Ron, just that simple act of care showing that little things matter (guitar), speaks volumes of who you are.
I love that you aren't afraid to show your faith! We know how dangerous wrecker life is and we need as many prayers as we can get. I have had many close calls . I know I have angels around me.
I was asked the other day if I have a will and death benefits in order - Yes I do - and they asked why I keep such a dangerous job . well we are all going to die one day and I rather go doing something I love doing then something I absolutely hate doing every single day. I also like helping people and can usually turn a clients mood from crying , being pissed off, mad at the world to a smile , calm and feeling safe. I always get dispatched to the crying girls lol . I say what's going on ......... Well that's what I'm here for I'm going to get you home safe and say something to make them lighten up . I have a lot of people request me , that's how I know I did something right. And boy do I have crazy stories as we all do . Be safe my friend.
First off, thank you Lord for watching over this lady and those that came to her rescue. Secondly, I've just got to love this lady and her concern for her guitar. Musical people just love life and realize that the universal language of music is a major factor is spreading love across the world. If I were in her situation I would be more concerned about my gig bag with my 20+ harmonicas and my music than I would be about the car.
When you were first surveying the car I was concerned about the guitar. I'm glad you carefully separated it from the wreckage, took it to the patrol car, and took care of it in your truck. It's little touches like that making a very bad time a little bit better. Thank you , sir, for just being a good man.
That's very nice that you pick up people's belongings. That is respectful
This young lady was very blessed and her guardian angels must have been watching over her
I agree. Thank you for watching and God bless!
Real nice of the cop to give her a ride home and sticking with and assisting Ron at the scene.
Glad the lady of the car is safe , many prayers going out 2 her & ur family as well & 2 all of the other wrecker operators out there on the roads nowadays !!!
Thanks Ron, for honoring God in your speech and actions. You bring Him honor by your faithfulness. We are not all called to the pulpit, but we are called to be faithful with what we have been given.
I had to return a customer's handbag once, after I'd recovered her car, so just for the craic, I got about 30 yards from her house, and strapped it in the middle of the bed, then reversed into her drive to 'unload' right in front of her lounge window!
Both her and her kids thought it hilarious, and they thanked me for not only helping them out, but for the laugh too!
Keep on truckin' Ron, and please take care yourself! :-)
A winch is a wonderful tool. Thank the Lord she came through it without major injuries. The way that roof was caved in... it is a wonder. As others have said, I bet she feels it the next morning. I never thought about a roll over stick but it has perfect logic and I can see other non crash related uses for it! You do a great job and are a credit to the Lord. God bless!
Many years ago I ran a wrecker for a small family owned company. The owners insisted we clean up the accident scene, as you said Ron, it's part of the job. Competitors who didn't clean up heard it from the local police and didn't get called again unless we were out of service. Now days you see car parts and junk littered all over an old accident scene. Some scenes I spent as much time cleaning up as putting the vehicle on the truck. Be nice to see pride in work again. Watching these video's brings back memories, except we didn't have roll backs, wreckers and dolly's if it couldn't be towed. Flat bed trucks for the worst jobs. Be safe out there.
Excellent video of the problems faced by men in your trade. Thanks for the care you show to the drivers of the vehicles. from Texas, Richard&Barbara.
Greatly appreciated. Thanks for watching and God bless.
Dewalt tripod light to the rescue! That light is handy for so many things. This video is a great example of why it's so important to secure items in your car/SUV. They literally flying.
Good luck with the new truck Mr. Pratt. Thank God the person in the car didn't get seriously injured. The Lord must have been with her.
I just knew you were going to get that guitar out of the wreck for her! She is one lucky woman.
My uncle was a toll truck driver as well for Indiana. He owned his truck to thank you for the memories of him. God Bless you and your guys also my prayers are with you to and for the customers.
There is something very satisfying about walking with a chain over your shoulder.
That was one lucky young lady. That rollover was one bad mama. Nice save on the instrument for her. Stay safe and watch your "6"
Many years ago I was in a roll over in a truck and I wish the towing company was as mindful as you are. Seems like a lot of the stuff I had in the truck vanished. And what didn't vanish was left on the ground at the scene of the wreck. I commend you are your honor and thoughtfulness!
