- Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!!! Today, we call in for most of the crew to work a major crash with a semi truck and loaded trailer close to rolling down an embankment after hitting the guardrail of a bridge HARD!!! It's actively leaking diesel and other fluids. Let me make this clear, even though this is a JB Hunt trailer, this was NOT a JB Hunt truck or driver. This "private carrier" grabbed the wrong trailer and then wrecked the entire rig!!!! The driver wasn't supposed to be pulling this trailer. I rush to the scene with our Emergency Response Unit. Ethan brings his new Western Star with Miller Industries Century 9055XL. TALON bring our flagship Rotator, the Peterbilt 389X with a Century 1150R. With the location, the leaks, the lean, and the impalement of the guardrail, this makes for one challenging job, but as most of you know, I enjoy a challenge!! It's quite the interesting recovery and, hopefully, an enjoyable video for all. 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!!!

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!!!

You can hear the concern in your voice with that secondary crash, and can appreciate you stopping ALL operations temporarily until you figured out all your own crew and supporting emergency units were safe and accounted for before continuing. Everyone’s safety on scene and making sure they’re accounted for is defintley of utmost importance with so many people and units on a scene like that with so many things going on at once. Nice work!
I agree
Ron... you have had interesting jobs, technical jobs, fishing jobs, muddy jobs, entertaining jobs, dangerous jobs, educational jobs, and a host of other ways to get us to see what your equipment can do. This one beat them all! I think I forgot to breathe for a while. Right around 16:40 I had visions of the entire mess rolling and taking at least Tator with it. You and the entire team impressed the heck out of me on this one! Good show, stay safe!
At least no one got seriously injured. The driver's pride is shattered. He took the wrong trailer and wrecked that is double whammy.
Good work. Teamwork makes the dream work.
This one was a serious physics and geometry problem. It is a lot of fun watching how you solve those problems.
I love seeing Talon back out, but man he has changed so much now that he’s a papa
I concur, and office work isn't healthy for him either. He needs to be out fulltime in a tow truck again.
We call him being a dad "papa" is what we call a grandfather
@@raulmatias4938 I guess it depends on the region and how how that region chooses to use the familiar or the casual for the name. But that’s something I did not consider in my initial post
Shelby is awesome!!! Great to see Talon!
This recovery is a real lesson in physic and angulation. I was really on the edge of my chair watching this one. Really top-drawer work here- A-Team. The Safety Award goes to the guard rail. It did it's job.
That was a "white knuckle" job even for those of us who were watching!! I always look forward to your videos.
I appreciate so much your love for the Lord and mankind.
I am a 77 year old widow, but for some reason your channel fascinates me❤
I am a 75 year old widow and I agree. I really like big rigs.
I’m an almost 82 year old female and I also like watching this channel.
When Ron was moving the back of the trailer over the first time I had to remind myself to breathe.
44:39
Great job Ron and the team >> those radios sure come in handy .
Great Job Brother Ron and crew! Thank you for sharing the Brothers comment! It’s amazing where we find each other! I have found several Brothers while towing! This one was not having a good day his wife just had a car accident. She was uninjured but shaken up. While I was cleaning up the scene I noticed the square and compass on a truck. He had been by. So I asked him if that was his truck and he said yes it is. When I put my hand out you could see his stress was relieved and was so happy that a brother was taking care of his car! Even tho the accident happened on a busy road it’s like time had stopped while we briefly introduced each other and what lodges we belonged too! Kindness belongs in this industry! SMIB
That young Lady is a real worker
I can see what you mean by complicated and dangerous. Great job by all. You're right about getting fuel leaks stopped as soon as possible Ron. Thank you and your team for all you do.
Good to see Talon again. He's got the dad Body in full swing I see lol. Awesome job by you all!
I can’t imagine how many hours that took. You had the whole crew out there. What a fantastic job!
Good to see y'all work together as a team. Great job. Nice to see the Hazmat trailer in action
What a job that was! You really know your business safety as well as just getting the mess undone. I hope your son can absorb all you are teaching for the day he will be in charge and approach a job with the confidence and knowledge like you do. God Bless you and your crew.
