My niece reminded me of the accident she had in MO. On a Friday afternoon, leaving KU headed east, an air brake unit from a passing tractor trailer dropped off and proceeded to bounce into the windshield of her car. She was taken to a nearby small town, her wounds administered to by a local Dr. Her car was taken to a local garage and a new windshield ordered. That weekend she stayed with an older local couple and ate gratis at the local diner. She was back on the road Tuesday noontime. She is now teaching at Wichita State. We and her are thankful to the folks of MO who helped her so many miles from home. Narragansett Bay
Some of the benefits of working side by side is you not only learn how each station runs but what each crew members role or job is on any scene all while watching everyone’s 6.
Only those who work these professions can truly understand the benefits and Comradery.
Thanks so much your awesome. Stay safe Ron and crew and Family 🤙🏽
For the people who are reading this, SLOW DOWN MOVE OVER!!!!!!.
The fact that the rear window popped out but didn't break amazes me! 16:52
I think it had to been a plexiglas replacement
It is heartwarming to see such a good relationship between all the responders. Awesome.
More often than not, that is the case. Here, the officers know the fire dept can make it hard on them if them give them crap, and vice versa. Also, pretty much the same goes for the recovery crews. In our area, unless specifically requested by the owner, the recovery companies have his or her own territory as the fire departments do. So, you pretty much work with the same companies all the time. But in short, yes, its normally this way.
Awesome to see cooperation. There's literally a trooper that's not afraid to get his hands dirty.
Some times they take the attitude, you're getting paid to be there, and they're volunteers. They're good around here too. I'ts a pleasure to work in a community like that
j n.v
That's a great trooper. He worked the scene from start to finish. Around here you'll see them pull up, get some info and sit in their patrol car in the AC watching something on their laptop or playing on their phone until you tap on the window and let them know the scene is clear.
Here they don't even stay that long . They roll off about 5 minutes after we get there
He had everything imaginable tool you could think of. And then the weapon showed up. That Trooper has a keen eye. Good job Ron. Prayers for the driver. God Bless You, and as always, BE SAFE!
Textbook example of everyone cheerfully working together. major bonus points there.
Even after a bad roll over, she still manages a smile in true Ford fashion, at the end of the time lapse sequence, right at the camera. Got to just love those Ford Trucks, I will definitely have a moment of silence for her.
You rolled that so nice, we had to watch it twice!
I absolutely love the way you communicate with the first responders and employees. Clear and precise. Also love how you ask for prayers and well wishes.
Love how the volunteer fire department blocked the roadway with their truck for you. Good job guys
Cop says, “you can have the road for a half hour, hour.” Maximum time is about 8 minutes, another silly cop.
Good job man.
Nothing is better in life than eating popcorn while watching a Ron Pratt video.
Fortunately, no cornstalks were seriously injured in the crash. Sadly, however, a large patch of grass will need an undetermined amount of therapy to fully recover. 😜 Gotta see the humor and be thankful an irreplaceable life wasn't lost this day. Thank you for another great video Mr Pratt! God bless🙏
That's so corny lol
You help the towing company and emergency services, Thank you for all you done to help us. Be safe. Also that must be a complicated job lol
Ron, Can't imagine why you think the truck is totaled? A cut here, a tap there, a hydraulic press...everywhere. Great video Ron!!
Big thumbs up prayers to the people that were in that truck glad they're okay keep praying that they heal up fine they look like they were real lucky how the driver was real lucky is that truck is totaled great job cleaning up the same with lots of help everybody working as a team even the trooper great job thanks for sharing God bless
I gotta say, after watching your videos, the police around you are awesome. I've never seen a cop here in Ohio lift a finger to help like this one did. Definitely one of the good ones.
It was nice of the fire crew to help as well.
Some of the cops and most of the firefighters are pretty good about helping where I am. Where I used to live they never helped.
Police and Fire do this stuff every day. You just don't see it
Absolutely Love the Roll Back trucks, Incredibly universal for many situations! Our company bought a used one just to move a forklift from one shop to another, but we quickly discovered all the other things we could use it for, I'ts Awesome!
