In this episode, Kenny is called to take our #8 Wester Star, with Vulcan V70 heavy tow and recovery unit, to tow and truck with a loaded, frameless, end-dump trailer, then the customer decides to slightly change plans. They decide they want to re-power the load, which means they want to put a good, running power unit, truck, road tractor, whatever you want to call it, under the load so they can finish delivering the load. However, with this style of trailer and the type of "drop legs" it has on it, it isn't safe to drop the trailer. The drop legs aren't designed to hold a loaded trailer, SO, the customer calls us to bring the Rotator up to lift and hold the loaded trailer while Kenny pulls the inoperable truck out from under the trailer and the good power unit connects to the the trailer. This may seem like a simple task, but it is far from it, and if done incorrectly can cause serious damage to equipment or personnel. I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!
Again, I wish to thank everyone who has expressed their prayers and/or condolences for the death of my Dad. The outpouring of support from my viewers has been tremendous and has helped in this difficult time. May God bless each and every one of you. Also, thank you for your patience. I am still making videos and trying to get to the new normal without Dad. I will continue to perform jobs and create videos, as long as God allows. Things will be different moving forward. I have to trust that God will guide me and this channel.
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!!!

I love the way you train your people - your calm and explain - you have the patience of a saint - you make them learn by doing it and you treat them with respect
A true mentoring hand.
1. Everyone learns at a different pace, sometimes the "slower" learners are better as they have internalized the messages, and will remember it forever.
2. No point in raising your voice at the smallest things. Adrenalin can start chasing through the body, and you are not learning anything at that time. Some lessons can be learnt on debrief afterwards.
3. If someone is doing something dangerous or stupid, then call it out but no need to harp on about it. Just show or explain the better way to do it and why.
4. We all make mistakes, just try not to make the dangerous or expensive ones. If you break something, let your manager know so the component can be inspected, repaired, or replaced. Hopefully they will be mature enough to recognise that it wss an honest mistake and you took responsibility by letting them know.
Ron " Patton saint of the Rotater " lol
Was just thinking the same.
Thanks for the warning about railroad crossings to your driver, Ron. I’m an engineer and have had more close calls because of bad drivers stopping on the tracks.
Great comment! I was the engineer on KLS&C 85 and a few other engines on the KLS&C that ran between Paw Paw, MI and Hartford, MI. I had a few close calls. Thankfully no contact! People just have no clue as to either the weight or lack of stopping power of a train. I describe the emergency brakes on a train is like your car on wet ice.
@@klsc8510 Dry or wet, and is likely to be deadly.
Thank you Ron for another awesome video. I enjoy your commentary it gives us an understanding of why you are rigging the trailer up the way you did. 😀🇨🇦
What better way to spend my lunch hour, then watch my favourite operators at work
Rigging is the longest part of the job, and everyone is allowed a mistake or two, so I'm not complaining lol I've had more than my Fair share, good job Ron , Dalton and Kenny
Be safe, God bless
Move over slow down
Watch out for motorcyclists, little kids, critters and little old ladies going to Bingo
I liked the pop quiz in the rigging
You make it look so easy! Another great job by you and your crew! Your training techniques with your guys are outstanding! Always patient and taking the time to not only teach them how to do things but also why to do them that way. Great job Ron!
Ron, as living in the metric world just a suggestion: "approximate 51000 lb or 23133 kg". If you're using a rounded number anyway, it's not necessary to be that precise after the conversion. So 23100 or even 23000 kg ("a little bit over 23 tons") is just fine. ;-)
If you call it 23KG, its much easier on your equipment than 23000 KG.
Quite possibly due to whatever converter he used treating a comma in the input as the decimal marker, _or_ displaying output with a period/low dot as the thousands seperator.
Looking at the thumbnail, in the frame it captured, he wrote it in the descriptive text onscreen as 23.13 kgs! 🤣🤣🤣
Probably nice to use a technique you have not used in a while just to refresh, and it gives Dalton another technique to have in the toolbox if needed. That tractor with full fenders must have those to keep the rocks and debris flying up to a minimum for safety, definitely not going to use tire chains with those fenders.
