- Опубліковано 31 гру 2024
- The 2nd or 3rd wave of Winter storms hits. This one starts out with freezing rain and sleet causing slick roads and multiple slide-offs and crashes. We are dispatched to the scene of a jack-knifed semi that is blocking one lane of the interstate and then we get called to bring both our rollbacks, tilt trays, to the same site. NO INJURIES!!! Please SLOW DOWN & MOVE OVER!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

Love this group of people to the moon & back .everyone is a great bunch of people always respectful looking out and helping each other don't find many like you all .God bless you all and the Lord keep his arms around each of you all and keep you safe on your journeys...❤❤❤...
Even when driving on icy road with snow on top. Ron is discussing safety procedures. Not pushing it and putting safety of life and equipment over arrival time. A true professional and example to use all.
Great job Ron and nice to see David
It is very much appreciated that you always try to keep the traffic moving while you are recovering vehicles/equipment. I just wish drivers would slow down while passing by your rig as a thank you gesture.
I watch several other tow companies but none that impress me near as much as you and your company. You have some of the most informative videos that I have seen. Sure sorry that you are having so much bad weather but I must say that here in the sunny (yeah maybe) south (South Carolina that is) all we have had is rain and more rain. Y'all stay safe and we will keep you and yours in our prayers
Ron, your the most amazing Tow truck operator known to me. All you do is totally out of this world. The training you produce is fantastic. May God always at you side no matter what you doing. Your absolutely the best at all you do . Although we have never met I think of you as one of my best friends. May God bless you and your family. Your whole family are God fearing and I never hear you use and cuss name or take the Lord’s name in vain. That’s a rear commodity in this world. Thank you for that quality and thank your parents for bring you up the rest right way. It’s amazing to know somebody like that. I guess not everyone is like that. Please never change Ron. Your totally amazing my Friend.
Amen! I get so disgusted at some of the police videos cursing an especially the F bomb ! Sure they get frustrated we all do! Mr Ron sure does but what time I’ve been watching him, he’s not cursed or even raised his voice or degraded any of the employees! Great job Mr. Ron. It also did my heart great hearing Ethan working with “ Tumble Weed “ he just sounded just like you when you were teaching him and some of the others!
Just like another person commented “ You’re a Real Professional Professor!
I wish I lived closer I would love to meet you all! God speed! Don’t any of you change, you’re all wonderful!
Sincerely,
Sherril Woods

Stay safe out there and I am from Boston so I am used to this kind of Weather. You are always in my prayers. 🙏🙏. Brian from Boston
Ron, have to say thank you from a long time ago for expanding the "Prayers" to "Prayers, thoughts and well wishes" to include all of us. We love your videos, but some have different beliefs; thanks for understanding that!
My prayers are always with you mr Pratt and al you helpers , etc
Thanks for the new video on here I love to watch them as a former wrecker driver daughter!
Thanks for the drive Ron!!
Awesome episode. Thank God no one was hurt or worse.
Nice team work! Like I tell my friend, who's a MedFlight Nurse, I hope I never need your services, but it's awesome knowing you're there if I do.
Hard working man and such integrity. You continue to be an inspiration for me!
I have followed for years. RON.... YOU REALLY NEED TO DO DASHCAM! Want to see more of what you do, and how it looks to outsiders.
Mr. Pratt, thanks for saying hi to me in Carbondale at the car wash. Sorry I forgot to properly introduce myself. I’m Elijah Melloy, thank you for the videos it really helps the little kid inside of me that love big trucks!
No problem! Glad to have met you. Wish I had a hat or something with me, but, like I said, David normally drives the road tractor. Perhaps we will meet again. Thanks and God bless.
I’ve seen him a couple times at the truck stop. Seems like a nice guy in real life but I have never bothered him👍
Im the same. I love big trucks to.
My account is mostly truck stuff 😂
I think that every guy has a kid inside of him that loves trucks, trains, ships and/or aircraft. :-)
@@RonPratt how many gears dose the rotater have is it a 10speed or 13speed.
If I had to work for someone, it would be you. I appreciate the respect you give to your employees. Patience is a virtue and your patience is never ending. Thank you. Enjoy your videos. Stay safe. Be well.
The weather is the roughest thing to handle. But thank God no one was injured. Ron please stay safe out there . Anything can happen during the weather. God bless you and your family and employees
Ron -- this is the first video in which you've asked for something for yourself! LOL But in all honesty, I greatly appreciate your teaching manner -- it's easier when you are all "singing from the same hymnal." Plus, you always turn any incident into a classroom, not only for your co-workers, but for some of us who watch.
