Twisted Truck 2.0 Rollover Semi!!! The Job From...a Really Bad Place
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching. Let me start by saying that I did NOT like this job!!! Looking back on it, I know I could have approached it different ways, however, the end result was success. The way it was, left me tense, even while editing the video. I don't know what caused the driver to go off the road, but when he did, the load shifted inside the trailer and rolled the trailer onto its side. As you will see the truck is quite twisted and the whole things gives us trouble throughout the entire job. Setting the trailer back on its wheels was actually the easiest part of this job. Keeping it from rolling back over, that's another story. We have the entire crew, yes, even Talon, and all our equipment out on this job....our Peterbilt with Miller Industries 1150R rotator, the Western Star Vulcan V70, the Peterbilt 337 Century 4024, the Peterbilt 587 road tractor with our Trail-Eze TE801 ramp (float) trailer, the traffic control unit 16 Dodge Ram 1500, both rollbacks, pallet jacks, and even our Takeuchi TL12 track loader (skid steer). The trailer was loaded with 44,000 lbs of copy paper, was low center of gravity, and shifted hard to the passenger side, which created quite the challenge for us. Yes, again, I know there were other methods I could have used and if/when I get another job like this I WILL approach it differently than this. I am open to positive suggestions, but NOT rude criticism. I am not perfect and have never claimed to be. I put this video out for several reasons, one of which was to seek possible alternatives from my viewers...NOT KEYBOARD QUARTERBACKS. Positive suggestions only please!! Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

I'm fascinated by the work that you all do. I'm 70 years old and I always try to learn new things. I'm never disappointed with these videos.
Glad to see Talon on the job & not lost his touch. I think you did a good job getting that trailer up right. Ethan needs to get more involved if he's really wants to learn & take over the family business.
This occurred in MAY, 2022 (3:23). I am sure Ethan will be fine.
This video was shot in may of 2022, since then Ethan has definitely stepped up and taken much more of an active roll in the company. He is well on his way to one day take over.
Sometimes it's good to stand and watch the whole picture, too. Just to see all the moving parts can be more educational, sometimes.
I see Dalton being a lead in the Tator one day.
Ethan is in a tough spot. Being the next apparently in line is hard - just look at all the Jr's. around the world. If he is a hard charger he is just sucking up in his coworkers eyes. Too laid back is just as bad. Talon has his father's eye so it's natural to compare his attitude and work ethic to Ethen - and that's not fair as Talon has years of experience on Ethen. He doesn't know what to do and is probably scared to make mistakes- so it seems like he is always waiting for his Dad to tell him what to do. So it's tough.
Ron is the king of doing it right.. not me, im the reason insurance is though the roof
Like me, the topic of at least 1 safety meeting a year!!!!!
That’s because your brother to that dude that be on commercials with the Band-Aids all over his face😆
Both, of you @Sean Garvey ...and @Sam Johnson....you've probably heard the expression "self-recognition is the best medicine".....keep watching a few more of these Ron Platt's recovery videos and you'll suddenly realize that slowing-down and anticipating traffic patterns well ahead, will make you much better drivers ;-)
@@andrep8287 I agree!! I had an unintentional record going where I didnt just do it once, I had to do it a 2nd time.. I quickly learned what self awareness was!! lol
Can we all give a round of applause for the blue strap that came in clutch? I feel like it deserves to be retired after that one and mounted in the strap hall of fame.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Parabens esecutou um bom trabalho !!
👏👏👏👏👏
@@quintinvandermeulen1513 ok to update
Since I have never rescued any big rigs, I could 🚫 NEVER 🚫 give ANY negative criticism ... I learn 'how it is done!' by watching these AWESOME videos, I REALLY appreciate the behind the scenes of these 18 wheeler disasters ... Awesome job, Ron Pratt and company
I work in industrial maintenance. A lot of times issues happen that we cannot control. Then we must resolve these issues the best we can. Initial ideas seem the best, then the issue presents a problem. We must adapt and overcome. Y’all did a fantastic job.
I was on the edge of my seat and almost fell off a number of times . Great job
All I can say is , that was really INTENSE. Cheers to the whole team for a job well done.
