- Introducing Dalton to our team. In this episode I'm training Dalton in unit #17 our Peterbilt 579 road tractor and our trailer T-1 a Trail-Eze TE801 float, ramp, super-tilt, trailer as it may be know in various parts of the world. We go to rescue a stranded driver from a HEATED situation....His brakes or wheel bearings heat up and lock up on a Hazardous Materials (HazMat) bulk tank filled with Propane. Thankfully the driver stopped before things reached the combustion point. Talk about an "explosive" situation! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

Working with boss at first is always nerve racking at first. He’s going to get better. Great patience.
I have always been impressed with Ron's emphasis on Safety, Organization, and Cleanliness. This video also demonstrates his skills as a teacher. He does a great job of explaining; What to do, while Demonstrating, stating Why he does the task this way to show relevance. Ron has great Patience with his student and constantly gives Encouragement while anticipating questions students may be reluctant to ask. Strong respect to you, Ron.
U deserve the likes Ross, great comment!
Thank you very much. God bless.
Never about speed, definitely shows the secret is proficiency and efficiency
I agree.
That's true. I found when I learn something new if you show me why you do it instead of just how to do it I have a tendency to learn faster and retain the knowledge.
As a former Head Safety Officer here in Sweden for a large motor vehicle manufacturer I saw one sequence in the vid that scared me and that was around the 27:30 min mark onwards a bit when Dalton was doing the tie-down on the left (drivers side) front and he was standing and also down on his haunches close to the side of the bed with his back to the road. If he had lost his balance the slightest he may have fallen backwards into the line of traffic. I would have preferred it if he was working from the middle facing outwards to the road. This especially when one is new and totally inexperienced, that is when most accidents happen on the workplace. The worse thing is to have to phone the spouse or nearest relative with bad news if there is an accident. Besides that, I think he did a great job and it is thanks to Rons calm, informative and encouraging instructions. You guys ROCK 😎
I don't have any of the experience you have but I noticed that and thought yikes.
Yes that kind of work is very risky. I think Ron had said in a old video that the country has 1 tow truck driver a month get killed on the side of the road... Bit more dangerous then being a cop..... Scary though as that is for there safety... Ron had mentioned the stats, I think in a "slow down, move over." vid.......
40 years as a flat, step, and lowboy operator...on one's knees is the safest...4 points of contact. If someone rear ends the rig, better chance to curl and roll, rather the standing or bending over. In any scenario you will become airborne. Any time spent roadside is a bad gamble.
Thanks for high speed drive to site. Good compromise between those who want to see the whole project and those who just want to cut to the chase and see you set up, rig up, and lift.
Ron you truly are a beautiful soul. I really like how patient you are when training, not putting too much pressure on your workers. Such a wonderful job. 😊
Always fun watching newbies struggle. But with a good leader/teacher they can become great at the job.
Always fun watching the newbies learn! :)
Prevent back injuries. Make the new guy do it!
25:24 In the field, everything is a hammer!
I hope Dalton takes the time to look through all your previous videos, Ron, they are very helpful for showing procedure and safety. It might help Dalton as well to have someone walk through tool identification and use as well. I hope the man does well. We need good recovery teams out there.
A perfect "first week on the job" for the new personal to have to sit and take notes from his video's, then Monday the safety test.......
@@jonathanbair523 that would be a good way to do it!
Good job
Though this video seemed a little odd at first, Ron without the rotator, still a good thing considering we got to see the new guy, Dalton, being taught the correct way how to load, secure, and haul the broke down vehicle, luckily I had some great teachers back when I was young and I learned to do the job correctly, and a teacher who explains how, what, and why something is done is an awesome teacher, keep with it Dalton, Ron is one of the best, everyone be safe, God bless, go home in one piece, and watch out for motorcyclists, little kids, critters, and little old ladies going to Bingo
Didn't see Dalton once be distracted by his phone. That's one of the largest problems with new hires recently. Good Luck Dalton!
No phone policy should be self explainatory in this field of work. Should....
Ron, I really truly enjoy all of your videos, I have watched a lot of different towing /recovery videos from other channels, and they don't seem as safe/by the book safety as every one of your videos, I also like how you explain every step of what you do, and treat us, just like part of your family, and we think of your family as part of our families as well!! Be careful/safe every single day God bless you, Ron/family!!! It's better to be extra safe, than deadly sorry!!!
