I’m only 13 but I’ve wanted to be a tow truck driver because of you I hope one day I can do a job with you
The more I watch this guy's videos, the more I am convinced he has everything imaginable stored in his truck somewhere.
I was just going to say this. I think he has one of EVERYTHING in those boxes on the back of that truck. It is a kind of magic. He said in another video that he had $100K in equipment in the back of that truck. I think that is a conservative estimate.
Swiss army truck 😂
Now I'd be tempted once it was on dry land to take out a measuring tape, measure it for length and tell the guy it was undersize and that I'd have to throw it back.
ROFLLL
Lol. Very good Jim!
Good one... toss it back head first!
LOL . . I was going to say it was a nice catch, how big was the one that got away though ?
Might make good sushi, no?
I appreciate how you take pride in keeping all your hooks painted and your equipment taken care of...very professional Sir
i also noticed that .
Same here
@@donnyj88 I do the same and it does more than just looking good. It makes things easier, cleaner and safer. I don't understand why more guys don't do it, even when I worked for other people I'd keep my gear clean and organized. The last thing you want is to be digging through dirty gear in nice clothes when you get called away from Sunday dinner.
As for safety, organization keeps your time in the kill zone down by not having to dig through your gear on the side of the road. The color codes show weight ratings at a glance and the one thing people overlook is paint helps show cracks. I've seen hooks fail under load and its not pretty or something I'd wish on a enemy. By keeping them clean and painted you'll see a crack 100 times easier than a rusty piece of gear.
I notice it to
not to mention probably the most organized truck iv ever seen and it always stays that way
As a 63F20 in the army I had recovery vehicles from a five ton wrecker up to the M-88 tracked recovery vehicle, and all I can say is I'm very impressed by your talents and equipment. Oh and you should practice catch and release fishing.
You run a tight ship,Ron.I've only watched a few videos so far.From what I've seen,we should have more recovery drivers like you.
A very humble and grateful, thank you. God bless.
I've been driving a commercial truck for over 30 years in Southern California and have seen my share of tows. Ron Pratt is absolutely the best I've ever seen.
yes he is # 1 in my book..
DITTO
Damn i wish i had a boss as polite as Ron ^_^ professional always and full of curtsy with other people. Congratulations on a fantastic job.
"Drives into ditch" please don't damage my car, lol oh man, great video though I love seeing you and talon team up, God bless brother.
i mean there is no need to make it worse then it already is
HRebels Gaming obviously, but if you don’t want to your car damaged whilst recovering it from a creek, then don’t drive it into a creek.
@@huskyvacs if your choices are a deer or down into the creek then I have some good taxidermists I can reccomend for mounting the deer...
Bryan Rose on that road if he was going fast enough to not stop for a deer the damage was deserved
After damage going down in this pit the car's value is less than this service. Terrible choice on the consumer's end.
Usually I'm not a fan of using $750,000 rotators to recover cars, due to the excessive costs involved that must be past onto the client . However, in this case, it was the perfect and only way to recover this car without any further damage. Excellent job. God Bless.
@@ShootLuckGaming Actually, $750K for a truck like ours, fully outfitted, is about right. A 75 ton Miller, fully outfitted, is close to $1 Mil.
@Ron Prattt 32:46 "This is not one of our rollback trucks" Tell the truth Ron, You are in the process of downgrading from a $750K rotor to a $750 exploder. :)
Whatever he gets for a job like this is better than the truck sitting in the shop waiting for a big rig to tow. Some money s better than no money
@@RonPratt that is a chunk of change
I watch a lot of tow truck recoveries and they always seem to have a problem locating their equipment it's not on the truck. But I love watching your videos you're always professional courteous never a bad word comes out of you and you always always know your equipment that on your truck that's the sign of a true professional God bless you and thank you for your videos
I was a a tow truck operator 35 years ago and I'm always amazed at the new equipment of today we did have a large truck with all power hydraulic truck most of our trucks had a holms 750 and 1 Crain carrier but my dad and I built most of the trucks we operated with but its nothing compared to what there is today
This reminds me when I was working for a wrecker service back in 1976 when I was dispatched that a corvette hit a tree and the driver told me not to do any more damage. The car was totaled..
Ron your a prime example of a great American company. The professionalism in which you treat and teach people is to be commended. God bless.
Amen, I hope I taught my kids to be as polite as good as Ron's parents and Talons Parents taught them. It is a pleasure to see true professionals at work!
This is a great company no matter the country
Nothing like doing the "dozen point turn" when you don't have all 40 acres...
It's a downright pleasure to watch someone that's good at what they do, do what they do!