What a mess to clean up. Glad you got some help picking it all up. I look forward to all of your videos. God Bless you.
Thank God the driver is OK. Excellent job Ron. You probably ended dead tired after picking up all of the junk from the pick up truck. God bless 🙏🙏
I love this shit man my dad been towing since he was 18 and he's going on 50 still driveing that truck
Thank you Ron, fast turn around I'm glad the Driver was ok 👍
The farmer in me cant help but take an inventory of the weeds they're dealing with down there 😂
It's totally amazing that the driver was not seriously injured. I have been a volunteer firefighter for 20 years and I am so glad. Stay safe RON thank you for posting the video
Thank you for a job well done Ron. Your care and compassion is first rate. You truly care about your work, and it shows.
It’s like seeing my world! I used to work for a forklift dealer and did that kind of unload a few times with our small truck, and I drive a pickup almost exactly like the rolled one. Thanks for the video Ron!
Ron I just recently started working for a company doing towing and recovery and I just wanted to thank you so much for these vidyas I have learned so much from watching you and how its step by step keep up the great work sir and god bless
Love watching his videos. But what about the other guy? Does he have a RUclips channel? An why did you turn this truck around. Why not just block off road an load it the way it rolled? You had to block off road anyway.
I think it's awesome to see that everyone helps and works together to solve this kind of accident.
I've seen others where, for example, fire brigades and police work against each other.
I think it shows the respect the other crews have for Ron and what he offers them in return. It looks like an excellent working relationship. That doesn't happen by accident!
No power lines, no rain, no mud - you got it so easy !! ☺
When your cable show coming out , i could watch this all the time
Your rapport with the first responders is wonderful. It's making life better for everyone. Best regards.
I kept yelling TIE THE DRIVER'S DOOR SHUT but I'm about 30 miles away and there was some background noise.
Good fast safe cleam recovery.
Yea l saw that also.
You make it look so easy. Stay safe out there and God bless.
Ya know, I was recently in an accident (no injuries to either party) totaled my full size truck... it amazing to see what you all deal with.... everyday! Thank you!!
I think I know what went wrong in that accident. That truck is older. And judging by how it honked its horn when you turned it around, I think its reactions were a little slow...Or a lot slow...
That milk-crate would have made a good scoop for the stuff in the bed by the way.
Also, you know you have the respect of a trooper when you ask if you can have the road for 5 minutes to make it easier and he says: "You can have it for half an hour, an hour if you need". He knows Ron Pratt isn't here to just look at the job, he's here to get it done! And real helpful firecrew. Just love seeing that. Good people working together.
Great video as always sir. Always thought I was the only person strange enough to be addicted to ice breakers....then I found your channel. Glad to be in good company lol
God bless
That rollover was a thing of beauty and grace ;) !
That time when the tools in the back of your truck become worth more than the truck itself!!
Remember the old Ford Pinto? Had a bad habit of burning when hit from behind, Friend had one. Had a bumper sticker said tailgate with caution - have a full gas tank
Ha! I double the value of my old truck, just by filling the gas tank!
@@surlyogre1476 lol
My work truck is like that anyways. If I rolled it over, even more
@@rogerdavies6226 I had several Beans never once did they ignite. The first one really SUCKED in the snow though.
Nice to see agencies work together.
Thanks for posting "Slow Down- Move Over" When I'm on duty directing traffic I'd say 90% people in my state do. But some people you have to keep reminding them
Love watching you work Mr. Pratt, an applied physics lesson on every video!
Good work Ron, love the videos and really appreciate how you try and do every single job as safe and efficiently as possible. meeting you in person down in cape earlier this year was great, from one tow op to another stay safe and always watch your six. god bless - Jon Tow Op in St Charles MO
The flipping over of the truck reminded me of about 20 years ago when I was parting out an 87 E250 van. I wanted the 300-6 engine but wanted an easier way to remove it than out through the front. So I unbolted every body to frame bolt except the two by the front bumper. Then I pushed the front of the van up to a large tree, ran a tow strap around the tree up at 10-12 feet then ran a large chain down to the hole in the roof near the back doors and looping it back to itself.
