You can tell the driver is a good trucker. Called for help when needed, listened to direction, backed like a true pro.
Ron's trying NOT to boss his worker around.
He knows his worker knows the job, and as much as Ron wants to help, he KNOWS to let his staff to their jobs.
Good on you mate.
Ron's the kind of boss we wish we all had. Ron is respectful, honest, non-micromanaging, and always helpful. Ron's videos teach a lot that has nothing to do with towing or recovery.
I so glad we have YOU to narrate the action for us so we all know exactly what's going on...the rest of us may not have been hit with a clue-bat...
@@buckhorncortez problem is he's wrong lol ron is literally telling the guy what to do
Love the profile picture brotha.
He got into a tight squeeze, but hey his backwards driving is really good. High five to the driver🖐
it's pretty average. it's straight and in the daylight. couldn't be easier.
Really good you set😂😛😂
Some dogs are much smarter than their owners.
The job isn't done till the customer is on his way to his destination.
Ron, what sticks out to me throughout your videos is your calm professionalism, complete dedication to safety, and your approach of thinking your way through a job. I spent 17 years on the street as a volunteer paramedic in the Houston area from 1979 through 1996, and the tow operators there couldn't have been any more different. You have a good working relationship with your partners in EMS, the fire service, and law enforcement, and that makes a dangerous job go much better than it does when all the others want is to get the heck out of there and away. You have given me plenty of cause to hold you and your compadres in a lot more respect than I used to. My hat's off to you.
Ron is Missouri born and bred. LOL would expect nothing less of him.
I spent 38 years as a police officer in a midwest city. Most of the tow truck operators I dealt with were clueless and would not take any advice from the cop since obviously I wasn't driving a tow truck. Securing a car on the flat-bed (roll back) with one chain and the winch was common. I didn't know that was wrong until I started watching Ron's videos. Getting them to clean up broken glass and debris was also like pulling teeth. Half of them didn't carry a broom, shovel, or oil dry. Sorry for the rant. Ron really shows how to do the job with courtesy and professionalism. Most people who need a tow know they messed up. They don't need to have their nose rubbed in it.
Common sense isn’t so common any more with some of these new truckdrivers
When you're in a mess. You want guys like these to show up and help out. Calm and professional. Great job guys...
As you said Ron, kudos to the driver he done brilliantly well reversing his rig all that way ( 3/4 of a mile at a guess?) and a very simple job to the experienced crew that is Midwest towing and recovery , best wishes to all, stay safe and may God be with you all.
Dang, thats a long darn way to back a 53' trailer! My compliments to the driver for keeping his head and acting like a pro despite getting into a tight fix.
COOL TO WATCH! I LOVE THE TEMPERAMENT OF THE LEAD TOW-TRUCK DRIVER!!!! HE KEPT THE SITUATION CALM..... TANDEM DRIVER GOT IT DONE THOUGH, THAT'S NOT A TOY TRAILER TO BACK UP....
The truck driver did an excellent job backing up such a huge trailer and long-distance. Comes with experience.
that was a good backing up...
@John Halstead ...l
It is said that in truck-driving school students reverse more than drive forward.
Experience?? Experience would not have gotten him in that situation in the first place. That's what wrong with this business too many "drivers" using GPS.
I know exactly what he was going through.
GPS - Gets People Stuck
proven right here 😂
Nah You just need the right model. A mass market GPS has no business in the cab of a semi. You need one designed for heavy trucks that knows not to send you down narrow winding roads, over bridges that won't support your weight, into a low can-opener type overpass, etc.
GPS = trust, but verify.
@@Dan_Neely not all "truck" gps' are good either some will still send you down roads you ain't supposed to
Manus Kenny my TOM TOM GPS have NEVER EVER SENT ME ANYWHERE I HAD NOT PLANNED TO GO, . , cheers 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
One of the tools that can be helpful is using Google maps and using the satellite view. I often use this to figure out what the best way to get into a particular shipper was. What side the docks are on etc. Can give you an idea of the best way to set yourself up to get in and out of the place. And oftentimes you would easily be able to see from above that this is a residential area and then that's not a good way to go.
Some of the stand-alone truck GPS is also have some problems and lack some of the handy features that come with Google maps or Waze for open highway use. Really I think you end up needing to use several tools to help you out here. Good old-fashioned truck Atlas, Google maps or waze, and truck based GPS.
