- Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching. Today, it's just me and the "Little Pete" #10 our Peterbilt 337 with a Miller Industries, Century 4024, 20 ton towing & recovery unit to move and load a derelict truck onto a step deck trailer with long ramps. Yes, I could have used another truck or a different method, but, my common analogy, "there are multiple ways to reach 10" applies. Watch to see how we get this task accomplished!!! 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!!!

Ron is just an awesome man and true professional. I was the truck driver in video and long time subscriber to Rons channel. Just for closure on this particular load, it was delivered without problems. i ended up going overkill route per Rons advice and using 4 axle chains and 2 body chains. Lets just say you could flip this trailer upside down and little truck would stay there. Thank you Ron
It was awesome working with you and a pleasure to assist. Looks like you have a good start in your new path. Thank you for the kind comments and I wish you much success. I hope we meet again someday. Take care, thank you for watching and God bless.
really impressed when you asked rons advice. shows a lot of character
That's a nice rig you got there Mersed. Always good to ask questions, as everyone has a different way to do the same thing. Take advice and adjust it to your own situation and you will go far.
Nice truck and trailer!
More securement the better.
It impressed me when the driver more or less asked for some tie down advice and admitted he hadn't done loads like that much. It was nice of you to share your thoughts on the subject.
Same here. He wasn’t relying only on his experience but harvesting a little knowledge from Ron. Professionals are always learning. 👍🏻
Yep. admitting when you're not sure about something or don't know something and asking for advice isn't a sign of being stupid, it's a sign of intelligence, the driver was smart to ask.
Have to agree. Ran flatbed back in the 80s. Taking advice from someone that tows trucks around on tying down areas.
I had to help out a tow truck driver who took my old car away, he wasn't to proud to ask. The world runs better when people help each other.
Oh yeah, can learn something new everyday.
Ron Pratt Friday
i wish every day was Ron Pratt day
"Overkill is underrated," my man. I love it. A truer statement has never been said.
Good to watch you again.. my husband and I use to watch you all the time but he has lung cancer and he's dying so I hadn't watch you in a while. I love watching ur videos. My husband don't know nothing he sleeps all the time. Please keep me in you all prayers. God bless u and ur family.
Mutual respect and mutual humility. Driver asking Ron about tie-down indicates he knew what he did not know and was willing to ask. Ron then deferred to him after sharing how and why. A few seconds of goodness.
Of course, everyone loves "The 'Tator," number 11, including me, but I've always been a fan of the number 10 truck. The proverbial "just right" for many jobs.
I ran a 20 ton unit like that when I was new, very versatile and teaches you lots of useful things. I loved the "baby Pete"! Doing Tractor swaps was its main use but on recoveries it was a very useful truck. Of course we didn't have rotators then....😉!
I even love his Ford F650 Rollback.
That was a really nice tractor-trailer setup he had.
Ron out there spreading “Overkill is underrated.” Love the fact that safety is taken seriously! I don’t know if you have posted an update on the transponder that works with waze telling people to slow down and move over? Would love to see a demo on that
Drove for TMC for about a year. At a truck a swift drive joked about the amount chains I had on my "suicide" coils. Asked if I needed more... my response..." if you have 4 spare chains, I would be more than happy to take them
I do the slow down,move over and almost get run over half the time,
Ooh never heard of that, sounds cool.
@@johnhurd6243 I’ve seen videos of coils breaking their chains and rolling, crushing the cab when they got that far, luckily it was the passenger side of the truck, there’s nothing you can do to prevent them from rolling if they really want to. There’s a steel mill near where a friend lives and seeing a massive multi ton train with only two coils per car and those centered over the dollies really helps you appreciate how heavy they are.
@@johnhurd6243 I move construction equipment and on most loads I use every chain on the truck. If something happens I want to know it won't come loose
Thank You for my Friday night entertainment
One thing I like about your vids is your correct use of diction, grammar and elucidation.
That was another great job when I was driving tractor trailer I was never afraid to ask someone for advice. That is how l learned to tie down tie down loads.
The man that defers to Ron is a smart man.
I like the trailer too. I'm glad he asked your advice about strapping it down. Never too old to share ideas & knowledge. A lot of people wouldn't.