The pride you take in the total recovery is awesome and that's why it puts you above some of the other companys
Another great recovery Ron . The new truck did a great job. That lady definitely had her guardian angel 😇 watching over her. That was one of the messiest wrecks I've seen in a long time . The last time I saw a rollover stick was when I was just a little kid, and I'm not gonna say how long ago that was lol.
Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.
Thanks for sharing and God bless
70 years old retired insurance adjustor, been around cars all my life, learned something new every time I watch Ron's videos. Rollover stick, that is slick.
Back when I was driving the tow trucks I was always amazed at what people have in their vehicles with them.
Excellent recovery. Ron, you and your Family are a blessing, Our Heavenly Father has given you a wonderful gift, may you continue to be blessed. I am happy to know that the Woman Driving the SUV was not seriously injured. God Bless You. Stay Safe. 👍👍. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for watching and God bless.
She was concerned about her guitar. As a guitarist, I applaud her for having her priorities in the right place.
Sweet set up man! Nothing like watching a pro do what he does. Thanks for all the tips and tricks. I really enjoy the details on the rigging and reasons for doing them!
Ron. Are you ever surprised at the amount of debris people carry in vehicles,,thank you also for taking the time to make sure she got her guitar back,,,, bless you and stay safe sir
SEAT BELTS SAVE LIVES. Only by the grace of GOD she walked away from that one Ron!!! good clean up also her guitar wasn't even busted wow.
Give me a lever and a place to stand and I can move the world. Archimedes
Watched this at work (tailor) and just saw how that worked.
Fabulous Ron Thank you for showing us drivers new tricks.
Hello there, you sure have some interesting and informative videos. Been watching way too many, but being retired and 14 degrees out side makes it fun. Stay safe and God bless you all with a safe working environment.
You wouldn't believe how many tow truck drivers I've seen trying to roll over a car on a city street and just succeed in dragging the car on its roof. In fact, that fancy towing program from up in Canada showed that situation a time of two. That rollover stick is such a simple but very neat solution.
I`m a new subscriber / I`m a retired machinist in Ind. and love to watch your videos and see what trouble you run into day by day. I`m not surprised to see how popular
your vids have become. Be safe Ron and crew.
Welcome. Glad you are liking the videos. Hope you continue to enjoy them. Thanks for watching and God bless.
In England most recovery operators here leave rubbish and large bits of vehicles along side the road after the accident , I don't know why they do this, like Ron I always cleaned up swept up after any accident when I did this job many years ago. Thanks Ron for showing everyone how the job should be done.
Ron you have empathy and compassion for people involved thank you for sharing God Bless stay safe 👍🇺🇸😎
I don't know how I missed episode. It is one of those short and sweet ones. Two things. Ron you were talking about how important it was for you to avoid hitting a state sign. State things cost more to fix and or replace. The young lady was very fortunate to not have hit the sign either. She was just along for the ride once she lost control of her vehicle. But the real saving grace for her is that going from 55-65 mph and then stopping very abruptly is very costly to the human body. The usual results are fatal or at least serious injuries That old blunt force trauma thing takes effect.
Ron you made note of the fact that at the time of the release of this video that you had not finished organizing the new truck.
it would lead me to believe that would not be a task that you would delegate.
Thank you Ron for making such great informative videos. You are a true gentleman, and someone who is extremely compassionate and very kind. I love watching all the videos and will continue to do so. Keep up the great work!!!
She had angels watching over her.
Now, that lady had to be flat hauling the mail. That is a nice new truck!
You're a good man, Ron Pratt! And a professional, dedicated and passionate worker, I like that... Not many of that kind, on the road, anymore, I'm afraid.... And that guitar thing got to me... I immediately noticed the instrument as you were approaching the vehicle and felt kinda sorry... You bringing it back to its owner was a very nice gesture, indeed!... Thanks for sharing parts of your trade with us. Stay safe, friend!
Your Courtesy towards others is “Off the Charts” Great! 👍 It is Great to see such a Positive Relationship you have with the MO State Highway Patrol and the fact you Thank them for hanging around with you giving the additional Safety coverage you deserve. I am NOT at all surprised at the number of subscribers you have. You Deserve it with as Great a Person you are and an Equally Great Business person. Your Team Rocks!