The other thing that really helps and is simple to do is to simply make a phone call if you've never been to a particular place before call and talk to the shipping department and get someone to tell you what the best way is to get into the facility with a big rig.
"This is the most professional and kind wrecker service I have ever seen. Great compassion.
A few things working together, a versatile tow truck, a crew who know how to use it and a driver who followed instructions and didn't try to be clever.
I felt sorry for the driver. An honest mistake. Takes the blame. And still backs up like a true pro.
If only every driver was like this... 😉
Me too. And he had the added pressure of someone watching his every move not only from the front but the back too! I always reverse park and to park at home I have to reverse downhill, past 3 houses with their cars sticking out to my left, a lamp column to my right and an out of control tree/bush wanting to take my wing mirror! Sometimes there's a parked car to my right too, fun and games but you get used to it. I still think I'd have gone to pot in that situation and wobbled all the way back lol.
Of course a longer trailer is easier to back than a short one in this instance!
@@farmerbrown3768 I hear that here and there, but its not true. Length of the trailer doesn't matter. Its which trailer length you are used to.
Short ones react faster so they are easier to turn but then you have to correct them earlier (if you don't they get away from you fast) but less because they will react to the correction faster. So that is what throws you off when you change from one to the other.
That semi had a really interesting paint job. On one side it was solid metallic blue and on the other side it was blue camouflage.
Those Volvo trucks are really nice driving. Smooth riding and they have a fantastic turning radius.
He did a nice job backing up down that long street.
Sometimes stuff just goes wrong and you end up in the wrong place. Happens to everybody.
The possible scariest part, going across the tracks backwards. But a beautiful recovery like always Ron and the whole crew at Middwest.
It's been a while since I've seen the ol reliable 4024 in a video. Good to see unit 10 again. That driver also deserves a pat on the back for not completely freaking out and burying it up to the axles. We all make mistakes, hopefully he learned something from this. As always, be safe out there! God bless you, your crew and,your equipment!
Was thinking the same about the driver, did a very good job backing that up, not easy. I don't envy truck drivers, tough job, especially in neighborhoods. Nice work getting him out!
Of all the towing channels, you Ron are my favorite one to watch
Those little 20 ton units are a huge blessing in a small package. A few years ago, I pulled a load of ground plastic into a place that recycles it. There had been a storm overnight that left approximately 1/2" of glare ice in their bay. I had no problem backing in while near 80k lbs. Trying to get back out was another matter entirely. My tractor has full locking rears (not just a power divider), and I still couldn't get out. Our local heavy tow company sent out their 20 ton Century on a Sterling chassis. The operator surveyed the situation, dug the spades into the frozen pea gravel lot and within 10 minutes, my Classic was out of the hole and I was handing over my credit card. Luckily, the operator is my brother in law (and friend) so, I got the family discount lol!
As always Mr Pratt you did a great job assisting the truck driver not only getting him out off the mud but also getting the driver on the right track continue to stay safe keep the videos coming
I can certainly relate to that situation in my 38 years of trucking before I retired in 2015. I can’t count the number of times my GPS ‘lead me astray’! One particular time in the Midwest I had to back out down a road a bit more narrower than the one in this video for three miles. People were looking at me like I was crazy! Little did they know why I was there to start with! Great video as always, Ron. Stay safe and God Bless! (how do you like my new channel logo?)
Good morning Ron and as all youtubers.
Good morning Ron
Morning Kathy !
I've been there doing residential deliveries. Of course mine was a different situation, I was supposed to be where I was, just some unfortunate circumstances. You wrecker guys are the heroes of the highways. Thanks for all yall do sir.
Much like when I worked for a company that installed concrete tiled roofs for a major tile manufacturer. The council/developers designed the new housing areas to keep big rigs out, with traffic islands on every corner. Trouble was, the big rigs had to get in to make their deliveries. The ones that delivered to us, were fitted with a conveyor belt system for getting the tiles to the roof, so they HAD to reverse up to within about 3m of the front of the house we were doing the roof of. And the drivers were paid piece rates, not by the hour, so they just drove where they needed to go in order to get the job done, irrespective of traffic signs in the way, islands--including one that had only been concreted the day before-, council gardens etc, all got driven over whenever necessary--not our concern, as our job only started once the tiles arrived at roof level.
