There have been a lot of negative comments regarding one of the gentleman in this video smoking a cigarette around the oil that is on the road. First, there was not any diesel fuel and even if there were, diesel does not ignite that easily nor does the oil that is spilled on the road. Now if there were gasoline or certain other chemicals, it would be a different story. But, I have seen lit cigarettes get thrown onto diesel fuel and the only thing that happens is the cigarette is extinguished. Ask firefighters how difficult it is to ignite diesel fuel during training exercises. Although I do not condone smoking and I do not allow smoking from any of my crew at any crash site, I was not about to tell the gentleman that just saw a friend of 50 years involved in a horrible crash that he couldn't have a cigarette. If I felt it was unsafe, then I would have politely asked him not to smoke. Thanks for watching and God bless.
People who don't understand the difference between diesel and gas shouldn't be watching.
Ron if it's still around 100 years ago I was the driver in a Goodyear safety video called fire in the hole.
It was about fueling in the summer and static electricity.
I'm also willing to do a video showing me dying out a match in a glass of gasoline.
I had the same thought at first about the cigarette being a bad idea but then I remembered you said it was oil and that put any worries I had to rest since a cigrarette doesn't burn hot enough to ignite oil (I don't even think it could be ignited if that guy took his lighter and held it there lol)
Finally someone explaining it. A van towing a trailer recently flipped said trailer apparently had diesel in jerrycans in it. But the trailer went up in flames bc it was being dragged on its side. Im like sorry that isnt a diesel fire it would be unleaded fuel(gasoline to some)
@@anastyb Yep. As long as there is not a flammable mixture of gasoline vapor in the air above the glass, the gasoline works fine as an extinguisher,.
@Ron Pratt there has been a few videos done on this by the king of random
The gentleman who owns the truck (?) is clearly upset that one of his drivers has been involved in an accident and isn't well. To his credit, he's quietly and sensibly helping you out. At a time when you feel helpless, doing something to help out is part of the healing process. Good on you Ron for letting him participate. Being a logger, he's used to the same kind of equipment that Ron is using and it shows. He's helpful without being a nuisance and is obviously a very nice person himself. I sincerely hope and pray that the driver will make a full recovery.
As always, this isn't just another wrecker/recovery story about machines and gear. Rather, the human story is at the fore and that is where this channel differs. I have a huge amount of respect for you Ron. Your hands are never idle, you are always polite and as much as you like the rotator and the gear you use, you never ever lose sight of the fact that they are tools to help people in trouble.
Well said.
Amen
Excellent viewpoint. Thanks
there are some people out there who will help quietly without making a fuss or even look for thanks
A very rare type of person clearly knows what they're doing but doesn't act like a know it all and start bossing others around.
The man in the white tee shirt who helped is an unsung hero - hardworking, man of action. May God bless him and the driver.
he was a full blown, salaried, employee!
@@skraminc i'm not sure but probably true
The guy in the white T-shirt definitely cares about the murdering public and yes he is a very good hand
Mr. Pratt, thank you for this video. 10/1977 my father flipped a 1977 IH tractor with 2 trailers on Hwy 70 in the Feather River Canyon. Although not a 1977 IH tractor the extraction was the same. Dad survived, even returned to driving for the same company. Knowing this driver also survived and watching the clean up and removal made me feel better, why I don't know but this video put a 42 year old ghost to rest. Thank you.
Mr. Pratt, the way that you complimented the truck owner. You helped settle his nerves when you told him you were sorry he was having a bad morning. You allowed him to help you and made sure your crew knew he had made the process easier by being there. Watching your videos. Told my husband that I now see why I needed geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus. You use slope, angles, redirects, all types of engineering and math to do your job.
When I saw those three bottles of water, I knew you were going to give one away. You may have had your own in the cab, but, you have a great heart.
You are a Blessing
Boy, you sure don't need to go to the gym and pay to get a work out. With a job like this, you get paid to have a hell of a work out! No wonder you're trim! Rain, shine, snow, ice, cold and hot and humid weather. In and out of water, electric lines, crazy traffic zooming by, and loud noises, hauling heavy chains, straps, hooks, cables. I can't imagine how exhausting these jobs are, and you never blow your stack at any one either. Seems you don't get much of a chance to rest up and have time with your family or even eat and use a bathroom. It's a heck of a sacrifice you're making for others. You do it all with a ton of patience and grace under fire. Never a dull moment. I don't know how you do it, Ron.
