  • I posted a comment on my channel about this video. My wife gets to ride along with me as I perform a simple tow in the Rotator, our Peterbilt 389X with a Miller Industries 1150R towing/recovery unit. The hookup and drop out are all part of the video, but what some people may find more interesting is the dialogue she and I have while driving. This is one video where you may want to watch the whole way through rather than skipping through the driving portion. You could miss a LOT of information. I hope everyone enjoys this different style of video!!
    Again, I wish to thank everyone who has expressed their prayers and/or condolences for the death of my Dad. The outpouring of support from my viewers has been tremendous and has helped in this difficult time. May God bless each and every one of you. Also, thank you for your patience. I am still making videos and trying to get to the new normal without Dad. I will continue to perform jobs and create videos, as long as God allows. Things will be different moving forward. I have to trust that God will guide me and this channel.
    Again, a very special thank you to all my viewers, family, and friends who having taken the time to show their support. May God bless and protect you all!!!

    Speaking of wrong way interstate crashes, I was northbound on interstate 55 headed towards Osceola Arkansas. As I was exiting interstate 55, an older gentleman in a Ford was coming southbound on northbound traffic. I was able to get him to stop before he entered the interstate. I immediately called ASP which is the Arkansas state police and I waited on scene for them to show up with his older gentleman who had dementia. I am so glad that I personally was able to prevent a possible fatality on the interstate

      I have witnessed a couple of near fatalities.
      I been considering looking into getting a directional arrow board for my trailer just in case we out with it and it occurs. That way I could have it going until police attend. As I might be first to see it and I could move with help things such as speed signs etc to prevent any secondary incidents.
      I'd comply with cops etc to.

    I wasn't sure about this episode, as I generally prefer the really challenging rescue situations that stretch Ron and his team, but it was actually a nice change of pace and something different. And Mom Pratt was a pretty cool hostess.

      I've thought that some cable producer should sign Ron up. This would be the USA's answer to the Canadian recovery and towing shows. I just think that it would take a bit of editing as I don't know if the typical TV audience would sit through the slower portions of the videos.

    Good information for folks that don't know--- and a LOT don't realize that if wheels are ROLLING- you have more control, whereas if brakes lock for one reason or another- you slide or move in ONE Direction- and can't change it.. I learn a lot watching your videos- and REMEMBER a lot that I learned the hard way. YOU should REALLY MAKE TRAINING videos for the tow association and AAA to show to their new drivers getting certified.. Always so good, and absolute GOOD info!!!

    • @edwardtabor77

      @Canopus68 2 года назад

      I was taught the first thing to do if something goes wrong in front of you is to hit the brakes hard. That does two things it sheds speed and shifts or loads weight on the front wheels. A few seconds later get off the breaks and steer away from what the problem and gently apply the breaks. I don't know how many time I've watched RUclips crashes that could have been avoided if drivers were given the correct training--slow down and pay attention.