Mr Ron That was kind of touchy but your crew handled with ease. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
Headsets are an absolute must for a safe and expeditious recovery. I love to see everyone knows what’s going on and can work as a team setting up and breaking down rigging for each step.
Yay Big Tate to the rescue!!!! Your video awesome ad always. Grandbabies spent the night so they are all excited singing Big Tate to the Rescue over and over. Thank you Ron for being the best wrecker service in the Midwest with such professional people. We love the videos. God bless you and your family.
@jaquelinewarren6790 Pepe’s towing has a heavy duty wrecker that has the Hulk theme on it that’s pretty cool. My grandkids also like seeing it work. But Ron’s channel is our favorite.
Great Job Mr Ron and crew!! It’s amazing to watch Ms Shelby, the way she handles those heavy chains, cables, etc.
That was a chore! It amazes us that you can assess the situation in a rather short time and get the rigging in place and start the recovery. Kudos to you and your crew! All of you are awesome!
Watching out of the corner of my eye while doing some work. 9:39 "What? Somebody just got hit?" You have my full attention. Thankfully it wasn't what my mind immediately went to.
that was super great to see the men of the family working together, been along time haven your son in law out there with you.
Another awesome video Ron, only thing that sucks is only hearing part of the conversation. I'll keep watching though cause your the best in the business.
WOW!!! You had me squirming in my seat!! The angles that we were watching were looking like it would go over at any second! Great job!!! People don't have a clue as to how and what you do!! Great job!!
Ron, it's always such a treat to watch you in action in difficult situations or dangers circumstances like on this gig. You are a master, a field general, all while teaching at the same time. I just don't know how you juggle it all buddy. Congrats on a job WELL done on this one as it had a ton of challenges. You're the best pal and Ethan is coming along as well. Stay safe out there and I pray for a hedge of protection around all the Team. Never miss an episode.
It's one of the more tricky ones I've seen you have to deal with. Great teamwork, everyone!
Awesome job by the whole crew and good to see Talon back out on the job site
@@Brian75-ej5mn Ron and your were above and beyond the best work you have done. I love seeing great work from you and your team. Keep up the great work that you have done.
Great job by Ron and his team with this mess how does a driver pick up a wrong trailer. When ever I pick up a trailer the paperwork has the trailer number on it and usually a security guard will double check to make sure you have the right trailer
Oh my goodness what a challenge this one was. Your whole teams got to do one together and they were great ! Great seeing Talon again !!
Wow so many things gone wrong for that situation to happen. Thankfully the driver is ok. You and your team did an awesome job as always, and I could tell you were doing your best to keep calm in a very stressful situation.
All on Ron's shoulders.
Ron, I admire your ability to remain calm yet assertive in stressful situations and still give helpful guidance and training while everyone's looking to you for the answers!
The lights on the western star are awesome looking !!!!
Ron I Love watching you're Video"s as I was OTR Truck Driver for 30 Years & It always amaze's me at what you can do can do so easily with those Rigs in such a short Time pure Talent & Experience at it's finest
That were a job and a half!! As usual, a bad situation made good with a whole lot of teamwork to get it done. That tractor unit's front nearside was a bit beat up, but should be all right with a bit of T-Cut and a good scrub! Actually, correction, either a major re-build or off to the scrapyard - insurance pending. Good to see Talon out of the office/workshop for a change. Helps him keep his hand in! Great job all of you! Greetings from the UK. God bless.
Ethan is a great example of a great leader in training. He knew when to hand the controls off to a very qualified person. Not saying that Ethan is not qualified but he recognizes that his dad might be a little better for this one
Good to see Talon again! That could have gone sideways in so many ways. I am rather interested in the hazmat on this one and how you stemmed the leak.
a great job well done to all it is nice to see a professional crew working together Ron be safe and god bless
Great video!! Love seeing all that iron working together.
