STUCK 3 TIMES IN THE SAME AREA WITH ONE CLOSE TO BEING A ROLLOVER!!!

- Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!!! Today, we get 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 perform a heavy winch out of a truck pulling a partially loaded flammable liquids trailer MC406. The truck got stuck going around a building at a new construction site. The ground conditions were horrible. And, as you will see, one simple pull isn't going to get this one. There is one extremely close call which was quite the scary few moments!!!!!! Watch to find out what I'm talking about. 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!!!

That tanker was put in a difficult spot! I'm glad you guys were able to help!
If only the property owner knew where to get some gravel... 😂🤣 😉
I agree. They told him it was okay to go that way, yet it gets stuck. His company provided a service to them by bringing the fuel they need. You'd think with all of the tracked vehicles and trucks around that go through that stuff with ease, they would've tried to get the thing unstuck themselves, rather than forcing the expense of using Midwest Truck.
@@jamesstine7849 Ron mentioned that they couldn't due to liability reasons, which makes sense.
Nice to see Dad & Son together on a job... Especially Away from the dangerous highways👍💯AND Eathan driving His Awesome Truck...!
Ron, you should be proud the way Ethan is thinking critically on these jobs, taking your instruction and criticism, and applying his own knowledge and training to complete the tasks in a safe and professional manner.
Ethan, you should be proud of yourself. From watching this channel for several years I have watched grow into your roll. I know your granddad is watching over you, and smiling.
Both of you keep up the great work.
"If at first you don't succeed..."
Thanks for another great video. It was great seeing Ethan behind the wheel of "his" truck, and at the controls. He is becoming a very good operator. Job well done.
Stay safe and healthy.
Nothin quite like watchin big man Ron letting Ethan run the reigns, and Ethan showing just how good of a towman he's become. Love this family, love the work you do, Sure dad/grandad is up there smilin down on his boys.
My mom, who was a Minister, taught me to count my blessings daily, she asked me to find 10 things every day to be thankful for, and know that nothing is granted, everything is a blessing, from the clothing on your back, the roof over your head, the food in your bellies, she built her own ministry on this principle, she called it Our Daily Blessings, and later she renamed it to Daily Walk In Christian Faith. We lost her back in 2017 to health complications, and her ministry went under, but we still to this day count our blessings.
26:48 "I wasn't planning on getting my hands dirty" I think you picked the wrong occupation for that :D
"I got a feeling we may not be done."
Don't taunt Murphy.
Ron, thanks for commenting about the missing comm’s set, I was thinking you really could have used that today. New truck, time for a third comm’s set maybe.
Ethan your doing a fine job. Everyday is a teachable moment. Have a safe and wonderful weekend.
one love seeing ethan running the truck with his name on the door. two finally a true test of the big stars talent as a recovery truck. i know she is a multi-role beast a strong recovery truck and a reliable work horse for everyday tows. i take it the choice was to bring the substantially lighter truck when compared with the rotator.
Since the rotator weighs 72.5 thousand, if they brought it out there, it would have sunk for sure. And besides, you don't need a rotator to do a winch out, not when you have a 50-ton with a big stick, and lots of power, so I agree with you. It was nice seeing Ethan think quicker on his feet on this one, I have no doubt that was due to all the extra training he's been getting in collage, to become a top level wrecker operator. I know Ron is proud of his son, and so am I.
Rotator is a lot bigger/heavier--if you don't actually need to lift something-use a stick truck. At the end of the month a lot cheaper to operate.
Mr. Pratt's quizzing and guidance is creating a master in an incredibly difficult trade. Great team !
Ethan doesn't get in a hurry, calm cool & collected.
Congratulations Ron, Ethan, and the rest of the Mid-West Family on the new truck.
Poor bloke if he was told that's the way the trucks go, with ground that soft once he was already in it he was stuffed. I get why once he went through the first part he kept going, look how it nearly rolled coming back he would have felt that on the way in. Glad people like you can help him I'm sure he will be embarrassed for awhile but we are human no one was hurt or building damaged!
Certainly not his fault. That company is 100% liable for the treacherous road condition. They know what kind of traffic has to drive where. Its their responsibility to accommodate appropriately. Shame on them.
Daylight, no rain, no wind, no ARC enemy, no traffic and room to work.
No injuries and no damaged vehicles or buildings.
A clean truck is not working and paying for itself.
A lot to be thankful for.
Hmmm... this is a walk down memory lane for me: Home Service Oil from my beloved hometown Barnhart; Mighty Miss mud slippery as snot and with the suction to pull your boots right off. Ahhh, those were the days!