THE HATERS WILL ALWAYS HATE... Ron you do what you think is best for the job and GOD BLESS YOU AND THE TEAM.
I haven't seen any hateful comments so far. He asked for people's opinions on what he could have done to make the job safer in a post prior to this video yesterday I believe.
I am always amazed at your professionalism and your abilities. I'm a retired flight nurse and have been to plenty of this type of accidents - generally with much more severe consequences; ie. People lose life or limbs. I would be one of the responders who would be relieved to see you and your crews on a scene. I've seen my share of the "not so professional types". Y'all have a blessed day!
Another phenomenal display of leadership adds up to ten! Great job guys!
The way you and your crew work together is awesome. The way everyone communicates is a pleasure to watch. Y'all know what is needed to get the job done. communicates i
That one brought the whole shop out for this one! Even got to see Talon! Good job by the whole crew!
I'm not a doctor, but I estimate Ron filmed himself having about five different heart attacks during this job. So did I while watching! Better drama than anything I find on cable tv. 🙂
I am a Doctor (Theology) and I’m like you I had to pray a lot!
good to see TALON
Wow that was not an easy job. Ron and the crew are just amazing good to see the crew the whole team working so amazing together.
God bless y'all and keep y'all safe out there
Each time that Ron and his crew does a recovery like this they learn something new to make another task successful
I am so amazed that there is never a speed reduction for all other traffic adjacent to where your working. 25kph here in OZ for all emergency vehicles working zones.
Love Talons forward thinking and eagerness in getting the job done safely. Your a great tutor Ron.
25 km/h sounds like SA. In Victoria we get 40km/h and that's if red and blues are on scene if not it's posted limit. Some ppl will SDMO especially truckies but anything smaller and your playing Russian roulette.
Any job that's done without injuries is a job well done. Teamwork is the best work. Stay safe and God bless.
Hi from the uk 🇬🇧 another top video full of content and well informed video you and your staff stay safe out there
me too, hope everything’s good
My favorite videos of yours are when you have the whole crew working together, especially the one when you had to leave the summer festival early for the truck that fell sideways with the 9 cylinders. And it had your father. God Bless. You have trained them well.
Ron, would be interesting for you to share the time of day so people understand what 24/7 means…good to see Talon and you asking for his opinion! You have a great crew and Ethan will learn. Probably learn better from others, learning from parents can be difficult
been waiting all week for ron's video on RON'S FRIDAY VIDEO
Hey Ron just thought of an upgrade you should suggest to dewalt for their scene lights. They need a strobe function so that when they aren't being used to light the work area they can be used as markers for dangerous spots like this. :)
I like it when you guys take it easy on each little thing on the job i am thankful for no one got hurt out there may god blessed all of you guys
I am not sure what the best approach would have been on this looking at it. The main thing is no one got injured and the job got done safely and successfully. I enjoy watching your videos and learning different things. May God keep you and your family safe.
Those Great Dane trailers are tough!!! Nice job to you and your crew.
The fact that Ron noted that, and decided against air bags made this event quicker and less dangerous. I like that he reviewed his early plans with Talon! I wonder if turning tator around could have helped with control.
Great job. Awesome teamwork.
Maestro! I could almost feel the individual "parts" getting annoyed, but they're professionals.
Hats off to you!
Mr Ron Awesome recovery by you and your crew. Thanks for sharing and stay safe
Ron you were doing the job but my tension levels were very high on this job my heart was in my throat!!!!! Awesome job as usual though!!!!!!
Great job brother!!! Nice to see the whole crew on this one. When that blue strap shifted my heart jumped but glad it held and glad the whole job was able to be done. 💪💪💪💪
can tell it was a tough stressful job. never heard so many "whoa whoa whoa's" from Ron, some tricky moments
Ethan's helmet get's me every time. Every time I see him like that makes me think of the song Long Haired Country Boy by CD.
Hi Ron, This was a tricky shift.
I just wish that you were able to shut the road completely to extract this truck safely. Pretty standard ops in Oz for this type of move.
I didn't realise that your section of highway was a sleepy hollow area (driver falling asleep). One of the hazards of road transport, especially between 12:00 & 6:00 am.
Sleep debt is a real thing and many factors can cause this type of accident.
