- Introducing Dalton to our team. In this episode I'm training Dalton in unit #17 our Peterbilt 579 road tractor and our trailer T-1 a Trail-Eze TE801 float, ramp, super-tilt, trailer as it may be know in various parts of the world. We go to rescue a stranded driver from a HEATED situation....His brakes or wheel bearings heat up and lock up on a Hazardous Materials (HazMat) bulk tank filled with Propane. Thankfully the driver stopped before things reached the combustion point. Talk about an "explosive" situation! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

Dalton, IMO you have one of the best instructors that I've ever seen. Pay attention to what he says and does and you will learn fast enough. :-)
Dalton is lucky, he has you, Mr Pratt, as an instructor and mentor. He is in good hands and, providing he pays attention, he'll make an outstanding member of your team.
Mr. Pratt, I am impressed with the patience you demonstrated while teaching Dalton the ropes.
Reminds me of when I first started work, many moons ago. To get a good trainee to be an essential part of your company, needs a good teacher. You are one of them Ron. Some companies don't have good teachers, and therefore, don't know how to invest, which a recruit is. You do. Keep it up. What is a good idea is to wrap tools that belong to the vehicle being brought in wrapped up in boxes/bags with your company logo and contact details on it. Word of mouth is just as essential as paying for advertising
As always a great way to spend a Friday morning watching an expert do his job. The outstanding thing this time is the expert teaching. I hope I was this understanding during my 50 years of teaching.
When it come to a HAZ-MAT load, moreis better and safety is always JOB#1. GOOD job Ron and your a excellent teacher. I watched quite a few of your
Videos and some more then once. Keep it up and stay safe out there.
Ron, you have a tremendous amount of patients when it comes to teaching! I have had my patients tested many times while teaching newbies. Some days were better then others.
FYI: Patience, as in keeping your calm. Patients are the people who visit doctors.
Great to see how patient you are with explaining your way of doing things
Ron - if you can, show this to Dalton... ---> " " " "Welcome Dalton...!" " " " From one of Ron's RUclipsrs in Pittsburgh Pa...! Glad to see you're on the team... You have an Excellent teacher btw... We Love This Guy...! Ron is Always explaining what's going on and is HYPER SAFTEY conscious considering how dangerous the traffic and the job can be... Stay safe out there and again... Welcome to the team...!
Working with boss at first is always nerve racking at first. He’s going to get better. Great patience.
Yes, probably a cooked bearing or a seized caliper. After a couple of hours, it cooled off enough to allow forward movement. That truck is a rolling bomb, even at the best of times.
When they flip, its a major hazmat incident, with miles of highway shut down.
Careful attention to detail pays off, and you can see that, in every decision Ron makes.
ruclips.net/video/wcp0aX9_M2s/видео.html And this is why...
@@dennishannan3690 This was a very unfortunate incident, but an excellent show of a BLEVE and how dangerous they are. I pray to never be first-hand witness of one. Thanks and God bless.
This video reminds me that I’m not a good teacher, I’ve worked by myself for so long that nobody can quite do things to suit me. It’s a curse really. Props to Ron for patience, but Dalton, be proactive and watch ALL of Ron’s videos and learn his ways so he doesn’t have to tell you EVERYTHING!
Training Day. Welcome Dalton. You've got the best teacher ever. (Just my 2 cents).
I look forward to seeing Dalton grow into his new career. He has a great teacher!
They say a job worth doing is a job worth doing well. I don't see much of that in the real world, except here, with you. Big respect!
Hey Rotator Ron! Store the clips for the pins on those tow points in the pins in the hooks instead of the loose pile of 6 items to get lost! 2 complete units of all required pieces are bigger but are less like!y to be lost! Loose in the original box one clip was lost before it was ever used! Ride ride ride!
You are an excellent teacher. Patience and understanding will result in a competent hard working employee in the future. Great job sir.
Perfect timing, lunchtime with Mr Ron.
If we had,more teachers,Like Ron,the world, would be, a better place!!! G
Cant wait to see more progress with Dalton. it helps me know what's going on when you explain it to a new person.
Always Good To See Other Peoples Kids Wanting To Be A Part Of The Business. For Instance Dalton. He Is A Very Quick Learner. The Nice Thing Is He Is Learning From Not Only Ron. He'll Learn Some Stuff From Is Dad When Needed.
Great job as always! Anyone that’s trained by you is lucky! Great teacher! I learn from watching your videos so it’s like you’re training more than 1 person. Thanks for the free classes 😂🤜🤛
Hi Dalton, welcome to the Midwest Trucks team. have fun and be safe.
