you out there. But not towing me i dnt want the bill 😂😂😂😂
Always great to watch these. My husband and I enjoy the full video on the short hauls. Also enjoy the after credits show. Keep up the good work and may God bless you.
Thank you for the long video. Bonus footage too... awesome! Subs like myself always like to see the extras. Keep it up. Stay safe out there. View you guys next time.
Been hooked on these videos lately. Trying to get caught up on them. But this ones caught my eye because I've decked and undecked trailers before. Using an over head crane instead tho
Take it easy there, Ron... any more cameras and camera angles, the FCC is going to lower the boom and tell you to open up MidWest Broadcasting, lol... You've kind of outdone yourself on this production, with the footage you gathered and assembled. Only thing missing was a Mike-cam, lol. Hope you guys are having a good summer. Keep those ticks and biting insects at bay, safety from all angles !
Awesome video Ron, love the different views. Hey, you and your crews be Safe out there, especially now with this wild unpredictable weather. May your God go with you and crews on each journey ye take. 👍👍
Ron, great job as always. Gotta say I'm enjoying the longer videos, seeing everything from start to finish. Be safe out there sir and god bless you and yours.
Love Talons attitude, always see the guy around. Also loved the fact you brought your son out in the truck for some real world experience. Keep up the great work my man, keep safe and return home to your family.
I believe Tallon is a son in law.
@almapowers7571😊yes he is and Ron is a grandpa
Loving the longer videos. I'd like to see more of yourself and Talon, together these are the best. God bless.
I love how you let him figure out what’s wrong versus telling him what’s wrong right away. That is good teaching right there!! Only way to learn is to be hands on in my eyes. Awesome job Ron and good job to your partner too. Good eye!
Thanks Ron for the time laps and the storm, I thank the Lord that we in the UK rarely get storms that bad.
God bless, Ron & Family and all your workers who it looks like go the extra mile.
I love the way you treat your subordinates. "Please" and respect and gentle correction instead of "do this" and "you did it wrong". A lot of bosses could learn from you.
Raised right with country manners, I'm guessing.
If all "bosses " were as good as Ron , work would be more pleasant . I have worked for a couple of awful ones , who can only manage furniture - no people skills . One , whatever you did was wrong !! in his eyes , and always took over .
Also taking care of him, like making sure he cant fall hard while cranking the *word* trailer down. Its wholesome.
I also like the way that he doesn't ask them to do anything that he is not willing to do himself.
Hello Ron, I just found your channel a few days ago and am loving your videos.I love to hear about family businesses and how they start small and become big operations that are a true success.Its very refreshing to see a business owner who appreciates their employees and customers and credits their success to the blessings from God.I drove over the road including coast to coast two seperate periods in my life.I love big trucks ,big wreckers and all that goes with them.You , your family and employees stay safe out there.God Bless you and your entire operation.
Enjoyed the video. Storm's a brewing. God bless you and Mike and keep you safe from the storms.
Ron, you are amazing. Sometimes I get exhausted just watching your shows. You are the Vince Lombardi of the towing industry. You demand perfection from everyone you deal with and it doesn't matter who. That's because you demand perfection of yourself. What you can teach to someone is unbelievable. Sometimes I think it would be tough to work for you because of your demand for excellence but that's how you succeed in an industry loaded with liability and insurance. It's not simply amazing but perfection to its fullest. Your anal, a fanatic and a perfectionist. I have worked for many men like you and I am 70 years old and happily retired. It's always a pleasure to watch you on UA-cam and please keep up your standards for excellence 👍. May God Bless us with continuing to watch you . Thank you Sir.😊
Thank you Ron, for people who don’t know what we do, (you show it just like it is). Sometimes your not lucky and you get caught out in the rain, snow, ice, or the blazing sun and all the while worrying about traffic. Your very good at what you do. Great videos I always learn a lot.
Thank you for the geniality you provide your customers and employees. Happy workers make money. Happy customers give it for free.
I do envy you and your dedication to hard work. Your gentleness with new crew members is as admirable as I've ever seen.
You're single handedly making amiddle class in this country. After years of butt-sitting victims.
I salute you
The way you treat others....employees and customers alike...is an excellent testimony of your faith!
I miss the thunderstorms out west. 23 years in KS before moving up to VT. Out of everything its the storms. Good video as always.
Ron, I really appreciate your all of your"Tator" videos especially ones featuring weather (or expected storms.) I live in Los Angeles so weather is a fresh change. Also, I think your videos are superior to other Rotator videos. Some guys think that just because they shoot the scene on video that it will be interesting. They are wrong. Your descriptive remarks, steady camera, great editing and multiple cameras make for an extremely interesting show. Thank you!