I used to work as a firefighter in Northampton New Hampshire. We had 12 miles of I-95. The heavy rescue came down from Portsmouth. We could have used a crew like yours some nights.
Now I drive a four-wheeler, and my part in wrecks is now to wait patiently while you do your work.
I just completed a 7,050-mile road trip outvwest. We moved all but Sundays. For three weeks, we went out west and back, never once got held up in a wreck traffic jam.
That is unusual these days.
Cool.
Nice see talon out for change ❤ he still use rotator well good man talon Ron your lads doing very well u teach him well like talon
WOW that was a lot of work to get that one back on hard ground. Then more work to hook up and tow out of there
Ron you are a lucky man to have good people who are not afraid to work.
I always like the way you watch out for everyone's safety.
Nice job Sir great crew
I think this is one of the worst situations you have been in a long time, Ron. I can see why it's a dangerous recovery. Good teamwork and leadership because they got the professional there and Our Father's help. God Bless all you guys.
Been watching for about 3 years now and this Ranks up there as one of My Fav Videos cause it shows that There's No I In Team Your Crew did a awesome job working together New Mixed with Old working Together Great Job Ethan,Shelby,Shawn And Tallon. and A Big Shout out to u Shelby I Just Love your go get them Spirit. keep up the Amazing work guys Also good seeing Talon again.
Great Job Ron and crew
What a bummer for the driver of that rig , picks the wrong trailer and then skewers his boss's Volvo on a guard rail , secondry crash , stop to check all the crew are ok and there , your work was really cut out for you ! I can just imagine how the boss must have been feeling , driver takes wrong trailer , prangs rig , asks Ron the details (fra tically) just for Ron to say , let me fix the hazmat leak and I will get back to you ! He's trying to work out the damage and costs quickly and the tow guy says ' let me stop everything potentially going up in flames ' must have made his night infinitely worse ! Difficult job , well done .
Thanks for a super super video Ron and the entire crew.
You had a tough one there with that guard rail tangled up in the semi truck and trailer. What a mess. Little by little you got it. Wow. Tough one to deal with. Great teamwork and great crew. Talon seems to be going again.
Good leadership on your part Ron. Good one to see how it is done. ✅
Nice work Ron.
The retired Air Force veteran.
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
Great job guys and gals it was great to see talon back in a vid again when I started watching he was in them he should make more appearances
Epic video of a great crew working together, real teamwork.
Another great recovery. All stay safe.
Shelby damned sure isn't afraid of work. I give her props. ❤
Good job as always.
My what a complex and intricate extraction! ❤ why do I suspect that MANY hours of work and video went into this project?!?! 😊 Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
Good job and video Midwest crew. It is good to see Talon on a scene
nice seeing Talon out on a job Hi Talon
Outstanding job by all of Team Midwest Truck. Looks like you had the whole crew on that one. Appreciation for Ethan knowing his current limitations and turning the rotator over to Ron. STAY SAFE OUT THERE.
I am nicely surprised to see Talon! Too bad we don't have his "waddle cam".
Awesome job by the whole crew Ron!
Keep up with the good work Ron an team love watching you on UA-cam God bless 😊
Wow! A lot of work and clean up afterwards. Love the trailer too!
Great job Ron and company
Old Talon has really matured since the days of working as an apprentice side kick along with Ron. Pretty soon I can envision Ethan running the Company as president while Ron acts as CEO like his Dad had done. 😊
Or maybe Shelby? She seems very knowledgeable and efficient for the amount we have seen of her on the job sites.
@@wssides, Shelby has a lot of potential - listens, learns, retains, and can put it all to good use. After some more experience, it will be interesting to see how her supervisory skills are.
Even if they wasnt whit to day i like Talon and Mike.. Talons progress is so nice to see, rember when he strated, He was giving the best he could and was intressted
Ron I watch your stuff all the time and I have to say I’ve never seen anyone as good as you are when it comes to recovering. Great job
GOAT of towing operators.
@@JV-pu8kx
Absolutely!