Ah Satnav fails again.
Several years ago when the tech was still relatively new I remember a story here in the UK about a car following directions from Satnav.
It directed them down to a river with a ferry, but there were 2 problems.
1. it was for pedestrians only; a rowboat in fact.
2. It hadn't been running for a year.
Happens quite often, over the channel, too, railroad tunnels, ferries, stairs. Read about all of them.
GPS is hell born. When you don't expect it, it get you.
happens a lot, just out of date databases, though even old paper maps can be little better ultimately
David Copplestone , having seen a sat nav, when there was someone from NZ , spent time in the UK, SEEING this, I asked TOM TOM if the had those here in USA, answer was a resounding NO, DARD they sent me th NO ANSWER IN EVERY LANGUAGE THEY SERVICE, IT MUST HAVE BEEN 20 PAGES LONG ! Only GPS here . Cheers 🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸
There was a story here in the US about someone following their GPS off a boat ramp and drowning.
Looks to me that the gentleman is a smart driver. He realized his situation and instead of making it worse, he called for help.
Nice job by the driver backing out of that mess. Well done by all involved. Thanks Ron
You’re a good man Ron, you treat everyone with respect. Kevin
He did a very good job backing up his big rig and trailer a long way, it looks he had a lot experience at the wheel. God bless you Ron 🙏 and all of your crew. Stay safe and always you'll be in my prayers 🙏.
Ron from one tow operator to another you have some nice looking trucks and you definitely know your job. I enjoy watching you on UA-cam.
@Hello Mack how are you doing
GPS fail has given this hapless driver an experience never to forget.. and back up experience he'll never forget. Not sure about the paint job, but sure love the camo half. Hoping everything ended up okay, and he's out there laughing at the goof the GPS did to him. God bless and have a wonderful weekend!
Thank you Ron. Many viewers don't know your trucks, (info on #10 truck in the video), and it's a perfect idea to have the information on screen for those who don't normally know. Please continue to have detailed information in all the upcoming videos.
As Always... Stay Safe out there!
A roll call of the entire fleet might be a nice thing to have.
Hello Ron thanks for sharing been missing your shows hope all is well prayers and good wishes to everyone back at your place enjoy your holiday weekend!!!keep the good shows coming!!!
It's always great seeing some of the other trucks in action!
The camo on the right side is so D.O.T can’t see him drive by the scales
Hahahaha
unusual but kool paint job on the truck. I have trained truck drivers for years and many still suck at backing up. Many drivers on the road now can not back up like that...good job to the driver.
The tow crew making sure that the semi driver was out of the neighborhood and safely to his destination is awesome.
Ron you guys went over and above and it is great to see. Good Job!!!!
good to see Kenny in a video!!
Poor guy got sucked into a trap, stayed calm, and backed like a champ. That "little" 20 ton was the perfect truck for the job, too.
You and your crew are always professional, and obviously are making plays from the same book. Just a few words, everyone has the picture, and everyone does their part. Well done!
It does happen...more than you think. Hooking to that bull guard got me nervous...those things are for looks only and aren’t strong otherwise. You could see it flexing. Good job. 🤩 The main thing the trucker needed was just a little tug, huh? That’s how it is. That 20 ton wrecker is pretty sharp! 😎Again, good job. God bless you, your crew and all of our truckers! Make the trip and enjoy the ride - Porter Dude!😎
Hallo from Albania and God bless USA.
Thanks buddy
Hello to Albania 🇦🇱 from the USA.
and GOD bless Albania !!!
Great team work. Your patience with driver is the real you. Thanks for sharing. Blessings. 🙏👠👠
Good to see anther video of you helping out a truck driver and not making him fill a fool because he listen to his GPS stay safe out there.
Excellent reversing from that driver! Well done sir!!
It is a joy to watch professionals liek you and your team "Team Midwest" . He was a very professional driver, it showed !
Gotta love that GPS. I was once driving a Boyd Brothers flatbed with the Navigo truck GPS built into the Peoplenet system. That dang thing told me, "Take the next left on US Forestry Service access road A-21." It was 2 gravel wheel tracks with a strip of weeds down the middle that snaked off into the national forest. Nope, nope, nopety, nope.