Love how he takes whatever time needed to teach his crew in a very understandable way, without being "commanding"
Happy Fathers Day and awesome video from start until you get back home - all the way thru - just what i like to see ! Your experience shows just how good you are , something that takes you 45 minutes or an hour takes Plaza Towing 3 or 4 hours to do the same thing . You don't have the wasted motion and going back and forth and wasted time and steps that they take . Keep your videos coming , you ARE hands down the best of the best !
Ron I don't know if it's you and your ridiculous amount of experience, or the fact that your rotator could likely relocate mountains without even breaking a sweat, but I kid you not, you make stuff like this look easy.
Yea, this is a guy who is very good at what he does.
And a very good man too.
The note that you tied was a double hafe hich
I love your videos and I learn a lot from them and you inspired me to learn more about towing
And God bless you and your family
Ron, I appreciate your videos. I drove a truck OTR for 12 years, mainly flatbed. Your job can be very dangerous. I pray for you and your crews daily. Keep up the great job.
38 years away from the Midwest, and I still miss the rain rolling in off the Plains.
Another great video Ron, thank you for taking the time to share. You do a terrific job to inform, educate and entertain. Can't wait to see what you get up to next. Take care, Cheers Warren
Nicely done Ron. Great video and I'm not even half way through it. Watched the rest of it, very nice how you done the ending from start to finish in high speed I like videos like this from start to finish
Every time you get on the top of something and look down, I get lots of butterflies in my stomach........ P.S. The weather radar is wrong a lot here in WV......... Hahahaha.....clear, yeah I hear ya !!!!!
I think perhaps going into weather prediction is a good job, it never really matters if it’s right 😂😂 here in the UK it’s even more the case with it being an Island.
And here's where Ron lost the strap for the tag line...think he was trying to beat the storm. Thank you Ron another excellent video, sure beats what's on TV.
I like the way you treat your team. You don't mad at them and belittle them. "Way to go Ron awesome boss" God bless
Really liking the longer videos and the bits at the shop. good job Ron.
I like the big carabiners makes it so easy to keep everything organized and handy
Thank you for the tag line. So really important in any free lift. Control the load. Safety first.
i had to run a 20ft. flat bed truck saturday with a crane and unload 25 ft poles. first time ever running a crane. you make it look easy. (there was no one there that ever ran a crane.) you make it look easy.
i was asked just to drive the truck since i have the cdl. (been driving for 25 yrs tractors and trailers)
and did what i've heard you say and seen you do many of time, test lift and small easy moves.
Glad you performed it safely. Thanks for watching and God bless.
thanks for your tips and and a few tricks
Great timing Ron. Just got up to make dinner. Now I have something to watch. Thank you, and keep up the great work.
Was wondering why you couldn't latch on to it and pull it out from in between the others to make it easier to rig & lift? Just starting to watch the video. I love watching these. Not sure why but must be because of how polite, professional and easy going you are, Ron.
I wish I could work for you, Mister Pratt. I want to learn always. I'm a welder, metallurgist, cook, deck swab, on-spot chemist, maintenance, HVAC and hired-man. You are an inspiration. You will and (likely HAVE) experience EXTREME pressure to disconnect from social media (from even your best friends) but I am here to say: I am 40 and learn every day and one of the things I've learned is : Never stop saying what you mean.
Yeah I'm Christian, but what I also admire about you is your conviction and energy.
Keep up your work. "Keep your room clean" and you will likely find degrees of bliss here before true bliss in Heaven.
that would be called a Jack-of-trades (or skills), he could do a "vocation vacation" if the insurance company/agent says it is okay
As a retired heavy haul owner operator I never liked having to call a wrecker service but I a lot of respect and appreciation for all those who do your job professionally.
I don't know that anybody LIKES to call upon our services, but I try to be professional and do the best job I can to help people who are usually not having the best of days.

Still learning these phones . Sorry about the spelling
Ron, not sure about the whole knot thing, but loving the full length videos. They show us just that little more insight into the jobs that you do, and the things that you have to deal with (like Mother Nature).
Glad you and Mike made it back to (and in) the shop before the rain started. That was toss some soap on the truck, and get a free truck wash weather.
You and your entire crew be safe out there, and god bless.
pretty easy to look up a knot via search, its a bowline
This is why I like watchin' Mr. Pratt videos, he's all about SAFETY.
Ron, your videos get better and better. Loved the rear-view cam! And the storm. And everything else! Superb!!
Our whole office watches your videos sometimes and we all start cheering when you pull something out
Mr.Pratt i have to say i have learned so much that helps me every day. As a rookie heavy duty operator i aspire to be as wise and as knowledgeable you one day.