That's one of the many reasons why I like Ron. He is also a main of faith and shows respect to everybody. :-)
2:23 True words! I was told the same during my time in the volunteer Fire Department. "Better take a few minutes more and arrive, than going too fast and crash on the way."
The s of the H of a good mood and
I love the "do you trust me" comment to the trucker. lol
It's better to be 10 minutes late in this world than 20 years to early in the next.
We lost our school superintendent last night. She was walking her dogs and a car hit her. The weather was clear but she is now dead; way too young to die. She was 50.

Another busy day for Midwest Towing with the best crews in the midwest !
At the beginning of the video when you were talking about your truck, you just described a good marriage as well as your partnership with the Tator.
Great job, Ron. May God bless you as you rescue people.
You guys are amazing!
First of all, we usually watch on big screen TV and there is no way to comment. So this is my first comment and please excuse the length, but I just wanted you all to know.
Ron and all at Midwest Truck. We have watched every single video in order starting at the very beginning, catching up at about five videos ago. We watched a few each evening over the Covid winter months. We are pretty picky about what we watch and we choose among the best UA-cam has to offer. We appreciate the clean content and commitment to detail as you take us along with you, driving video or not, on the work site while you all solve the rigging problems, work the angles, and clean up the crash sites as well as the other work you do that doesn't involve crashes. Gotta appreciate that good work ethic and steadfast commitment to safety of all at the scene; sends a good message and encouragement as to what it takes to make this country go. You've got us for life as we look forward to every new video. God bless and keep you all at Midwest Truck.
Thank you very much. I am pleased that you are enjoying the content that we provide. Thanks for watching and God bless.
Ill be honest Ron, ive been watching you since before you were popular. And I really prefer the cab view because I like watching you drive and operate. Be safe brother.
I've been subbed since about 20k and I like everything that he does. :-)
Absolutely love the dedication you have for safety! I wish more drivers had your mindset when driving on roads of an unknown condition. Watching those other drivers while you were trying to get to the scene was maddening!
Ron and crew, I have huge respect for the work you do .
I'm not religious ,but your area is blessed by your presence and I hope and wish for everyone's safety.
Peace and love brother (and the crew)..
👍🏻☮❤
Thanks!
I just never get tired of watching your incredible skills! Your videos also show the huge knowledge you and your crew have about vehicles. Stay safe. Thanks
All things considered, you guys are lucky. Pacific Northwest, we go through these conditions 3-4 time a year at least. You would be amazed how many people here still drive around in the winter with street tires on
Ron, I truly enjoy watching your videos! It helps keep the memories of my uncle alive,in my mind, that was killed over 15 years ago, hooking up a semi on the side of the interstate. Stay safe out there!
Ron.You are driving for the conditions and are an experienced driver and people are driving by you like you are standing still.I grew up driving in conditions like you have right now.Touch wood but I haven’t been in the ditch twice.It can happen in the blink of an eye.I try to drive to conditions.Just because the speed limit says 70 or 80 doesn’t mean you can drive that fast.
STAY SAFE Ron and Midwest team. You do a superb job. As a former recovery driver, I know the dangers. I did get hit but luckily the Recovery truck took most of the impact. I had severely bruised leg. Metal can be fixed or replaced
*Thanks Ron fer taking us along. Splendid Pull. Yank um and Hook um.. God Bless !!!.
Man them cranes have come a long way. All we had was a little orange remote with an in, an out and hi low toggle. That is an amazing piece of equipment.
David sure is a fine fellow. This was a terrific video - thank you! Caution, professionalism, expertise. Kudos!
I'm so glad you didn't end because of that dude getting arrested. I hate when stuff is cut short.
Left ya wonderin what for tho? 🤔🤔
It was nice to see David again. Hadn't seen him in a while. Good job by all of you and glad there were no injuries to you guys or the ones involved in the crash. Prayers for your safety.
Busy day at the office! Thanks for sharing this Snow Magedon adventure! Glad everyone was safe
I’m catching up on old videos, this one is so scary. That live lane of traffic was just plain dangerous for you and you assistant . Standing that close to many
trucks driving by.
I’m glad you ask for prayer each time , you truly do need Gods protection in these jobs . Stay safe please
Great Video, Great Teacher. Thank you Mr. Pratt for letting us see fire/rescue and police are not the only first responders. You are a very awesome man. Thank you sir and Stay Safe!