That rollover stick trick is awesome, and also manouvering the car with changing pivot points. I love your professionalism.
Another fine Video Ron, Thank You, the lady certainly was lucky to walk away from what looked to be, a very serious wreck, one thing that stands out in most of your recovery videos Ron, the importance of seat belts, and just how life saving they can be, because this lady was surely being watched over, on a lighter note, it was also nice to see, even in the pitch dark, the new Rollback in action
Never saw a roll over stick in action before. That is really slick. It appears that stick is multi purpose too. Very handy!
Hey Ron live your videos and this evening we're doing a last ride for him here in Virginia. I never drove a tow truck before and i got the opportunity to work for a company I love doing now. This is my first last ride for my co worker. He had my truck that he wrecked. He passed away before he crashed.
Thanks for the double snatch block idea Ron! I put three on our rollback for sake of we haul junk cars for people to our scrap yard and it really does help trying to winch cars around trees and what not. Hope all is well with the lady involved and glad she just got a little mud in her teeth and not worse! Thanks Ron and god bless!
Glad to help. I would love to for us to all share our knowledge and help make our industry more professional. Be safe and God bless.
God had his hand on her. Have worked wrecks like that with much worse out come. Seat belts work. Wear them they will save your life. I know Ron can tell you the same thing. In 18yrs on the Ambulance and 20yrs on the Fire Department. Only picked up one person that had a seat belt on that was killed. Stay safe out there Ron. God bless you.
Dan Crafton Back about 1970, there were 4 cars before me , rainilg lightly, saw the 1st car slip of the road upside down, a 2 dr FORD FALCON, HEAVY LADY with seat belt, thesose days there was NO 911, we all stopped to help, I was able to chisel the door open, her weight precluded releasing seat belt, but they able to hold her up, and CUT THE BELT with a SHARP KNIFE, got her out before police, or tow truck , or ambulance, but wot she was SHAKING SO BADLY , we told her to get checked out, her Tyers ? BALONGA SKINS !
We love your videos. You are truly a professional. A nice guy who cares about and enjoys his work. Keep up the good work. God bless you and your family.
Thank you very much. God bless.
I admit I didn't realize rollover stick was such a literal description, but it works! I'm glad to hear the driver got home ok after a bad day like that.
You sir are definitely an angel! What an inspiration you have given me to the people that do the kind of work you do! You sir are a real life superhero! 🦸♂️
Hahaha, the noise your winch makes is the exact same noise the car seat made in that awesome movie "Planes Trains and Automobiles" when John Candy kept adjusting it, and broke it!!!
Another great video Ron.. The lord was looking out for her. I’ve seen wrecks with less damage and more injuries.
Glad to see you put that new truck to work. It doesn’t pay for itself just sitting around.
Stay warm, stay safe, and god bless.
Ronn you are a true
Professional.
I see there's lots of new technology that make things safer for you.
And a little bit easier.
We love your show .
I know it must be difficult to go through all this material what is well.
Thank you..
G B
Great to watch a master dominating in his craft.
Another great job by Midwest Trucking by Mr Ron Pratt continue to stay safe as always God Bless
I wish that all tow driver was like Ron Pratt..good man. God Bless him...
I wish I had those direction blocks when I was towing life would of been easier
Your boxes aren't bad I used milk crates to keep mine organized but I had trays on top of my boxes for lumber brooms bridles and extra chain ect
It was also very commendable for you to put that lady's guitar in your cab not a lot of drivers would of done that but that's what makes a professional operator a professional operator
its so nice to see a tow operator that is nice to people. ive had to have a few tows (small cars to big rigs) and not one was nice about the situation.
Ron! I would love to tell you about an 18” piece of block made the day.
I drive a semi. I had to deliver in Washington D.C. very close to the capital. Actually, it was the place that prints everything said or done in the Capital. Hours were crazy. My dispatch told me that I had to be there at 2000 hrs and be docked. This was easy.
But when I awoke in the morning. Cars were surrounded all around me and I couldn’t have moved and inch.