At the risk of sounding like I repeat myself, Ron as ever the consumate professional, courtesy to others and always thankful for any help. Well done my friend.
He handled it Very well, especially for such a high stress recovery and having soo much going on, with the wreck from the previous night and talon already on his way to another site, and still handling customers calling in about vehicles, just very impressive all around
And no foul language
@@lesliethomson2441 I wish I could give a lot of thumbs up, also for self control and manners.
This chap seems to be very helpful. Would be a good helper in your crew.
Yeah but he owns a logging business I don't think hes gunna give that up to work for midwesttruck lol.
Finally somebody that can do something without being told, just being useful.
hgghgguk when they were pulling the line out he said he’s just a friend of the driver but he has a shop
I'm fairly sure that this was not his first rodeo... ;)
@@hgghgguk 43:00 he has a shop
Been watching your content for a long time and greatly have enjoyed it. One thing I have really noticed that I haven't seen anyone else say is the wide gap in skill sets between many of the other staff members with the company. I have no doubt Ron has people that work with him, it just seems like his expertise is well above and beyond everyone else. The gentleman who offered so much help honestly seemed to be more help and worked harder than the other crew that was there. Again, I know this isn't something you can comment on due to the risk of alienating your teammates, just what I have observed Former medic here and worked my share of wrecks, and by far you are the best I have ever seen. Thanks and God bless.
Poor truck driver! Hope he still continue to work on his job on the roads! God bless him!
Ron one never knows how blessed until you see someone like the driver injuried. And the man who helped you so much has to be worried quiet a bit. I hope and pray you knocked off a few bucks for his helping you out. And you may have gained a friend. God bless my friend.
I've been watching a lot of your videos. (I'm a retired old geezer). I'm not a tow guy or trucker. Watching these videos gives me a whole new respect for what you all have to deal with. On the lighter side, since I've watched, I've learned and can now second guess what you will do to get the particular problem solved. Well done you and your crew. Be safe out there.
As man delves deeper into technology and "progress" our machines have become larger and far more dangerous. 80,000 lbs. moving at 50+ mph can wreak havoc as we can plainly see from this video. By Father's Grace the driver survived and prayerfully with no permanent injuries. It's fascinating to watch professionals work a scene like this. It's extremely dangerous working with 50K Hydraulic Winches and high tension cables. They sure do make a complex accident recovery look simple.
All the best Ron! Be safe out there and Father bless and keep you and your family!!!
That one guy helping you has DEFINITELY seen this once or twice , or 10 times
It take some serious heat to start a diesel fuel fire like it does to start a tire fire
Tim Gantt what
Jon Johnson he was replying to a reply but the guy deleted the comment
Log trucks and tankers are super easy to roll.... Hope the driver recovered well.
Good help is hard to find, even harder when they volunteer to help. There's still some good people on this planet!
You're professional, courteous, complimentary, kind, caring & extremely knowledgeable about your business. I found the whole video fascinating. I hope the driver fully recovered. Also, the man that owned the truck was so helpful. Way to go.
Ron that guy was a great help worth you offering him a job he allmost knew what you wanted him to do without you telling him .
He knew more than another companies employees who I follow when you don’t post anything .
It's pretty clear, this wasn't the first roll over he's dealt with.
I love watching your recovery videos. You help a lot of people at a very critical time in a very professional and caring manner. It's amazing how you size up a problem, make a plan, adjust as needed. With your hat camera I feel like I'm riding in the cab with you and by your side helping out. I also love your thanking and praising God after every successful recovery. May God ride with you and your team and keep you all safe. Kay
Ron you are good man and I like the way you speak the guys around you and the clients ...Well done Sir.👍👨🦳
Ive never seen such a professional tow and recovery man! Out here in Oregon its a whole different game. Awesome work Ron!
You popped up in my recommend. Coming from a girl, I'm glad it did. You've got a great setup, nice rigs, etc. I never realized what all was involved in this job. Fascinating to watch. Educational. A strenuous job. How's the muscles and joints? That was awesome of the fella to help you. Thanks for sharing.