Mr.Pratt I’ve watched several of your videos and I must say that you are a really good person . Please keep up the good work and be safe out there .
Thank you very much. God bless.
This is why I like my 379 so much, it was originally a log truck before I bought it so it was spec'd to have plenty of ground clearance with tall rubber and true locking diffs 😁.
She'll pull out of most holes no problem.
GPS navigation it help but sometimes it doesn't keep up with the roads change . I am glad the driver got out with your help great job.👍Ron and crew and driver of the semi too
Great video Ron. Watching him back out made me think about a load I took to KC one time when I was driving a 18 wheeler end dump. We had to go out on a bridge that was not finished. The bridge was about 2 miles long when it was done. We had to drive out on it unload then back off of it. It was a mile out on the bridge where I unloaded then backed out. What I was hauling was for making the top 2 inches of the deck of the bridge so the expansion joints was finished so they two metal plates over the that was about 2 feet wide and you had to have your tires on them. The whole thing was on a curve. I made it back out with one try.
Stay safe and God bless.
@Hello Dan Crafton how are you doing
'round here some anxious local will come out & claim we took out their internet. power is a new one to me!
Really glad to see him get off the railroad tracks!
I missed quite a bite from the last months
Because illness go's were its onto go (no! Its not corona!)
I'm back
And so glad you are still around 💙🤍💛
Gods zegen 🙏
As a professional truck driver I do have GPS but I read map plus I always Google the place and look at the reviews . 90% percent of the time some good drivers leave some best routes to get to your destination. I just learned and learning that GSP can put you in some bad places . Plan your trips it's just like 5 minutes before leaving the shipper or while getting loaded . Best of luck drivers for keeping 🇺🇸 moving 👏👍and God bless you guys all .
Another great Job Ron the 4024 is a great little truck. She may be small, but she's strong & mighty when it counts. Straight Trucks, School Busses, & road tractors her main job, but helps pull on big jobs too, as well as jobs like these. GPS fail number 10,751 lol
That driver did a good job backing over half-a-mile.
A straight line 😂😂
@@BurntPizza180 Can still be hard when stressed, only done it in the simulator but adding some speed and you can quickly have the small corrections go bonkers :)
Yikes, stopped him on the tracks. That scares the junk outta me. Thankfully I know Ron is an observant guy and was aware of everything that was going on. I've been in similar situations being a truck driver (and on OVERSIZE PERMITS no less).
@Hello Jeff how are you doing
Ron.....Without your help, he might never get it out???? You and fellas are very handy!!!!!!
Ron's calm attitude with police saves these drivers fines I think if you total up overweight violations some of these drivers would be buying new cars for local police force
Oops. I just subscribed for the 1st time ever for anyone, not my forte. But I have been watching
you for some time now and just had to. Your knowledge, respect, and Faith in your crew, the Police, Firemen, EMTs does a heart good. Especially in these times.The help and compassion for your customers. Calm and works things out. Solve the problem. With a sense of humor. I enjoy trying to see if my Physics and math are up to Par with a Pro. Umm...I'm kinda Ok. Love it when I do hit the mark. The info you give out is a help to all.
If I was in Missouri, in trouble and needed your kind of help, seeing one of the Petes roll up would
let me know that I would be safe and everything would be OK.
Blessings and the Best to You and Yours
Welcome to the community!!! I hope you continue to enjoy the videos and will become an active participant. Thanks for watching and God bless.
Nice work! Also liked how he backed that combo up that far.
My wife drives for central trucking and she looks at the sat. Images as well as the gps if you do that stuff like this is less likely to happen
Good driver,bad directions. I used to get out and walk when I felt directions were too messed up. You always get" ya jes tern right dere next to duh ...." Or the other one" you can fit, I drive my pickup through there all the time". Rand McNally books was my road"bible" then and GPS is NOT for trucks now.
@@siamsamblue30041 yeah well i got myself stuck in a residential area with a euro semi truck last week because of it and the lack of signs. i checked the place on google maps on satelite view and it looked fine and it was an easy access road on the north side, so i just punched the coordinates in my tomtom and didn't look at the route thinking it was fine. well it wasn't. the block there was brand new and the roads were not on the sat nav yet. it was considering the access road i saw a dirtroad and tried avoiding it through the residential area that didn't had a weight restriction and it should have. all fine and dandy until i got face to face with some of those rising pillars blocking the road and i was literally staring at the client's place. lemme tell you, as hard as it was getting in, it was 10x worse reversing out!