Ron there is always a teaching moment. Knowing your craft in any occupation is key for a great success. Like this man asking questions for tying, it down. Gross weight of the Truck with service bed. Strength of chains or tie down straps. Tie down points without damaging the truck of his trailer. Taking a tire hammer to the tires to see if the inside tires had air. Night driving since he is going 900 miles you can never be too careful and that's why I watch your videos.
Teaching safety is the greatest thing i see you do. Next comes with safety is keeping your equipment up. Putting the caption in upgrading all trucks to the safety hook i liked that.
At one point in my career i use to operate a crane truck setting A/C unit, Building material, you man it. Thanks for the videos.
I was in communications in the Navy and we had an expression, “It’s better to overroute than underroute” unclassified messages. Your safety can never be an overkill. I was wondering how you were gonna winch that truck. I am always amazed at your ways to accomplishing your tasks.
I love the end credit...😉✝️✝️👍👍thanks Ron preciate ya
Love the "over kill is under-rated" pov.... Also good to see a new guy deferring to the vet on how to hook up.... You told him how you think is best, and why so he will understand and see the pro's of your way. Next time we will be more confident in how to tie down his load.... Thank you Ron for taking us with you on this little job.
Ron I'm kinda shocked, I know it wasn't a long job or anything but you have in your rig the perfect camera assistant available. Duct tape the tripod legs down and the camera stays put.
And I couldn't agree more, more, more.
More chains is always a good idea. Stay safe brother.
I always forget what day of the week it is. Ron helps me remember that its Friday with one of his fantastic videos.
It reminded me that my vacation is over and back to work tomorrow. 😂
Another great video. What impresses me the most is your attention to detail. First, you made sure the owner of that lot was OK with you using it to load that truck. And after you got it loaded, you re-leveled the spots where your spades dug in. I don't know if all operators would have taken that much concern for that property. You are truly a great operator.
I pledge allegiance to you, Ron
Thanks for a video with #10! Brings back fond memories! I ran one when I was new, '82 359 Pete. That baby Pete was an awesome unit.....lots of uses! Good unit to start on! Keep up the good work Mr. Ron!
That is a good lookin trailer! Another happy customer
I love how you make an involved job look simple and easy. That's the mark of a professional.
What is it... work smart, not hard
@@johnhurd6243 Work SMARTER, not HARDER!
I was very impressed with the Young Man asking for advice from a pro. Ron thank you for sharing your words of wisdom to that Young Man this is the reason why I enjoy watching your UA-cam Videos may God continue to bless you & your Employees
I really enjoy you videos, I drove a front dump concrete mixer before I retired so I did have inner action with your business from time to time, lol. I considered tow truck drivers extreme stress relief, because when they showed up, I was usually in a very bad situation, and in need of some heavy duty help. You do an excellent job, glad I found your channel. Now I can show my wife first hand why she dealt with soiled underwear 🩲 at times! 😂🤭🤫
my first-time exposure to "little Pete"; what a pretty little truck! a fascinating job, well done!
Must have been something special with that Truck to be Hauled 1000 Miles .
Much thanks Ron.
Mike M.
I love watching you at work
Your videos have become a Friday morning breakfast tradition in my home. You remind me so much of a good friend, Scott Burrows, who I worked with on many an accident scene when I was in public safety. Good memories. Keep up the excellent work.
We run 10 steps with ramps. They can handle 20000 to 23500 per axle. So that truck is no problem. He had a nice trailer for sure. Good job Ron.
Used to run a bunch scrap down your way 15 yrs ago...wish I had your # then.
Great job Ron I love watching the Channel
One of the best sayings ever "over kill is under rated"
Ron you always make sure that the job is safely so no one gets hurt like you said there is nothing wrong with overkill going with 8 chains instead of 4 just makes the load more secured going on that long trip
Hope you your family and the Midwest Crew have a good weekend and stay safe
Morning Mr Ron stay safe and well wishes for all involved and prayers for your family and all the employees have a bless weekend.
Great Video! I can see your awesome Skillset shining through!