My boss askes how i learned how to do somthing ive learned from you and all i say is "ron pratt" everyone in the yard watches your videos so they know exactly who you are
Great work ron, currently i am doing the same, with a single hidraulic boom, installed in my Scania truck, the hardest part is making the center of the trailer..
and of course we have wind down here in chile..
One of theese days i will upload a video about my work..
Again, apreciate your videos, im learning with your expierence.
God bless.
Just going back looking at your old videos I missed for one reason or another. Most people won't notice, but being a professional video editor for 39 years, I wanted to say that you have some decent editing skills, my friend. And thanks for the extra "rear window" footage. Love your videos.
I love the time lapse clips. It really gives a new perspective to the work you do.
Ron is always polite and approachful to his crew . . .
As someone who loves watching thunder and lightning storms, I was almost unsure of what I liked the best, the lift or the storm, either way Ron, this was a great video and thank you for sharing
If we get thunder storms over here, I go get a chair and sit at the door and just watch the storm, I've always been fascinated by thunder and lightning
Please do no have a window or a door directly behind your chair. I also hope it is not a metal chair.
Because, an aunt and I have been injured by lightning coming behind us through the house.
Ron I have a 55" 4k tv and when you have the camara in the cab it is like I am riding with you I love it. Keep them coming
Another new video for our viewing pleasure! Thanks Ron and God bless.
Sir Ron !!! Saw on the newer wreckers that they have caution lites on the cabinet drs to warn drivers when the drs are open !! Really shows up good at night like the halo lite on your hard hat !!!! Keep the videos coming & KEEP IT SAFE !!!!!!
Sweet rigging, Ron. Your angles, centering, safety considerations and boom angles are better than a lot of heavy-lift master riggers.
This whole time I'm sitting here thinking "please miss the storm for Ron!" Glad you stayed dry guys. As always, another great video!
Cut that one close there! Glad you guys didn't get drenched on that one - looked like a real soaker!
We just finally got some summer weather here today (been cool the past 3 weeks), followed by a 1-2 succession of storms several minutes apart. Was getting dry here - we needed it too.
Funny how 12k seems a "light" load, after seeing what that rotator normally handles. My pickup would be struggling just pulling the flatbed all by itself. I hauled close to that once - an F-Super Duty bucket truck - a former telephone truck, utility body, bucket, and all. The tandems were hanging off the sides and back, and the fronts were 50% over the edge too - a full load for that 18' dovetail. Made the 25 mile journey without an issue, but I won't be doing that again. Way too much for a '07 half ton pickup!
Great vid as usual. Thanks, and God bless.
I could not work out the picture at the start till i watched it to the end and it was the rear of the Rotator and as all ways you're a true Gentleman never a bad word thank you Ron Pratt and stay safe .
Ive watched other wrecker/recovery company videos. Not that there is anything wrong with them, I just cant get into them like I do with your videos. Great work!
Love watching your vids! Praying for you, your family, and co-workers continually! God Bless You!
Again another great job done with the storm coming.have a safe trip back to the shop.
We had that last week across the pond on the west coast of Scotland, 60 mph winds and the rain to follow same as yourself cooled it down to a nice manageable temp especially when were not used to it here.
Hi mr Pratt, i love the full length videos sir, they are great. I thought it was very interesting to replay the last sped up credits from boom cam and just watch the storm activity! You can literally see the cell turn heading and head straight for you. Oh the knot was two half hitches on your tag line wasn't it. Here's wishing you and your family good health and happiness sir you take care. I love your work and am a huge fan of your channel.
Another great video and everybody stayed safe God bless you and your family again thank you for your videos
Loved that rain. Here in California, we get some hard rains at times. When we do, I'm like a kid all over again, lol. A 52 year old man like myself feeling like a kid again, I wish my body would feel the kid inside me, but only the heart and mind.
Hey Ron I'm ron from Michigan i watch all your shows lots of work and lot hard work.and most of all the highways.be careful like you do.
Love the video a lot. Love the speical treats at the end. Made it back just in time. Good Work Ron and Mike
..a storm sure gives you incentive to work fast and safe, as always..good job
So glad that you showed footage of the storm!!!!!
I remember those midwest storms vividly. Like being in a car wash for a couple of hours then its all over.
Love the port to port videos. I’m a roll back driver and I like watching ur video to learn. Hope to see more port to port videos
You tied 2 half hitches. One of the most useful knots.
I look forward to watching your videos all the time.. you keep me calm.... love the great job you are doing. Keep up the great work. And God bless you and your family 👍
I was thinking the same thing
We had that lovely weather in Melbourne Australia this morning. Glad I didn't join my husband at golf! Did the clothes washing instead lol! Happy that you made it back in the truck before it hit.
