A special treat! We get a double-header from Ron this morning! It is great to see you and Ethan both getting recovery jobs in this morning's video. I am remembering one of the first videos I saw of you and Ethan together: Pulling a tractor-trailer out that had dropped its rear axles into a ditch. You put Ethan to work digging enough dirt out from in front of those tires to get some cribbing in as a ramp. Your customer remarked how impressed he was that Ethan worked so hard to help, when his own son spent most of the time playing video games. It impressed me too. Ethan, you are becoming a top-tier recovery operator. It is great to see how you have progressed in learning this trade. Ron, you have done well teaching him not only how to work those controls, but in how to treat his customers too. Stay safe and healthy.
Thank you very much. So many viewers are negative when it comes to Ethan. I greatly appreciate how you've noticed his growth, learning, and professionalism. He is only 21 years old and will be a top notch operator. It takes time to gain experience and confidence. Again, thank you for the positivity!!!! God bless.
@@RonPratt Well, shucks. Not only does he notice my comment, "heart" my comment, and pin it, but then he actually pens a heart-warming reply. This is the reason I catch his videos every Friday 7 AM (and the occasional ones he sneaks in during the week).
@@RonPratt What?! People are negative about Ethan? We witnessed a teenager grow up as a firefighter (AKA true heroe) and skilled recovery operator in a few years. The only negative thing about Ethan is that he does not do the "Pratt fall" but he has time to learn that important skill from Ron.
@@RonPratt Gosh, Ron, my husband and I avidly watch to enjoy seeing how well Ethan does his jobs. Yes, and he's also great at communicating graciously with the customers. We can't comprehend how anyone could possibly diss him! By the way, we love Ethan's dad too. LOL
@rwelssrock, I can assure you there have been many Pratt Falls in his time so far, I just haven't caught much on camera. LOL Thank you also, for noticing that he is only 21 and has learned a great deal. He is a very respectful young man and is still learning, as am I. People so often compare him to me and I have been at this for over 35 years. He isn't supposed to be ME! Thank you again for noticing his qualities and commenting on them. Thank you for watching and God bless.
Ron Pratt you doing A very very good job when it comes to the hard works that I see you and your family and friends do for your clients in times of their needs that you for your service. God is working in your life. Please keep up the good work please? God bless you so very much. This is Kenneth from North Carolina
Glad to see you back in the saddle Ron... 2 in one video... good to see You and Ethan out on the road being safe even thou it's not together. Awesome videos guys... !!!
I must say I love the two for one, thank you Ron. Ethan you are becoming more and more like your dad, who I am sureis very very proud of you. Ron, you and Mama Pratt, sure a great job raising Ethan. Very big props to both of you.
Great double video of your nightly runs. Always a pleasure watching your team do their utmost to treat the customer (or officers/firemen) with the most respect. And careful caring work ethics, the best I have seen in years. Being a senior, l don't see that much anymore. thrilling to witness even on video. i loved Ethan's last line, "This ones ugly but so am l.") Very funny but not true sir. You are a handsome, hardworking, respectful young gentleman and Lilly is a lucky lady. always your senior subscriber Bart S.
Thanks for taking us along for the ride again Mr. Ron. Also, this is a fun way to clip together some shorter recoveries into a nice long video I could watch over my break. As Always, appreciate the effort you put into making these.
i have to say ron you taught ethan well,he is flawless with the jobs he does.he secured that car on the flatbed so fast,you should be very proud of him.ron ethan has your positive attitude and being very respectful.gets along with customers great.takes pride in his job
Hello ladies and gentlemen as always, I’m very confused as if to know if it’s either Ethan or Ron narrating the videos and to my surprise it’s both of them. You guys sound so much alike it’s amazing. Great family! Great company! Great respect for your hard work and dedication to the job. Great video!! I love this channel. Especially since i myself am a former heavy duty recovery operator out of the Lower upstate New York area.
Respect is the universal deescalation strategy. When everyone is working for a common purpose people tend to get along better. Ron you get it! Understanding some people are just miserable all the time !
Ethan's more of a man that ANY of those people making negative comments about him will EVER be...! From a physiologist's point of view, People who make negative comments about others are are "Trying" I repeat "Trying" to establish a sense of purpose in their own pathetic life by degrading others. (This is textbook)... - Ron You and Your wife have done an EXCELENT job of raising Ethan and he is by far doing wonders at his age of 21... He is an incredible individual providing so much positive to society it's amazing...! Keep up the GREAT work Ethan You are loved and appreciated by more people than you'll ever know...!❤💯👍
