ok. i already had serious respect for you and the work you do, but when you said "it's ok. I know you're afraid of heights. On the side of the road is not the place to face that" and then you started climbing yourself, that is what a great boss is. I can imagine the job is stressful enough. Much respect for not adding unnecessary stress to the employee.
Always a pleasure to see and hear you work. You make it look so easy! It takes a lot of force to rip out a truck axle. I have seen in 1975 in UK the result of a compact car running under the rear of a trailer, until it hit the rear axle. Its roof was peeled back like a sardine can. Never forgotten.
Ron, you show great courtesy and care for your worker and reducing his stress while he is learning. you make a challenging job so much better with your care well done
That's the one thing I truly admire about Ron. He doesn't just show respect to the clients and victims, but his crew as well. He treats them right and works with them.
25 years ago I got called to a wreck on an icy interstate S curve. Semi had lost control and the car next to it ended up under the trailer, roof flat to the top of the dash. Car driver was an off duty State Patrol officer. He saw it coming and laid down in the seat just before the roof come down. Other than some scrapes, glass cuts and a bruised knee he walked away once we got the semi off the car and they cut him out. It's amazing what we drivers see over a couple decades in the business for sure. Some of it is definitely not for the weak. The only ones that ever got to me was if there were kids involved.
In the movie "The Seven-Ups" that was done to end a car chase generally considered the best in movie history. Car drove at high speed into a parked trailer. Flattened the top to the rear pillar and the car bounced back a few feet. Cut to the interior of the car - Roy Scheider groggy and brushes glass off himself. Stunt driver was Bill Hickman, who also directed the car chases in French Connection and Bullitt.
Thanks Ron. I worked as a medic for 45 years here in southern Idaho and saw more than my share of mean crashes. I'm the county coroner now and see all of the bad ones. Thanks for the considerations. You're a good man. Keep up the great work sir.
Ron the amount of knowledge you show and offer people on some of these calls really shows your time and experience in the industry bless you and your teams families and stay safe out there
You all do a great job. Thank you for all you do Ron & crew. The driver of the other vehicle was VERY LUCKY to have survived. That was a very bad wreck.
Thank you for cutting out the not-so-family-friendly parts. As a (former) voluntary fire dept member myself, I've seen enough of those and really do not need a reminder. I'm always looking forward to those friday Pratt videos.
Wow that was a lot of brunt force to drive that tire and axle back like that! And to survive it is just God’s mercy! Ron you guys did a great job on decking that trailer! 👍❤️🙏
the brief looks we got of the car, so glad we did not get more of that part. That looked bad. Great work with the flatbed. Damaged parts always seem to love being difficult. Your rigger seems eager to learn and showed they were unsure about the initial hook placement. glad they admitted it and showed gratitude when corrected (confirmed they had the right sense about it.) May you all have many easy jobs after this.
Goodmorning Ron...! Thank you for all your awesome videos...! If it weren't for your videos, we would most likely never know what you guys go through...! Just so dangerous and unreal what you all experience and go through for your life's work...! It's real and it definitely does happen and thank God we have awesome folks like yourselves and your crew and all the recovery crews out there...! Thank you, every day...! Stay safe...!
My prayers to the driver of the vehicle I pray he or she is not seriously injured ! Ron as always you and your family and crew did a very professional job and you always keep safety in mind ! This means a lot when your doing a job of any kind especially when dealing with equipment and traffic ! God Bless you all !Please pray for all those effected here in Tennessee , North Carolina , Georgia , Florida and others places as we are trying to recover from Hurricane Helena !
20 years ago, a cousin of mine was killed by a very similar accident (he ran under the trailer of a semi-trailer that was trying to u-turn on a road like this one). The person in the passenger car was *very* lucky to survive...I know exactly what kind of injury my cousin had and it was not a pretty way to go out. So thank you for cutting that part, looking at a car with that kind of damage would have been difficult for me.
That was one very LUCKY driver. Good job getting the trailer on the other trailer. Training a new worker with good instructions. Yeah, when I was younger, I could go up on high roofs no sweat now at 80 doctors tell me to stay off ladders.
