Look out for that.....TREE!!! Tator Team Daisy-Chain Recovery

- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Loaded semi went through the guard rail, into the woods, and partially rolled. This one took all 3 of our heavies tied together in a "daisy-chain" to pull it back up from BEHIND more guard rail. Difficult job to say the least... Thanks for watching and God bless. www.paypal.me/... www.midwesttruc... www.guardianan...

Super Ron to the rescue again. Good job getting this truck out of there. Just so you know Monster Energy is anti hydration
Mike is the Energy drink guy. During jobs like this I steadily drink a mixture of Pedialyte/water and drink Body Armour hydration drinks as well as take potassium pills and munch on peanut butter crackers. EVEN with all of that, this job took me down. Mike had to drive the Rotator from the job-site to the shop and I went straight from the shop to the ER. I was having severe muscle cramps/spasms to the point of being incapacitated. They filled me with IV fluids and heavy muscle relaxers to ease the spasms. It was bad enough that one of the nurses passing by my room thought I was having seizures. It was MISERABLE!!! But, after a couple hours I was out of the hospital. Then I was on light duty for about a week. I've suffered from heat exhaustion in the past and I thought that I had stayed ahead of it this time, but, apparently my fluid and sugar intakes were too little too late. I knew when my hands started cramping what was coming and I starting downing the drinks and snacks in hopes to of replenishing quickly. Unfortunately, my reserves had already been depleted. I know first hand how bad heat exhaustion can be. That's why I'm constantly telling my guys to stay hydrated. Just goes to show you, even though I THOUGHT I was hydrated, I was not, and I have learned more from this experience so that hopefully I can prevent it from happening again. Just another hazard of my profession. Thanks for watching and God bless.
Ron I was a medic in the army, so I know what you went through. I am so sorry to hear that you had that happen. I was the guy that yelled at the platoon to stay hydrated. God bless you sir and I hope you have a great day.
@@RonPratt I'm glad you are ok now! keep up the excellent work.
@@RonPratt I still remember what my old drill instructors said. "The water you drink today will save your life tomorrow. If you are hydrating for today then you are already dehydrated." For you and your crew, please take care of yourself.
It's not anti hydration but yea the caffeine in it will make you quickly sweat out whatever hydration it would provide.
The day a "GREIF" truck came to GRIEF 😂😂.
Yet another masterfully executed recovery, Ron.
You are blessed with an excellent team of operatives whom you skillfully lead by example.
You learnt your skills from your wonderful Father and I'm very pleased to see that you're passing on the same skills to your own fine son, Ethan.
May God continue to bless you all.
Raymond is one hell of a workhorse, thank god you have him on your team
Raymond's work ethic amazes me. He just jumps in everywhere.
Not bashing anyone but to me he is little close to the line of "too much unnecessary effort and running about like a headless chicken" 😂 not every chain needs to have raymonds fingerprints on it when someone is already working it
Every business needs a Raymond, and Jan Raymond's a hard worker you need lazy people to find the most efficient way to do a job ;)
Having dealt with both, I'd much rather have an eager and overly enthusiastic worker helping me than one who you have to remind that "work" involves, well, *working.*
The former calm down and learn when to slow down. The latter tend not to change.
@@nekoroms There comes a point where his running around is wearing him out more than helping. This is why firefighters don't run.
@@Azlehria - Agree.
I love how you ask your crew ‘does everyone understand why’, even under all the stress keeping your cool. It’s great leadership.
That’s because he’s a consummate teacher sounds just like me ! I’ll be working on peoples cars explaining to them why I’m doing something and they have no clue about how a car works
Yes, and he doesn't shame his teammates for their lack of vision or experience, as lesser men do.
My father could never do that sad. Ron is a good boss. I grew to be a good one too.
Yes Ron. Pratt is a great leader of his team. He teaches as they go along doing some seemingly
Impossible recoveries. Really am impressed the way he asks his crew if any of them know why they are doing a procedure before he tells them. Really great respect among all of the team!
@@stevenweis144 I dont have the patience to train or teach someone, so I have all respect for anyone who can!!!
Rama just can't get enough of these videos. I literally have been watching them for days. The professionalism that all of your employees show and your leadership are absolutely inspiring.