Nicely done both Ron and Ethan. The easy ones are welcome once in a while, though better if it's not at 2AM. I hope you are feeling improved Ron. As a lifelong chronic asthmatic myself, I know all too well what it's like to struggle for that next breath.
Like in baseball. WE have a Double Hitter. Two Pratt s on the street stepping up to the job plate. So it's DOUBLE the work DOUBLE, DOUBLE the fun, DOUBLE the Pleasure. DOUBLE the PAY. So after this back home for DOUBLE some Sleep and Dreams 👽 Your dad would So proud of you both stepping up to the Plate on the NIGHT SHIFT 😊😊
Hey Ethan, just a little tip for the straps, it’s generally easier to pull the strap through if the ratchet isn’t in the “unlock” position, next time, try having the handle pointing upwards or even almost closed. This should make it easier to pull the strap through. Another great video though guys, keep up the great work
The problem is we get a bit of each clip. While we watch Ethan, We can not see what Ron is doing. This should have been two separate episodes instead of channel switching like television.
@@Dan-uv5lw "While we watch Ethan, We can not see what Ron is doing." What the heck are you talking about? These are recordings edited together, it's not a live television show. If you absolutely _must_ think of it that way, you should know that one side was "paused" while the other was showing.
@@Dan-uv5lw I'll bet Ron had a lot of fun doing the cut and paste to put this video together. It was fun to watch it too. It's a little different and we get to enjoy seeing both our fave guys.
@@Dan-uv5lwwait, what? Nothing missed in each recovery. It was just two (2) videos in one (1). They both picked up where they left off, I don't know what you're taking about. Good job Ron !!!!!
As a Canadian we take no offence to people not wanting to live in Canada during the winter, it does get very cold up here. Summers do get hot too though.
Me, Canadian: I'm just glad to live where the bugs aren't trying to kill me year round lol Thanks for the double feature. May God bless the Widwest family!
A double take, I love it. Always think for another awesome videos. That's why people call you because you know how to talk without putting them down. God bless you and God bless America. 😇😇🙏🙏🇱🇷🇱🇷
Really like your content and how you edited these two together. A little of this job then a little of the other. Nice jobs. Two tows and editing 😂😂😂 👍🏻👍🏻
Ron, it depends on which part of Canada you live in. The west coast and parts of southern Ontario don't get too cold, but our on the Prairies? Try -55 degrees. At that temperature, it doesn't matter whether it's Celsius or Fahrenheit!
Love the duel jobs i will admit I have gotten stuck in gravel drop yards twice. Normally empty trailers go on gravel and loaded trailers on concrete areas
Almost like a TV show where the scenes flip back and forth. Neither rain, snow, sleet. fog nor darkness of night will keep the Pratts away. The truck being stuck wasn't the driver's fault. The owner of the property needs to provide a hard surface for trucks.
Ahh yes the middle of the night call. “Police need a wrecker at …” is it a simple arrest impound or is it upside down in a ditch, you’ll never know til you get there
17:50 Pretty sad that society is so messed up that you had to announce that you're not prejudice, you just like warmer weather. I love the split video of you and Ethan. I know that it takes more time to edit, but I hope to see more of these. But it's your channel, your company, your time Thank you to you and your team
Loved the video smash up, that said I am more of a fan of two separate videos even though it’s just one video. Also I have read that some have difficulty at times figuring out if it’s Ron or Ethan. Best way I can tell is Ron’s pitch is just a tad bit higher then Ethan’s, it’s not by much however it’s there to my ears. That may help some folks out if Ron doesn’t have any note cards up to say who is who. 🙂
I love watching your channel for several reasons. First and foremost because I know there won't be profanity. Often, my grandchildren watch with me because they learn things about trucking; they are homeschooled and this type of learning is not in book learning.
Eh-hem. In the last two years I've had a total of of 2" of snow and temperatures almost never below freezing by more than a degree or so.. Vancouver BC, Canada. Tonight, clear, dry, 44.6 ˚F. Not to bad in comparison.
Love the work and skill of the whole Midwest team. Ethan , keep the wind sock / sponge on your mic. We don't want to miss anything! and its the mileage, not the chronology.... Ron grunts, Ethan doesn't.......yet....grin
🇨🇦 No offence taken. Here in southern Ontario, it’s a generally toss up as to whether we’ll have snow for/on Christmas. In fact, the most southern part of the province is (latitude wise) into California.