I've always like watching this channel, Part of me has wanted to do an apprenticeship type thing but I'm all the way in NC and I'm trying to become a State Trooper be safe out there Ron
Hi Michael and Greetings from Rotorua, New Zealand.
I wish you well on your journey to becoming a State Trooper, be safe and take care of yourself.
Kind Regards,
A J. Bentley.
Rotorua,
New Zealand.
NC myself I'd be there in a heartbeat
There are very few people who I can sit and watch for an hour and a half and be interested the whole time. Man time just flew by on this phenomenal video. Keep up the amazing content and God bless you and your family!
Tks for sharing. Isn’t it nice to roll upon a scene like this and being able to talk to the ppl like nothing has happened to them. Bonus when nobody was hurt 🙏🏻
Ron you are such of pleasant person to listen to while you are working and nice to everyone.
Great video Ron. Perfect way to start my day with a rotator Ron video. The pick up sticks comment you put on the video made me laugh, so I know my day is starting off good.
Was real nice of the guy to help you set up, while waiting for the rest of your crew to show up. Most people would just stand back and watch. But not that gentleman. He is the type of person that tries to help people when they can.
A prayer sent for the driver of the truck. And another sent for you and your crew. Stay safe out there, and god bless
I can't believe I watched the whole video. For some reason I've been on a kick of watching how things get done. Got a rolled over semi? Then you call a guy and watch him work. Good stuff.
Ron, again, want to say thanks for being so professional. That's one of the main reasons I enjoy your videos, even on the chaos you're calm, collect and polite.
Hope the driver in this incident is doing great.
Ron Pratt wow I have to say Ron you absolutely know what you are doing absolutely amazing to watch you and the crew do your thing man alive yes . Thanks for the nice video all be blessed with loving care and grace.
Wow Ron, that must be every tow truck drivers nightmare! Blocking the road on it's side while spilling it's load all over the highway. Not to mention all the fuel on the road. At least the logs fared better than the truck and that unfortunate driver they had to cut out of the cab. Good job on that one Ron.....
You are the perfect gentleman, very respectful to the owner who was very stressed. God uses you to be His hands and feet to the stressed and upset owner. Well done, so refreshing to hear you communicate while being efficient and effective in the recovery of the vehicle. It's a pleasure to watch you at 4.27 am Australian time. God Bless and protect you Ron.
My hat off for you Ron and your crew.Awesome equipment you got there.
I do roadside rescue in South Carolina and I apprecIate how you folks show how this business should be done. From one believer to another.
Ron Pratt is one of the most humble, down to earth, hardest working, honest professional business owner there is. Thank you Ron for posting these awesome videos.
it is pleasant experience to see a gentleman going about his day
I can tell you are passionate about your job and helping others. Keep up the good work and the good content.
Like to send prayers out to the driver of the log truck. Hope that he has a full recovery. And also to you and your family and all your employees. May God bless you and watch over everyone
Indeed, my thoughts exactly
My thoughts and prayers is with the driver of the truck and as always with you as you go out everyday and help the police and troopers with these wrecks as always God bless you and keep you safe
I admire your ability to stay so calm all the time with the pressures of the job ...I only ran a international 4300 flatbed but been on many bigger jobs and roll overs. And nobody was as calm and focused as you are.
Against all odds, you have incredible patience sir.
Pull pins look good!!! Great idea matching the truck!
They're honest-to-God Midwest Truck pull pins now. Peak professionalism bumper-to-tow- hook.
Great Job and well done to the helper guy,he seemed more clued up than the other truck crew .
Some people are more intuitive, plus his years of rigging setups in the woods.
GROUP 13 you mean the workshop guy and the trainee?
I love it how the guy from the crashed truck danced around helping the recovery team. Amazing. He just knew what had to be done and he did the little he could.
Very respectful to everyone. That's how i am when im towing or teaching someone. Keep it up tow bud
Praying for the driver, his family and everyone else involved 🙏
LOTS OF WORK BUT HAD TO BE DONE....EXCELLENT AS ALWAYS
I love the Blue and Yellow paint scheme William did!!!! Good job as always Ron!!! Love from Iowa
I sure appreciate your professionalism and effort to communicate with nearly everyone at the worksite. I can almost hear the stress begin to disappear after you talk to folks.