I was dumping a Loader bucket of gravel out of my trialer one night to clean something out of it. It was dark, and I couldn't see the trialer tires I got out of the truck to go see if the trialer that cleaned out and the tail gate had got on another pile of gravel and all 8 tires on the trailer was off the ground and it was Is leaning to one side. I ran back up to the truck and pushed the down button. It came back down, right. That was as close as I came to turning an end dump over in the 9 years I pulled one. That happened at the start of the time I was pulling an end dump. That made me watch things a lot closer when I was dumping the dark.
Great job, guys.
Stay safe, and God bless you'll.
Dan 🇺🇸
Thanks Guys.
I hope You guys are Faring well through the Bad storms down there...

Today I was the idiot, but thanks to your many wonderful videos, I knew immediately to cut my losses and call a tow company. The operator came out, assessed the situation, took my suggestions under advisement, video-chatted one of his coworkers to further advice, skillfully got my vehicle out of a predicament, and then charged me a price that could not be beat. Ron, sorry to tell you, but you are not the only awesome worker in the business. :)
Last week i was out and about near your fair city and saw the new majestic beast out in the wild. Sure put a smile on my face.
This is one I can see with your guy's job is the fact how many things can get frustrating Ron. That was one very stuck there on that gravel.
Good job Ethan hope you become as wonderful as your dad and remember it's mother's day ❤
2:45 Don't let Matt from Diesel Creek see all those old trucks sitting around - he'll be there with his checkbook open and his wife trying to steal his pen.
Or Derek at Vice Grip Garage. He'd be fixing one up to haul three more.
Good morning Ron and Ethan...!
Good job Ethan! Maybe some walkie talkies for the new truck too?
Ron ,Ethan thank God that tanker didn't hit that post it would have turned really bad then. Thank god u two did not get stuck. Keep up the good work and God bless 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Ethan and his safety "brain bucket" brings a big smile to my face each and every time I see him in it! It is very comforting to see a young man who is responsible, respectful, and VERY respectable that lives his life maybe about "half a bubble off plumb"!!! You are a very lucky man, Ron Pratt! It does my heart good to see a man who owns a very successful business that has his family members diligently working shoulder to shoulder with him! Ron, I have exactly ZERO doubt that your Dad is looking down on all y'all with a very big, satisfied, and proud smile on his face because he is so very proud of what y'all are doing to prosper and continue to build the company that he built with the help of his own family!!!
I very much enjoy all of your content! I never miss a single episode and typically watch them within 4 to 6 hours of your upload!!!! Thank you for your integrity!!!
Ron , your knowledge and experience is mind blowing.
Too close to the building when he was reversing. Right where it's hardest to get any compaction.
That was as interesting place to send a truck & trailer.
Time to add a com's set into all the trucks 😅
I wonder if there's a way to have the PTO automatically kick out once you reach 5mph. For when you get distracted and forget to kick it out.
Ethan is definitely getting more comfortable and starting to think about the situation more now. I'm proud of him getting more experience with each job. But I'm totally confused why the driver didn't just back out the way he came in with the new construction and mudd. Great job guys and see you on the next one.
Ethan, that was a good thing to point out about releasing tension before walking under the line.
I wonder if you could work on being a bit more polite when talking to customers. Even a "If you could" added to a request would go a long way. (We all have stuff we're working on in life.)
Good jo, guys. May God bless the whole Midwest family!
Ethan, you are always courteous to the customers. Good job.
The way you are working is Amazing.
No matters how many maneuvers are necessary, the most important thing is : succeding towing without breaking truck.
Time is money ,,sure, but rushing may cost a lot !
I was driving my car through your country a few days ago, crossing the Mississippi at Cairo. During those storms, on both trips. There was a notable rise in the River level in between the crossings. Then in Texas as ia gto close to home there was a tractor that had left the road and lost its front axle. It seemed to be a struggle to get that truck free from the ditch. Thankfully it was upright and the cab was intact. So presumably no injury.
Boy, that was a good one! Ethan is getting better each time out! Poor Ron almost fell down. This guy is probably thinking about not getting that delivery too soon. That company should have had the ground better suited for a delivery. Nice fishing in those pits one day. We used to fish in old quarrys years ago in Illinois.
I think Ron had another Pratt fall.
Right about that!! They ned thirty more loads of gravel spread and compacted before bringing any traffic in--but like most companies-don't want to spend the coin. Ain't their problem.
Ron,it's nice to see father and son working side by side. Lost my dad back in 1956 . Great job fellas
Great solutions to each new problem that arose. I really enjoyed seeing the new truck in action. Thank you.