"No damage by us during the recovery" - Gonna be some 50 ton wrecker damage to his wallet when he gets the bill!!!
😂😂😂😂😂
More than 200 bucks
Try 2000 bucks lol
More then that car is worth
What do these really cost tho
I laughed at how you automatically offered a pen to Talon!
You know Ron, most people use a boat and relax while fishing...
Sure, but how many of them catch a Nissan?
Ron needs an electromagnet to fish that with the rotator
Some people will grab a few cold ones and really enjoy it.... personally I prefer to not to drink while on a boat.
I love the head mounted cam, really shows how much your head has to be on a swivel and watching EVERYTHING!
In Missouri, there are guardrails nowhere, and overhead powerlines EVERYWHERE!! 😆
Man, that was one slick recovery!
I've seen so many of Ron's videos that I think I could swamp for him. I know where all his great goes down to the bug spray. Painted snatch blocks look great!! Thanks for posing these!
Cost of rotator upwards of $750K but all of supplies needed for a recovery,priceless. Now I know what those metal tubes are used for. Learned something new today. Job well done, again Ron and Talon.
thank you for showing in full. We often see the likes of "Highway thru Hell", but I do realise that its edited down to fit a time slot format. Watching your work truly shows how involved recovery is.
People Drive in the weirdest places these days... I never thought to drive down a Creek !!! Less Traffic that's for sure...
ACE RECOVERY! Love seeing you and your son work together. Quite the dynamic and makes me think of my dad and I working on projects together. Great work gentlemen! Your professionalism and courtesy to others (including your own son - and vice versa) gives me the warm fuzzies every time.
Talon is Ron's Daughter's boyfriend.
Talon is Ron’s daughter’s husband. They have been married quite a while
Wow! I'm a Truck driver too in EU but i like it. Everytime something new! Good job! That care about your car and equipments made me happy! God bless u guys!
I love how well u work with your employee's nice to see that every time I watch your videos thank u for being a great boss
Full respect... in both directions.
I was thinking the same thing.
Not just to the employees but Ron's crew all show respect to first responders.. The Police and Fire crews all more then willing to help shovel where needed to clean up.. As Ron's crew is always there to give a helping hand with the first responders when/where needed.... Love seeing Rons crew show the respect to everyone.... Now the guy in the white truck that was driving fast threw the recovery sight needs a lesson or two taught as folks like them gets the first responders killed doing there job on the side of the road.
Ron shows the difference between a boss and a leader..
you are so lucky, when i go fishing the best thing i might get is a fish :(
"Special chains", very clever ! Love watching these videos ! I have now spent my Entire Saturday watching these videos, and it is a clear day out !! Darn.
Hi Ron, you do a great service for the people in MO.! Love your 1150R and all the specialty tools you have added to make the job easier. A True Professional.!!
You are the best equipped, most organized operator I have witnessed.
Hey Ron, this is why they call you a professional.... Great job on taking care of that beautiful sports car.. I tip my hat and bow to you sir.
Your attention to detail is amazing. You never miss a thing. You rock sir. Talon seems like a good hand.
I like watching professionals that enjoy their jobs. You are a vanishing breed
This is nothing a person can't do if you have the right equipment. Excellent job.
Talon is NOT allergic to work !!! He'll stand next to anyone infected with workaholism, and it wont bother Him a bit !!. Super nice damridge free recovery... Nice work Fellas, Cheers !!***.
lol. I've been telling my boss I'm allergic to work for years. Another nicely done recovery.
Ron,
You are a kind soul.
You could have turned without help, though you accepted it gracefully. I did see the sync between you and the helper-- he signaled STOP at the exact moment you changed gears. Stuff like that tickles me. Great.
I love how much respect the Scott city sheriff police and state Troopers have for you
Wow...that was a big CARp!!!

2nd best comment out of over 1000 plus comments
Your preparedness and organization is inspirational.
Just started watching these videos. I've done towing for years, some recovery, mostly insurance wrecks after the fact for insurance auctions. Impressed with the equipment and hats off for the operators doing the dirty work. He asks for prayers for the accident victims but prayers for the operators too, they have dangerous job and bad weather increases the danger.
Now there's a guy who has all the equipment, keeps it in good order and knows exactly how to use it. As always with Ron's videos, very professional and neatly done, along with an explanation to his sidekick of what's happening..
Love seeing the rotator in motion and how you line it up but can't stand the sound if it's moving for a long time over 2-3 minutes
You and Talon make a damn good team with excellent communication and upmost professionalism. Definitely enjoy the Talon-cam.
I was thinking he didnt do the 3 toots at 3:15, then the answer popped up, perfect timing! I Really enjoy your videos!