I am guessing you extended the opposite side outriggers to counter balance, indicate floating if it were to float, and it allows you to level the truck and avoid pressure on your tires.
Thank you another Job well done,god bless and stay safe
Beautiful sunny day drinking my first cup of coffee watching the row tator ,good job and a great crew.Stay safe and always blessed 🙌❤🙏
Good job! 👍 Stay safe and God bless.
Best part about this video is we got to see a train on the BNSF (Warren Buffet Owned Company) Mainline with four (4) Units Leading. 😬👍
Nice work! Good to see Kenny & Dalton working together on your team today. Loved the train coming through at the end. Stay safe!
Thanks and may God Bless you and yours. 🐸
I know I say this a lot but,,, you’re such a great teacher and you show respect for your crew and others. May God bless and keep y’all.
Ron you are a great teacher by explaining how to set up to avoid damaging the trailer and your equipment and God Bless you and your family and friends and be careful and safe and may the force be with you.
Good Morning Ron Pratt & your Crew love watching your RUclips Videos I try my best to catch everyone of your Videos because you have very clean Videos for me & my Family to watch. May God continue to bless you & your Family From Terry Pinley & Family
Nicely done! Amazing that 23+ tons of load didn't phase the Rotator a bit. Impressive!
Dalton looks like he is going to be a great addition to your team if he keeps up like he is right now. Guy jumps and takes initiative once he grasps a new task that you teach him. He is very attentive when you give him instructions and isn't afraid to admit when he didn't quite grasp something. If unsure he asks questions to make sure he is doing what he is expected to be doing. He is also safety conscious which is to your benefit as his employer and him for not getting hurt as easily on the job. The big bonus is your teaching style and your understanding. Seeing his boss make a mistake and own it was also encouraging as well. Shows him that no one is perfect and everyone can make a mistake. Catching it and fixing it is the important part. Love your videos and watching you and your crew work.
Ron, I still miss your dad and his easy going personality!
My Dad died 57 years
Ago still miss him!
You will have to readjust to the loss as you go!
However you still present your business
With kindness and grace!
Love watching you going through your alternative solution’s!
I’m running out of new shows!
I’m watching some of the old ones and they are still good!
Thanks for giving an old man a chance to
Think about how you do things 😅
Hi Ron, Dalton and Kenny, Nice team work as always. Dalton is doing a great job. He just took it upon himself to put the gear away. My faith in the younger generation is coming back. From snowy Bath, Maine.
there was another mistake too. LOL when you did have the Blue snatch block up there, you would have been pulling on the tip of the hook and not on the middle of the hook like you always say.
Needs to replace that blue snatch block... There's no safety clip on it
@@barnabus1976 Those latches are replaceable, though, and a lot cheaper than a whole snatch block. $20-30 vs $1000+, assuming those are McKissick 420/430 or similar.
@@Azlehria I guess whatever needs t ok be done to make it safe...
Then again he makes mention of it in his latest video so I guess it's in hand
I know your pain. A few months my trailer needed to be lifted, i just loaden 37.000KG grain in it +6.000 empty weight of the trailer. Its always cool too see how they do it. Keep up the good work 💪
Lovely jubbly Ron Pratt video makes my day, great video Ron, Dalton just showing his Dad how to disconnect the 5th wheel hitch, 😀, God Bless you all, and see you next week, 👍🇺🇸🇬🇧🪝🙏.
Ron thank you for the video my Friday would not be complete without a Towing and recovery video from you. Something else about trains the don't pull over for red lights and sirens...a police constable learned the hard way.
First cut of coffee, and started to chuckle ! Always enjoy those "different " runs ya'll are called to make . Stay safe out there, God bless .
He could fill volumes with his what he's seen and done.
Ron could write the manual on the business. How to rig, then tow. And how to treat people! Employees, customers, on-scene first- and second-responders.
Have you ever done a job with another tow company? Like both your trucks working on the same wreck?
Took me a while to get to your video this week--last weeks! I was trying to figure out why you were lifting the trailer. Then I read the trailer was loaded and the landing gear couldn't handle the load--ooooooohhh! That 'splains it! Good watching you work on the more technical ones. Not a hard one, but an easy one to screw up if you don't pay attention. Good work to you and the crew.