You are a great Dad and encouraging Ethan to think outside the box is good, he really needs a pair of braces on his trousers! Thank you for a great video.
what a mess.....great work Ron as always, Ethan is doing just fine, especially for only 20 y/o. 18 worked just fine.....really nice unit...I am sure Ethan is proud to have his name on the door..... I am an old driver with over 3 million miles....your statement of " just a quick winch.....ALWAYS REMEMBER "MURPHY" !!! What can go wrong, will go wrong....I am speaking from experience..LOL God bless you all, be safe thank you for the videos
You handle that just like what you are. A professional. B SAFE 🚒💨💨💨💨
Todays video reminded me of the song, On Christ the solid rock I stand All other ground is sinking sand. Mud and loose gravel just don't get-r-dun.
That truck is a awesome addition to your fleet that truck is a beast
Pucker factor=9.8 on that one! Liquid loads are tricky even without the soft ground. Nicely done, guys!
Good job! You scared me on that one. Have a DRY weekend Ron!
Great video Ron! An editing suggestion for future videos where you've got multiple perspectives, put some sort of note on-screen while you're using someone else's perspective. It took Ethan speaking to the driver for multiple minutes for me to realize it was his perspective (and from then on I knew to check for his cowboy hat in shadows after each cut), but newer viewers might not realize either of those.
Still definitely have some growing pains from the new truck, I think every video since delivery has revealed at least one solvable problem - no PTO alarm, missing traffic control devices, no zipties on rimslings, etc - but given a few more months to work out all the kinks, I expect this will be an incredibly capable unit in your fleet!
Thanks for a super interesting video this time around.
It was interesting and entertaining to watch.
Wow. Little bit of excitement there when that gasoline trailer started to rock into that building post. Wow.
But it stopped in time and you got him out of there.
Nice work Ron and Ethan. Took a bit to get that truck and trailer out of that soft ground and back on the road.
You both take care and be safe.
The retired Air Force veteran.
Should have locked the rears in and power devider BEFORE you ever hit wet ground--but I know you know this, Ron. Glad you got your truck set up that way. Always make sure you un-lock them before hitting hhard ground.
Ethan just needs the experience-getting stuck once/twice will teach you-walk the area first! Always-Never take another person's WORD for the conditions...
Ron I'm glad you mentioned COMs. I was thinking the same thing on that long whinch. Need to get that set of COMs put in that truck ASAP.
I was so nervous watching this that I had to pause and take a break. You guys did a great job.
I got neverious watching this. I thought for sure the tank was rolling over.
Quite a lesson for Ethan. He listens and has a good teacher.
Morning Ron! Always a good watch and a good way to start the day!
What a beautiful rig, great seeing Ethan at the controls too. Been a long time viewer and the progression Ethan has made is a great sight to see, definitely a bonus having a father and mentor like you Ron. God Bless.
One of the best videos I've seen in long time
Good luck pulling it
MY!!! MY!!! MY!!! WHAT A MESSS!!! Safely done and no more damage, except for the ground ruts, which couldn't be helped.
Ron, you're one cool cat, I think this shouldn't be happening... Just one giant mud pit.... Don't mess up the landscaping...👍😯😞😄
Great to see Ethan back in the seat and over his spell of rough health. Another fine example of Father and Son getting it done. Brilliantly executed.
I’m an O/O. I know the feeling of being all excited the rig is nice and clean, 20 mins later Mother Nature decides to have her own car wash, lol
This gives a whole new meaning to "Being dragged through the mud"
WHAT A CHALLENGE!!! It worked out great though, Ron you are teaching Ethan the right way, slow and easy wins the race. It also gives you time to think out the situation before a catastrophe happens, like the one you that almost happened. GREAT JOB GUYS!!!!! WELL DONE!!
Word of the day-- " over 10 years old MUD PIES are NO FUN"... :) GREAT VIDEO... great job!!
They can still be fun - as long as you are entertaining someone younger than 10 years old.
Ron that's a good looking Western Star like the knew graphics you should restore your Dad's old Western Star you don't find old wreckers Luke that hardly anymore
Great job to both of y’all.
My oh My! What a doozy of recovery this one was!! Always a great video to witness Father Ron and hson Ethan working side by side getting together to get the job completed safely and efficiently. As a Towing & Recovery Operator myself. It brings me such great joy to watch Ethan grow into such a professional and passionate Operator such as his Father Ron. Ron I know that your Father is up there in Heaven smiling down with such great happiness to know that you are doing such a superb job teaching his grandson the profession. Job well done! 🙏🏼❤🤍💙🇺🇸🫡😎
Awesome! Reminds me of doing tow and recovery jobs with my dad when I was younger.