👍👍
Ron, what is the difference between the Rotator and the 9055? Why did you have to change positions?
Great job guys! Glad it wasn’t rolled over. 👏👏👏💪💪💪
Great job on the recovery. That was a tough one.
What a mess great job Shelby is quite the worker 👍👊🏻😎🙏🙏
when the back of the tractor popped free made my heart skip a beat!
Awesome crew that worked so well together, and it is always great to see Talon out working in the field.
Good to see Talon at the scene
That was an excellent job great team work well done all.
All Hands on deck Great Job by the whole team ! That was a nasty recovery
Thanks for the video please post more videos a week and God bless
I need a pocket flashlight like that working at night. Great job everyone.
I was thinking that also. Comical.
In Missouri, y'all gotta walk tall and carry a big pocket flashlight! 😀
Gotta have a little humor to lighten the tension.
Great to see Talon. Crew did a great job as always.
One of your better recoveries Ron🇺🇸🙏😇
Good to see Talon getting his hands dirty again
Safety First
Thank you the great video as always
And God bless you
Maybe Miller industry needs to hire y'all to show how well they're putting Works in detail😊😊
That driver and his Boss and JB Hunt were definitely having a bad bad day.....
I was going "What?" when Ron was handed the phone from the "owner" of the company. Thinking it was a bigwig at JB Hunt. Then I saw that the power was a different company. With your comment that this was a mistaken hook this driver and company have some interesting court times coming. Hunt will want to shed the blame and responsibility, as they should, for the financial ripples from this wreck. But with a "stolen" trailer and a fuel spill this will be an interesting mess. However, the tractors owner has a good DOT record so I expect they will step up and make it right.
Certainly not the driver. I'm sorry but anyone out here wearing less than shoes automatically gets a lower assessment in my opinion because if they can't even meet that standard then I don't believe they can meet the rest of the standards to be a good professional driver.@bobmazzi7435
It's good to see Talon on the job again.
Absolutely Amazing Response well done the whole team deserves a pat on the back very professionally done and you handled that owner well❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nice job Ron,that could've been a mess if it went over the hillside,you probably would've had to call in a big crane to lift the trailer out & did you find out what he was hauling & why he grabbed the wrong trailer for
That was really a family affair! Every one was there except your wife. It was great to see Talon again, I miss him being in your videos. 🇨🇦
Oh my goodness, that was a bad accident! Also a very difficult job for all of you! Thank you for the video and I am glad everyone is alright.
Talon has come a long ways with his efforts and knowledge. The whole team deserves a great 👍 compliment. Congratulations. It was a pleasure to watch.
It's good to see Talon out on this one!!!
Awesome video keep up with a great work and be safe out there.
Good job to the team
AWESOME recovery, Ron, during a complicated and difficult job. Keep up the excellent work.
Hi Rion, I would have liked to see all Midwest Truck employee's in Hard Hats on every heavy wrecker or specialty job for there safety please.. I hope you still plan on getting your crews come in the videos also. I along with others would like a staff update please. I personally would like to know whomever employee is at Midwest Truck l. Including the shop and office employees along with all personnel out.in the field like you please. Thank you and keep staying safe.
That looked like a really difficult job and as always your experience and expertise paid off. I think the only things that could of made the recovery even worse would be heavy rain, high winds and overhead power lines!
Someone put that trailer together nicely. Way to go.
A great recovery by the whole crew. The truck must have leaked many gallons of diesel before you got there.
You guys do such a good job you are always so polite with your staff on the job site and it is nice to see new people on your job sites learning new stuff awesome job to all parties
I just drove by your shop on my way to Alabama it was awesome haha
They damn well brought the whole Midwest Truck force to bear, and damned if they didn't done it again! Ladies and Gentlemen of Midwest Truck, I thank you for your service!
thanks for the video im watching while im on vacation
A rare Talon sighting!
The knowledge and skill level that you provide is so outstanding and superb. Then videos and editing beyond that. Kudos to the whole crew! Safe travels!