Dalton couldn’t have a better teacher, getting the safety message drilled into your head keeps you and your fellow work mates alive, great video Ron, see you next Friday, 👍👍🇺🇸🇬🇧🪝.
Amen
KURTBEY
Ron, you are so patient and such a wonderful teacher. It makes such a difference when a teacher's goal is to have your student (apprentice) become as good and hopefully better than you. Looks like Dalton is a keeper. I can't imagine having my first day on the job being on video for the world to critique but he handled it.
Brilliant demonstration of hands on training, with the "this is why we do it this way". Can't beat learning the hard way. Also excellent customer management. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Concur in all your comments. Thanks Ron for the instrutions.
Dalton, IMO you have one of the best instructors that I've ever seen. Pay attention to what he says and does and you will learn fast enough. :-)
Welcome Dalton. It is always fun to watch the difference between a master and apprentice. You have a great teacher Dalton, and with time you will master it as well.
Mr. Pratt you are a kind man and a great teacher. Great to watch you teach someone and learn how to be a person that can keep calm and just teach. Thanks for all you and your hard working crew does. Stay Safe
Dalton is lucky, he has you, Mr Pratt, as an instructor and mentor. He is in good hands and, providing he pays attention, he'll make an outstanding member of your team.
Mr. Pratt, I am impressed with the patience you demonstrated while teaching Dalton the ropes.
New guy: place cones
Everybody: NOT LIKE THAT!!!!!
New guy: moves cones
Everybody: NOT LIKE THAT EITHER!!!!
❤you got this Dalton.
I love it when Ron teaches he has patience and he is always willing to help new employees and he does the best at what does as an operator and a teacher Keep up the good work Ron and may God bless you with everything you doing
Ron, I started watching your recoveries a month or two ago, and I wanted to tell you that I appreciate the way you run your business! You do “The right thing” meaning treating the customer the way you want to be treated! Your videos are always CLEAN, No Cussing by anyone! It is a pleasure watching you work! God Bless You!
I used to watch "The New Yankee Workshop" and can remember one of Norm's favourite sayings - "You can never have too many clamps". Substitute "Chains and binders" for "Clamps" and you've got today's video summed up exactly. All good wishes to Dalton as he starts his new job. Thanks for the video from Leicestershire in the UK.
Norm Abrams, Bob Ross, Bob Vila, and Yan Can Cook were my weekend role models as a young man, and I am right with you.
Before we use any [equipment], let's take a moment to talk about [towing] safety. Be sure to read, understand, and follow all the safety rules that come with your [equipment and from your instructor]. Knowing how to use your [equipment] properly will greatly reduce the risk of personal injury. And remember this, there is no more important safety rule than to wear [this]: [high-vis clothing]!
And for those who want the original version...
Before we use any power tools, let's take a moment to talk about shop safety. Be sure to read, understand, and follow all the safety rules that come with your power tools. Knowing how to use your power tools properly will greatly reduce the risk of personal injury. And remember this, there is no more important safety rule than to wear these: safety glasses!
@@neonhomer Even better than mine! Love it!
When it come to a HAZ-MAT load, moreis better and safety is always JOB#1. GOOD job Ron and your a excellent teacher. I watched quite a few of your
Videos and some more then once. Keep it up and stay safe out there.
I'd like to see how you repair that equipment too :) Good job. Welcome Dalton to the club! Learn from this guy, he knows a bit and is still alive and in good health doing this job :)
Reminds me of my first day rigging a load.
Hopefully one day he'll be able to go fast, but fast only works if it's done right.
Good video Ron, looks like your help is doing great so far.
Ron, you my good man are an AWESOME Instructor for doing the chaining and loading. You ALWAYS emphasize SAFETY in how you do your job. IF I was Dalton, I would feel HONORED to be taught by an AWESOME INSTRUCTOR like you.
Ron - if you can, show this to Dalton... ---> " " " "Welcome Dalton...!" " " " From one of Ron's UA-camrs in Pittsburgh Pa...! Glad to see you're on the team... You have an Excellent teacher btw... We Love This Guy...! Ron is Always explaining what's going on and is HYPER SAFTEY conscious considering how dangerous the traffic and the job can be... Stay safe out there and again... Welcome to the team...!