Ron thank you for being respectful to the accident victims. You are a great teacher. I always enjoy watching your videos and learning. My dad was a firefighter and emt. So this stuff like this all to familiar. God bless you and be safe.
Bring the hooks down from the truck, has the old saying. Work smarter than harder. I am glad you could post this. Allways better when everybody lives to see more days.
I work in power generation manufacturing, and I do all my own lifts. They told us to hook the hook so if it breaks the cable or chain swings in toward the center instead of out possibly hitting someone. If it's hooked up through or down through, always hook up through so if it breaks the cable or chain hits the ground instead of flying up into the air. I hope that helps someone. God bless you all!
I would like to thank you for all the videos and the respect you give everyone you are the first wrecker company I saw that is able to run lights like yall do I totally understand if you can't show everything I was a volunteer fireman and sometimes showing it all isn't a good thing thank you for what you are able to do keep up the amazing work
Nice job keeping control of your recovery. People that dont wear hardhats with a couple thousand pounds of weight dangling above them are asking for a Darwin award.
Thank you for another life lesson video. Praying all turned out well for the occupants of the red car. I'm imposed with the equipment you have abs all the ringing you carry. Ready for all contingencies. The maintenance that goes into those trucks must be hours. I'd love to see you do an inspection video... how you care for the cables and attachments and other things we viewers take for granted.
Ron, Really fast response by the police/fire and your call up to help with the clean up of the trailer, really hope that the driver will recover from the accident, pretty quickly!!! Ron, much love to you and your family/team!!!! Stay safe in whatever you and your team does on a daily basis!!!! God bless you and your family/team !!!!! Your family member, friend. Bob Compton. from , Maryland 🇺🇸🇺🇸❤❤
Great job Ron it was nice to see that young man admit his fear of hights and yet was willing to try to over come them i personally understand this i over came my fear of high places by becoming a Paratrooper
As a kid I though I had a fear of heights, then I learned it was just the fear of falling.... long as I am at a spot with good footing or tied off. I could care less how high it is now... Like being in a tree to cut some dead branches off on a windy day. Going up that tree had me questioning things, but once i got tied off I could have stayed up there all day....
I was scared of heights as a kid. Got over it in my teens by doing some roofing on both single and two story houses and office buildings. Then in my 20s I was belt sanding the fascia boards on my parents house... The old wooden ladder collapsed under me and I landed on the back steps breaking both arms halfway between the wrist and elbow and injuring my elbows... casts from palm to halfway up the upper arm... couldn't feed myself or wipe for 6 weeks. So I ended up not being afraid of heights, just of old or rickety ladders.
Wow, I hope the lady is ok that looks like a mess. Thank you for not putting in the car and for the bad parts. reminds me of when the semi ran over the top of me and could not get me out. until they could hook up and pull. and I did not even have a scratch one me.
We had one here near Holt, FL that had a car totally under a semi trailer, going in the same direction as the truck. The driver was asleep and the co-driver was driving but as he told the officers was watching his phone. He got charged with manslaughter for not having his vehicle under control, the actual driver got charged for improper supervision of that co-driver (basically in-training).2 people died as a result of the accident.
Love how Ron is so respectful of the families and not showing any of the bad stuff hopefully the individual driving the other vehicle is ok and able to tell the officers what excatly happened keep up the wonderful work and GOD BLESS YOU ALL and please stay safe
Ron again I want to thank you for being respectful to the families of the accident victims. I disagree strongly with utube allowing accidents involving injuries or school buses being showed. Just this week Georgia State Police allowed a the posting of a fatal accident where they showed a close up of the victim with a trooper standing beside them. That is totally wrong and disrespectful.
If you're referring to the video I think you are involving a TRX, then I respectfully disagree - CRIMINALS involved in CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR do not deserve respect. Innocents and just straight up accidents, absolutely, but criminals involved in criminal behavior? Nope. How many criminals running from the police put an untold number of people in mortal danger, and don't care about doing so? It's so fortunate that that CRIMINAL hit a tree (or trees) instead of a minivan with a mother and her children on the way to school. That could have been insurmountably worse. Absolutely ZERO sympathy for 'him' or 'his' family from me. 'He' is where he belongs. And of course different channels have different goals. Ron's channel is just about recovery and such. The other channel is more related to police chases and other police interactions. And when police interact with criminals, you never know where that's going to go.
