- Опубліковано 8 гру 2024
- Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!!! Today, the crew gets another opportunity to test out our new 2024 Western Star 49X with a Miller Industries, Century 9055XL. The 9055XL is a 50 ton integrated (non-rotating) 3-stage boom. The XL is for Extra Long reach and has the same capacity as the standard 50T 3-stage. A customer calls us to tow one of their trucks off the interstate ramp after it went into "limp" mode. This is just a standard, everyday tow, but many viewers have asked for this type of video. So, I use the new Western Star 9055XL and I show off the new Feniex lighting package with the ability to switch between red & blue lights while on the shoulder to amber lights for towing. I also play around with a new camera mount for some different video shots. Hope you enjoy them. So far, I am loving this truck and what it can do!!! Thank you, God, for blessing our family and our business. Watch as we continue to receive God's blessings. There is much more to come!!! I hope you enjoy this video!!!
We have a difficult and dangerous job and we take it very seriously, that doesn't mean we can't have fun and enjoy our work. We strive to be polite, professional, efficient, and safe...and still can have fun. 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!!!

Who else loves Ron Pratt?
Like I said last week, his wife
I watch it weekly, but when ever I see a crazy video like the day Ron got called out to pick up the service truck, pick up truck and trailer then also a car in a ditch.. My gaming friend watches that with me.
This guy!
Mrs Pratt
I've been driving commercially and operating heavy equipment since 1987. I've only been doing towing for 6 years and absolutely love it. I drive a peterbilt 379 with a 50 ton Miller wrecker. I discovered Ron's channel about 7 months ago and have learned a whole lot of tricks and tips. I wish I lived in his city I would stop by to put in an application. He's a very good teacher. I'm 59 and never too old to learn.
Good morning Ron! Turning around in that area is dangerous, but being under the truck pulling the driveshaft on the side of the ramp is also dangerous! One of those options is dangerous for a shorter period of time so I would say you made the better decision. Good work!
well said! I couldn't agree more! It most def comes down to which is safer in the long-run?
@@corycollierrather have damage to vehicles than humans
Ron pulls off a three point reversal in a truck faster than most people can do one in a car. Well executed!
I think it's safe to say ron makes a LOT of stuff look easy and simple.
@@corycollierthe man is talented in his work that’s for sure!
One of the best towmen I’ve ever watched work God Bless him 👍🏼👍🏼👊🏼
Meh. I was hoping we were going to get a demo of how to do a j turn in a bobtail rig.
👍 Rear cam is like sitting in the bed of a pickup truck just watching the action behind the scenes. 👍👍 Front bumper cam is like surfing the wind & taking in all the beautiful scenery!
I really like the back view..😅
The cam ,, great video view also ...😅
Think new camera view was cool think a view from the rear of the western star along with the rear view from the breakdown would also be cool like Picture in Picture saw similar video last year it was not recovery but as I was watching your video it popped into my head again just a thought Ron loving the videos stay safe !
Most people that criticize know nothing about towing and recovery.
so his hook up changes is not a problem? what about the poivit point?
Yup im dealing wit that now at work
You took a calculated action based on your years of experience no one can fault you for that ❤❤❤
Love the new western star. The new camera view is also nice. Having videos by Ron on Fridays are a great start to the day. God Bless!
25:33 light bar, secure steering wheel, final check (walk around).
I got it. 😜
Great job Ron! Don’t worry about the haters. Most of them have never, and could never do what we do.
This is the real world and sometimes you have to take calculated risks.
I’ve found long driving scenes don’t hold the audiences attention, I’d try shorter highlights of the trip, if there are particular land marks, or scenic views.
Just my experience from my channel.
@@Towtruck_Dustin Regarding that, I *Love* when the drive is kept in, i know its not most peoples bread and butter but i absolutely love it.
@@arkthefennecfox2366Me too. I’m watching from Australia 🇦🇺 and I love seeing the countryside as Ron heads to Jobs❤❤❤❤
As a tow truck driver from the 1970's I LOVE seeing the advancements in equipment and processes. The following camera adds to your already interesting collection of angles and views. thanks for your efforts.
I feel the same way. I was in the industry 'till I sold out in'89.
It's called a tow company for a reason. And I believe that seeing what people do day-to-day is more interesting than just the sensational stuff.
I love that you asked your viewers if we had a good ride.
You took a chance. Not a big deal. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. As long as you're not making a habit of it (which you don't), it shouldn't matter.