As you asked for other possible ways to do this, the only other alternative i can think of is to possition the rotator further forwards. Then using the crane to secure the back as you did, but preparere for adding an aditonal line, where the westernstar ended up adding its line ower the trailer. For the downwards pull the rotator could uppright the middle of the trailer with the front outriggers, enabeling the westernstar to come in from behind pulling down the back. Once uppright the westernstar can pull it all back while the rotator follows allong and stabilises it all sideways with two lines ower the trailer and if nessesary an other one pulling down from the back outrigger. As a disclaimer this is just what i think, and i am not an towtruck operator, so take this with a big grain of salt :)
And as always great work!
How was it possible to drive it far with the load shifted so much?..You answered my question in the follow up. As a former Logistics manager you did a great job and safely as usual. Internal load shifts are often much more dangerous than folks realize even after getting the truck drivable as this video points out.
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
Good job with the whole crew. I am so happy to see Talon. Really missed him working with you. Takes a team to get the job done and one that can take directions. Ethan needs more of a hands on job there. Great video.
Ron you and Talon work great together. I think if you had a other Rotator or a Heavy-duty Winch Truck would have been great to but overall I'll give You & your Crew 10 for Job will done. May God Continue To Bless Ron Pratt & his Employees @ Midwest Truck & their Families
As I watched, I couldn't help thinking it would have came out backwards a lot easier.
Would have come out a lot easier if the rotator was facing backwards.
Towing and recovery is a learn as you do it but with a memory of what works and doesn’t. History is our safe guard to learn from the past so don’t let anyone try to hide history from you. History good or bad should never be hidden from us.
Another successful mission completed. Super job to all the team!!! 👍👍👍 Good idea on unloading it for safety sake. With the video being almost 1.5 hours long, any idea about how long the job actually took to complete?? Just curious. God bless. Stay safe.
Ron you being very polite is reminding me of a guy I used to work for and instead of saying please he’d say ( and hurry up) got a charge from a lot of people but the one he said it to was like not knowing what he was talking about because he was already hurrying!!!! The crazy things that happen in life!!!!!😂
RON, DO NOT WORRY ABOUT KEYBOARD WARRIORS , just keep doing what you do ,
SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE , I respect your work ethics and your attention to detail ,
keeps this British lad entertained .
GOD BLESS YOU ALL ,
What negative comments am I missing? Everything I see here is supportive.
Never having worked a recovery of this magnitude I can offer very little critique of the methods you chose. You assessed, created a plan and worked your methods within the plan. The one thing that might have helped stabilize the trailer would have been lifting the right side trailer wheels high enough to place timbers under them to tilt the trailer to the left past vertical. Or an air bag to hols it upright. But what you did worked and that is what counts. Great recovery from a very difficult position.
Ok you asked for input here's my 2 cents worth: one I probably would have tail wrapped the trailer with BOTH main lines on it and instead of the small blue endless loop sling you used I'd probably have gone for the wide 20 foot strap.. Only I'd have the rotator on the drives and Talaon with the western star on the trailer. Maybe even have the Western Star face the wrong way just a short highway shut down while you all did that. Again just my ideas & yes 2 rotators would have been nice, but how many jobs do you do that requires 2 & both would need to stay close to home for that reason.
How the Tractor remained upright is beyond Me.
Must be a newer Tractor with a lighter Frame to twist like that.
Much Thanks Ron & Crew...
Mike M.
As I was watching the cars going by at a good clip, I was wondering if the cop was out of his car motioning for them to slow down. I don't think a lot of drivers know what slow down, move over means. I was truly concerned for all of you. Good job to all of the Mid-West crew.
@ Roy Ordway.....I agree with you that the traffic was moving far too fast through the recovery area!
However, I believe that - depending on the jurisdiction - when the recovery crew supplies its own "Traffic Control" crew on these long-winded recoveries, the local cop-shop withdraws its own officers, as they can be used elsewhere.
I can accept this arrangement; the problem is that the general attitude of drivers (both private as well as commercial vehicle) won't slow down if they don't see a cop-car or two parked on the shoulder, as it's basically akin to work-zones....