The guy was all proud how he can run from the police and speed 150 mph he had no care or respect for other people on the road why does he deserve any respect?
Had a family friend get in a similar wreck. Semi made an illegal lane change and her car ended up under the trailer. She barely had time to duck down to avoid losing her head. She was treated for minor injuries at the scene and released. She ended up being treated by her doctor for a minor leg injury but suffered no long term effects from it. There was a guardian angle looking out for her that day for sure.
Often wondered what your minimum safe distance under those power lines are? Glad your are all safe and the driver survived. And with that axle could it be cut loose? Seemed to complicate things
This happened to my dad the a couple weeks ago in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Driver was in a vehicle that was uninsured, expired registration, driver had a suspended lic, and she was driving 65 in a 40. Off duty city cop was one of the witnesses. Luckily for dad he was a witness and also he has cameras. Driver was luckily uninjured.
Hi Ron, I just had an idea for you and your team. When doing any kind of lifting or righting a fallen vehicle, why not buy some whistles. These might help much more if comms were to fail, in a noisy situation, or when comms aren't available.
My prayers go out to the person in car that hit trailer. And also to the truck driver, that all will be fine. Just when you Ron went pass car, I thought the person was dead, I appreciate your concern about putting it on RUclips and well wishes on the behalf. Be with the first responders at the Sean. 😇😇🙏🙏🤲🤲
Regarding a fear of heights.When I was at secondary school I did a lot of back stage work with the school''s technician who had a fear not of heights, not of falling, but a fear of landing!
One thing you could've done to try to pull that axle back in place would've been to grab the hole in the rim with a rim sling or a frame grab chain and then put it either to the frame or the rear axle and then put a binder on it or come-along and pulled the axle back towards the rear axle. The right side moving backwards SHOULD (theoretically) pull the front side back around forwards. I just searched it up to try to find more details on this wreck.. I can't believe none of your local news stations said anything about it, or at least don't have an article online. Holy crap, I didn't notice till you lifted it.. she hit hard enough that she twisted that entire deck. New guy needs to learn about the importance of a brain bucket and not to walk between a suspended load and the truck. A great thing to let air out of valve stems, or even remove the core, is a 1/4 inch common screwdriver, what we always called a tweaker. (because you use it to tweak the carbs on a brit motorcycle, I grew up around Triumphs 65-74) The tip of a knife blade works in a pinch to let the air out too. I'm not afraid of heights, I'm afraid of falling, kind of happens when you had a long term reoccuring dream growing up of going on a water slide and one of the panels falling out and dropping you several stories. (oddly they stopped when I went to "Waterworld", now Sunsplash, and saw that very ride in person and found out some guy had fallen to his death on it the previous year. -.-)
To get that front of the trailer over with the back down on the good trailer, I would think put a chain from the passenger side of the good trailer to the driver side of the wrecked trailer and used a chain binder to move it over.
Al Nothum (Retired) from the MO State Highway Patrol Troop C in St. Louis would Always Mention “Driver Inattentiveness” was 75% to Blame for Accidents. 🤔🙏
@ron Pratt It might have been too much but I wonder if you could have used a chain somewhere in front on the trailer with a snatch block using the winch line to help reposition the torn front axle before chaining, Like I said might have over kill because time is important but, I've watched enough videos to have a little creativity myself but yeah, at the end of the day you to efficient and effective in as short of time possible, It was just a thought, most likely too much effort I don't know
Always interesting to watch what you do. Curious if you could have removed the right side trailer tires after securing that axle up, so that the load wouldn't have been as wide or overhanging. As you say, more than 1 way to get to 10.
ok. i already had serious respect for you and the work you do, but when you said "it's ok. I know you're afraid of heights. On the side of the road is not the place to face that" and then you started climbing yourself, that is what a great boss is. I can imagine the job is stressful enough.