I don't care what people say about your videos. I think that you & your whole team are awesome. I appreciate the hard work and dedication that y'all put in.
The rear camera brought back memories sitting in the back of the station wagon when I was a kid
Or the bed of a pickup, which you can't [legally] do any more in many places. A great loss to society imo.
World's best backwards driver.
That's what I was thinking. I could never do that.
Great job 😅pops
Great job 😅 pops
Tator style 😊
It is crazy how he can back for a country mile on some of them dirt roads.... BTW Ron love the new back view cam as you drive.
Keep up the good work Ron and team god bless love watching you on UA-cam god bless
Rear tow view was pretty cool . It may be a pretty useful addition in case someone drives into you while towing. It could be helpful determining fault. Good luck with your new sled
Keep up the awesome work you and your awesome team do, btw the move in the freight shaker was a calculated risk that was performed as safely as possible given the environment
love the new western star but we need to see the tator and the big star on a job together…
Coming soon to a video near you...LOL. Thanks for watching and God bless.
@@RonPratti know you can not control the jobs you get but that would be amazing to get both the big trucks out together.
I agree the tator is a beast of a truck
That was an interesting view. I'll admit. I'm glad everyone is doing ok down there, Ron. That kind of sucks but you can only do so much.
That would be one H€!! of a mess up, to need both of them. Would hate to see what that looks like.
I like the rear tow view
I Like the way you train us (me anyway) Ron... You can train me any day... Also like the way you quiz us too...!!! Three things to check...I got em. 1. Light bar in the back and checked if working properly, 2. secure the steering wheel under the seat at the bottom base of the seat, (because of air ride seats )3. Walk around... windows are up, Hookups are good & secure, tie down chains are good, breakaways are in place & fastened, both axils are chained up, Driver's side door shut, hood latched both sides, light bar secured and on, wind fairing secure, axils chained up on passenger side. Ready to go... Like the new rear tow view & ride too...!!!
Love the new truck. You had just bought the "Tator" when I first started watching you. Criticism is just a spit in the ocean compared to all the good you do. I'd like to ask those people what they would do in the same situation! Thank you for sharing.
Mr Ron Love the new Western Star and the video. Thanks for sharing and stay safe
I like the whole thing from start to finish
Ron you are perfectly normal. Yes I also like Mater he made me laugh at what he said and did but reminded me of Me on certain days. You never cease to make me proud of what I used to do when I did Towing.
who know its going to be good when the dad jokes start
also merch idea, Here we Tow Again with the wester start
Front Bumper Cam can stay, permanently. Prefer this than the rear cam. G'day from Perth Australia.
Wind sock is working Ron...!
Ron I think you and your crew are awesome I love all your videos come up the great work and may God bless and watch over you all.
I watch Ron for many many years I know the steps he does, I started watching Pepes towing I always say thats now how Ron does it
Smart idea to turn the truck around, loved the camera view from the towed semi.
Ron, I've watched a lot of them here on utube, and you've got'em all beat! In safety, efficiently, timely, all without cussin'! Love watching you. Thanks for posting it.. Ed Pattison, Midwest City, Ok.....Love the rear view too!
Great Job again Ron. Thank you for the great videos. Awesome Rear View Camera. Stay Safe and Gods Blessings
Love the new truck! Great video!
As a 12 year veteran of the fire service, I know emergency lighting can be a big part of scene safety, with the new feniex lighting, I recommend looking up the NFPA standard for emergency lighting and other studies. Those studies show slower and fuller light patterns when on scene are safer because they don’t have a “sense of urgency”. Slower light patterns are “calmer” to the human eye.
Fast and random patterns are get for attention getting when responding, but once on scene a slower, calmer pattern is better. There is a effect known as the bug zapper effect, essentially it’s when you have quick lighting patterns, other motorist get distracted by them and loose focus on the roadway, sometimes resulting in a secondary accident.
For example your current feniex lightbars are set to, what Feniex calls their “Attack” pattern. It’s excellent for response but once on scene they also have patterns were the 60in lightbar will alternate half and half. I’m not sure how this truck is wired, but it’s fairly easy to change the patterns. UA-cam will have videos on the light patterns Feniex offers. It’s hard to explain, but I highly recommend reading the studies out there on emergency lights.
I know this is a long comment, but very helpful! Stay safe Ron!