Another great video to catch in the am 👍 . Hang in there , Dalton , you have the best teacher out there , Ron . You may feel frustrated at times , don't give up and stick with it , you'll do great
Ron,
Keep up the good work. Welcome Dalton!!! As others have stated, learn from Ron. He has a few decades of experience and knowledge, and he is a wealth of knowledge that he is willing to share with you to help you be safe and work smarter, and, as stated in the video, keeping your head on a swivel, staying safe.
Reminds me of when I first started work, many moons ago. To get a good trainee to be an essential part of your company, needs a good teacher. You are one of them Ron. Some companies don't have good teachers, and therefore, don't know how to invest, which a recruit is. You do. Keep it up. What is a good idea is to wrap tools that belong to the vehicle being brought in wrapped up in boxes/bags with your company logo and contact details on it. Word of mouth is just as essential as paying for advertising
Would love to see videos of the shop repairing some of the trucks and trailers you bring in on the videos!!
He's talked about it before, but can't due to legal reasons.
Every time lawyers get involved in anything it messes things up.
Thanks again Ron. I learn something every time I watch these videos of yours. I'm done with my adventuring days but knowledge never goes out of fashion. Especially safety on the highway knowledge.
This one was great -- I get to learn from the master as he teaches an apprentice -- without having to be there!
The amount of comments saying Ron is a great teacher and giving support to new guy Dalton is why I’m here. This community is so positive!
Welcome aboard, Dalton! Ron, you are a great teacher. Learning by doing…the best way. And I really like the dash cam ride! Them miles just fly by!! Stay safe and God bless!
I was recently talking to a school crossing guard, and I reminded him not to turn his back on traffic. Wearing proper PPE is important, but it's just as important to watch the traffic as well.
I did school crossing for a while. The person that taught me told me to assume that every driver out there was either drunk, demented or both, and NEVER, EVER, turn your back on traffic. Tell the kiddies to stay together as one group, then look left, look right, look left, then step off the curb.
Great to see how patient you are with explaining your way of doing things
Welcome to The NewBee. First day always a little confusing. You have a good instructor Dalton. Easy day that day. Good Luck and keep your head on a swivel . . . .
The entire drive, I was distracted by the mud spattered on the windshield. 🤣🤣
I hate being ADHD.
You may have anything prepared in advance, set up camera and cleaned the windshield, but as you're going to take off, a bird happens to fly by and drop it's load...
Hey Dalton. By the time Ron is finished teaching you, you'll one of the best. You couldn't have a better boss.
Everyone is a newbie at first, but when you are working alongside "The one and only Ron" you learn a thing or two.
Sure it is a bit nerve racking working with the boss on the first day, but you couldn't have a better teacher!
Welcome to the team Dalton, I hope we get to see more of ya :D
I actually learned a lot in this video as well. Thanks Ron!
Day one with Dalton!! Lots to learn. There are alot of mentors at Midwest to teach you the right/safe way to do the job. I always liked teaching the next generation at my job.
Ron, you have a tremendous amount of patients when it comes to teaching! I have had my patients tested many times while teaching newbies. Some days were better then others.
FYI: Patience, as in keeping your calm. Patients are the people who visit doctors.
Another fine example of how to interact with employees. Talk TO them not AT them. As always...Well done sir! Keep up the great work!
I enjoy how patient you are teaching him how to chain down. I had a few drivers that were leased on to different companies that were "trainers" to teach rookie drivers how to flatbed.
Ron is a great teacher. He has a lot of patience for a teacher.
Nice that he had tow pins and no rabbit catcher. On TV, I was getting used to seeing most of the Canadian trucks that needed a tow having them and the catchers being mounted in the tow pin holes.
My pickup's brush bumper eliminated the OEM tow hooks, but you could lift the truck by the weak point of the bumper and it has a front receiver, so no lack of easy access tow points.
I can't understand putting the moose-basher bumper on a semi without it being made to have adequate tow points.
@@fhuber7507 Nobody thinks they'll ever need a tow until they do. It's always "the other guys" that "screw up" like that.
Same thing with the folks running "slammed" beaters, or 4-wheeling without winches - or even without pull hooks! - or taking out the spare tire "to save weight", or riding a bike with no gear, etc.. Most people think they're immune to misfortune.