Ron my buddy you are a true artist when it comes to something needed gentle touch and lifting !!!! In two days i saw several videos from which i can certainly tell how good you are with your crew , how well you organize everything , how responsible you are and your experience seems to have no freaking limitation . First time i saw someone using "battery box" :)
God bless you !!!!
those daggum power lines are always in the best spots for yall lol
His "Arc" Nemesis....lol
Alway make sure that you come off the road under a power line. Works for me.
They hear he is coming and they jump outta holes, hop over, jump up n down to make a hole to plant themselves just to make him work extra ....
Arc nemesis + water + metal cables and hooka + crane = High raise shocking electrifying work! Well done Mr Pratt.
I like how precise your movements are. Unlike other recovery companies want to be. Great job!
Ron Pratt you are absolutely the best God bless you
One thing I did notice - Your truck is always so darn shiny. Any number of other companies and you'll see rusty rims and wheel lifts, dirt and grease everywhere. It's nice to see someone treat their equipment right - like fire trucks. Always clean and in good working order.
For example with Hill Auto and Towing channel he lives in a salty environment so his trucks look as they do from that main reason alone, aside from he is so busy with more than his work.
clearly an ex mustang owner trying to drift a nissan o.o
Excellent job on the recovery
what did u catch today a 20 pound flathead
well i caught a 350z
Ron you are a true professional and you can tell you take pride in your work wish there was more people in the world like yourself. I drive truck I got my class A CDL and would love to get into towing and recovery seems like everyday it's something different.
It's nice to see family work together.True winners in my book.
That was like watching the Titanic turned around in a bathtub LOL
Talon and Ron doing rock/paper/scissors to decide who was going into the ditch......🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
More like "Rock, paper, scissors, I'm the boss get in the water Talon..." 😂😂😂
Talon chuckeld when that guy stopped and said to the other guy "well ya didn't have to floor it... Man..." Lmfao.
Man I like ole talon , respectful and respectable young man .
When that tag line was put on the wheel I thought...hey look a 2 ton kite lol. Nice job Ron and Talon very professional!
Lol
Talon is just so "Talonted"
Also would love to see more Talon Cam
you are the most patient father I know !! Good on you !! Greetings from Australia
Beautiful Job Ron. Recall a car went down less steep hill. We drove down the hill, dad had me lower the sling and hook the axles (Old way of towing). Traffic on two lane highway was full. Got back in truck to get out looking for opening in traffic, dad said why is this thing pulling so hard. Looked back and cement culvert was under middle of car and flipped it sideways pulling up hill. Embarrassing, we got out fast push it over and got out. Your Wrecker is awesome and so well organized!
This is my first time watching your channel, very interesting stuff! Also, my goodness you've got a nice truck.
Good to see Talon, he has been MIA too long.
He has been avoiding the boss, at least on camera. :-)
All credit to you yet again Ron - ensuring that road was closed only for such a short time is remarkable. If that had been here in the UK, the road would have been closed for hours and the power would likely have been switched off. You remain an absolute gentleman, and it is a pleasure to watch you work.
"no damage done by us during the recovery" well.. I mean, except for Talon smacking a chain into the rear of the car xD
Great video, really enjoy the explanations/annotations added for some more insight.
He does it to satiate those who may question if he did not have those subtitle notes edited in, it helps for sure, as I been watching his channel nearly since the beginning and answer other common questions.
That driver must really care about damage paying for that truck for an hour.
you are not likely to see change of 500 per damaged panel, plus any damage underneath... even a k or 2 for the rotator could be the cheap option compared to dragging it up the bank with a winch and ripping panels and stuff
Hey Ron and Team
True professionals and a True gentleman great show excellent safety
Ohms
I have no idea *why* this popped up in my recommended but i couldn't help but watch every minute of this lol
You could tell just by looking that that was not one of Ron's roll backs. His equipment is always in top notch shape.
Looks like you have some crazy looking fish down there in Missouri!
Wait till you see the mosquitos....
@@xheralt mopeds?
Maybe next time he'll know....just call Ron in the first place!
I like that long hair guy . He's a good dude, he has a rollback and we used him for delivering cargo containers to our job sites . I see him all the cape and jackson area .
Dude drives his car into a creek in a ravine and asks how you're not going to tear it up. Classic.
'
Great to see Talon back in the saddle , Ron another great video from you always look to see if you have a new one God bless you guys
Drives into creek bed... worries about damage during recovery = high performance car/low performance driver.
BILL Pee not even a high performance car lol
i mean there is no need to make it worse then it already is
That Nissan is nothing more than an old rehabilitated Datsun!