Who else loves this channel?
I love all and pray for all
It is brilliant .
Me
It never gets boring.
First-class to be sure!
I like how Ethan is treating his GF, with respect and 'please' and 'thank you'. That's a gentleman.
Date Night for a Tow Guy
Great job Ethan, love how polite you are to everyone, especially Lily. Your parents have taught you well.

Love the “Ron’s call out” haha sometimes it’s hard to tell at the beginning with Ethan 😂 like father like son
Glad to see Ethan is continuing the family tradition of Date Nights and seems to have learned his craft very well.
Glad to see you back in the saddle Ron... 2 in one video... good to see You and Ethan out on the road being safe even thou it's not together. Awesome videos guys... !!!
2 for 1 not bad! Completes my Friday morning. I seen pictures of that new rotator that can pick up 100 tons, what a beast!
I prefer watching a complete recovery, and then showing the other. I will watch what ever you put up, just being honest. God Bless !
2 nice simple jobs that help pay the bills. Good job, Ron & Ethan. God bless

Really enjoyed this video! Well done. So kind of Ron to crank up the dollies.
Your work ethic is beyond reproach Ron & Ethan. Whilst Missouri slumbered, the Pratt’s were toiling on!! Best Wishes Roy W UK

Absolutely 👍, I’m impressed with his ability and how he speaks to clients 😊😊😊
It's nice to see father and son working together but separately. Glad to see you are better Ron but Ethan sounds sick now. Great video
Ron ., Ethan .....you two have taken me on an informative journey; I'm hooked for life .
Oooh! A twofer! Great job guys. Stay safe and God bless.
Very interesting Ron like the video and stay safe out there
Very Cool! two pull outs by Ron and Ethan! Bonus!
Nicely done both Ron and Ethan. The easy ones are welcome once in a while, though better if it's not at 2AM.
I hope you are feeling improved Ron. As a lifelong chronic asthmatic myself, I know all too well what it's like to struggle for that next breath.
Good gesture, refilling the holes. I suspect that many people would not bother.
I do! Watch him all the time. Ron and his crew are professionals.
I love the way you have two scenes and one video keep up the great work guys love your videos
Great job, Eathon. You're doing a great job. That was a nice, easy recovery for you, Ron.
That's a nice surprise! Two for the price of one! Nice video's. Thumbs up!
This is soooo cool lol love the double action
I liked the dual video. You changed it up and made in interesting.
Like in baseball. WE have a Double Hitter. Two Pratt s on the street stepping up to the job plate. So it's DOUBLE the work DOUBLE, DOUBLE the fun, DOUBLE the Pleasure. DOUBLE the PAY. So after this back home for DOUBLE some Sleep and Dreams 👽
Your dad would So proud of you both stepping up to the Plate on the NIGHT SHIFT 😊😊
Hey Ethan, just a little tip for the straps, it’s generally easier to pull the strap through if the ratchet isn’t in the “unlock” position, next time, try having the handle pointing upwards or even almost closed. This should make it easier to pull the strap through.
Another great video though guys, keep up the great work
Ice n snow, this must be some olllllddd foottage :) This format with the double header is kinda cool.
I love what you are doing mat and I love you trucks
I'm afraid I don.t like the jumping back and forth. I'd rather just have one job after the other. But I do LOVE your viceos!
I just love rons channel
God Bless you both. Stay safe.
I wanna say Ron the growth of Ethan in the business has been incredible from one father to another what a job you have done!!
Great video, loving the 2 different jobs and the swapping between them
Getting fancy Ron getting duel content really like it.
The problem is we get a bit of each clip.
While we watch Ethan, We can not see what Ron is doing.