As always a great way to spend a Friday morning watching an expert do his job. The outstanding thing this time is the expert teaching. I hope I was this understanding during my 50 years of teaching.
I really like listening to you train Dalton. I have always had a belief that if you can explain something complicated in a simple way, then you understand the subject.
Training Day. Welcome Dalton. You've got the best teacher ever. (Just my 2 cents).
Excellent video and an excellent demonstration on the right way to teach critically important information. Patience, clear communication, and demonstrating the how's and why's of safe working on the road. Well done, sir. Very interesting to me on how to properly bind a live liquid hazmat load!
Thank you for your patience with this young man. Everyone has to learn. You are a great mentor. God bless you and be safe.
Ron you are the nicest tow truck driver how you treat everyone is like we need more guys like you sir God bless you and your family
Good morning Ronbe safe out there and your employees also. Have a bless day and tell your grandson hello
Ron thank you for having the patients to train someone as green as Dalton. We all started somewhere and had either a good or bad instructor . you sir are a good one ,God bless be safe always watching
Welcome. Dalton!! You are entering a family that is going to teach you the "right way" !! Mr. Pratt is a "Great Teacher!"
That’s awesome your taking the time to teach him, keep up the good work guys
What an incredibly reassuring environment for a first day on the job. A wonderful example of what a boss or a trainer should be. Well done, Ron.
This video reminds me that I’m not a good teacher, I’ve worked by myself for so long that nobody can quite do things to suit me. It’s a curse really. Props to Ron for patience, but Dalton, be proactive and watch ALL of Ron’s videos and learn his ways so he doesn’t have to tell you EVERYTHING!
Must be quite an engine in that buggy, Ron - you must have been doing 130 mph down the highway, even through the construction zone!!! ;) Good brakes, too, quick stops at the red lights! He-he-he. I'm with you - overkill reduces the chances of big booms, and that load would have made a BIG boom.
And even faster when I put it on 2x speed. LOLOLOL
You're wrong he was going about 131 mph
Looked like all the traffic was going faster than Ron.
Congratulations to your new guy I wish you a lot of luck god should bless you
Great job teaching Dalton! I'm sure that he was a bit nervous knowing that thousands of people would be watching him. You do a great job of explaining all the little details to your viewers, but here you're actually training a future professional. Dalton should know that your viewers are rooting for him.
Hey Dalton. Congrats with your new job. Look and listen closely because you are learning from the best! Ron, thank you for another great video. Stay safe!, much love.
Good Morning My Good Big Bro Ron Pratt Sir & God Bless You & All Of You're Whole Family & All Of You're Whole Staff This Morning
Thank You My Good Big Bro Ron Pratt Sir
Thank You Everyone Else
Hands on training is the best and he has a great instructor . Daltons going to learn a lot from you. Thanks Ron I always enjoy your videos.
Good luck Dalton on your OJT. Great video as always, Ron. Keep up the good work.
You are such a great teacher. Love watching you and your guys work together. God bless you always praying safety with you all.
Good student, good teacher. Sure makes teaching easier when your apprentice just says "ok".
Hey Rotator Ron! Store the clips for the pins on those tow points in the pins in the hooks instead of the loose pile of 6 items to get lost! 2 complete units of all required pieces are bigger but are less like!y to be lost! Loose in the original box one clip was lost before it was ever used! Ride ride ride!
I look forward to seeing Dalton grow into his new career. He has a great teacher!
I look forward to seeing more of Dalton! Ron is an awesome teacher, love him.
Welcome, Dalton. You have some good teachers who want you to excel, and go home every night in the same number of pieces you left in.
Good morning Ron thanks for the video please upload the video two times a week
Training in somebody new is a great reminder of all the dangers you face with passing traffic.
In NY state any road maintenance truck working on the highway/Interstate has a tremendous crush bumper in the back, hanging out 4 or 5 feet long. My guess is that it could handle a car or pickup coming full speed at the stopped or slow moving highway maintenance truck.
You’re a good teacher Ron; you explain, demonstrate, and give hands-on experience, and feedback. I learn by watching you. Keep those videos coming Ron. Love your music choices, too!