Loved the out back view. Memories of riding in my uncle's old Buick station wagon. Kids rode facing backwards😊
Memories of when we used to ride in the back of the pickup. Something that is now rightfully considered a bad thing to do. Of course I also used to ride in the horse trailer when we had a horse that didn't trailer well.
Like the new camera view. Plus it like a rear dash cam just in case someone hit the truck in tow. Love what you put up. I look at it this way. If you put one up I don’t like I can always stop and go to another one. Thanks for posting.
I like the "day to day operations" videos like this, because you know no one got hurt or injured, Just simple tows of vehicles that broke down.
Even simple tows require thinking thru what is going to get done.
The rear facing camera brought back memories of the old Ford station wagon on a family trip. Ahh the good old days.
Great work, nice camera shots, and cool U-turn on the on ramp.
I like the Bumper Cams. They give a panoramic view of the area you're in when driving.
The camera's rear was excellent.The view of the front of the truck was excellent.I just like all the scenery and the great work you do god bless
Hi Ron.I've been heavy equipment tech for 30 years now .sometimes you have to do what you have to go get the job done..experience is the best judge..love your work ethic and the way you treat your guys..we need more guys like you..keep up the great work and be safe..
The Rear View Camara was very interesting. Your professionalism is always fun to watch.
I realy enjoy watching a real pro work. I can tell that you enjoy your work, and working that shiny new rig! Thanks for sharing.
Great video Ron!! Love the new videos with the New Western Star! Also that rear tow video was nice!!! You should do it more offen!
That was a cool view sir, hope to more like that.
ur doing a good job ron
I'd love to see #11 and #18 setting side by side.. what a pair!!!!😮😅
Windsock, thumbs up, rear timelapse cam, thumbs up, "normal day job" video, thumbs up! That windsock made a *significant* difference in the wind noise! Having long stays in Kansas I know how impossible the wind is to deal with on phones/mics/etc, so I'm impressed!
Love the new rear camera me and my husband watch your channel your the best tow channel we like how you explain everything instead of being quiet
Ron I watch these videos to actually learn a thing or two, I can tell you actually love what you do. We both have the same sense of humor too. 😅
Ron is having a "to heck with it" kind of day, lol. First, backing down the ramp, then backing up the ramp.
If I ever want to quit my job and be able to move to the midwest where young people can actually afford houses, I believe Ron has been secretly training me on how to be a tow truck operator. I could help pick and move things for him when he uses the rotator.
Love your new Western Star. You are in a blessed mode. Spring Fever maybe? We watch you all the time. We live in Maine.
😅The rear tow view is great. It's also good for you, because if anything happens behind you you have a video record of it.
The day-to-day stuff is the life stuff. I think a lot of us just like to see what you do on a regular basis. Some people may think it's tedious and boring, but I think many of us do not feel that way.
THANK YOU RON FOR ALL THE NICE, EDUCATIONAL VIDEOS THAT YOU PUT OUT....GOD BLESS...BE SAFE
Great BACK CAM ride enjoyed the view hope to see more towing and recovers videos GOD BLESS THE TOWING COMMUNITY!!!
Love the rear cam. And we would never critique the way you tow. I watch and learn. Thank you for what you do.
Great service, although there are risks, but you can see the total security and professionalism. God blesses.
Hi Ron, love the new WEstern Star, the new rear tow and front bumper cams were great. The haters and critisizers couldn't do the job you do. God Bless you, your family and your crew, you always do your best to do each job safely.
i like the new camera angles good job
I personally enjoy the day today, and I love the view at the back of the truck you were hauling. I thought it was pretty cool. Keep up the good work.
I love how you do your Towing work and I also love watching your videos and I really enjoys watching them. Please stay safe and keep up the awesome work you do.
Hi Ron, it's great seeing more of the day to day towing/recovery work, and after all, that is what the business is about. The new truck is great, and it takes a bit of time to get used to new items and features. Keep up the great work 👍
First of all it’s your company so the way you do it is the company way and correct. If it turns out not to be correct guess who’s responsible. Second various camera view is always welcome and lastly paying the bills is always the right way to do business. Great work as always.
Thanks Ron I enjoyed the video and the scenery. Years ago, I managed a hardware store, and one of the suppliers we bought from was Orgill Brothers.
What's life without some criticism in it Ron. I think we all get criticized from time to time but that's life and we only need to keep Our Father up high and happy my friend. God Bless you guys.
@Ron Pratt
Good Friday morning!
Thank you for another great video, Ron.