One of the best recoveries yet. Amazing co-ordination from the team and an extensive knowledge and application of forces, vectors and trigonometry.
Just like the conductor of a philharmonic orchestra Ron is in full control plus he has got a fantastic crew.
I was sweating with you! Congrats on not just painting the rig green & leaving it there. Amazing how strong your trucks are! Hats off to your team’s skills.
Just a suggestion, Ron. On the dehydration induced cramps, my nurse at my blood bank where I do platelet donations frequently keeps a bottle of tums on the shelf. I often get excruciating cramps in my calves and feet about 45 minutes into the procedure. She hears me wince and brings me two tums. 15 seconds after I chew them up, no more cramps! I also keep a bottle on the nite stand by our bed, for those late night cramps when I over due the lawn service and chainsaw work. I'm only 76, but still can put in a whole day of work. Love your channel. My eldest son has been with Hittman for several years hauling waste from nuclear facilities. He loves it, and zero accidents for over 3 million miles.
You guys put a whole new meaning to teamwork. Thank You!
A masterful job for tactics, rigging and crew. You and your guys are truly AMAZING.
Mr. Pratt, I sure do appreciate how you TEACH your guys so they can get better and better at this. Making sure they understand WHY you are doing things a certin way!!! AWESOME SIR! I would work for you in a Heartbeat!
Ron is the perfect boss, no question about it! I have had some really terrible bosses, and they were a real pain in the ( insert appropriate word here! ) to work for.
Wow that was a bad one
But all came out well
No power lines
No rain and no
spilled cargo
Great job 👍 Ron and crew
Retired driver And no HazMat!
When I first saw this wreck I thought, how in the heck are they gonna get that outta there? Ron, you and your crew are really good at what you do. 🙏 👍
I love that you show the technical details of doing these operations, & have long videos! A lot of places leave out the why & how in the videos. That, or they turn an hour long job into a 10 minute video.
Good GREIF he was well down in that ditch ,I hope he wasn’t hurt bad he really had a rough ride .
Not a good way to wake up from your dinne nap, for sure, discovering that autopilot let you down
@@Rimrock300 That's probably how they came to GREIF.
I'll wager he needed clean skives too.
I before c except after..... so, grief.
@@mistergrampy6452 grief
All your employees are awesome but that Raymond, he's a real go getter. He's always running!
raymond is a good worker-mr hustler-always thinking......good job!
He is the best (by far)...👍
Pete Rose was nicknamed Charlie Hustle. I wonder if Mike is a baseball player too.
I just want to say thank you to Ron and his team, They always clean up the debris from the wrecks. Local places in my area do not do this. One semi went off the road four months ago, and his hood is still on the side of the interstate. I live in Indiana and that always disappoints me.
That's what you call "Teamwork"
It Sure Is! 👍😊👍
The name on the trailer seems very appropriate. This one gave you, the driver, the owner, and the highway department plenty.
Go o Google Translate and hve it pronounce for you... 😅 It's "grīf", like "eye".
You're not gonna get that door open there's a guardrai..... well OK!
Brian Dykstra lol
His Sense of Humor..made me Laugh Too...Lol!
Lol, that was great.
I was thinking the same thing before the guy opened the door. 😂
Hmmm I'm thinking that this is going to be a 10 page bill. Great recovery without doing any more damage to the rig. Thanks for posting the video.
Ron, what a job! You are quite a professional! You and your crew are superb! No matter what you are always making sure that your crew members are safe and hydrated! My congrats to all of you! You guys are great! I feel that I was there all the way! God bless!
You make it look so simple. Congrats to the team. Hats off for Raymond for his level of energy and quick response to commands.
Seems like it might be a good time to start running 2 ways for smoother comms
Ron, what a talent you have, it's incredible, congratulations to you and your team and thank you for sharing.
Please give Raymond a raise. He is one hard working guy.
I never get this logic. If he'd get a raise every time he did a good job, he'd be a millionaire with a ridiculously high salary.
@@Huntracony That's what bonuses are for!
It always amazes me how you guys manage to recover the wagons as intact as possible , they get pretty beat up going in and very little extra coming back out . E enjoyable video to just see how hard it actually is and how dangerous it can be if you haven't assessed properly. Crew is a well trained credit to you .
