Stay safe Ron and your crew! Tow truck driver hit and killed yesterday near Atlanta, Ga. He survived a similar wreck a few years ago. He was working on side of interstate hooking up to a dump truck. We have the move over law but people still don’t get over! Prayers for his family!
We had an operator struck while changing a tire on the side of a road similar to where Ron is working at the start of this video. Vehicle hit the back of his truck and it ended up on top of him. Airlifted to hospital and has a long recovery ahead.
That is why I am so glad to see Ron works with the L.E.O's and FD. To help keep everyone safe... Looks like the arrow boards help get folks moved over to....
Other than the property damage, it was kind of a funny video. The first car was a little small. You should have thrown it back. It looks like you could have another fishing boat easy enough. The bumper going back into the drink was a variation of Murphy's Law. "Anytime there is a rope, cable or hose being pulled across a surface, the chance it will snag on an object is directly proportional to the inconvenience caused by said snagging." Great video Ron!
I learned something from you today and was always told you would lean something new from others I have never thought about the 2 snatch block deal or the board . Thank you and God bless you and your crew
Please make sure that everyone is Moving over for our friends in the towing industry. Unfortunately because people DO NOT move over my community lost a towing owner yesterday. Stay safe Midwest Truck
I can assure you that if the SUV was driving slower, they would not have crashed. Thats minimum 50mph. I can also assure you that if the Cruze was driving slower, they would not have hydroplaned and crashed. @@SeanONeill13
Not going to happen. And safe following distances now gone as well. With everyone right on your butt assuming everything will be as it is supposed to be, then when you are forced to slow dramatically or stop unexpectedly it is a multi- vehicle collision every time.
Hi. got to take both as a win, a bit wet underfoot but not raining and no swimming needed, not even gumboots. Saw a great trick the other day with a car where the front wheels were locked off center, once it was on the bed if the tilt tray the towie put a cheap plastic wheel chock under the front of each front tire and as the wheel rode up onto the wedge they just slid over the tray strait to the winch. Cheers MD
I have been watching for 7 1/2 years now and I remember when Ethan was a young boy helping you at what you use to call the money pit, digging out a tank truck rear wheel. It is impressive to see him now. Nice job to all of you.
Ethan sure is coming long ways with his skills. He did have 2 wonderful teachers (Ron and his dad) I remember in some of the early vids there was 3 generations on a job.... Wonderful work the team always dose. :)
I always enjoy watching your videos Ron. There is a neverending love you have there for the people you help and I love that part of you. I know one thing, Our Father upstairs is truly happy to see that too. God Bless your heart and everything that that you do.
Gully washer, frog strangler but what really gives you notice of a lot of incoming rain is when frogs start putting on Mae Wests, that's a life vest for the younger generation.
Thankfully no injuries in that rollover crash, absolutely amazing, and the Lord was definitely watching over them. And Ethan's hair is getting LONG! Looks good on him. Blessings to your crew and and family.
Maybe a little late on this, but congrats on reaching half a million subs! Not surprising, as you are my favorite towing recovery channel. Thanks for continuing to grace our Friday mornings with your great videos. Stay safe and healthy.
Judging by the height of that corn and, how green it is, this must've happened a few months ago. No matter...WOW! That's a lot of water laying around! As always, be safe and God bless you, your crew and your equipment!
Ron you have such a teaching personality. It is so enjoyable to watch you share your knowledge and skills with others. You also have such great patience in what ever you are doing - a wonderful quality to have.
I hear you about the rain. From 1 June to 31 August we only received 3.5" of the usual 11" of rain that we average. From aid August to mid September we went 25 days with nothing. Since then we've had 6+ inches which has been great for the local farmers while they try to harvest their fields.
Ron. I know some are not happy with the long drives we enjoy the different scenery If you drive here in Central Oregon it’s pine Forest and open cattle grazing land. Thank You from La Pine Oregon
Seen another video of a rear loader redi-mix truck that broke through a wooden decked bridge. They too had a tater and a crane to lift it out. Twice they laid it on its side, before they got it back on it's wheels. They sure made you look good compared to what they were doing. Great video and thanks for the 2 in 1 treat.
good morning her in the Philippines, im a silent pollower for about 3years now Ron. and im happy to watch your your job & Etan. w/team, stay safe always and god bless us 🇵🇭🤗👍🙏
Life is too short for a job you hate getting up in the morning to go to. Tell the folks who are shocked that you enjoy your work to take a long hike off a short pier. Stay safe out there.