Nice change of pace. No "ARC" nemesis, no traffic, no driveshaft removal. The only thing I couldn't figure out is why ANYONE would pay to haul a derelict truck 900 miles. If the condition of the seat was any indication of the care given to the mechanical parts of the truck, that should have been a pull to the nearest scrap yard. Have a safe weekend Ron.
Someone wanted the "Air Pack" machine that was on the front of the bed. At least that is what I was told. They were going to repurpose that and scrap the rest. Thanks for watching and God bless.
Restoring old machinery is making a comeback as new machinery can be more expensive than repairing old machinery. Keeping history alive can be good.
You made that look easy. Great video.
Good Afternoon My Good Big Bro Ron Pratt Sir & God Bless You & All Of You're Whole Family & All Of You're Whole Staff
Keep up the great work you do
That driver has a nice rig, thanks for sharing Ron, have a nice day and be safe. see you on the next video✌
At first i thought the same but the fenders look scrached and its a bit rusted. I would gues some time ago it was really nice truck, but when it got older it was passed down to newer guys. But its only my thoughts .
Ron, thank you for your videos. You certainly are a professional in your business practices and knowledge of your occupation. In addition, your videos are very clean and family friendly. I have great respect in the way you treat everyone-customers and especially employees. You represent Christ well. May He continue to use you and your business in advancing the Kingdom.
That driver appreciated you. I like mutual respect.
Love seeing this smaller truck in action, nice change of pace from the larger Rotator Jobs.
Another job well done Ron. Smoothing the divots out from the spades was a great thing. Most likely a competitors repair facility. You don't want them to say "you left a mess when you were last here" so you can't work on our property. Not a challenging job but knowing what you're doing is always a plus. Stay safe!
Ron, I liked that you used # 10 for this job. It shows that you have other equipment besides the rotator to accomplish the job and in a lot of cases for less expense for you. You and the truck did just you wanted it to do.
I was going to ask about the gravel but you answered it for me. I don't think I've seen a spread so pristine.
great video Ron and sharing your advice to the younger generation of trucker with tie down advice great to see people working together instead of against one another. Be SAFE🤙🙏🇺🇸
Ron! I love it that you go the extra mile and do the little things like putting gravel rocks back in the hole that was made by the tow truck! That is very considerate of you! It's very nice when people clean after themselves and leave things as they found them!
Thank you so much for the video really enjoyed watching you and God bless please post two times a week video
Unit 11, the 'Tator, would definitely have been overkill for a derelict truck like that! Little Pete, unit 10, was the perfect size for the job! Always use what will work, that's a good way to look at it.
That wind was sure something. You see that on the beach usually. Another great job and another great video. Enjoyed it.
Keep up the good work love watching you on UA-cam God bless you Ron
I really enjoy watching your videos, I drove a front dump concrete mixer before I retired, so I did have inner action with your business, from time to time, lol.

I think I heard that driver say he was quite new at what he was doing when you were discussing the tie down options. I'm not sure whether he meant something specific such as transporting a truck on a trailer, the tie down or trucking in general but he solicited advice and seemed eager to learn. That's a better way to find out about sprung load oscillation than _the hard way._ Both of you had that helpful, cooperative attitude that I like seeing in any work setting.
Does your business card include information about your UA-cam channel?
Good morning Ron & crew hope everyone has a great day today & stay safe out there.
As always, Ron at his best. The man knows what he is doing at all times, takes time to make sure all is safe and does so with knowledge. Bless him.👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻👷🏻♂🥇
Tator is an impressive piece of equipment, but I love that little pete. Neat little truck
Hey Ron nicely done and thanks for sharing some knowledge. I used to drive construction plant and that meant a lots of steel on steel, so the older drivers would last the load down every which way. Over the years of work they had amassed an arsenal of chains, tie down hitches of every kind.
One load would be electric powered cranes that ran on rail track and so a set of rail would be laid on the trailer bed, the driver had the trailer drilled and plated to bolt down those rails. He was not taking chances plus we used the cranes hoist rope to help hold it down.
Liked the way you kick the gravel back into the jack hole, it's little things like that, that show you was brought up right. My daddy would say, If you can't do a person no good, do him no harm.
Thanks for posting and it was good not to see a wreck.