Wow, that Peterbilt 389X with the Miller Industries Century 1150R Rotator is a piece of art!
Ron, you show great courtesy and care for your worker and reducing his stress while he is learning.
you make a challenging job so much better with your care
well done
That's the one thing I truly admire about Ron. He doesn't just show respect to the clients and victims, but his crew as well. He treats them right and works with them.

Hey Ron this could've been more worse as you can see down the hill there is a railroad track down there

The guys at Pepe's towing in Los Angeles must be watching your channel. They've started calling overhead power line their ARC nemesis.
Thanks Ron. I worked as a medic for 45 years here in southern Idaho and saw more than my share of mean crashes. I'm the county coroner now and see all of the bad ones. Thanks for the considerations. You're a good man. Keep up the great work sir.
Ron the amount of knowledge you show and offer people on some of these calls really shows your time and experience in the industry bless you and your teams families and stay safe out there
I always enjoy watching your videos. Love to watch a good man work. God look after the person driving that car. Stay safe Ron.
You all do a great job. Thank you for all you do Ron & crew. The driver of the other vehicle was VERY LUCKY to have survived. That was a very bad wreck.
I love how you help your new helper and your instructions
The one lucky thing was that the trailer was empty. Great job Ron & crew. God bless
Thank you for cutting out the not-so-family-friendly parts. As a (former) voluntary fire dept member myself, I've seen enough of those and really do not need a reminder. I'm always looking forward to those friday Pratt videos.
Thank you for your service!
some people think they want to see this, but in truth they don't actually.
Ron great content; love the way you interact with people just settles everyone down.
As always your videos are awesome. Thank you for caring about the people you go to help and the ones watching

That driver of that car was lucky to survive, that easily could have been a fatal accident. Good job by you and your crew Ron.
ya a liitle more under the trailer and we would not be seeing this video
How cool! Thank the Lord for all parties involved! Prayers from Illinois
Still the same old, legendary intro song track hasn’t changed in years keep up the hard work n battles always fun to watch
Ron thank you for being respectful to the accident victims. You are a great teacher. I always enjoy watching your videos and learning. My dad was a firefighter and emt. So this stuff like this all to familiar. God bless you and be safe.

Except for the car wreck this was an easy job, we like those once in awhile. Thank you Sir for this video
Nice job keeping control of your recovery. People that dont wear hardhats with a couple thousand pounds of weight dangling above them are asking for a Darwin award.
Not a lot that hardhat will do when that couple thousand pounds come crashing down on it......
Mr Ron u r right that sudden stop when u hit the ground is what hurts glad all r ok
Great job Ron. Prayers for the injured🙏🙏
Has it all! a car, a truck, the traffic control vehicle. A train at the end, the sun the rain! all working together it's great to see.
Thank you, Ron, for another video reminding all of us to drive safer and to be kinder. God bless, take care
Always learning from these. Thanks Ron!
I got busy just looking at the camera angles of you looking down on top of those trailers. It's kind of a neat feeling as long as I know.I'm safe.
Thank you for another life lesson video. Praying all turned out well for the occupants of the red car. I'm imposed with the equipment you have abs all the ringing you carry. Ready for all contingencies. The maintenance that goes into those trucks must be hours. I'd love to see you do an inspection video... how you care for the cables and attachments and other things we viewers take for granted.
He's the top best I ever seen around the world keep up the good work
you folks are good!
Thanks for the video Ron and crew.
It was most interesting.
Nice work on a bad accident Ron and crew.
Glad everyone survived.
Thanks Ron.
Hi Ron I just LOVE WATCHING ALL your videos, as soon as you post one I have to watch it before anything else
Cooperation, critical thinking, and respect on both sides. A great video.
Ron, Really fast response by the police/fire and your call up to help with the clean up of the trailer, really hope that the driver will recover from the accident, pretty quickly!!! Ron, much love to you and your family/team!!!! Stay safe in whatever you and your team does on a daily basis!!!! God bless you and your family/team !!!!! Your family member, friend.

I started climbing towers.
As always Ron, you do good work. Keep up the good work 👍
Another great job by you all.

Another outstanding job by you and your team. STAY SAFE OUT THERE.
I like the ways you work with the other truck with loading the trailer.

You have to remember it's Georgia and they aren't the brightest bulb in the lamps of all 50 states.
OMG how awful!1 So disrespectful. Is there no compassion for the victim?