Morning Ron stay safe and prayers for your family and all of your employees. Have a blessed weekend. Love watching the fishing video of the cars glad nobody was hurt
Is the internal sounder the divert arrow on the light bar? The warning light controls seem really complex here. Best thing about Ron: “no injuries”. Yes. That very much is the important bit.
Ron very good job on that recovery on both of them actually. This video is the way it should be done. The video before was very unsafe. Keep up the good work.
I keep expecting to see Ron use the boom like a fishing pole up and down when he gets these fishing jobs. I think it would be cool to let the wrecker simulate a catch
I wish hydroplaining class was mandatory. In the army, we were trained to drive in any condition. After i got discharged, i drove a school bus and skidded on ice and with my training, i was able to keep it on the road. People think they can drive normally in bad condition. You guys do a great job. Not just by towing and recovering. Just the empithy i can hear in your voice. As veteran we get thanked for our service but you guys provide even more service. I want to say, "thank you for all your service!"
We could so with some of that rain now too. I'm on my last tank as we haven't had rain for over 3 months. I get 3 months out of a tank and only have two. I've never been so low, even in the last drought which lasted 7 years.
Old cars were tough so the people inside were hurt in a crash, modern cars absorb lots of crash energy in the shell and the airbags protect people. Once the airbags have blown it's a right off though new bags and new trim costs much money.
My company has been getting 337s then 536s. They are really reliable and has plenty of oomph. So, next time you need a new one, look into 536 - bigger cab. More room for your gloves and the maters. 337s are a bit cramped, it's a good thing that you're on a bit of the short side, Ron! As always, I enjoyed the video(s).
Fishing again Ron and I guess got 2 fish aka cars. And I hope your guys flooding problem ends soon. And I like watching your videos a lot and God Bless.
The arrow broad on the flat deck is cool. I wish tow trucks got listed as first responders in all states. Its amazing they arent. I love the sheriff officer looking at his watch when u said good morning again. 😂
That is a landoll trailer, which besides recovery companies like what Ron is doing they are EXTREMELY hard to find compared to Flatbeds that tend to be 4' tall and do not maneuver like you see how dropping to the floor. In my world, Landolls are like unicorns!
I like watching car accident videos, i think they're very intriguing to me for some reason. I am pretty glad I came across this channel! I like the way everything is set up, the camera so we can see everything. Thank you for what you do, im glad everyone was okay! That would've been pretty scary. Also love the "Thirsty car", that was hilarious and made me laugh lol. Keep up the good work and you and your crew stay safe!
Gully washers. We use those terms in NC too. I don't hear it called that much anymore. But you get those sudden storms and it ends up raining dogs and cats then you know you have seen one.
Stay safe Ron and your crew! Tow truck driver hit and killed yesterday near Atlanta, Ga. He survived a similar wreck a few years ago. He was working on side of interstate hooking up to a dump truck. We have the move over law but people still don’t get over! Prayers for his family!
Rubberneckers gonna rubberneck.

I'd say that the car did a good job of absorbing the impact and protecting everyone.
I learned something from you today and was always told you would lean something new from others I have never thought about the 2 snatch block deal or the board . Thank you and God bless you and your crew
Please make sure that everyone is Moving over for our friends in the towing industry. Unfortunately because people DO NOT move over my community lost a towing owner yesterday. Stay safe Midwest Truck
People really just need to slow down under bad weather conditions. I was always told it's better to get there late than not getting there at all
How do you know it was speed at fault?
I can assure you that if the SUV was driving slower, they would not have crashed. Thats minimum 50mph.
I can also assure you that if the Cruze was driving slower, they would not have hydroplaned and crashed. @@SeanONeill13
Not going to happen. And safe following distances now gone as well. With everyone right on your butt assuming everything will be as it is supposed to be, then when you are forced to slow dramatically or stop unexpectedly it is a multi- vehicle collision every time.
probably going 60+ when should have been going about 45? in those conditions?
That light board on your truck is Swweeeettttt!! Stay safe my friend!!
MUCH Thanks Guys.. Love a 2fer every now & then .