Then is when I understand the plan of getting my semi docked the night before.
The down side is that I sat all day until the last car left. This was when I learned a huge lesson in very tight quarters maneuvering.
A humble black man staggered into the seen , asked me if I had a 4x4x18’,
I did, so he placed it very close to the corner of the building in which I was trying to back into the ally to get out.
By placing this block of wood at the correct pivot point it caused the trailer to pivot on the block of wood making the trailer straight with the ally. Mission accomplished!
Since then, I have used this technique over again and it works.
I tell you what that woman had GOD with her. That looks like it could have been fatal. I know her nerves is all shook up. Your the man enjoyed watching your videos it teaches me a lot. Thank you and God bless.
You're a kind and sensitive man Mr. Pratt - bravo!
Heavenly Father, we thank you for protecting this lady, and that she was OK in this horrendous vehicle rollover. Thank you for Ron, and protecting him during this recovery. Thank you for the Officer, and his kindness to this lady. We praise you that all came out well. In Jesus Name, AMEN!! Great job, Ron.
AFAIk you are the first to post a prayer in the comments and I have been watching since nearly the start of the channel, thus I assist answer questions like specs and other such that I do know about.
Amen Richard. Very well said sir.
It’s amazing how that a simple block of wood can be made into the best tool of all.
Ron is a very pleasant / caring guy.
Safety and people first.
I like his line, "Things can be replaced / People can't".
That’s why I like his videos. This isn’t a job where he’s just wanting the paycheck he does everything he can to make sure everyone is safe and helps them when needed.
I hear ya
I know, LOL
Morning, Ron!! I see you are enjoying the newest member of the fleet. I think she should be called Bella. She's tall, regal and she knows her stuff. I see she has lots of bells and whistles to make you smile from ear to ear. She's quick, elegant, and a joy to work with. I'm so glad the lady that had the accident was okay, albeit a bit shook up. Glad her guitar was okay, and maybe just needed a clean up to check for damage. I think your new rollback is going to be a huge asset to your fleet of hardworking trucks. God bless all of you and have a wonderful day . 🙏👍🤗💕🐸
You must really love what you do going out at night when it is freezing cold. You are a very smart man using the physics of pulleys and levers. I would loved to have you in my science class. Good work Sir.
Larry Berger when I was in a trade school in 1959, there was a class, called ‘MECHANICS’ it was ALL about levers, pulleys etc, and there were some real serious computations, more so than geometry, which I loved . , but in my line of work I never used it HVAC/R. , so when I see RON do something at least I know the HOW & WHY, of his moves. . Stay well.
If she was wearing her seat belt and that driver side A post staying up, saved her from being injured. Great example of using the roll over stick, thanks for including us on another safe recovery.
Ron I would like you and your family to Pray for a couple of Families in North Carolina today. First, Pray for the family of 25 year tow truck operator Benny Sprinkle who was killed this week while loading a vehicle on Highway 268 in Elkin, NC. Secondly in the same week a tow truck driver from 21 motors was involved in a 10-50 (wreck) where someone pulled out in front of him and he was airlifted to NC Baptist hospital where condition is unknown. The Eldridge family is the second family I'm asking Prayers for. As a first responder and 911 dispatcher myself I ASK PEOPLE PLEASE IF YOU SEE EMERGENCY LIGHTS PLEASE MOVE OVER. These guys and gals want to get back to their families as you wanna get back to yours.
Definitely have my prayers for all. God bless.
Prayers for all involved, and a extra prayer for the safety of all that respond to roadside incidents.
Prayers sent
My name is Jason Wolfe you got all my prayers for the one tow truck driver that was killed while doing his job and a prayer for the 10---50. Like we say slow down and move over please thank you good luck and god bless. You are more then welcome to say my name if needed all prayers here
Same
Thank You for your videos and for your caring and prayers for all involved
I'm glad you do "the right thing" and pick up all the belongings and debris. I've seen too many recovery sites with "mementos" left behind. . .
Man that winch is quick. Much quicker than the old roll back. God bless
You mean quicker than the one on the Ford?
I sure hope she is ok. Thank you for all you do.