Are you wearing double socks inside of a size larger boots? Ice!
The speed the vehicles are using now, should be the speed all the time in slush and ice and snow. No accidents, put you out of business in winter.
You do such a good job. Very knowledgeable.
I am with you Ron, doesn't matter how much you weigh, when start skidding well it's over. My dad said someone said a large car wouldn't skid as fast as a light one, and he told them he saw a fully loaded dump truck do 360's in the road, so even a huge car is going to skid.
Another great job Ron and crew members,well done boys.👏🏽👍🏻😄😄😎😎🌺👌🏿🚘🚙🛻😜
It's amazing to see your skills at work rescuing big rigs. Fascinating to watch.
Nice work. Glad no one has been injured. Be careful everyone and stay safe.
Absolutely wonderful videos. I love that you show and treat everyone with respect. You use every opportunity and interaction to teach others and show what you are doing in a positive light. You show people how to be safe in unsafe conditions. When you messup you are not afraid to admit it or make fun of yourself and inject humor into the situation. It is clear you are not just a boss but a true leader of your community.
Mr.Pratt here in Indiana we had a snowstorm a couple of weeks ago and the roads were so iced over that they were telling people not to drive on the roads unless it was a serious emergency.
Great Job again Ron. What are you feeding David? Good Lord he is growing fast. Turning into a fine young man. Guess another few years and he will be doing the road work and you will do your dads job. Just taking the calls on the phone and only large Jobs will we be seeing you out there. As always God bless The Pratt family and all those who work for Midwest Truck.
Staying calm in stressful situations is key and you do a great job at that safety first good job Ron 👌
Exactly. It’s kind of like how a trauma surgeon stays calm and tries to put the pieces back together.
Thanks for the video Mr. Pratt. Good to see David again. Be careful and stay safe.
These storms really do create a lot of carnage!
Its not really the snow... its people who do not know how to drive in these conditions.
Yes they do.
It's more the people they are very stupid and don't care about road conditions or other people. Conditions like that are normal for us in winter further north.
Ikr
@@lawrenceeytcheson1317 I'm retired now so I don't drive as much as I use to, but in those forty years it wasn't uncommon to see cars that slid off of the road during or just after the first significant snow fall. It's like they forget how to drive in snow.
That was a rough 10 days or so here in Northwest Ohio too. We got about 18" total snow and a glaze of ice in the middle. My snow blower and utility tractor got much more of a workout than the Freightliner did. It was nice to play around on the snowmobile after the work was done though.
As always...be safe and God bless you, your crew and your equipment!
We hate that the Q was not working too! LOVE seeing that in action!
What is the Q
@@tonyjohnson5194 Google to Q siren, this is well known, loud siren used mostly on fire trucks and some other emergency vehicles. Usually used in high traffic to let others know that emergency is going through.
@@tonyjohnson5194 its his loud siren or bull horn he uses it when hes running code 3 to get people out of the way
@@tonyjohnson5194 One of the sirens the Tator is equipped with. Makes it very clear to "EVERYBODY MOVE!!! Emergency Vehicle Coming Through!" As I recall has somewhat of a wailing sound. Doesn't do much if it's frozen though.
When I started in the fire and EMS 27 years ago, one of the first things they told “ it does nobody any good if you don’t yet there.”
Great Video. Exit 91.....let's go get off this freeway!
Ron it's like u always said in the past. Small pulls at a time. Great job by u & David. God Bless
hi, I started watching your videos 2-4 weeks ago and it became interesting for me to see you doing the stuff you do with the machinery and in my country you don't see truck like yours and most of the people don't make it😕. I like the 1 hour or more because its nice to see how American's live(I have only been there once but cant remember all of the time there) i love you content.
❤may god bless you ❤
All these ice storms this month have caused a lot of accidents! Stay Safe out There!
GLAD EVERYTHING WORKED OUT
Prays and well wishes stay safe we just got through with ice storm I live in Oxford,Ms. I was off for a week
Hey I live next county over
RON , Hello, yeah, icy roads, but not much snow around, but obvious freezing rain, , could see in on that rig, you pulled out , but had not seen the red car. Until trailer moved , we had much of that but still have about 7 “ on the ground, & overnight black ice , GOD Bless you all even with the police out there they still do not slow down , Cheers. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
A+ FOR wearing your seat belts. So many videos I see on UA-cam of Truck drivers NOT doing so. Great video
Looks like a good place to build your second shop.