It's a well-known fact that few drivers actually do slow down to just below the posted work-zone speed-limit in general and when workmen are around, in particular.
My penalty-suggestion for anyone found speeding through a work-zone (active) and/or live-recovery site should be to spend 24-hours as a "human orange/black cone" which are used to separate the live-lanes with the work-zone. Dress the offenders in "Depends", put them in hand & foot-cuffs, slide the cone over their head and position them at the beginning of the work-zone......"enjoy, we'll pick you up tomorrow, same time" (if the offender survives, I guarantee you they wont' ever reoffend again.....on the other hand, if they don't survive (heart attack or being hit by another speeder, good riddance! (btw....I'm really not kidding).
Thanks for your time Lee
One BIG THING that’s so Awesome about ur total approach to your way of doing your job .. Amount of attention & detail you spend on NOT doing any further damage to their already compromised equipment you retrieve…. Other similar operations don’t seem to be as good.
Hello Hello everyone from Rensselaer Indiana and I'm new enjoy your channel
Welcome to Rons world....
Check out some of Ron's older videos! Look up the 3 part video they did on moving a huge cemetery gravestone.
I am a big fan of what u do I'm a 25 year driver out of lavergne TN I'm amazed what u have to carry in the tater equipment wise thank you for what you do
Great job Ron,just shows the versatility of the tator,stay safe and keep the vids coming.
Immer wider sehe ich Ihre Kommentare gern. Man merkt, wer die Physik beherrscht!!!Viele Jahre habe ich gleiche Situationen erleben müssen.---Viele Grüße aus Deutschland.----
Good recovery love ur attention to not tearing stuff up videos don’t do justice 4 angles and ready to turn back over good leader 2 ur guys God bless and have a blessed day 👍
Great video, Ron! The way you are so "nimble" on the job is impressive! I know it's because you have to be, but it is still impressive. Do you ever review these jobs with your team for training or improvement purposes? Similar to a coach reviewing "tapes" with his team, I think it would be good for all the team players to see themselves in action which may identify areas of improvement. Most of the guys on this job knew almost instictively what to do - due mostly in part to the training you have given them as well as experience on the job - while a couple seemed to need more instruction and more often. The 'tape" would let the team members see where they can improve through critical analysis as well as provide an opportunity for praise in work well performed. Again, great video. Glad it worked out well for you and all are safe! God bless!
So good to see Talon, glad no one got hurt and trailer upright.
I'm sure Ron has thought a lot about what could have been done differently. I don't know if turning the rotator around was an option at that point in the road.
Great video Ron and Crew very tippy recovery but orchestrated slowly and professionally with all involved stay safe Ron and Crew.
Nice to see Talon. Thank you.
Wow...!!! That was some job and I can see why it was as long as it was... Awesome work everyone and precision & careful thinking on all fronts guys... Good to see everyone...!
Good job guys. It was good to see Talon on a job. It was good to see how you got the job done with 1 rotator, 1 heavy tow and 1 medium duty. It definitely would be nice to have 2 rotators but the way you did it still =10. Might be time to get the M100…😊
Excellent job Ron and crew....good to see Talon again.
So, blown out side on the trailer, bent frame on the truck, and you had me on the edge of my seat the entire recovery. I was willing to bet when you opened the trailer doors all the pallets would be tipped over with the top of the load leaning against the side. Could not help but wonder why you didn't turn Tater around and snatch the trailer up and onto the road but do understand how unstable it was. Also wanted to see a photo of the tractor with the trailer off to see if the drive wheels all sat on the ground LOL. Great job Ron and wonderful to see Talon working outside.
epic set down, RON n crew are the TOP of their game. ☺👍👍
YES, That blue strap OFFICIALLY belongs in a HERO cabinet on display at HQ with stats of this job, and how long it had to endure the load1🤩
Mr Pratt you and your crew did an awesome job I love watching your videos because I learn a lot from so keep the great work sir and stay safe out there ❤
Ron this is Alan sandwich I was a truck driver myself for 23 years and I think you guys did great on this job perfect slow and easy slow easy steps watching everything being careful to keep the truck up right y'all did a great job on this buddy awesome job looks great you did wonderful I love it awesome buddy awesome your team work great together absolutely wonderful I loved it wonderful job buddy y'all did great and happy New Year to you now see you later bud bye
Awesome job. Job was a success and everyone got to go home safely. 100% success.