Nice video!
another good job professionally done!..thank you Ron for the video!
Another great video. I like your style of teaching what is required to make a potentially dangerous job safe.
Good morning, Ron!
Amazing video thanks for everything you do you do a great job
This is the second lift like this I have seen you show. I keep thinking how easy it would be for the trailer builder to add some reinforcing so the blocks would not be needed. But I suppose nobody would want to pay for an extra 40 pounds (or less) of aluminum. It sure would make your job safer, easier, and quicker. Once again, great video!
🇳🇱Was great again thanks for sharing Ron and greetings from the Netherlands and let's hope that idiot in Russia comes to his senses.👍👍👍👍👍🍀
Yes, great work by Ron and his Team.
That idiot in Russia has been planning this, and more over many years, NATO did little in 2014 over Crimea. Hopefully you, and the rest of the will see him at The Hague/Den Haag in due course.
Thanks Ron for all your hard work!
Awesome job u and ur guys did Ron and the truck picked the trailer up like it was nothing love watching stuff like that after I got hurt and can't do it anymore be safe and always always be careful doing what u do each and every day and that goes for ur guys to
Novice and armchair quarterback that I am, I did question to myself if you were using the wrong stage...just from watching you work so much. But you know far more than I, so I waited to see. I guess you have taught me well!
Those trailers have to be one of the hardest to work with seeing they have no real frame underneath. Hope you all are doing ok down there. God bless you all. My prayers are with you all down there always.
Ron that was another job well done. That worked out great. 👍👍👍❤️
I love the way your rig makes an impossible situation possible! Another great job from a great crew. Thanks for letting us tag along :)
I AGREE
Keep warm ron
Ron, you're such a great guy. I love how you explain things and take the time to be patient and kind. Love your personality ❣️🙂. We love your videos 💗. Stay safe 🙏
Ron, have you/team seen any big rigs, pass through your neck of the woods, that are participating in the People's convoy that's heading to D.C. ahead of the state of the union address in the capitol building!!?? Much love, Ron and your family/team. Stay safe in whatever you do on a daily basis!!!! Your friend Bob Compton from, maryland
That was some good help you had for this job.
love how you give instructions videos are amazing
Great job Ron you have a really good crew working with you . You get as well as give respect awesome video love your channel.
Awesome work brother! Great training!
Nice clean lift. Stay safe out there. 👍
You make even the hardest job look simple. And God bless.
Holy cow, I love 36:58. As Ron rounds the trailer to put the block back in he takes a few strides he goes "Oh.." once his brain catches up and realizes that Dalton multiplied! Lol.
Ron hello,it’s now 12;46 hours just finishing your video, I knew I heard your voice,but had not seen your ROTATOR, , WE just dodge the weather bullet,we just got freezing rain& sleet, I’ll wait until it warms up a bit,as have to go out today. God Bless you all, stay well. & safe ,🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The blue one is hooked up wrong
Binge watched Ron now a weekly wait is agonizing!
You'll make a darn decent wrecker driver out of Dalton yet, Ron! Excellent video.
Nice job Ron. Safely done.
On jobs like these , thank goodness for a non- raining day. Lol
Hi Ron still watching your videos and enjoying keep up the good work peter from essex uk
I wish my trainer was as nice and calm as you. your are great.
Not criticizing, but I noticed that cables were crossed. I really enjoy your channel. Very professional. Thanks for sharing.
Good teamwork as usual 👍👍👍🥳🥳🥳🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Ron after working around cranes building towers as well as operating a rotator and other heavy wreckers most of my adult life I'm just curious as well as you explain every detail to your crews do you expe6them to know the capacity ratings for the shackles or basket verses, straight line pull and choke pull ratings of slings etc. Or how to tie a moly in cable and when using clamps not to saddle a dead horse I'm sure you probably work on a 5:1 safety ratio it would be interesting to watch a video of you having rigging class with your crew maybe not for some of us veterans of the industry but rather folks that have never seen or even thought about what actually goes on in your head
Good morning from New Hampshire.
We are expecting a foot of snow or more throughout the day.