I hope she feel lucky! A car is not the whole world but your life. Good video as usual Ron and a very nice new truck.
Thank goodness she wore her seat belt, that alone can make such a world of difference by ensuring you don’t get thrown clear of your car only to be run over by your own car a moment later - those cars can handle a much greater beating than we and they, at least, are expendable as you can replace property but you only get the one life. Between seat belts, airbags, and well engineered crumple zones accidents have become so much more survivable than 40+ years ago, but you have to remain within the protective cocoon of the vehicle to benefit from that added protection. I’m just grateful to hear that she was “shaken” but “alright” after all of that, we all make mistakes!
I'll echo those statements. I know as a mid 40's guy, I can't believe "we" didn't wear seatbelts growing up. I suppose they are still "optional" but boy you are foolish if you don't wear them. There i go turning into my parents again lol!
Side curtain airbags have saved countless lives - In a side impact a seat belt can actually contribute to lethal injuries without a side curtain airbag. We had a state trooper make that evaluation one time when my mother was in an accident without a seatbelt - she survived because she didn't have a belt on.
@Yar Nunya - I didn't read *anywhere,* where Sara LIewellyn _told_ people not to use their seat-belts (or, that she wasn't using hers)! And, using pejorative terms like _retarded and idiot,_ reflects more poorly on _your_ character. I too, know of a personal accounting where a utility-pole, invaded 50% of the vehicle cabin; where a passenger was not belted (and, was holding a child) - and, in _that particular instance;_ it most likely was why she and the child lived, too!
*It is the exception and not the rule in averages.* It was also around 40-years ago - airbags, weren't even likely heard of then, if even seat-belt laws existed.
You've otherwise got a good message just read more closely and dial back the rudeness; so that the important aspects, are what comes through. - Thank you, Peace-
Yar Nunya There was no message to not wear seatbelts, only an anecdotal story that there were occasional instances, in a time before side curtain airbags, where, under very specific circumstances in a side impact collision, wearing a seatbelt could possibly be more dangerous than not, but that has always been the case. However, as a rule it is foolish not to wear a seatbelt, regardless of whether required by law, as you are many orders of magnitude more likely to survive a serious accident while wearing your seatbelt than you are to be saved as a consequence of having not worn the seatbelt - do you focus on protecting yourself from the 0.01% of accidents or the 99.99% of accidents given that you will never know the type of accident or what the outcome will be until afterwards?! Not only that, wearing one’s seatbelt nearly always significantly reduces the magnitude of injuries in a serious accident versus being violently thrown about the interior (and all too often exterior as well) of the vehicle.
I learned a valuable lesson about seatbelts as a young child about 38-39 years ago when my father had to make an emergency stop from highway speeds to avoid another vehicle and I was violently thrown against the rear of the front seat. Even a ~9 year old could do that math and imagine a much worse outcome in a real collision! Even though that was probably about 5-6 years before seatbelt use became mandatory by law (in Florida), I became a religious user of seatbelts in every vehicle I get into ever since that day and I always require the same of my passengers. Having been in several violent accidents since then, I feel quite safe saying that I probably would not still be here had I not worn my seatbelt on those occasions!
It can be in your favor to get tossed from the car. A deputy sheriff in our church had a vehicle that malfunctioned for some unknown reason and swerved off the road and flipped several times taking out a telephone pole. He was tossed from the car even though he was wearing his seat belt. He doesn't know what happened. He was knocked out and tossed from the car during the first flip. The firefighters said he would have been killed if he had remained in the car. The top of the car was down inside of the car's interior.
Ron once again you show just what a gentleman and professional you are. I would like to see all the work after you get back to the yard.
A lot more checking equipment recharging things cleaning and paperwork I bet. Thank you for what you do.
Very cool watching you 'stick it'...... Haven't seen that one before. Excellent use of geometry and physics.
That lady must have been VERY shook up. I rolled over a car once, and it was no where near as scary as this. And my wife who was with me was REALLY shook up. We only rolled once, and it was a very slow roll, into a snow bank - more like an amusement park ride for me.
The rollover stick is a great tool! Simple, but effective!