I'm not trying to down anybody but onetime this Swift driver ended up in an orange grove because the gps told him to go in there and plow up some orange trees and get stuck . That's a true story it really happened . The gps showed his destination in the middle of this 65K acre grove in Labelle fl.
Good Day Ron I'd just like to say that you're equipment is top notch and very organized it shows that you and your team are professional and always there to help those in need keeo up the great work and God Bless
Another successful job Ron and the crew.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😄😄😎😎😎🏆🛻🏆🛻
Ive been a driver for 7 yrs...i have made this mistake...it can happen to the best of us
Driver took the blame, backed up like a pro but what really impressed me is he listend to what Ron was saying. I worked for a tow company for almost 4 years and it boggles the mind how people will not listen to the tow truck driver and try to do it their own way regardlees of what type of vehicle it is
Oh Boy. On the route near my home is a busy level crossing that isn't very level. This one''s flat with better vis but it's still concerning getting across those things backwards. Excellent job as always MidWest.
Love how you all work as a team. Stay safe.
Trip planning...trip planning. Always know where you are going before you get there.
Hello Ron famous GPS GOD. BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸 hope everyone on the Road stays safe 🙏🏻
When I drove a truck we didn't have any GPS. We had to call the shipper and receiver from the truck stop and get directions on how to get a truck into the facility. We had to know how to read truck routes using a motor carrier's atlas that had the truck roads highlighted in orange. We never went anywhere not in orange. Times have changed. I still would not trust a GPS in a truck. Better to call for directions. I love Ron's videos.
God bless you Ron (and the whole Midwest Team). You guys should set up a towing academy to teach aspiring newbies as well as veterans that need to upskill their safety and / or professionalism, your youtube videos alone show how competent you are with the equipment at your disposal.
Thanks for the upload. Watching the video now.
Edit: Great Video.
Hello Ron, another video showing top class teamwork of yourself, Kenny and #10 always with safety in mind. Well done to the driver. Thanks for sharing and continue to stay safe 😷
Great video, Ron! Maybe a review of route before each waypoint would be useful so as not to get caught with GPS failure. Either that, how about the programers have a "Big Truck" or "length" option so that anything above certain length would be directed a different way based upon the actual road AND length/width. I wouldn't think it be that difficult since it's just a matter of calculations and adding safety margin. "Hey Google! Get on it!"
I had a GPS with a "Truck" option, it took into account height restrictions, weight restrictions, and "no trucks" signs. It didn't take road curvature into account though, so you still had to be careful with your route planning, but it was a nice way to avoid any low overpass or low weight limit bridge.
A lot of drivers use the GPS that isn't meant for truck drivers, so its calculated for a passenger car. They make them for big trucks but they're a lot more expensive.
He sure can back that big ole truck! Great job!
WOW, the Driver was a Very Long way in the Residential Area. Thank GOD 🙏 for Midwest Trucking.
We've been down these roads before with you Ron!
A good recovery Ron and the driver did a good job of backing up that distance hope you your family and the Midwest crew have a wonderful and safe Labor Day Weekend
Weird color scheme there. And he's from Jacksonville. Where im from. Explains why he followed his GPS.
great job as always Ron!! :-) i normally don't comment about officers...but darn this officer is a cutie!! :-) be safe and keep doing what you do best!! :-)
love watching all your videos here in the channel islands
If I ever got a truck stuck all I’d be thinking is truckin hell 😂
Joshua Hogg getting a big truck stuck in an area that's not supposed to be there especially in a residential area is the most sickening fealing you can have. I've done it once but thankfully I was able to get out without tearing up cars parked on the street with my tail swing. Kudos to this driver for realizing he screwed up and asked for help. This area was way smaller than the one I got myself into.
Ironically "Truckin Hell" is a UK program that follows two of the UKs largest heavy recovery companies!