Loved watching this!
Awesome video keep up with a great work and be safe out there. 👍😀
Another Fine Job. 👍
If the task was easy everyone would want to be doing this work 😆, hence why one must have a very experienced man in charge indeed so ☺.I found out over my 66 year's that making a mistake every so often was normal or a huge problem might be coming 😠.
Made it look easy. Awesome video
big worker and good job ever
Awesome job
I was hoping to see my buddy Steve he drives for Beelman now except he has a sleeper cab he use to drive a rotator here in Indianapolis and he was a great team driver as we put on a lot of miles running from indpls to Moriarty NM I really wanted to hire him to run my second truck but I wasn't to happy with the company I had my trucks least on with at any rate i pulled frame less dumps for a couple years thank God I never had to have this done great job
I always look to make sure the locking jaw is all the way across the king pin.
Great job, by a great.crew.
Nice work Ron
Dalton appears to be learning fast. I don't think that I can recall you using the axillary winches before. Do they have the same speed as the main ones? Also, what is the rating on the snatch blocks? Thanks, Ron. Be safe and God Bless all of you.
I like shortjacking, especially when nobody's looking.
Love your videos and how you train your team hands on is the best way to learn only one no no going under the load wile suspended in air big safety no no
Ron not only do you have a great crew. You're training the next generation. God bless
I just got an advert at the beginning of the video, reminding drivers not to enter a railway crossing, unless you have the space on the other side to get out of harm's way. 03:55 might explain get that advert now. In the advert, you see the boom gate coming down, the driver looks being in a panic. Train goes through, the boom gate was just in front of the car. Missed by that much.
Get hit by a train, and the vehicle you are driving will not be getting up again.
Great job ron
Mr. Pratt, you may be a better teacher than you know. I was wondering why you hooked up to the second stage just as you put up the "I'm making a mistake" text.
I heard you say you were going to use the boom itself as a spreader bar and I've seen that the third stage section of the boom is not as long as a trailer is wide.
I will never be in a position to use this knowledge being as I'm retired and arthritic, but thanks for showing us all of this just the same. I feel like we're being privileged to attend a maser class in recovery and towing through your videos.
Great video
When will you get a kenworth
I'd take a Kenworth over some other trucks but that 379 is hard to beat with a Kenworth
Love the rotar videos
Have a great weekend
I think they have a yard in Marion also
Randy
It boggles my mind that the trailer is made with legs that won't support it when fully loaded. I've seen videos of the situation where a driver pulled out without cranking the legs down and could not extend the legs with weight on them. That also defies common sense.
Was wondering, why wouldnt they just drop the trailer on ots landing gear. Then i noticed there are no cross braces between them for stability. Now this makes sense
Good video, noticed 2 mistakes you and Dalton should never get under the load. Can not stress that enough, ive seen cables and straps snap for no reason even using overkill.
I could be mistaken....I'd have to go back and watch the video again, but from what I remember, the only time we were under the load while the lines from our truck were attached was when lowering and raising the legs, and both times the trailer was still hooked to a truck, so, technically, it was still supported by the truck pulling the trailer and the trailer would not have been considered a suspended load at that point. It was only a suspended load when there was no truck under the trailer and we were never under the suspended load. Thanks for watching and God bless.
Blue snatch block is in the wrong place. Hook is turned wrong.
How long would you estimate does it take to train a worker to be competent to do auto recoveries in his/her own??
As always a great vid godbless
Surprised no crank on the trailers landing gear....
Teamwork! You've been to this place before.
Next week will see again :)
Bye bye
Yep video from Ron just goes with the coffee! I hate/love this industry! Lol
I don't think Mr Beard has watched any of Ron's videos! ;-)
Question. You said you didn’t want to shortjack the truck but if you also had the load closer to the truck would tha not equal out the shorter outrigger. I understand if you had to lift at full extension but if the load was closer I think it should cancel it out
Why not drop the landing legs and then hook up to another tractor unit???
It looks like you might have redirected too far out. Redirect to 1st stage on your side.
Great vlog Ron. Where is the safety latch for the yellow snatch block gone.
Blues missing as well
What does a job like that cost the customer? Great work.