Hey Ron I dont know anything about towing or anything but I sure do find your videos very interesting. I just love your kind personality and also the fact you say God bless in every video. Also tell talon hes very attractive. I like his southern talk and yours 2. Thank you for the videos. Keep on what your doing. And as always god bless
Ron, You are PRICELESS!!!!! God Bless You.
Thanks ron on another great video pulling this vehicle out of the location it was in and the way you did it as always like on the other recoveries you do and have done very awesome indeed and the tricks that are done very impressed need to be more good people like you and as always be safe out there for everyone involved includeing EMS and fire and rescue along with law enforcement god bless
Ron I have to say that is a fine truck you have lol. I would like to make a recommendation though. The feniex lights you have in duel color can be set up for a "flood" mode. It would take up two switches, but perhaps you may want to set your side warning to have a flood override to offer more white light during night operations. The best part is that it wouldn't take away from your warning power as you only select the side you want to illuminate. This is how we have our security cars set up, both sides and front. You would be surprised by the amount of light those little heads can throw!
I appreciated your comments on the clean up. We tow in a small college town, Our PD takes a lot of pride in the appearance of our community, and we believe that the community has been good to us. We need to be equally good to the community. We try very hard to leave a site at least as clean as it was before the incident, if not cleaner!
Sounds like the Eagle Scout training kicking in. Am I close??? I am Eagle class of 1983. Thanks for watching and God bless.
@@RonPratt Close,My father was, class of 1939. My Son is, class of 2011. Unfortunately, I missed. I did have the privilege of being my son's Scoutmaster when he received his Eagle. He proudly wears his Grandfathers Eagle which was presented by Jim West, the National Scouting Exec at the time. It has been a lot of fun and a distinct honor to watch and help some young men grow!
My prayers and thoughts going out to her and the family
Another successful recovery. Nicely done Ron.
Good morning Ron, would it be possible if you made a full fleet video showing briefly all the vehicles you use
Yeah that whould be nice. Starting with the smallest and end with the rotator.
That would be nice!
That would be cool since it’s truck 15! Must be a few
raymond milfort +1 it would be cool to see the fleet with some explanation of the differences, what each truck specializes in, etc
Hell of an idea and would make great viewing..
Excellent! To heck with the car, the guitar would be my first concern, too.
a car can be replaced but a guitar has soul&mojo :)
That guitar may be worth more the Car was
Years ago I rear ended a car in northern Michigan (my fault driving too fast on a rainy night). The driver of the other car had borrowed it from his sister. He, his passenger and the deputy all seemed to care less about the car. But they were all very concerned about the new compound bow that he was transporting in the trunk. All of us (including me) were relived when the deputy pried open the trunk and the bow was unharmed. My car was totaled, but then it doesn't take much to total a $225 car! Signing over the car's title canceled the towing bill.
@@stevehorton2003 Which was probably less than what the bow was worth in the first place?
If it had been a Gibson or a Martin maybe but
Someone was looking after that driver for definite .
Another job well done Ron .
The both of you did a nice job of supporting her, and letting her know that someone actually gave a darn; almost anywhere else, this would have been a hurried situation, with little attention being paid to the victim. I was an EMS Chief for ten years, and our department had the policy "expedite when necessary, calmness and support, at all other times"; those who respond often set the tone of how the call unfolds. She will remember this as being 'a bad situation, made better by those who came to her aid'. Thanks for taking care of "Trigger", BTW!
I like the Roll-over stick, that is really clever!