I like it when you have Mike with you, he is a very good hard working employee!!!!😎
Ron you have better luck then I. Every time I’m fighting weather it seems to hit just before I’m finished.
That's "can't see across the street rain!" Glad you got that job done before the storm hit.
Dear Mr. Pratt Love Youré Videos and the Way You treat all that You meet by beeing so Polite that is the Way to protect a Buisness, as I Think !!!
We sure did need the rain. I didn't want it, but we needed it. Nice upload sir! LOL, Thats my kind of treat! I watch them all in double time anyway. Very nice viewpoint!
Thank you Ron. Very good.video all the way to the end. Stay safe.
Awesome video! I'm enjoying the longer videos & all the extra footage! Keep up the great work! Happy Father's Day to you & everyone else at Midwest Truck!!
Brilliant vlog love the full length so we see everything a great big thank you from me god bless you and your family
Ron, as a retired over the road driver I was all ways proud of my shifting skills. But I must bow the a true master. You shift as smooth as anyone I ever seen. But as a former trainer I do notice that your eyes do leave the road a lot. But yhat said I would ride with you any where, any time. My wife even likes your cideos!
Really enjoyed the clip of the storm and how close you guys came to being in it.
The knot 1of 24 bowline knots the single bowline used to put a temporary loop in a piece of rope.Back in the old days I would use rope slings with a bowline in the bite to put double eyes or loops in the middle of a long rope to make the slings you use straps for these days with single bowline in the 2 ends for the lifting hooks.. Marine rigger, small vessel captain, merchant sailor, truck driver. background. Good video.
Yo! Don...straighten this young man out. Still love to see your videos and all that stuff. Take care and God Bless you, your employees and of course your family! Cheers from Indianapolis.
A string walks into a bar, plops down and asks the bartender for a beer! Bartender says "we don't serve your kind around here so you best leave!" So the string gets up and heads outside where he throws himself around, shakes himself all over, gets all frazzled and walks back into the bar, sits down and orders up a beer. Bartender looks at him and says "say, weren't you just in here?" To which the string replies "No, I'm a frayed not!" Thought you and your viewers would enjoy this. :)
Be sure to watch all the way after the credits for several special treats.
p.s. About the knot.....In Scouts I was taught this was a two-half hitches knot, if you look closely, however, the dead end of the line comes through the same way as the first run, which, technically, makes it a cow-hitch knot. Not that I'm great at knot tying, it's just not the knot I thought I was taught to tie. Try saying that rapidly without tying your tongue in knots. I wonder what knot that would be? The tongue-twisted knot that is, not the other knot. Too many knots. Is Don around????? LOL

Weather reminded me of the time the TV weather guy out of Springfield MO said to expect about 1 inch of snow in Waynesville,where we lived.Next morning had about 18 inches in my front yard.Weather guy came on first thing he said was Oops.
I love to hear Tater's GROWL when you're pulling out-- it's like he's almost human and saying " Ok- got work to do- get out of the way!! " :) LOVE tator!!! I was offered the chance to drive the one my boss owned in California- but couldn't because of the child support from my divorce- they wouldn't let me even test for it. Sad too, the boss picked me out of 45 drivers he had- some been there a LOT longer than I had- some even military truck drivers..
hi ron ive wish you and all the guys and your dad a safe and joyfull dads day to all of you guys there take care tom protzman from wisconsin.

Great video Ron.. happy father's day
Been hooked on these videos lately. Trying to get caught up on them. But this ones caught my eye because I've decked and undecked trailers before. Using an over head crane instead tho
Very interesting, and the guy with you hustled and was focused on doing a good job. Thanks.
Yeah, that is Mike for you, a dependable hard worker
Amazing, I never get bored watching. The end was good. I like how you taken different shots of the lift.
Take it easy there, Ron... any more cameras and camera angles, the FCC is going to lower the boom and tell you to open up MidWest Broadcasting, lol... You've kind of outdone yourself on this production, with the footage you gathered and assembled. Only thing missing was a Mike-cam, lol. Hope you guys are having a good summer. Keep those ticks and biting insects at bay, safety from all angles !
Awesome video Ron, love the different views. Hey, you and your crews be Safe out there, especially now with this wild unpredictable weather. May your God go with you and crews on each journey ye take. 👍👍
Ron, great job as always. Gotta say I'm enjoying the longer videos, seeing everything from start to finish. Be safe out there sir and god bless you and yours.
What does it say about American entertainment when the best thing on TV is Ron Pratt? Once again ---- Good Job !!!
Awesome video of the storm/rain
Great Job as always Ron. Sorry I don't know the name of the knot you tied. Have a great Father's day weekend. God Bless!!!