Ron is showing a great deal of patience and mentoring ability on someone who seems to have the practical mechanical knowledge and experience of a university student studying political science. Let’s hope that with Ron’s tutelage he gains some wisdom and practical experience.
What a great early training opportunity this recovery proved to be; by the roadside but not with mega-busy life-on-the-line traffic, fair weather, patient client with no language barrier etc
Ron great video, your new man looks like he’ll do fine, asking questions is showing he wants to learn! Thanks for sharing. Kevin
Dalton isn’t shy about getting his hands dirty, or sliding under the truck. He’s had some experience around mechanical work I imagine. Good job. Good job also, paying attention to Ron.
Sure good watching you have good comms, in all my work experience having the ability to communicate well has been key to good outcomes
Great content. I'm not in the transportation industry, i'm an i/t guy just liking and respecting what you do with great care and skill
thanks for the video Ron, good call on using the trailer vs a wrecker. Not sure I would have thought to trailer a straight truck but lol you made a good call.
Ron I also meant to say that we had a tow truck driver hit on freeway and they drove off never find who did it so I'm glad you tell ur men to be careful oh yeah it happen in Decatur Illinois
You are correct safety is 1st no matter no matter what congratulations on the congratulations on the new person and job well done
Thank you for watching and God bless.
When I hauled haz mat here in California, on flatbed, trucks, standard was 4 chains(We used 5/16ths on light trucks), and 3/8ths on big trucks) depending on weight, I used 6 chains. I hauled mainly military vehicles. I doubled each chain. Only used ratchet binders on 80 thousand lb loads. Course you folks are recovery vehicles.
Dalton should be a great help for you Ron now and in the future. Another great job by you fellows. Drive safely now.
Ron, thank you for chain binder training. I'll be sure to turn my chin out the way and use those long arms God gave me. Keep up these training vids for sure. I look forward to the training. God Bless and may the peace of our Lord Jesus be with you and family.
Thanks for that binder opening up trick. Never thought about spinning them like that.
Two things, presuming the bobtail has air ride, do you dump it and compress the mechanical springs, or leave it up, and just tighten up against the air? And secondly, if you’re hauling a hazmat truck on the trailer, do the placards on the bobtail count as the placards, or need the rig be placarded too? I could just wait until the end and see what you do, but that’s no fun. I’d imagine they’d count with exception of the front of the cab, but I’ve only done hazmat once, and not as a wrecker operator.
And thank you a thousand times for your words of wisdom on cone placement and not having your back to traffic. When I’m on fire scenes on the highway, I end up on cone and sign duty, and walk the exact same way you instruct. I can actually walk backwards fairly quickly now. But given the number of times I’ve had to jump over the guardrail to dodge a motorist, it is probably the most valuable first day advice you can give.
Stay safe, god bless.
Jake
Placards on "load". HazMat shipping document on seat when truck is parked, in driver's door pouch when driver is in truck. Wrecker driver should have it when hauling/towing along with Emergency Response Guidebook. Any incident with wrecked propane...run uphill and if possible upwind asap. Vapors are heavier than air and sink to lowest point in area...one spark...boom.
Dump air from suspension.
The talk from @33:45 to @37:30 summarizes every Ron Pratt video perfectly: safety first!
You guys fixed the propane truck too. Keeping everyone busy. LOL
Great Video!!! Hello Dalton Your learning from 1 of the best
Reminds me of when I first learned how to use load binders. I don’t miss those lever binders at all.
I have the same thinking when using the crane at work, no such thing as overkill, only extra overhead.
Good work.
"You know what'd _really_ slow this job down? Dropping a load."
You need a light bar on the back of the tractor up at the top. That would help a lot.
It was very common for the floor mounted treadle valves on the transit school buses to freeze up with the salt from the drivers shoes, just an fyi with all the buses you service. noticed that the brake lights were on when you unloaded.
Your an excellent teacher great job by both of you
Apparently Dalton has never seen a Ron Pratt video. Even though I'm a truck driver that has never driven a tow, I knew what to do from watching Ron Pratt videos.
When I started my last job the guy who trained me said it takes 3 months to learn it 6 months to know it and a year to be good at it -😊- holds true
I learn a lot from this video. Ron trained me too , great video
Hey dalton you are working with one of the best in the industry
Ooooooh! A newbie. So how many new people did you have to hire? I've been waiting to find out since you put your help wanted out on a video. Great thinking. He looks like he's doing good so far. Congrats to Dalton. Scored a great job with great people.
Work FASCINATES ME--- I can sit and watch it all day!!! ha. (but then, I'm 65 and got mashed between two trucks in 99 and can't... )...