With my F150 hooked up to the frame it took 2-3 tries to accomplish the body frame separation. I wish I could have gotten it on video as the body basically hinged at the front bumper and lifted up and off, landing upside down. With the body off it was much easier to get to the engine and transmission.
I looked for this ending music name from the first time I saw the Midwest Truck video and finally solved it today. Thank you for always sharing. God bless you
Another professional job. Always a pleasure to watch you work and to see the level of respect shown by all. Thank you.
Seeing the FD not only STOP the traffic for your safety, but actually physically BLOCK the traffic when you needed it, that's collegiality that should be everywhere.
It's their job
Those milk crates would've been handy schlepping the small stuff.
Those looked like real milk crates and not "milk crate styled storage boxes" which means they are stolen property belonging to the dairy.
@@richardhiskett5422 Guilty as charged!
Richard Hiskett years, ago, we were working in the compressor room,,in back of an A&P supermarket,,when we heard s vehicle stop, those bastards took 60 milk crated, square ones for gallons , we got the license plate, and turned it in,,because WE were always being told thaWE ALWAYS STEAL THEM , STORE MGR CALLED THENPOLICE,,WHOM ARRESTED THEM, THERE ARE CONTAINER STORES WHOM NOW SELL THESE, BUT THERE are no names, and various colours, but why buy,,when they are just there for the taking Cheers From NJ🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Greetings and Blessings again from Cardington Ohio .... Thank you for sharing another well-done, well executed job. The efficiency and cooperation among all workers onsite is outstanding ..... and it's present every time! Thankful that the driver is ok! God's Blessings to you, your family and the staff at Midwest. Blessings to each of the many viewers and subscribers as well. May His Hand of protection be upon you in all that you do. Thank you again for another great video.
Glad everyone was ok. Great video as always. Have a blessed time till the next video.
Ron, What you need is a pick up stick to pick up that small stuff. I volunteer myself in my county assisting the local Emergency Services, Law Enforcement, and the NC Highway Patrol and the general traveling public as providing safety for the traveling public best I can.
I use my personal truck more as a Utility vehicle because I have a solid tri-fold cover over the bed. In the back ( bed ) I have a lot of stuff to use in a situation such as that. I have a street broom, wheeled magenet, colapsible traffic cones, toe strap ( seldomed used ) and a lot of other stuff. When I see stuff in the road, I try as safely as possible stop and block traffic with my truck with the amber light bar on and hazzards, and if I can call the EOC advising I have debris in the road and I will get it up. We all work as a team. Me as a Retired Firefighter, that's what we done...work together.
About a year ago, I was heading home and there was a lot of debris in the travel lane blocking all that lane and traffic was crossing over in the other lane to doge the mess. There could had been a serious crash if nothing was done.
I stopped my truck in that lane in front of the debris blocking all traffic, got out, put on my High visible traffic vest, went to back of my truck and got my street broom and swept the stuff off the lane of travel, then got my magent and picked up lots of screws and nails. then I reopened the lane to let traffic flow. Yes, I done all this alone. No Law Enforcement was in that area then. At least I used my Firefighting skills on a crash scene in that incident. That is why I mentioned about having a pick up stick. It'll make it a lot easier to pick up all that small stuff and reduce the risk of cutting your hand although good gloves are great but they can protect only so much. I know because I been there and it's no fun being cut. This video made me think about what I encountered. I wanted to share that with you in this long comment.
No matter what the situation, or incident, be safe out there you and your crew. You are best what you do and I know those you have helped were blessed to have you there.
Always keep God first in all things.
God bless.

15:15 Horn goes off for a sec 😂
MAX_GV it was for respect the of the owner, that the Ford truck gave its all to protect the Driver! Had it been a Chevy or a Dodge there would be no response.
never ceases to amaze me all the ways you use those snatch blocks on the rollback. a really good idea. i guess with experience you could take on just about any job with just a rollback. really cool!
Thanks Ron. Been watching your videos.