Sometimes the little things in life take us for quite the journey. Like following our GPS of into a residential area with a 53 foot trailer & a Hazmat load. Big No-No, but sometimes that how we end up. Looked like a load of Corrosives (probably car batteries). Not really an issue as the load did not spill. This driver probably learned more in an afternoon, than he did in weeks of driving. One of the biggest things he sharpened his skills in was the backing up technique. With a little help from Ron & a tug or 2 from Mike, he's back on the road again. Didn't look like he damaged anything as he didn't hit nothing, just got the drives off in the soft shoulder grassy area. Thank God the driver had enough wits about him to call for assistance before he took the electric pole down. That would have created all sorts of issues. We live & learn. I delivered a load out in the Grape Vine of California many years ago. Cafeteria style tables going to a small school. I had to unload off the side of the small highway as there was no room to maneuver on to the school grounds with the 53 foot trailer. Once unloaded, I ended up having to back up the highway at least 10 miles until I found a spot to safely turn around. Some days are days to remember. LOL
One other thing that could be helpful in an uncertain and unfamiliar area is to google earth the area for the feel and width of the road and looking for alternative routes. Keep in mind of unknown bridge clearances, weight limits and other scenarios that might have changed. Always good to have a plan B when possible.
That truck driver got all the straight backing practice in for the day lol lol...awesome of you guys helping out and getting the gentleman out of a pickle.....correct me if I'm wrong but I noticed he had a hazmart load I seen the placard?
Love seeing all kinds of jobs like this one... Your crew shows that your really a top notch company and that shows true by all the leo's and fd having you guys backs... All around a grate team bond.... Way to go to that driver backing the semi and trailer like like for so long...
We all make mistakes.
The issue here is the guy is running a placarded (hazmat) load. He's required to have his route pre-planned. All drivers should do route planning, and using a good truck GPS, and even good street view for checking, but for hazmat, it's law.
Anyhow, nobody hurt, only a couple square yards of grass damaged, so no big deal...
Jeff MacDonald hello, I would bet he was USING A CAR GPS , rather than a TRUCK / BUS ONE Cheers 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great job. By kenny and ron the driver has some great backing skills all is good with ron on the scene very professional. Ron glad you dont get upset or laugh at guys for an honest mistake
Again......ron saves the day.... Great job Ron....your crew is awsame and hope you and family and crew have a great day
noticed he was hauling a corrosive material (according to the placards on the trailer). with that type of load, you should never go through a residential area unless where you are delivering to is in that immediate area, as is the place the driver was headed to.
🇳🇱NL.Good morning in the usa good afternoon in the Netherlands 14.45 great tribute to the driver of the truck that has driven out so neatly from the back.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🍀❤️
Good morning all. Looks like someone should have had an extra ☕️. Happens to the best of people. God bless stay healthy and safe everyone.
I got myself into a spot like that in Wichita, KS. I was making a home delivery of windows (with a century and a 53' trailer. I got out on my own, but man, was I sweating bullets!
Ron I can only agree with what was said by Jay No fancy stuff just a calm attitude throughout must make the persons involved also relaxed NICE to see a rescue not with the rotator.
Same problem in the uk, but it’s was documented once that a crane had to be used to pick the cab and trailer to get it to turned to go back way it came
@Hello Dando how are you doing
When I drove we always worked our route out with the old school maps and truck routes first, and if needed directions from the company we were delivering to, but always had to keep in mind that those directions usually came from a 4 wheeler driver that never had to drive something as large as a full size semi and trailer. There were several times I caught bad directions from office personnel that would have sent me into a residential area with power lines, trees, tight corners and low weight bridges. Thank God I never used those bad directions, lol
Terrific video Ron. You are a professional. I am sure the driver was extremely grateful.
My hat goes off 2 this guy very helpful patient n professional
Love that Lil' Pete. The 4024 is such a compact and versatile package.
A number of drivers have driven into my neighborhood which is really tight. One hit a bit of my truck but it only knocked off a bit of rubber molding that was on the bumper, my truck is old so a little scratch like that was not big. It happened at like 3 am too. Its crazy how they don't realize their mistake as soon as they turn in and see cars lining the road and a sharp-ish turn. The neighborhood lies next to the intersection of two mildly heavy roads and an entrance on both so I am assuming they think they are turning on to the main road. Its crazy how good of drivers they are being able to get out of it. I had to move my truck and another but they were able to get out, which was mighty impressive.
I love seeing the little Pete at work