Here we are it's Friday, time to start the day with another video from Ron Pratt. Stay safe out there everyone.
Another fine recovery! Funny looking combine though....lol.
Thank you for the services you offer your community. If I'm ever traveling in your area and experience trouble, I know which company I'll call.
Hi Ron,, you know I never get tired of this song.. I love it.. 😅
I always enjoy watching your videos Ron. There is a neverending love you have there for the people you help and I love that part of you. I know one thing, Our Father upstairs is truly happy to see that too. God Bless your heart and everything that that you do.

Good that all the people were fine in both cars! Water on the road and speed will put you in the ditch in a hurry!
Maybe a little late on this, but congrats on reaching half a million subs! Not surprising, as you are my favorite towing recovery channel. Thanks for continuing to grace our Friday mornings with your great videos.
Stay safe and healthy.
He's def one of the best out there!
Great job. Glad no one was injured.
Judging by the height of that corn and, how green it is, this must've happened a few months ago. No matter...WOW! That's a lot of water laying around!
As always, be safe and God bless you, your crew and your equipment!
Thank you so much for the video please post more videos a week God bless
Ron you have such a teaching personality. It is so enjoyable to watch you share your knowledge and skills with others. You also have such great patience in what ever you are doing - a wonderful quality to have.
You make it look so easy but I know its not. Stay safe out there, Ron. Your really good at what you do. God bless.

Stay safe over there in your coming winter months... from Australia 🇦🇺
2:44 No normal gully-washer, Ron - that's what my in-laws would call a _toad-strangling_ gully washer. 👍
Ron. I know some are not happy with the long drives we enjoy the different scenery If you drive here in Central Oregon it’s pine Forest and open cattle grazing land. Thank You from La Pine Oregon
You had a lot more rain that we did. I am in Indiana and our rain has been very scarce all year. No pretty leaves because of the lack of rain.
Seen another video of a rear loader redi-mix truck that broke through a wooden decked bridge. They too had a tater and a crane to lift it out. Twice they laid it on its side, before they got it back on it's wheels. They sure made you look good compared to what they were doing.
Great video and thanks for the 2 in 1 treat.
good morning her in the Philippines, im a silent pollower for about 3years now Ron. and im happy to watch your your job & Etan. w/team, stay safe always and god bless us 🇵🇭🤗👍🙏
wish i had your enthusiasm early in the morning . mornings are ruff
Especially monday mornings... my dad used to say that mondays are one helluva way to spend 1/7th of your life...
Great job on both vehicles
Thanks for my Friday entertainment! Stay safe out there Ron & crew!
Come on, Ron let's roll buddy 🙏 Thanks
Keep up the great work!!
What a way to start the morning ....Great catch guys so glad everyone was okay...love your videos. As always stay safe and May God Bless..❤❤
27:10 The 4024 Doesn't sound to happy with high idle on.
Great job done. Be safe in the rain. Prayers go out to the other two driver in Ga. Hope he will be okay.
Good work!! BRAVO!!
Life is too short for a job you hate getting up in the morning to go to. Tell the folks who are shocked that you enjoy your work to take a long hike off a short pier. Stay safe out there.
been watching since Tallon days one of my favs is you and your dad going after one with side by side in woods think it was a u haul was crazy
Morning Ron stay safe and prayers for your family and all of your employees. Have a blessed weekend. Love watching the fishing video of the cars glad nobody was hurt
Is the internal sounder the divert arrow on the light bar? The warning light controls seem really complex here.
Best thing about Ron: “no injuries”. Yes. That very much is the important bit.
I think the internal beeper is triggered when the PTO is engaged and the transmission is put in gear.
Another great job by you guys. Love watching your videos.
Thanks so much! Thank you for watching and God bless.
Enjoyed watching the video Ron 😊
Ron very good job on that recovery on both of them actually. This video is the way it should be done. The video before was very unsafe. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for all the good exclent videos

Thank you Ron for all your great videos. I have learnt so much about recovery from you. God bless you, your family and your business.
I think that was beyond a gully washer and up to a frog strangler.
Ron, two great winch outs, enjoyed watching, thanks.
Great recovery work! Stay safe!
I’m loving that you’re showing the smaller jobs with the rollback, not just the rotator.