Rod you did good Ethan you also did an awesome job getting that van out back on the driveway even though he broke the key in the ignition
As a Canadian we take no offence to people not wanting to live in Canada during the winter, it does get very cold up here. Summers do get hot too though.
You guys have a bless day and stay safe out there …… 🤓
Great video Ron and Ethan stay safe
This video would count as two for one. Twice the entertainment, one price. Love a Ron Friday night video.
Nice Work. Stay safe out there.
A lot of truck drivers wouldn't have filled those holes in. Props to him.
Good to see the driver leveling the gravel. You can see by the shovel he is more use to snow than gravel, but it was getting the job done.
I'm liking the double-call format here.. great job guys!💪🏼🇺🇲stay safe out there!
Me, Canadian: I'm just glad to live where the bugs aren't trying to kill me year round lol
Thanks for the double feature.
May God bless the Widwest family!
Nice double video there Ron, Ethan
A double take, I love it. Always think for another awesome videos. That's why people call you because you know how to talk without putting them down. God bless you and God bless America. 😇😇🙏🙏🇱🇷🇱🇷
An interesting way to present two jobs. Taking it that the jobs were about the same time of night.
Love it.
Good job guys keep the videos coming 😎
Really like your content and how you edited these two together. A little of this job then a little of the other. Nice jobs. Two tows and editing 😂😂😂 👍🏻👍🏻
I do. Another great job done.
So true Ron well done 👍 , I LOVE the reasoning behind your stories too 👍
First time I see two recoveries in the same video! Great job!
Loved the double format be safe y’all look forward watching your channel every week

The back and fourth between you 2 in this video is what made it! Ethan sounds sleepy lol
It was at night and not his first call out of the evening. He WAS sleepy and a bit irritated I think. LOL Thanks for watching and God bless.
Ethan was 14 when i started watching, he has matured a lot since then. nice quick, easy job by both of you
Love the duel jobs i will admit I have gotten stuck in gravel drop yards twice. Normally empty trailers go on gravel and loaded trailers on concrete areas
Definitely me!!!!
Thank you for watching and God bless
Cool bubble the fun nice work you two looking good 👍👍👍👍👍🙏
I like this style video with the 2 separate jobs.
I like watching Ron, he's my go to guy I've been watching him for years, I learned alot from watching his video's
The Boss is Working a 2:00am Call Out. 👍🙏
cool two jobs nice guys

I live in Canada and no prejudice taken here. It gets dang cold up here at times, especially in the northern areas of most of the provinces.
Great editing job Ron .UNDER reach can be used in many ways.🤩👍👍
Love the idea of showing 2 at once should do more like that
Awesome video keep up with a great work and be safe out there.
Thanks for the St. Joseph, Missouri mention!! 👍 👍
Nice work Ron and Ethan. Good job at night.
I like this channel, enjoy the videos
Ahh yes the middle of the night call. “Police need a wrecker at …” is it a simple arrest impound or is it upside down in a ditch, you’ll never know til you get there
Good job ethen on car recovery 👏 ❤ proud u and dad s out two might see each other on way home eh ❤
Good job guys.
Good take on it Ron.
Do you still have little Pete I like see that little guy at work. Be safe my friend.