Hey Ron, you earned your money on this one! This took some maneuvering; your crew looks very tired and drained! Stay Safe, and God Bless you and your crew!
I saw your comment last night before bed about constructive criticism and suggestions. Here’s a couple of thoughts I have about this job after only watching the first third.
1) You never opened the doors to check condition of the payload to know where your likely center of gravity would be. You only found out once the trailer was upright and bulging.
2) The centerline of your boom was right at the back of the trailer. As the trailer is picked and swung towards your rig, the centerline of your boom slowly falls behind the trailer, hence you begin to lose your greatest point of leverage at the top corner of the trailer. Had most of the payload remained low, this would have been okay. But now with the bulge, your center of gravity has shifted, and the majority of your lift is on the blue strap line which quickly became precarious. However, when the strap slipped, the truck was mostly upright at the rear. Lucky?
3) When the truck initially came to rest, which we can assume was fairly abrupt, the payload would have shifted forward and then to the side as it laid over. From what I can gather from your inquiry to the driver, was that it was palletized copy paper at 44k lbs. Was it a full load of 26 pallets? Paper is extremely heavy in bulk loads. If the trailer was half full, you could have been solely picking the empty end of the trailer and it could have easily split open like a tin can in the middle.
4) Lastly is just a leadership observation. Some of your team understands their role on the job site. The problem here is some. Everyone should understand what is needed even if they don’t get to push the buttons. Everyone should also know the equipment, where things are on the rigs and how to use them. You shouldn’t have to direct others and tell them where to find things.
Keep up the good work. I love your content.
What an amazing recovery,tough job but very well done by everyone
Another successful job. 👍 That's what matters. I enjoyed watching as always. You guys be safe and God bless
I'm digging Ethan's neon green cowboy hard hat. Now i kind of want one.
Another successful recovery Ron. I like your training methods. Havagudun and stay safe Brother.
I watched another towing company doing a rolled over car hauling trailer with a Ford 1 ton pick up still attached and on it's side. They did not do a low pull. Nor did they use anything more than the size chain than what is used as a break away chain on a small single axel trailer. When they rolled the trailer and pick up, it came down hard. There was a second pickup. There they used the snatch block that was way smaller than your smallest one. Then they didn't chalk any of the wheels, so it slid rather than roll. They sure made you guys look like professionals. Even when things don't work well for you guys, it still is better than what those other guys were doing!!!
I miss watching you and Talon work together. 👍👍♥️♥️🇺🇸🇺🇸✌️🙏🏻
Hearing your Trepidation throughout this Recovery Ron Makes me appreciate you and Your Crew more. That was every bit of UGLY throughout. God bless you all
Fellers, that was a job and a half. Well done.
Hey Ron here is another method to do. Have the tator in the slow lane further forward then have a main line on each of the passenger corners and an aux line to the wheels on the trailer and rear frame of the truck. Then use the WS to pull from the front. This would allow you to grab the trailer then support it while being able to side pull on it using the tator. Another option on top of this would be to side pull the rear frame of the truck with the WS and front pull with the lil pete.
Was sure glad to see Talon got put to work again. Yeah I know that he is shop manager just missed seeing him doing the hard work. LOL
Great job Ron. The only thing I can see that would have helped you would have been to have your truck facing away from the wreck so you could have worked of the rear of the truck and picked it up and set it down in the road. All in all great job 👍.
Ron that makes for a long day what a job. I see you were missing someone is Mike still with ya. Good job guys🤙🇺🇸🤙
Thanks so much for what you do. God's blessings to all.
Wow I bet that was stressful almost need another rotator for the job it’s cool to see work with what you got you and talon work good together be safe out there
Ron, I am by no means an operator. You did the best you could with what you had. I've watched every vid you have out there and have seen the other guys on yt as well. You said it yourself a few times in the vid. A second rotator was the only thing I see you could have done differently. Great work and stay safe brother.
Perhaps it's time to upgrade to a 2nd lol.