Those hydraulics are much faster on this wrecker. Good job Ethan,
Hi everyone I see Ethan has go pro on his cowboy hard hat from camera I see the view in this one from his hat. Be safe out there.
I noticed the views changing a couple of times.
I have been watching your video's a long time . That was the first time I ever was like ohhh noooo when I seen them tires sink and the tanker tilt. Very lucky..The good Lord was watching out for you. (Job well done .)
Ron I am the same way when did Auto Repair, I always loved A Good Challenge. Yes Perseverance is the best word for the day. 😎
I didn't realize Ethan was only 20. I have been watching the channel for quite a while now and remember him from a little boy but just the wealth of knowledge he already has is so impressive and seems beyond his years. He does have a great teacher though. Great job Ethan.
Hey Ron, have you considered getting a big safety orange tarp with reflective silver lettering MOVE OVER SLOW DOWN, that could be strapped or magnetically put on the back of a trailer for blind recoveries like last weeks?
This is the first I seen Ron in the passenger seat just relaxing and not driving. I'm waiting for Ron to let it out with some good ol words of seeing that trailer rock side to side like that. That will make you sweat real quick. Ethan have good sense of humor. ^^;;; But you get the job done one way or another and safely.
You got that right!
I slid in mud several times the whole rig will slide it can even with the wheels straight.
Having chunky grippy floaters or not it’ll still slide in the mud in certain conditions.
I own and have drove trucks that had locking both axle drive.
Well, at all times both axles turn.
The lock locks em.
Doesn’t allow them to freely spin. Yall know.
Tires that size are bound to slide in the mud. This Star got nice looking floaters in the front they look like Michelins which I have on my trucks now.
On my dump truck and my tractor. I’ll be putting them on my other dump truck soon. They have a nice tread pattern and they are a nice size.
Highly recommend Hankooks floater tires as well
Good Year workhorse floaters I have ran as well are decent
Super nice job guys Nice driving Ethan. God Bless You Both.
It's not the first time you've had to take 3 'bites' at the 'apple'! That said, this one must have been the most challenging. Well done in averting a potential rollover. That post probably would've come off second best! Overall, a difficult, and potentially dangerous, task completed without major incident and another stranded trucker pulled out of a sticky situation. Indeed, comms would have helped and, maybe, having another vehicle, eg the rotator, on scene. Nevertheless, well done Ethan and Ron in getting the job done. Ron and Ethan, you should both be proud of each other for knowledge (Ethan) and excellent teaching (Ron). Greetings from the UK. God bless.
Ron U & Ethan did a great job even tho it turned into a little bit of a difficult job. God bless
That was a great recovery even though it was a nail biter! Stay safe!
Oh Ron I would be refusing to drop off there until the company does something to enable the heavy vehicles to access safely. This is ridiculous. Both you & Ethan are doing wonderfully. Love to you all. x😊
Ron, that's a great looking wrecker. I bet your son is a happy camper.
I can’t quite imagine what that tanker driver was thinking looking at that mud the way it looks thinking it would be safe to drive through there.. I pull food grade tanker trailers. And if there is any kind of soft looking questionable dirt on the way to the delivery site I won’t drive through it. And if I can’t deliver because of the mud in the way to the delivery site, then that’s on the customer not on me.
That was a little scary. Great job Eathan and Ron. you are doing a great job.
Need to get a set of radios to stay in this truck. I know they're expensive but well worth the money when being able to communicate with each other.
Another great job by the Pratt men.
I feel that you trusted a driver who didn’t read the ground once , not to get stuck again and again,
Awesome video keep up with a great work and be safe out there.
Great job guys. Well done Ethan.
That new Western Star is a sweet outfit
I sure enjoy watching your videos you guys know what you are doing and you and your crew are hard workers God Bless you all
Ron I would definitely say there was an angel looking over this driver good job Ethan
nice job guys
Another Happy Customer 😊
I say, word of the day, determination!
Throw a handful of stones into a swamp and drive a semi across it - great idea.
Nice recovery, well done Ron & Ethan.
Mr Ron Ethan did a awesome job. Thanks for sharing and stay safe
Hello from Alabama
WOW looking good 👍😊
Spectacular job 😊😊😊
Just watching this video got my heart pumping faster when that tractor sank and the trailer started to rock!!
Good job Ron and Ethan
The drivers first try was a butt puckering experience
Good job guys.
Great job Ethan 👏 yeah 👏 Ron my gosh I was yelling Noooo, trailer was tilting , It's just me watching and So involved in your video, thank God 😊 great out come yeah 😊