Another awesome job! You have some amazing equipment but even more you have an amazing team of guys working for you. People don't seem to have any clue about how much trouble these big rigs can get into and the damage that can happen when they wreck. Treat those big rigs with respect!
Good Day Ron. That was a hot and very hard workout for you an the crew . Hope everyone has recovered . Take Care .👍👍😊
Stuart Roland get a grip....this job happened last summer....vid just posted now....of course they recovered
It’s their job.....heat is just a thing
14:34 "Mansfield bar", to keep small cars from rolling underneath the rear of the trailer. Named after famed actress Jayne Mansfield, in memory of when she and two of her companions got killed from not seeing the back of a trailer because of heavy insecticide-fog that was clouding the roadway.
im glad that its just not me that noticed raymond is a machine. you dont find guys like him often
No Joke, a great guy and would be a great co-worker to be around.
In my country if we do this, then first of all there will be a thousand people standing around watching and videoing, secondly they will need to cut off the traffic for a day to put so many cranes on site.Thirdly many parts of the wreck will be pull apart, not by the lifting and pulling by the cranes but by the looters.
Excellent job done by you and your team Ron!!!
I’m currently taking Calculus based Physics, and every time I hear you say “do you know why we do it that way” I’m like yes. This guy is smart with a great understanding of Newtonian Physics
That tow truck has more gadgets and wizardry than the lunar lander.
*I'd wager to say you just about accomplished the impossible on that call.* 👍👍
Ron Pratt. "Salute to a New Beginning". Thank you for that intro ! The U.S. Army Heralds do a wonderful job on that ! From a First Infantry Veteran, Vietnam, 1967-1968, many thanks, Mr. Pratt ! Please keep up the great videos, and STAY SAFE, PLEASE !
Thank YOU for your service!!! God bless!!!
WHAT A BLESSING! (for Self and Others 😊) To Be DETAIL ORIENTED 👍😊 With
COMMUNICATION, COOPERATION 😊 (And a Sense of HUMOR Helps 😉) TO GET THE JOB DONE! 👍😊
KEEP UP! THE GOOD WORK!
👍😊👍
OM GOODNESS!!!! Hats off to the whole crew!!!
41:58 see what the heat can do to you, especially when running around. Good thing you always lock around or you would have rolled the rig.
You won't get the door open!
*Raymond-* Hold my beer...
Opens the door like it’s a new truck
Ron: or just open it and prove me wrong haha
😂😂😂
Excellent team work for a very big job. Modern equipment to get the job done efficiently. Every incident is a teaching opportunity and Ron is a real pro at pointing out all the tricks to his crew. First class operation as most heavy tow operations are today.
2 Great Comments:
"Does everyone understand why we're doing this?"
AND
"He knows what he's doin!
We got this!"
Said with equal confidence!
Nic Job!
29:36 If that guard rail couldn't stop the truck, it sure won't stop Raymond!
The companies who make guardrails are like coffin makers, an endless supply of business.
Sandra Westley the company’s that make guard rails are life savers, they stop lorries doing even more damage to themselves if they were not there the lorry driver would probably be dead as it took a lot of his speed before he went into the trees, that’s why they are positioned where they are, to save lives.
Ron Pratt that recovery was simply amazing the things the crew did was amazing the things the trucks did was amazing I had no idea how it was did now I know just amazing all I can say wow.Thanks for the nice video all be blessed with loving care and grace.PS may God bless and protect you and your crew.
That middle record is awesome I love the Western star and I love watching your Channel you and your guys are awesome and you take very good care of your man and make sure they are safe all the time there's not many bosses that works with there men like you do you're not afraid of work you work just as hard as they do you are a great guy
This video sums up how it feels for me to get out of bed every morning.
LOL😹
Your not alone there .
Me too! Haha
Man I love that truck!! Peterbilt all day💯💯💯
Yep, the Pete is awesome but that's just the motor and chassis. The Century gear is what does most of the work, and the operator's skill is what makes it work best.
@@ngtflyer Well said.
i always wondered how they made drainage ditches, seems like an expensive method but what do i know.