Your #1 of the main reasons why I started my RUclips channel sir 🚧🚜
love the last few seconds... would have loved to see what the load looked like as you opened the trailer up... From the shadows, looks like it's about noon, so was several hours to clear the issues :)
First
Nope
Not even close
Good to see Talon back on a recovery. He was well train and fell right back into recovery as if he was doing it every day.
You had asked about other ways to do this job earlier. Only thing I would suggest would have been to hold the back if the trailer with a heavy beside the rotator and moved it toward the nose of the trailer to get that on the flat surface of the shoulder sooner.
I can see where unloading on the side of the road as being a no go-that lean with traffic concerns would be a tough call for general safety.
You mentioned a second rotator several times, but you did the job well, it just took a while. If a total road shut down would have been required, then probably would have needed to reach out to another company with a rotator. Not ideal but I know there is one about 40 miles south of that scene.
Well, in asking for comments for "what could have been" ya opened a can of worms. My thoughts have a few different ways to go.
First thing I woulda done different is a slight change of rigging that would have made things a bit easier in the long run by keeping the blue line accessible. Hook it into one of your hard points on the back of the tator and leave her on free spool, easy enough to winch it back in, and in a pinch it can also be used to brace the boom and keep side stress off the assembly.
Second thing, that blue loop was a champ for holding on like it did, but to quote a master of recoveries, "overrigging is underrated" (Ron Pratt). Best bet would have been to use one of the wide straps, angle aluminum to spread it across the corner, and shackle and chain to hook to the trailer frame. 10 times the security.
Third thing, totally could have handled that roll with the auxiliary winches (1 low, 1 for strap)
Fourth thing, angling the tator into place rather than parking as close as you started from, probably would have saved yourself about 4 mini heart attacks from almost seeing a DOT bumper tear up your rim and tire, I know it's an armchair quarterback response, but I've always been more cautious. If you hit capacity on the lift, can always move a bit closer.
Fifth and final thought, sometimes ya gotta go backwards to go forwards. After the roll, if you had picked the trailer and swung it back further into the ditch, without the one set of wheels up on the road way, you could have hit a stable point to set it down and get repositioned and re rigged to lift it back up onto the roadway. From that stable point, could have either gone to lift the front up to the road, or low hooked and held it while the Vulcan or Lil' Pete pulled it up.
My thoughts aside, great job by yourself and the whole crew on a nightmare job. It didn't go as easy as planned but you upheld the tradition.
Improvise
Adapt
Overcome.
Thank you, these are the kind of suggestions I was looking for. Well thought and explained. I especially liked the suggestion of leaving the blue line down where it was accessible. Normally, I would have been using it and for some reason, I didn't think about needing it at the time. Again, hindsight.... You brought up some plausible ideas and gave them in a respectful manner, which is greatly appreciated. Thanks again and God bless.
Great video, good to see Talon back out in the field.
A long roll-over video with all hands on deck including Talon. A full package video.
Nobody was hurt, no equipment was damaged. Despite the difficulties, a good & safe recovery.
I was wondering why you didn't have a 2nd top strap like you've done on other roll-over jobs. Anchored towards the nose of the trailer and connected to one of the auxiliary winches on the Rotator.
Since the load shifted forward and to the right, that seems like it would have worked better to prevent it rolling back over til all wheels were back on pavement.
That was a rough one indeed, stay safe out there guys!
What it is it they say? "The tough pesky ones are the most rewarding"...good job!
Working like a well oiled machine!! Great job one and all!!
happy to see talon again these days in the videos!
That was a hard 1 to do have a wonderful day God bless all of you
Ron as usual so many ways to do such a job however you and your team executed it in a professional way no one was hurt no equipment damage on your part and the load stayed in the trailer I'd say it was a win win for Midwest truck glad to see Talon get out of the shop and blow the stink off himself lol
It's great to see Talon out on a job!
59:04 - From A videographer & Editor - I noticed it... I was on edge myself...
You guys got this... 👍👍👏👏
I got quite a kick out of the Top Gun reference you slipped in there. Haven't seen the new sequel yet, I will soon, but the original is still one of my all time favorite moves, more than three decades later. I watch it at least once every year or two and know most of the lines by heart.
ron and crew what a job i was tired watching it gold metal job