I was also admiring that trailer. Very nicely configured for a step deck. I noticed it has the bars to use the ramps to drive something onto the step as well.
Also much respect to the driver for admitting he's new to this and asking for advice.
Ron showing the rest of us how to get er done.
Getting it done is the task as safely it could take RON gets it done always love his job 👍🙌👏
Ron I just found your channel and I just started making my own trucking content, yours is so awesome!
ALL Jobs are Done Professionally and Safely. 👍🙏
Thank you Ron for this intresting & diffrent video. A 900 mile trip yeah DEFFENTLY over kill time 8 point tie down is the way to go.
Another Job well done Ron Pratt. You make everything look so easy. Take care and God bless.
I respect each of you for helping each other work this problem. Attentive, interested driver who is on his toes. Good job!
Watched this one while at a family reunion in Vermont.
I am so impressed that your equipment is always so clean
I like it when you use the other trucks for some job. Great video and stay as safe as you can and all your employees.Thanks for the video. Gob best you and family and staff.
The safety hooks like these are nice, until its snowing and it freezes shut! Good job as usual!
Nice little 'fill in' job. Those things are ceiling on the cake--especially if not far from home base. Maybe more of these type jobs will come along as people work back out after covid. I' used to always hand out a couple business cards to everyone I dealt with--also sent some in the mail envelope to anyone i billed, also. Was in towing business 27+ years.
But good job there-Ron.
I love watching your videos and hats off to Ron, you're a true a professional.
Another fine job and happy customer by Midwest Trucks . Overkill is Underrated should be on the front of a tee shirt hint hint. Be safe out there Ron.
That was a different kind of tow job pulling that truck onto a trailer! Good job Ron! Better to have more tie downs that have it walk off the trailer!
I look forward to your videos. I don't understand why anyone would complain about your infrequent sponsored videos. They need to understand every you tube channel needs them to provide content.
Follow the driver to unload it. 😁 Excellent job!
I’ve encountered wind like that, great video
The gentleman had a nice outfit, very clean and the ramps on the trailer were amazing, can tell pride of ownership. Cheers my friend
#10 seems like a capable and versatile truck. Can't handle the bigger stuff, but its smaller size lets it get into tighter areas, and I'm sure it's more economical to run too. Love to see it.
no need for the "tator" for that little truck.... it could've just picked it straight up and swung it on the bed, but it would take longer to rig that than it did for this whole job
Jaron, that's the beauty of the work you do. Seen on 8-7-22 at 15:52 in Amsterdam.
Always a new adventure. Thanks for sharing Ron
Always something different.
Always enjoyable.
Always something to learn.
I've watched you every Friday since the 5 minute video days Ron.
Thank you for being better than cable TV.
Your friend down the road in Evansville, IN.
Ron Pratt does it again with dad 😎
Interesting job!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Another nice easy one. Thank you for another great video. God Bless.
Another great video thanks Ron we love you for what you do
Not sure how many tow men would take the time to smooth out the divots made by anchor points in new gravel. But Ron did it the right way! Leave little or no trace of being there.
Ron you always can figure out how to do a job and do it right and God Bless you and your family and friends and be careful and safe and may the force be with you
That is a interesting ramp setup he had for the trailer. Get to see cool things when watching your videos thank you for making them.
The wind sounds like I-80 and I-25 in Wyoming
Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota
nice work 👍👍👍👍 thanks for sharing may God bless you and yours ✝️ stay safe out there
You must have alot of critics also,You mentioned in the beginning you were just moving it around the lot,at least the gravel pad is good, Your a full saftey, and proper rigging guy,if you watch your videos,Thumbs up
That's a nice trailer!
Both of you drivers are professionals. B SAFE
Nice job!!! Very professional 👏 👌 👍 😀
It's not often it's Ron with truck/trailer envy ... usually is someone looking at the Rotator!
That kid had a real nice rig, for sure.
Ron, As we say in the UK , “variety is the spice of life”. Another great job and a very creative way of loading the utility truck on to the flat bed. What a lovely truck Mersed is driving. It looks like a real truck should. Stay safe! Best Wishes
Awesome , Thanks Ron 😊