One of the most interesting pieces of advice I've heard about approaching one of those big pileups on ice was to just get going as far right as your vehicle will go. Buried to the rocker panels in frozen mud with the heater still working beats the heck out of crunched up in the pile, and there's going to be at least one wrecker that has to wait for others to clear the path, so you can get a quick winch out and be on your way.
such a fast amazing and safe job, stay safe on the roads
I think you right on the money when it comes to snow ❄️ storms and the way you should drive in one. Super smart if I could I would give you a gold star
Another great video Ron stay safe and hope everyone is ok with the accidents that you are dealing with
have a happy and safe weekend ron, crew and family
Good to see you Ron. Be safe an warm out there take care buddy
Great video we got hit pretty hard with the snow here in Oklahoma too. Seen quite a few cars off the road here too we just started your youtube channel and the snow and ice kinda put our videos on hold since we didn't have to be out working in it. Stay safe out there!
Thank you for the video's. Have been enjoying them. Also thank you for helping all the people. And thanks also to police, fire, paramedics and road crews. God please everyone.
Beautiful ride along! Thanks Ron and stay safe.
I"ve watched so many of Ron's videos, I'm thinking how I would hook it up,And then see how he did it.
Another straightforward job, only complicated by the weather conditions. You alluded to the PD wanting to talk to the driver of the car that Mike retrieved. are you aware of any developments/charges brought (I know the PD don't always 'feedback' such info). Stay safe and God bless.
Watching you in this storm,Nov., 2021, makes me aware of the coming winter. Ugh. 5 months to warm weather.
Ron, some WD-40 sprayed all over the Q does wonders to keep it from freezing up, the QD-40 displaces the water, just have to reapply it once you use the Q, as it will fling it all out from the inside of it.
Stay safe, guys. You're THE BEST!!
Great job men! You do incredible work!!!!
Atlanta, Georgia has seen some big snow and ice storms that completely shut down all the major highways and roads where vehicles were just parked on the roads and couldn't move at all. We were totally unprepaired for such a massive storm. Things have changed now thank goodness. I am just glad I haven't had to travel in any of it. I always love your videos. Always exciting and entertaining to see how things are done from your viewpoint.
My heart goes out to you, having to live in a blast freezer on a seasonal basis. Although I live close to Antarctica it rarely gets as bad as those of you in the Northern hemisphere.
Out west we're able to have studded tires. (we have mountains) I had some with 4 rows. Two on each side and two in the center.
Wow I hope you Ron and your team be safe out there on roads I’m praying that everyone is going to be ok and the snow is really really pretty but be super freezing cold weather us Australian we don’t have snow in Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 be safe and watch your 6
When the road conditions are like that it’s better to arrive late to accident scene then early to the pearly gates! 😖
Please
Patience zzRon patience
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.LOVE WATCHING.
Isn't life fun? My parents got that Ice Storm in NC last week.
In New England (where I am) is cold but "Spring is only 23 days away so things will get better.
I know, With Covid, and a long winter things are getting hard on everyone.
My thoughts and prayers are with everyone every day. Stay safe everyone.
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful work and the job from beginning to end....respect for everything comes through as your you speak and do. Blessings. To you and your family....🙏👠👠
Always good watching you Ron & Crew 👍
Blessings to you all 🙏💖✌
I love how you explain everything and the great work that you all do
Ron is great. The one thing I see is he's always "Do this... no, I'll do it." (i.e. releasing the slack on the rollback near the end.
I like how you take safety precautions it's definitely vital in those weather conditions last week it was definitely a mess here in Oklahoma city stay focused and safe out there Ron 🙏🏾🙌🏿🙏🏾
Hi Ron,Well,everything worked out in the end,Great camera work as always,glad you stayed safe on the I-state,lots of respect for the job you do.Best wishes for everyone from me,Jimh52 here in Nottingham[U.K.]
Ron says oh good we got law enforcement here to control traffic. Law enforcement guys say oh good Ron’s here
🐸 great video, great reminder to be careful on these roads
Another great job. Stay safe and warm.
Quite a busy day, thanks for sharing. Kevin
Hello Ron,
I know the truck is loaded and not stuck and not that much of a ditch. Could you have used the green drag winch for a faster recovery. Love the video's keep up the good work and god bless and stay safe.
that winter storm was brutal, be safe out there everyone.