You had me at fishing
Another great video from you and the crew. I’ve got the same message tone for my phone.
Just love watching your RUclips Videos Ron Pratt it a lot better than watching TV may God continue to bless you and your Family and Employees
Wish you could send some of the rain to the drought areas
We have those gully washers down here in Georgia also....
❤All our Grannies were raised alike ❤
I guess in your line of work, there is no limits on the fishing.😉 A belated congrats on the 500k subscribers.
Looks like you got the Western Star painted.
Another great job done by you guys.glad to hear there were no injuries.
Yes please be safe out there I always pray for every two truck driver cause my cousin is one and he got shot on the job in Durham a few years ago
Old cars were tough so the people inside were hurt in a crash, modern cars absorb lots of crash energy in the shell and the airbags protect people. Once the airbags have blown it's a right off though new bags and new trim costs much money.
I relley miss listing to you dad talk vary well put together
Thank God nobody was hurt on both incidents. Wow, that's quite some rain. Stay safe Ron . God bless 🙌
We have had rain every weekend and most of September.
It has been crazy.
Just in time for breakfast! Hell yeah!!
My company has been getting 337s then 536s. They are really reliable and has plenty of oomph. So, next time you need a new one, look into 536 - bigger cab. More room for your gloves and the maters. 337s are a bit cramped, it's a good thing that you're on a bit of the short side, Ron! As always, I enjoyed the video(s).
Fishing again Ron and I guess got 2 fish aka cars. And I hope your guys flooding problem ends soon. And I like watching your videos a lot and God Bless.
Ron is that the western star truck you are using.. nice work Ron..
The day Mater went fishing and got a good catch 😂
Good morning from raiiny New Hampshire.
Heavy rains expected until Sunday.
That second vehicle must have had some speed to go that far.
The arrow broad on the flat deck is cool. I wish tow trucks got listed as first responders in all states. Its amazing they arent.
I love the sheriff officer looking at his watch when u said good morning again. 😂
😮 look like that bumper cover don't want to leave the car it's trying to swim back to it😅
Flatbed Ron videos are the best!!
That is a landoll trailer, which besides recovery companies like what Ron is doing they are EXTREMELY hard to find compared to Flatbeds that tend to be 4' tall and do not maneuver like you see how dropping to the floor. In my world, Landolls are like unicorns!
Well Ron would you rather have rain than Snow , eighter way you have to work init
Curiosity but does the farmer go after the driver for the value of the crops that were destroyed?
Good job working in all that water. Stay safe
" good recoveries Ron....stay safe you all....god bless
Good Evening There My Good Big Bro Ron Pratt Sir & I'll Be Praying For All Of The People Involved In The Automobile Accident
I like watching car accident videos, i think they're very intriguing to me for some reason. I am pretty glad I came across this channel! I like the way everything is set up, the camera so we can see everything. Thank you for what you do, im glad everyone was okay! That would've been pretty scary.
Also love the "Thirsty car", that was hilarious and made me laugh lol.
Keep up the good work and you and your crew stay safe!
Gully washers. We use those terms in NC too. I don't hear it called that much anymore. But you get those sudden storms and it ends up raining dogs and cats then you know you have seen one.
Another outstanding job. STAY SAFE OUT THERE.
yep that water still rushing through there is what makes ditches dangerous ripping along and no really visible sign on top of the water
ron you are doing a wonderful job be safe and god bless from battle creek michigan
Awesome as always
Was the white car a Tucson by Hyundai? Amazing job you do under all conditions.
Good call on putting two shorter videos together, especially since they were on the same day. 👍
Once you had the car upon the road why did you not put in neutral to bring it upon the row back ? Just curious !
I am so thankful God was looking out for those people in both vehicles, but even more in that 2nd one!
Glad everyone was ok in these. Great job by you & your crew. Be careful out there & God bless
That's why I have a pair of chest waders in my truck. People laugh but I go home just as soaking wet as everyone else most days.
Great video.
Incredible crash due to the wet road surface & so in to Maize, The important thing is that was not injured & but that car is total loss!
Ron, when you said go for a little drink & that the car was thirsty, I busted out laughing. lol
Thanks for watching and God bless.
Y'all might just be getting alot of rain next week it's supposed to rain badly in Oklahoma this week stay safe 🙏🏽 Ron