@@Chromedome38 It is still more advanced and refined then 99,9% of all American cars !!
@@Chromedome38 I take it you've driven one, they're fun especially the convertible, not a supercar by any stretch but fast enough and again fun to drive.
Great example of how versatile the Rotator is. Pick up a car ? sure I can do that with 1 line! Excellent video as always
Easy Peasy!... Bada Bing Bada Bong! ...Easier 'n fallin' off a log and not near as dangerous!
Great to see father-in-law and son-in-law working heavy equipment together! Very interesting video as always, Ron! Your videos are better than television ANY day!

What kind of bait do you use for cars? 😂
I think he uses a lure with rather than bait.
Fifty gallon drums of racing gas and/or performance parts!
Talon ... haha
Ice
@@888johnmac
Just thankful Talon was not allergic to the bug spray lol
Ron..as an audiologist , the loud high pitch beeping sound your lift makes , over the years of doing that will significantly damage your hearing. Hearing smoke detectors , doorbells , and other high pitch noises will be much harder to hear. Wearing ear protection will shut much of that bad noise out , but still allow you to hear people talk. Take care of those things on each side of your head. You need them.
RON.... THANKS FOR YOUR HONESTY AND CARING. I WATCHED OTHER TOWING TAPES AND NOT TO SAY THEY DO NOT GET THE JOB DONE. BUT THAT THE WAY THEY GO ABOUT IT IS SO VERY DANGEROUS. WHEN I DID TOWING BACK IN THE ...... WELL A LONG TIME AGO. WE ALWAYS HELPED THE CUSTOMER ANYWAY WE COULD. JUST A KIND WORD AND RESPECT GOES A LONG WAY. LOVE THE WAY YOU TALK TO LAW ENFORCEMENT AND OR CIVILIANS. GREAT JOB ALL AROUND. GOD BLESS.
Man this be pretty cool to work in. I work as a flatbed truck driver for my pops. Everytime I go into a construction site and they got them big cranes to pick up the cargo off my trailer. Always so cool to see it
Glad to see you back Talon .
"Gimme 40 acres and I'll turn this truck around..."
So many parts to this puzzle. My lil brother's friends family own a service here in Indiana, he has helped with recovery's and boy the semi's can be a lot. Prayers go out to you and your crew for safe recovery's. I Enjoy your channel.
The amount of care you both took to keep the vehicle from further damage was great. Thanks for sharing.
Dude.. that is one tall rollback. He's gonna need you again to get that low slung car off that horse. haha.
I think that's a hook lift bed, So the entire flatbed will extend off the back, and damn near sit flat on the ground. Most of the time you can tell a hook lift bed because they have gap between the headache rack and the cab.
@Calvin H. Actually, that truck is just a tall rollback/tilt deck truck. It is not a hook lift. The gentleman that owns it has been to our shop to pick up wrecked vehicles before, so I have seen him operate it. Thanks and God bless.
Ron, That's cool. thank's for the reply, And Rob was right, he may need you to lift that car off of there for him, lol. Or he needs some 6x6 boards with some ramps.. lol. I hope you have a great weekend..
This car is never coming off that truck without ramps,wood blocks and alot of finness lol. I drive a low deck rollback and 350z's are already a thight fit on my truck I can't imagine on this one!
I bet that rollback is a 4x4
Talon, I AGREE to the allergic to work comment. Lol
Really nice job i worked for road call in nv when I was living there
But now
Living on the wester slope / Colorado
I have had the privilege of seeing a few recovery’s I just had to say very nice work
My boys (6 and 4) and I love watching your videos. Keep it up!
You have an awesome piece of technology packed machine!!
But who the hell drifts a 350z to the river, later he’s gonna sell it to cover towing charge..
Oh by the way get some WADERS if happens to another car ends up in a river..
SpartanX360
You’re in flood area plenty with the rivers there.... I’d probably be living it waiters during the rain season.... if I worked outside.
Look like someone was in a hurry to go fishin
Ron pratt surely has the patience for this job, a good hard working American!
Great Job Ron. Your truck is well equipped to handle anything from the look of things. That remote is the ticket to keep things safe while you operate the boom and winches with the best view. of the task at hand. Be Safe.
That was a clean z by the looks of it
Wasnt a hr
@@dill5500 true but it was still clean
17:05 “ cut it out loud mouth” had me dying 😂
17:03
17:04.25
Talon was really good about getting in the water and hooking up Is great recovery job well done
Yet again, another good job completed with your usual professionalism, I only wish that when I had the misfortune that my car broke down and needed recovering earlier this year, the recovery agent had the same mind set as you Ron, all I got back was a damaged car, and my front dash cam stolen