    Awesome video today Ron with your wife Ladonna AKA “Mom Pratt” along for the ride, to have a Q&A and on a Sunday yet…! Wow…! 👍 can definitely see how You both complement & work well together… It’s awesome how you took the time to detail and spell a lot of things out for some folks who otherwise wouldn’t understand the why… 1:02:15 Made me laugh… You’re too funny Ron… “I wonder if Mom prat is still in there talking” and the part that made me laugh… “I wonder what she’s saying about me” … LOL LOL… Ron she absolutely LOVES You… Also “I may have to do some heavy editing” LOL - Like I do with all your videos, I’ll watch them from start to finish and even go back sometimes and watch them again if time allows… I like how you think…!!! And from my own trial and error mistakes, it’s one of the ways I’ve come to learn to think… I Too would rather Have it and not need it, than need it and not have it… Awesome rule to live by… You are the way you are because of many reasons and the biggest one is - as you always stress, is SAFETY… You can’t stress this enough, especially when it come to ones LIFE… I never knew it happened until now but look at what happened to you with your teeth being under that trailer, with that jack hitting you in the mouth… EXTREAMLY CLOSE CALL and a very stark reminder of how DANGERIOUS it is out on the open road…!!! I can definitely see and understand when you and your crew are on a job, where there is potential danger all around, how you can be very stern because of the EXTREAM DANGER… It’s out of caution and everyone’s safety that you sometimes have to be like that… It's not that you’re mean like someone thought… it’s because you care for THEIR LIFE & SAFETY. Re constantly scanning the road for potential problems… I totally agree, understand & get that…! It’s called “Situational Awareness” It saved my life 2 different times…!!! Once where I was working on the railroad with a crew on the tracks and a freight train derailed right where I was… Good thing I kept my eyes open & on the train, where I saw down the way one of the set of wheels on a boxcar was off the track, kicking up all this dust & ballast and by the time that part of the train reached us, that whole part of the train toppled over ripping up everything in sight… We Ran way back when we saw what was about to happen. The rails were twisted up like a pretzel… and there were train cars strew all over the place. The other time I was helping push a car out of gas at night 2AM after work and this drunk driver slammed right into the back of where I was. I kept scanning behind me all the time I was pushing… I jumped out of the way just in the nick of time. My scanning situational awareness save my LIFE... You'll never loos that! Re your nerd humor… Plain and simple, I LOVE IT…!!! Great Q&A Video all the way around… Thanks guys…!!!👍👍❤❤

Watching your channel has been a real blessing to me. Take care, stay safe and God bless!

    I have always been in awe of folks who put aside their comfort to help others. Whether that be an electric lineman repairing lines during a storm so folks have heat. Or a plow driver that gives up family time to keep the roads safe. Tow truck drivers, keep us safe and get us where we need to go. Also, when someone is trapped in a semi, the tow driver is the one who gets the 40k lb trailer off the cab. They are also the ones who save the freezing family when their car dies. If the people of the US Coast Guard are angels with rotors and boats. Tow drivers are angels with tires and hydrolics. The go out when nobody else will go, to do a job, nobody else will do..

    I've been a roadside assistance, towing and recovery technician since July of 2017. It's the most rewarding thing I've ever done and continue to do. The constant "Thank you"s NEVER get old. Yes ... we're out here helping people get home first, but it's important to get paid doing it, so people have a company that continues to exist to help others.

    Thanks Mom and Ron, for this view on your lives and business! Not always an easy way of life, but together you stand strong as I see it. I once joined the channel because of my interest in America and heavy trucks: I visited SC twice in the eightys and drive a truck in the Netherlands.
    But here on your channel you can see more. You see a family- driven business, with a motivated team on heavy jobs 24/7: you all deserve lots of respect and appreciation!
    Again my condolances for the loss of Ron's dad, a great loss... "a human bulldozer"... the ultimate description for me!
    Stay strong together and keep up the good work!

    I must say that this video was rather interesting, not to mention satisfying, to hear about most of the questions people ask about the towing industry, and though the audio was a bit off with the sound of the truck engine, I was still able to make out most of the verbiage from both of you, and I admit that I learned a thing or three today, and everyone got to meet the lady who keeps Ron in line and moving every day, hello Misses Pratt, pleased to make your aquaintace, (I think that's how its spelled) and I hope Ron will show more of you helping out

    For those wanting to get into the towing business-- I suggest - STRONGLY--- BINGE WATCH ALL RONS VIDEOS... over and over... while you are taking your state required classes-- and I also suggest AAA classes in recovery-- and others... BUT MOST imporatly-- RONS VIDEOS-- you'll get more PRACTICAL info- and SEE IT USED-- in REAL LIFE- not just a classroom setting.. it's the next best thing to BEING THERE!!!!> and of course the FAVORITE truck is SUPER TATOR (spelled that way because it's part of RO- TATOR.)