I like how respectful you are of everyone and how collaboratively you all work together. And I resolved to do better in this regard for myself.
Ron. nice video, we say in Holland: Many hands make light work.
sietze50 Nice saying
My Dad use to say that a lot too. haha.
@sietze50 Niet alleen in Holland, ook in de rest van Nederland hoor.
Hopefully everyone is ok with the second situation god bless as always Ron
As always, your experience made these two jobs look easy. You are a true professional at what you do. Thanks for sharing.
Found your channel 2 weeks ago,I'm in the uk and really like watching your challenges, stay safe .
Truck's just being safe. "Honk! I'm comin' over!"
Glad to hear the driver was OK! I have heard of someone getting a cab from a junk yard and doing a swap on one of those older trucks. Left the motor mounted on the frame and everything. Got it back on the road, running and working to this day.
My son's truck was wrecked and they put a new cab on the frame.Also,other son rebuilt a bronco frame with a new body in our driveway one year.
Brian Thompson that’s what you have to love about these old trucks they can get into a pretty bad accident but there’s so many of them it’s not hard to fix simpler built ford tough
Sick with a cold but still crawled out of bed long enough to watch the video...Stay safe!!
Best wishes for a quick recovery and back on your feet real soon.
Ron , you Are the Yoda of recovery, and My Prayers are Always with You and the crew And the people that has been involved, God Speed Brother .
Thanks again Ron for a double job in one video, had a nice view of the tread on the wheels from your helmet cam. God Bless.
I'm glad the driver was alright although he maybe lost his 10mm socket and also great video as always Ron!
I nabbed it during corn harvest.... I was driving the combine when all of a sudden, out the corner o my left eye there it was a 10mm socket!!!
Hi sir Ron i had some sad news on the 7th of this month that my mum passed away god bless u & ur family
My sympathies to you in your time of loss. May God bless and keep you.
sorry 4 your loss :(
@@RonPratt Thank u very much mate
You three guys sound like little kids,
Me 1st no me 1st. So who cares!!😥😥
Sorry for your lost. bless you and family .
As ever Ron, quick / safe and professional.👍🇮🇲
you were so fast at flipping that truck! Amazing!
Bet there was a 10mm socket that went missing that day
They are all on permanent vacation in some far away land
That’s just not right, extremely funny though. 😂😂
What is a "10 mm" socket...and why would it go missing??
Its always the 10...
@@fightdhr8866 yup, why i have like 15 of the damn things, find them in tool bins at thrift stores and pawnshops. but iusnt a 3/8 close to ten mm when the need arises?
Great work as always Ron! Great to see the rapport you’ve built with the troopers and FD. Keep safe and god bless sir!
Dang everyone seems so nice in the Midwest. Even the cop was helping. You’d never see that in my city. Respect!!
mate these videos are just awesome, so educational, and somehow soothing, youtube obviously likes these too, i've never watched anything to do with tow trucks or ever heard of your channel, but youtube recommended 5 of your videos to me until i watched the log truck roll over from a few weeks ago, i'm hooked already, keep up the great work mate!
"They don't make them like they used to."
Yeah, if it had been my dad's 72 Ford F-150, Ron could have just rolled that sucker back over and dad could have driven it home. LOL
no lie though a new cab for that truck easy to find and that truck be on the road in a weekend
True. my dads done cab swaps on old fords like this. And they are quite cheap to buy.
Which music?
Hell, I've got a cousin who would cut the roof off and just use it in good weather.
Very fast, pro and clean job. Well done and solute to you Ron
Ron thank you for sharing with us GOD bless everyone
Forklifts and Fords and flippin, oh my.
Watching this, it would seem like you know what your doing. Ha ha. Great job like usual.
Another good video Ron got the forklifts unloaded and then got the wreck cleaned up
Wow that driver sure had a lot of stuff to clean up hope when came to your shop to get everything he brought plenty of boxes to put everything in
Hope you your family and the Midwest crew have a good weekend and stay safe out there
Hey Ron...I like alot how you do your videos! As a wrecker driver as well...i have some crazy calls and you never know what your gonna get... Absolutely love my job..You are reallly good at what you do and thanks so much for taking the time to do it....I gotta say working the big wrecker looks a bit intimidating but you handle it like a pro...Good Job brother.