Prayers for the ones in the accident. Thanks for the video
They were extremely lucky and Blessed to survive
Had a family friend get in a similar wreck. Semi made an illegal lane change and her car ended up under the trailer. She barely had time to duck down to avoid losing her head. She was treated for minor injuries at the scene and released. She ended up being treated by her doctor for a minor leg injury but suffered no long term effects from it. There was a guardian angle looking out for her that day for sure.
Oh my Lord, that was a bad crash there. My prayers Good thoughts and Well wishes goes out to the people involved in that Ron.
Had friend that was drunk that ran under the rear of a semi, probably did not even realize it. What a mess and so sad.
Another great job done. Glad to hear the driver is ok.
Always love seeing your videos much love and respect thanks for sharing
A great backer upper!
Bragging about when you were younger scaling box trailers, I was expecting a Pratt fall. LOL
I was expecting him to get one after talking about it..... I am glad he did not fall, do not need him risk getting hurt...
Often wondered what your minimum safe distance under those power lines are? Glad your are all safe and the driver survived. And with that axle could it be cut loose? Seemed to complicate things

Great job well done Ron keep watching your video Keep up the good work
Nice wrecker. Easy lift job. No axles or drive shafts to pull or debris all over the place. Lucky it wasn't a fatal. I hated those.
Great job keep up the great work love your videos thank you
Great video Ron thanks for for sharing prayers for all.
Intro to the video was very suspenseful 🤙🏼
Hi Ron, I just had an idea for you and your team. When doing any kind of lifting or righting a fallen vehicle, why not buy some whistles. These might help much more if comms were to fail, in a noisy situation, or when comms aren't available.
Incredible survival story of the crashed driver, it so easy to imagine a much worse outcome...
Always great work very professional
Well done job that you and your crew did God Bless everyone
My prayers go out to the person in car that hit trailer. And also to the truck driver, that all will be fine. Just when you Ron went pass car, I thought the person was dead, I appreciate your concern about putting it on RUclips and well wishes on the behalf. Be with the first responders at the Sean. 😇😇🙏🙏🤲🤲
Regarding a fear of heights.When I was at secondary school I did a lot of back stage work with the school''s technician who had a fear not of heights, not of falling, but a fear of landing!
Great job Ron!
Great video Ron love it think you and God bless your crew
Good morning Ron. Watching from Tennessee.
Working on a busy highway, have you or your crew ever had a close call? Doing a great job. Thank you for your service to the community.
One thing you could've done to try to pull that axle back in place would've been to grab the hole in the rim with a rim sling or a frame grab chain and then put it either to the frame or the rear axle and then put a binder on it or come-along and pulled the axle back towards the rear axle. The right side moving backwards SHOULD (theoretically) pull the front side back around forwards.
I just searched it up to try to find more details on this wreck.. I can't believe none of your local news stations said anything about it, or at least don't have an article online.

A great thing to let air out of valve stems, or even remove the core, is a 1/4 inch common screwdriver, what we always called a tweaker. (because you use it to tweak the carbs on a brit motorcycle, I grew up around Triumphs 65-74) The tip of a knife blade works in a pinch to let the air out too.
I'm not afraid of heights, I'm afraid of falling, kind of happens when you had a long term reoccuring dream growing up of going on a water slide and one of the panels falling out and dropping you several stories.

Good morning Ron & Family! I'm just about to go out to my first OTR job and I see this pop up on my feed lol, hope it isn't foreshadowing
Good to see new people coming along to learn the trade, where have the other experienced guys gone as not seen them for a long time now.
thats not to bad, ive seen cars spilt in half!!! but i do respect for what you do!!
I love what y'all doing
Thanks again for a great video.
Nice recovery and that car hit that trailer hard. Was kind of close that pickup turning into your yard and the State Patrol car coming down the road.
I seen all of the red suv that I needed to see when you pulled up on it in the roll back. Another good job, Ron.
To get that front of the trailer over with the back down on the good trailer, I would think put a chain from the passenger side of the good trailer to the driver side of the wrecked trailer and used a chain binder to move it over.
U do excellent work Ron & ao does ur crew

@ron Pratt It might have been too much but I wonder if you could have used a chain somewhere in front on the trailer with a snatch block using the winch line to help reposition the torn front axle before chaining,
Like I said might have over kill because time is important but, I've watched enough videos to have a little creativity myself but yeah, at the end of the day you to efficient and effective in as short of time possible,
It was just a thought, most likely too much effort I don't know
Good morning Ron,, my thoughts & orayers goes out to everybody thats working the wreck
Always interesting to watch what you do. Curious if you could have removed the right side trailer tires after securing that axle up, so that the load wouldn't have been as wide or overhanging. As you say, more than 1 way to get to 10.
1:13 I love how that guy in the silver pickup casually turned in front of the cop giving just 3 seconds of space. Nice job. 🙄