"On the Job Training", or "OJT". one of the terms inherited from the U.S. Air Force to the Turkish Air Force. Most of the technical training was according to the standard USAF regulations. Greetings from Turkey.
Ron is one easy teacher
I can't remember if these are the exact words he used or not. But this was definitely his philosophy. If a 2x4 will work, a 4x4 will work better. ;-}}
Welcome Dalton!
truer words have not been spoken!!
At the beginning footage it looks like you can reach up and touch the clouds!
Enjoying the accelerated drive, it's a good compromise between those who do/don't like the 'to the scene' segment. One observation, folks on those roads sure seem to understand lane discipline better that Colorado where I live or pretty much anywhere I've driven since moving to the states. I thought "actually using the left lane for overtaking rather than blocking traffic" was a misunderstood mind boggling concept this this side of the Pond. Is that just better drivers or better enforcement?
My opinion may not count for much but -I- thot he did an excellent job for first day!!!
BTW Ive had a disc brake seize up and cause vibrations and a hot hub.!!
Looks like I lucked out on the brake guess and suggestion. (I probably have almost as many years as both of you combined. - Im 86 LOLOL) Thanks for another "exciting" video.
I had a thought about this particular rig. When loading and unloading, all the strobe lights appear to be obstructed. What if you had 2 prominent strobes, on tripods, similar to your DeWalt work light units? Placed behind the recovery scene, they would be fully visible throughout the operation.
This is a great idea. As a fellow towing and recovery operator the biggest problem is durability and ease of use. But if a solution became available that solved these issues I'd buy them.
I shopped around the internet and didn't see anything like what I envisioned. Might have to get a light, and a tripod, and fashion your own .
Hear that truck approach you guys at 37:55 and Smokey and The Bandit came to mind.
David drove the trail-eze cab and trailer
I hope nothing bad happened to David.
David and his wife had a child. I don't know if that was part of why he made the decision to leave us, but he did leave us. I wish he hadn't and he would have a job here if he still wanted it.
@@RonPratt Oh wow . . .I liked David... He seemed like a really nice guy...! And that is a bitter sweet situation... Congratulations on the child for David but sad you lost a good employee... If ya ever see David again Ron tell him, he will be missed... : /
Don’t blame him for leaving after welcoming a little one. Towing and recovery is one of the most dangerous jobs out there. Glad he left on good terms and that you said he has a job if he wants it speaks volumes for his character.
Beautiful sunny day for Daltons 1st day of training... with that deep blue sky and those puffy white clouds... Thanks for the drive video too Ron... Always like to see what's around and what you're dealing with on the drive to the job... Thanks for the video...! PS: How is Ethen doing...?
Ethan is doing better than his mom and dad, I believe. He is settling in well. We miss him terribly, but know this is a good thing for him. Thanks and God bless.
@@RonPratt Awesome to hear Ron about how Ethan is doing...! I understand about how you and your wife feel (missing him). I know it may sound silly but now that I'm a avid watcher of your RUclips channel (which I can't get enough of btw : ) I somehow feel like I'm part of the family (RUclips family for sure) I like many of us, miss seeing him too... We know he's your son and many of us were sad to see him leave the nest but know that you both have done such a wonderful job raising him, he will do fine. You know what they say (Absence makes the heart grow fonder) I'm sure he misses you guys too but knows in the back of his mind that he is a young man and is on his way to becoming a helpful, successful & awesome person in society... He has a family that is behind him, which is a super support system...! I don't know if you do this or not but it might help you and your wife with missing him... Set up a time where you can hold Zoom meetings on the computer. I know it's not the same as him being there at home but it might help a little, at least if you all can see and talk with him on Zoom... Just a thought if you haven't thought of it but thanks again for replying back about Ethan and glad to hear he's settling in... You're awesome Ron for taking the time...! Ray
Ron: He's a first day on the job guy, but he needs to be along way from helping you on the wrecker....
There's no overkill when it comes to safety. "More is better"
I know truck drivers who have been recognized for overkill with tie-down by DOT. Too much is never enough
I enjoyed this video and your a great teacher but boy i would have had a bit of a hard time on this one like i understand being new but it really seems like some of this is common sense but hey he will learn so its okay.
The boy did good
work hard
Lunch with the Mizzou crew. Fish, gator meat and Ron's video. 😋. Can't beat it.
And OJT for Dalton could actually be some time watching your RUclips videos. And don't you just loath how easily younger guys just spring up on the trailer?
10 years of springing off them and they learn ankles and knees don't like the daily abuse.
Ron really u had to bring the landoall I think the single axle would probably work
Ron what's going on, NO rain, NO overhead power lines, and it's daytime.