When I worked for Illinois State Highways we would have to clean drainage ditches. They used a Grad-All to do that work. One time we were cleaning ditches on Glenview Road where it dead ended into the Navy base. The City engineers were out there. They asked the operator, "Do you think you could take a little more off the back cut?" The operator told them, "You do know that gas line is buried back there?" They said, "We know. Just take a little more off there." So he starts to cut. About the 4th or 5th cut he cut a nipple off the gas line. They had to evacuate and call the gas company to plug the leak. You know that cost big time since the line was marked.
Im gald that they had your back and your coworks to out on the highway and you do a good job getting all of the things out of the way and god bless to you and your family and friends that work with you and the fire department and and cops that have your back MICHELLE madson yes i prayers are with the family and friends and i will always love watching what you MICHELLE madson from happy valley in Oregon and god bless to you and your family
I just found YOUR channel tonight and I love watching it. MY DAD WAS A TRACTOR TRAILOR DRIVER SO I LOVE BIG TRUCKS. U DO A REALLY GOOD JOB LEARNING UR GUYS. AND I LOVE UR GIANTWRECKER.... APPRECIATE YOU ALL. GOG BLESS YOU ALL.
,..
This is one of them times where I'd love to have been there with a trailer is let Ron load all the debris on it and help them clean up for he could do his job easier
....and take that work away from the Department of Highway crews?.....now, now, now ;-)
Greif on trailer lol more like grief of a situation
Ron, I get leg cramps also and I carry valerian capsules. They usually go away with no sore muscles. Non prescription just over the counter. Plant base no drugs, been using for years.
Good retrieval, no one hurt.
I hope you pay your teammates well. Raymond and your Dad and everybody always does such a great job for you. People like that are hard to find. Hell, from what I understand nowadays, you can't hardly find anybody who really wants to work hard, or work at all in some cases. I never could understand that attitude. I always figured if I was working for a man and showing up everyday the least I could do was put in a good days' work for him. I was always running and hustling when I was younger, just like your people do for you.
This job is already tough and dangerous enough, glad your arc nemesis didn’t make an appearance today 😁
That was good watching hard working guys doing a hard job.
Good day, I take my hat off my friend. I’m a truck driver and saw a lot of this works in Mexico, where I learn this career. God be with you and the crew you have, blessings.
Morning Ron from Eastern Iowa
I think Raymond needs a raise. He gets right in there, obviously gets his hands dirty, and he's got hustle. You got to respect a man for that!
Love this man for his hard work and contribution to others in need god bless you sir your am impression on my life
One of your best videos yet. Awesome job. But ironic the name on the trailer caused you a lot of ( GREIF ). LOL
The pronunciation is "grīf", actually. Like "eye".
What really impressed me was asking your guys if they understood why on each action. You are amazing!
I was an OTR truck driver for a lot of years and accidents like this were my biggest fear and probably what kept me always being aware of everything around me. I didn't cut corners when I was driving a truck because it was too dangerous. Seeing accidents like this are just scary.
It seems like standing next to those cables while pulling could get one sliced in two.
Fair play to you Ron all the different Recoveries you are called to do even the one you wherein your own recovering a car on the side of the road in the snow and very slippery conditions and your staff well done STAY SAFE and GOD BLESS from JEAN Co.Clare Ireland
I am always so impressed with the quality of your crew. Raymond's hustle in particular stood out to me in this video.
This is literally a masterpiece!
Never realized how much work it was and how hard you guys work. Stay safe and keep up the fantastic work you all do.
Great video thank you for sharing God Bless 👍🇺🇸😎
Watching it at 2x speed is a trip at the end when the vid shows the time-lapse footage.
Saw you givin' Tow Mater respect sittin' on the dash and hangin' from the rear view.
Y'all "git 'er done" every time.
Gotta add to the comments praising your leadership style. Can't have a good crew unless they know *why* they do every little thing cause if they don't the big things will go wrong.
Helps us understand all that too of course. ;>)
O
Ron you often mention that many of the patrolmen you deal with are good men they give you the respect you give them
Ron is always teaching, coaching and explaining
Wow, your team are the super heavy duty guys for sure. Real pros. Congrats. Nice job. Your equipment is unbelievably terrific and your team is like an orchestra making it happen. That situation was a nightmare and you came up with a workable plan right away and modified as you went. I solute you guys. When it Is a very terrible wreck you are getting the call for sure.