For loading that truck on the airplane, it would be chain to frame, sleeper shoring stacked up to the frame, and not connecting anything to the axles.
Is that so the suspension and cab can't sway and bounce and shake the plane?
That would be good for recovery and tow operators to know about as well for loads that can't be allowed to shift or lean at all.
For top heavy over the road hauling...criss cross chains directly from mid length of frame to trailer. One chain pulling slightly forward, the other slightly rearward.
Best part of Ron teaching is his communication skills, he always let's folks know what he is doing.
And why.
LOL 1st day learning is always slow.
Slow is smooth and right, smooth is fast. Now right is for sure after 2nd check.
Green is green own it and learn.
Oh Boy!! Dalton is the newbie you hired? Welcome to the group Dalton. Looking forward to seeing more of you. You have a great boss.
Hi Dalton...looking forward to see your learning process. So far so good coming from one who has been watching a while now...lol
Perfect timing, lunchtime with Mr Ron.
HAhaha love it Ron, my favorite part is when the new guy put the pin into the correct side and you fussed with yours, then you had to play it off like you weren't trying to put it in the wrong way! Funny stuff man always good teaching moments when you have someone who is completely new to the subject, great video, thank you!!!
Well Dalton will be learning from the best, I remember watching you training both Talon and Mike so I know Dalton will learn quickly and well.
I'm glad you clarified what the second set of chains to the frame were for, it originally sounded as if you thought the the liquid wouldn't shift at all when you put the suspension under load with them. I know you know that wasn't the case.
Anybody will have a very hard time finding a great teacher like Ron. Teaching in actual while explaining and showing how the job is done safely.. GREAT TEACHER. How i wish i'm one of his O.J. T's. I will become a very good apprentice having a very good mentor.😍😍😍👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great job as always! Anyone that’s trained by you is lucky! Great teacher! I learn from watching your videos so it’s like you’re training more than 1 person. Thanks for the free classes 😂🤜🤛
Hey Ron, We teach our guys to remove cones from the scene to the first one.... that leaves the initial cones there to alert on coming traffic to move over.... taking the first ones out leaves you "exposed" to traffic. Just a thought. Glad to see you teaching the trade!
Thanks for your patience when teaching young man....stay safe.. Blessings...🙏👠👠
Thanks for the follow up Ron, I often wonder what you found. Great video as usual, hope Dalton works out, he seems to be a quick learner. Can always use your old videos as a training manual.
Welcome to Dalton, I hope to see him on more jobs.
Yes, probably a cooked bearing or a seized caliper. After a couple of hours, it cooled off enough to allow forward movement. That truck is a rolling bomb, even at the best of times.
When they flip, its a major hazmat incident, with miles of highway shut down.
Careful attention to detail pays off, and you can see that, in every decision Ron makes.
ua-cam.com/video/wcp0aX9_M2s/v-deo.html And this is why...
@@dennishannan3690 This was a very unfortunate incident, but an excellent show of a BLEVE and how dangerous they are. I pray to never be first-hand witness of one. Thanks and God bless.
Odd you had a propane tanker job for this week... Just up the road from us on Monday we had a semi-trailer tanker with 25,000L of propane where the driver lost concentration and put it into the ditch, on it's side. Valve for emptying the tank on the bottom, in the ditch, side of course. Closed the road all day while they emptied and recovered it. Luckily he lay it over gently so no leaks.
That would make me more than a little nervous. Glad all was safe.
Cant wait to see more progress with Dalton. it helps me know what's going on when you explain it to a new person.
They say a job worth doing is a job worth doing well. I don't see much of that in the real world, except here, with you. Big respect!
If we had,more teachers,Like Ron,the world, would be, a better place!!! G
He's a fast learner, Dalton there Ron. Gonna be a good addition to the team. Thanks for sharing :)
I REALLY respect the patience demonstrated in this video. Explaining why - not just how makes a HUGE difference, too.
Stay safe, God bless.
Hi Dalton, welcome to the Midwest Trucks team. have fun and be safe.
Dalton did good for his first day ... he is listening to what you say ...
Ron is an awesome pro and teacher with the patience of a surgeon👍. We all should be so lucky to work side by side during our learning years👍😇. God Bless🗽🇺🇸
OJT is much better than just reading the book. You do a great job teaching.