A. Speed Binders are nice but are low lbs rated
B. I would have put 10 chains on that load ...
C. Keep up the good work / videos
Spots on the windshield just thought I'd let you know
Hello Dalton
So…did that last cotter pin ever turn up? I didn’t see it at the end when you put them back.
highly impressed with you professionalism.I woul like a link to lemur l;ights. I could not make the one in the video work.
So the truck wasn't giving the driver "good vibrations" lol.
Ron you need to check out speed binders
Hi dalton
So is Talon no longer working for you? I saw on another video where you mentioned he arranged some transport from another company. If I remember correctly.
Hi dalton...
Ron, a question... I always see school buses in your yard. Are they in for scheduled maintenance or, are they that prone to breakdown? I know the "I" and "F" brands are not known for... well long life and high quality LOL.
There is one thing i can say about you take care of your equipment
Not like Jamie Davis from high way through hell
It would be nice to have new help watch one hr of training video each day the first week. You told him to place the cones heading to the next drive but I think he had the gidders Ha
no pin on outside that holds it ...first day ok.
Ron who’s are those trucks and buses outside in front of your business
Anyone else see the "missing" cotter key under the box flap?
Surprised you didn't have to take that back to the company's yard to get it unloaded before parking it on your lot for repair?
We were going to pull it into the shop and start working on it later that day when a bay got freed up, so it was never left unattended. Thanks for watching and God bless.
I'm just curious why you opted for the trailer vs a heavy wrecker? I realize they both get the job done, just wondering is all
When we were called we were not told which wheel or wheels were locked up and overheated. If it had been a rear wheel we still could have towed it from the rear, but I felt much safer doing it with the trailer so that ALL wheels were off the ground and not rolling. As it turns out, its a good thing we did it this way, because we found that the brake pedal was hanging, which is what caused the wheels/brakes to overheat and lock up....so ALL the brakes were dragging, but the right front was the tightest adjusted so it heated first. You can go back and look on the video and notice that when we load and unload the truck that its brake lights are illuminated. Had we towed it and not noticed the brake pedal being hung, it could have been a very bad day. Thanks for watching and God bless.
@@RonPratt makes sense, thanks for the answer, stay safe
New employees should watch your previous videos, they would learn a lot if they pay attention.
Hey Ron do you have any apparel, people can buy with your logos, and your company
What song is it that you play on the fast forward driving portions?
What is going on with little tow truck
38:25 ALWAYS keep the soft squishy bits away from the high-speed steel...
In an Argument between a human and a vehicle, the Human ALWAYS Loses...
Emergency Services will NOT thank you if you have that Argument since they're the ones that will be forced to scrape whats left of you off the road with a spatula...assuming they don't need a squeegee, shop vac and pressure washer to clean you up...
do you thing it's possible that we can someday hear the headset radio what the other person is saying... or is it to tecnical/big job to do??? like have a different audio save from it and put it on like a secundery audio track on the vid... like you have used Talon and was it Ethan's helmet cams... and it is nice to see different angels and other persons what they see and do when you do what you do...
I have always been impressed with Ron's emphasis on Safety, Organization, and Cleanliness. This video also demonstrates his skills as a teacher. He does a great job of explaining; What to do, while Demonstrating, stating Why he does the task this way to show relevance. Ron has great Patience with his student and constantly gives Encouragement while anticipating questions students may be reluctant to ask. Strong respect to you, Ron.
U deserve the likes Ross, great comment!
Thank you very much. God bless.
Never about speed, definitely shows the secret is proficiency and efficiency
I agree.
That's true. I found when I learn something new if you show me why you do it instead of just how to do it I have a tendency to learn faster and retain the knowledge.
Welcome Dalton!
Ron, I really truly enjoy all of your videos, I have watched a lot of different towing /recovery videos from other channels, and they don't seem as safe/by the book safety as every one of your videos, I also like how you explain every step of what you do, and treat us, just like part of your family, and we think of your family as part of our families as well!! Be careful/safe every single day God bless you, Ron/family!!! It's better to be extra safe, than deadly sorry!!!
Yeah there's no such thing as Overkill if I was working that load you will saw it come back with 12 tie-down points on it
I hope Dalton takes the time to look through all your previous videos, Ron, they are very helpful for showing procedure and safety. It might help Dalton as well to have someone walk through tool identification and use as well. I hope the man does well. We need good recovery teams out there.
A perfect "first week on the job" for the new personal to have to sit and take notes from his video's, then Monday the safety test.......
@@jonathanbair523 that would be a good way to do it!
Good job