I enjoy the new views -- riding through the beautiful countryside is very relaxing. But I don't want to diminish the value and enjoyment of riding with you as you share with us.
On taking chances: the ones that scare me are the ones (from other channels) where they are NOT EVEN AWARE of the chance they are taking! 😳
God bless, and thanks again, Ron.
Ron that view was good!! And you explain everything very well!! God bless you and your family
do like the day to day stuff, like to see the safety measures and care you take for other peoples property. customer's truck looked good and clean.
That was cool
Ron, I personally don't care what you show, because you and the MidWest Team are out there saving vehicles and people that could be in a wreck. ❤❤❤❤
Those who can, do, and those who can't, criticize. That was a pretty slick move, Mr. Pratt!! Enjoyed the vid!
Ron,
I'm not a truck driver, but you did the right thing to turn that tractor unit around.
Blessings on you and your family, and have a blessed Christmas and a happy New year
Your fellow brother in Christ

Love the tow view camera. Proves that people following you think that because you stopped at the t-intersection when turning left they are entitled to follow right behind you without stopping at all. Be safe and thanks for taking us along. God bless!
Thanks for sharing. You make everything look soo easy. I realize it's years of knowing what you're doing.🎉❤ Again thanks for sharing!!
Honestly Ron, you have done an impressive job with the turnaround. Even before you commented on it, I was able to see your thinking of getting into full line of sight with the traffic before starting the turn to your advantage and warning them as well. The time it took you to whip that truck around that tiny spot was absolutely insane.
I believe you made the best decision for the the situation you were presented with.
Great video of a routine tow. Great new angle. Keep em coming.
May God bless you and your team every day.
Just ignore the people that criticize. They don’t realize what you have to do and how you have to be safe. I enjoy watching you because of the way you talk about your workers and work well with them and explain everything you do and while you’re doing it.
Light bar , tie down the string wheel. And walk around. Love your videos Ron keep up the great work 😊
That view from the back was cool I liked it
Rear tow view was great. Love the music with it.
Love Camera position
The ordinary day to day stuff is what brought me to your channel a few years ago. I watch pretty much everything you post, though. Thank you for the content, and stay safe out there.
I liked the Rear View Cam. Reminded me of riding in the back of my dads pickup back in the 80's. Just watching the scenery pass you by. Ahhhh, to be a kid again.
I think the word you were looking for to describe your retractable straps used for securing the steering wheel to the seat might be "consumables."
Thank you once again for your interesting video clips; I have enjoyed watching them for years. Just to let you know that as a Christian myself, you and your "customers", family and friends are daily in my prayers. May God bless you all and keep you safe doing what I consider is His work.
Thanks for the fun always very much like the channel 🤗👍👍👍👍👍🙏
I love the way you explain what you are doing. I also love the way you spoke to the camera after the rear view cam, made me chuckle way more than I expected.
life is not always safe. Sometimes you have to do what you have to do to make the job easier and get out of harms way faster.
The camera view was awesome ❤ it... it reminds me of riding in the back of the old station wagon lol 😊, WOW AM I REALLY THAT OLD😊 😂 now those were the days!!! 😊... thank you for that rear view memory... please keep those in your videos, thank you & GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY, & may you all stay safe!!!
Great view of the journey home … 👍👍👍👍👍
Loved the rear view tow thank you Ron.
I can't believe it's been over 7 years since I started to look your videos because of my son when he was 7YO now that he is 14 I am the lonely watcher as I found very interesting your videos, Greetings from Tijuana México
New western star is amazing piece of equipment. I love the rear tow and you can see what the people thinking when behind you. And I also like the front tow, I can see more than in the cot pit . Have a nice day and God bless.
Brand new rotator, routine recovery, love the testimony at the end, well done brother, Praise the Lord Amen🥰👏👏👏🙏🇬🇧
Always nice to see where you been . Sometimes better than seeing where you are going. Lol
The big jobs are exciting, but to see you take joy in the “bread and butter” work is great. Good example of using the gifts and skill set God gave you for His glory! And if you are taking a poll, I prefer the front bumper view over the rear facing. Both are good, but that’s my preference. Thanks, Ron. God Bless!!
I love both views. That truck is awesome Ron.
The rear view cam is absolutely awesome loved it thank you for the great views. May God bless and keep everyone safe. God bless.
RON,THAT WAS A GREAT IDEA.!!!😊😊😊🎉❤