At 55:05 he said something about muscle cramps it just means he's a working man alomg with the others out there helping him keep going guys yall r awesome midwest truck
No, it means he's dehydrated and the cells of his muscles are starving for water. Heat Exhaustion is the gateway to Heat Stroke, neither are good for you, one is particularly bad for you.
Brother Ron May God Bless and protect you and your team .
I believe the work you’re doing is fantastic and I would hire you anytime if I was ever in the area but I have retired from driving over the road so God bless y’all and I hope your business thrives
I'm in the crane industry and noticed you put a chain through your orange endless. Really need to be putting a shackle in between the two to stop the chain from pinching or tearing the endless. Plus the d:d ratio needs to be met and its not with the chain. Other than that hats off to your guys. I just lift it up you guys lift it every direction. Way more more Complicated.
Well this was recorded on a summer day because now Missouri is cold
Tell Ramomd to slow down a bit he was everywhere
Wow what a great job. Thank you.
Y’all do a great job, God all you for the work y’all do🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️
According to the dot number, that tractor represented 100% of their fleet.
They have numerous trailers, we have 4 of them on our lot in Stillwater, Oklahoma right now. They make cardboard drums of various sizes for us.
The tractor is not owned by the shipper. The DOT search points to a lot of red flags. In a case like this, it could turn into an ugly fight between the insurance company insuring the driver and the shipper. Did the truck crash because the load shifted because it was not loaded properly or a driving error? Ron was smart to not open the trailer or cut it in pieces.
@@ArtStoneUS I heard early in the video that they thought he blew a steer tire.
Ron, you mentioned in one video a starter headset kit is $6k. You can rig your whole team for wayyyy cheaper. Peltor Comtac 3 or similar, baofeng UV-5r, U94 PTT from Disco 32. You’ll have safe ambient hearing, in-ear comms, and the whole team can operate on the channel.
Great job Ron! Suggest you wear shorts on hot days and drink, instead of energy drinks, water with some Oral Rehydration Solution in it (glucose, sodium citrate, salt, potassium chloride) to compensate for loss of water and minerals. Cramping muscles indicate a lack of magnesium - magnesium citrate is best.
Stay safe guys.
I’d love to do this type of work it looks challenging and honestly fun both in thought exercise and physical demand
Be careful what you wish for. Did it for 25 years. It’s way harder than it looks.
Wow what a job! I hope everyone involved is getting paid big bucks for this kind of work. Not only is this a major job but I can imagine that the heat makes it 100x worse.
A three quarter of a million post remover. Great job on a difficult recovery. Wouldn't have been so bad if the tractor hadn't got torn up so bad on the way in. Cheap Freightliner. Then you could have strapped the trailer with the rotator to keep it from going over any further while using the V-70 to pull everything back to the highway, dropped the shaft shot air to it and went home. As it was, it was a might more difficult.
I can't even imagine how you decide on a plan of attack when you first see just how bad the sene looks.. Ron you are a Great engineer..Thanks for your videos.
Everyone worked are on this job. I am glad that safety is a priority.
Ron you and your coworks keep drinking water please and that you and Mike work good together with your family and friends and i will always love watching what you do every day and night and to keep so that you can go home to wife and kids and god bless to you and your family and friends and i will always love and im gald to see you working together with your cops and fire department and cops that have your back on the road from again from Michelle madson from happy valley in Oregon and god bless to you
Charge the state 35 a post for removal lol
I admit I wondered how many posts had to be removed.
How long did it take MoDot to replace that guardrail?
@@KnightRanger38 The MoDoT workers are probably still fighting with their bosses, because the "post-removal' crew will be sitting home twiddling their thumbs, while the 'post-installation' crew does the work ;-)
Hell of a job Ron,and teaching as you go with patients great job.Team work to boot.
Wow what a hard work! So wonderful a team works! Sweat out for the $!!! The angels on the roads….
When Ron says Oh my goodness I can only imagine how Raymond feels.

I like those orange pincher clamps. Handy how they bite down when pulled