Ron You Sir are a master of geometry when it comes to rigging! Archimedes would be very proud of you!
When they started cleaning up the stuff from the bed of the truck I thought “with as much crap that’s in there, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a gun in that pile”. 2 min into cleaning it up, trooper finds a revolver lol
Yes & officer has to give hand guns or guns back regardless or it's thrift of a firearm. Plus he has to run numbers make sure it's registered & legal
Any idea what it was ? It looked small in his hand.
it looked like it was already on the ground before the crash though, it was rusted over
You know it's a farm truck when you can't remember how many guns were in it before the wreck.
And yes, I've answered "do you have any weapons in the car?" with "you know damn well I do Ken. What do you need?"
that was some pretty work righting that truck. its a blessing that the driver was ok, that wreck looked vicious.
Ron, you are amazing. You make a job like this look “easy”. Nice to have help from the firemen, that’s a mark of respect.
Love the rattling of chains.
when you drive a ford its always nice to have tools
As always another great video Ron.
Thank God the driver wasn't hurt bad.
Talk about a bunch of crap that came out of the bed of the truck. It's always a great day when you have really good bunch of people to work with.
Keep the great videos coming.
Thanks for sharing and God bless
What a cleanup job !! Wow, even the Trooper helped out !! Amazing !!!
That trooper is a good guy for helping. You wouldnt see that in california. Thankfully, i dont live there
Not true most CHP officers are great and help and are courteous and just the best
Shame. The underside of that truck looked pretty much rust free. Actually looked like a good old truck
arcflashed That was my thought too. Even though I'm a GM square body guy, I've owned a few Fords like that and they were good trucks. I sincerely wish the owner good luck finding a replacement for that F-250 at a reasonable price.
Glad it wasn’t a 7.3 I have a prestige one in the garage
Well maintained for sure new rad new hoses new shocks
Just cut the roof and the B-pillars and sell it in Florida.
@@MikeBrown-ii3pt just need a good cab.lol
I love watching the professional do his job. Flipping the truck was easy peasy. The hard part was picking up all that stuff. Always love your videos and look forward to watching them.
Use to run tow truck for mcquaid trucking miss the work love your show and got some new knowledge on how you tow and pull on some of your on rollovers thanks and God bless
Executed job well done and it shows. Bless you.
I wish I lived closer, I would buy that truck & put my 1995 150 body on that frame
Ron,
Thank you for taking us on the road with you. Closet to the country we can get.
brings back memories dfw area, recovering accidents off the 820 and 360 dn there. this was a 2 lane road, didnt have to worry about rubberneck's but people are crazy in dfw. nice to watch, be safe.
I've been thinking on your comment about needing to reorganize the toolboxes again. On the rollback trucks, would shallow vertical chain and strap boxes located above the bed be a good addition? I'm picturing something out near the edge of the bed but inside the headache rack width so as not to impede vision, about cab height and maybe the 16" or so wide (about the width of the winch tray area), and maybe 8" or so deep. Would they get in the way of the payload too often? Given how well the chain carousel on the Rotator works, these would be stationary and smaller variant that could help keep things organized. Yes, I design equipment for a living and try to come up with tools and systems that make things easier to work with.
PICKING ALL THAT UP REMINDS ME OF GOING DUMPSTER DIVING :)
Hello one and all. I enjoy your videos. Keep up the the good work. Smile and God Bless you all. I look forward to seeing more.
One of your most professional skills that gets the least attention is your outstanding driving. I taught driving for years and you, sir, are a master.
you're lucky all that stuff was dumped in one spot, it could have been flung out into the corn field.
When Ron asked the Trooper for the condition of the driver and he said 'fine'- Ron should have said "well see, Prayers DO WORK!"
Nice to see cooperation like that, mind you are always respectful towards people.
Great jobs as always good to hear driver was ok