I watched this on 1/26/2019 & gave you a thumbs up as always. How anyone could give you 28 thumbs down is beyond me, even if they just base the video on your demeanor alone. Of course the tow truck action is very cool too, and knowing no one got hurt (which is always a blessing) makes the video even more fun to watch. I certainly appreciate the time you take to post these videos for us to watch and, the equipment it takes to produce the quality video you produce, film, and edit. The "foot notes" you add in yellow are always helpful and takes away the guess-work of viewing particular scenes and, again I very much appreciate them.//////// FYI: in case you or anyone else didn't know it, those "cat tails" @ 12:41 (cigar looking plants you are around) make good bug deterrents. You leave them dry out for a few days after picking (leave some stem on) then light them with a match or whatever, and they will smolder and the smoke and, they deter most flying insects. The ones in your video look perfect for this explanation. They are nice if you are sitting on your porch or the front steps etc. If you soak the "cat tails" an hour or two in preferably kerosene or less preferred gasoline cut by 1/4 deisel fuel, then they make a nice torch and burn fairly long. I like the aroma that comes from them either way, but as always not everyone agrees. As kids we use to call them "punks". //// As a guitar player I know how she feels, and it was really nice of you Ron to give her guitar special attention/ further protection. First I'd miss not having it to play, but even a "starter type guitar" starts around $600.00. I play a middle of the road guitar (Taylor) and it cost $1,800 new and comes in a really nice "soft shell" protective case with pockets. I would hope insurance would help her to buy a new guitar regardless! However, her guitar should have been in it's case and if traveling often then a "hard shell" case is preferred for protection, but I'm sure she didn't leave expecting to get into an accident especially of that magnitude. I play my guitar because I like to sing, and sometimes I make personal video files with my Hero 7 and send the files to friends that like my type of easy listening music & style. I thought of a RUclips channel, but once it is out there, you can't ever take it back and there are too many trolls just waiting to pounce on a medium or novice guitarist like me, & at 65 years old & a retired machine shop owner I just don't need the extra aggravation. ///// It was nice of the officer to stick with you until you were loaded and then take the victim home. Often you have to call a friend to come get you, etc.
@Pete_Hine_Of_PA I definitely get my share of trolls, haters, keyboard quarterbacks, and every other type of negative on RUclips. I've learned to simply not give them a voice. Don't feed them and they will starve. Much like a bully...which they are...if you ever let a bully know he/she is getting under your skin, they will push you even harder. If you act like it doesn't bother you, they move on to someone that they feel they can have power over. Simply don't give them the power over you. I or my wife read and approve every comment that gets posted on any of my videos. There are a lot of things we don't allow, such as cursing or statements of hatred towards anyone. Some people live to create negativity, but that doesn't mean that I have to be a party to it, nor do you. You want a RUclips channel, then go for it. If you don't want the negativity, simple, turn off the comments so people CAN'T comment.
That lady was lucky. First time I've seen the rollover stick used, slick and simple.
Thank God she'a okay.
19:02 Hey, Ron? Don't hit the sign. (I couldn't resist lol)
It looks like you really like your new toy :-) Stay safe and God bless.
I'm just happy the guitar made it out of that in one piece. Couldn't make out the brand, but even a cheap one can have a lot of sentimental value.
Ron, another great video. As a firefighter/paramedic up in New England I have been on many of these type of calls and I wish our tow operators were as professional and a team player as you are. I am a Believer and appreciate and respect your asking for prayers or well wishes for the people involved.
I wish I had my GoPro on me as we called out a Heavy wrecker company this winter to help lift a hoarse who was on the ground that was solid ice and the animal was unable to stand on its own. The guy had his rotator onscene and helped us save the animals life. Have you ever done any calls like that in your part of the country? God bless and thank you.....
I am glad she was not hurt and I was very happy she was wearing her seatbelt because if not this would have had a different outcome
Another great video Ron. Thanks for sharing! Wanted you to know because of watching you I bought the Dewalt tripod light for work. It is awesome in some dark spaces we have to get into. I think they owe you a commission. LOL. Just watch when putting the light down to store keep your fingers clear. I have got my self a few times already. Oh well no pain no gain right. God Bless and keep safe.
Great truck. You did great and fast on a cold winter night all by your self.
Wow excellent work... Awesome😎!!!! I just recently started working for a tow company down here in Florida. Working on being like you Ron & my trainer. You both inspire me outside of my family. I've been watching your channel for quite some time now I would say about a year. Keep The Videos Coming, Stay Safe & May God Bless You!!
Good truck and good work!bye from Modena Italy.Thank you,Ron
Hello my Italian friend!!!! Someday, when I get rich and famous....LOL....I would love to travel the world. Italy is one of the many places I want to visit. Thanks for watching and God bless.
Its a testimony to modern car design safety requirements that people can walk away virtually unscathed from such incidents!