Ron that is the way people help people in your neck of the woods. This is the way I grew up and wish that trait could be everywhere.
I did have some 2" ratchet straps, but I had to allow the driver to use every last one of mine to secure the remainder of his load as most of his straps were cut by the wood when the load shifted. Thanks for watching and God bless.
I call that driver BLOODY LUCKY
Yea no kidding that could have very easily went the other way.
Semi trucks are alot different than cars. I've dropped my steer tire off the road and created a new ditch for about 100 yards until I could get it back on the road. You just have to remain calm and slowly ride it back on the road. Don't over steer and jerk the wheel.
Yup that's for sure
You should follow the same procedure in a car. The BRAKES teen driving school includes this in the course -- they're blessed to have the NCSHP driving course available to them; a section of the HP course is specifically designed for this. [ goo.gl/maps/Mq9Ts3rfxpkaVmsb8 ]
Rob Pridemore,I have done the same,worst one was a Army 2and1/2 ton gasoline tanker,hauling 1200 gallons of Army Mogas.Dropped right front wheel off the road tried to sreer back on road tire hit something pulled me more to the right.Hill on my right ,no ditch,wiped out most of the sheet metal.No fire,walked away from it.
Awesome content, this has quickly become one of my favourite youtube channels. God bless!
Timon att, I’m with you!!!!!!
I must say I am very impressed with how knowledgeable you are with rigging the wrecks and how calm and polite you stay with your crew while directing them. Have not seen you get flustered yet and you can tell that you genuinely care for your crew.
I really like the written explanations you include. Such a great vid.
The helping guy was quite efficient, you should recruit him :)
I always enjoy your videos very much I think that all your guys do a great job and I also thought the other guy was a good helper I watch everyday GOD Bless and always prayers 🙏 good day from Georgia
I can't be the only scientist around here that is so tired of all the god and prayer nonsense.

The bottom scroller in the intro would be easier to read if it scrolled from right to left not left to right. =)
Really? I rolls in from the right and stops, so you can read it, then rolls back off to the right. It's 3 seconds of an hour :22 video

@@TSKseattle Yes. Really. The "BREAKING NEWS!!!" scroller at the bottom of the screen does not stop and goes from left to right, making it hard to read.

New Intro!!!!! That's amazing! God Bless You Rotator Ron
The love of CHRIST really comes through the way you talk to your employees and any one else around. Thank you four your witness.
Nothing says America like a hardworking rigger. GOD BLESS
I love watching your videos from over here in the UK, good job and the old driver who helped is old school, nothings to much trouble and just gets on with the job! A lot of young kids could learn a lot from this video... especially the lazy little bastards who surround me!
You must be a school teacher?
54:43 i love you you teach other guys, every day somthing new. great. im amazed.
One thing about this Ron guy. He is ONE heck of a guy. He believes in giving credit where credit is due. He shows his appreciation for everyone and everything. From the man helping him, His two employees and even the bottles of water someone brought them. I give Ron a lot of credit for being this way.
I am very humbled by your kind post. Thank you so much. Thank you for watching and God bless!
Thank you Ron and may God bless you and your family always....
Love the new intro of the video Ron
Ron - That man that was helping you ready the gear for that winch - He 's worth his weight in gold. You should offer him a job! He has more understanding and common sense about what is required to get the job done. He didn't stand about, except for when safety required him to be out of the way.
I was a local and interstate truckie driving everything from tray trucks to road trains, but mainly b-doubles for about 30 years but was blessed never to be involved In, and only once came across, any major truck accidents, I haven’t even had a break down I needed to be towed away from. Watching this video has given me a completely new perspective and respect for the heavy vehicle recovery industry.... I literally had no idea what was involved. Well done Ron, you give a fascinating yet no nonsense inside look at an industry that I expect most people wouldn’t have a clue about. I’ve subscribed and look forward to watching more of your videos.
I did notice a comment regarding the smoker lighting up at the scene... in the real world some people still smoke. If it had been a car accident involving petrol the emergency services wouldn’t have let him within half a mile of the scene but being a truck rollover the only fuel present was diesel which only ignites at very high temperatures or high pressure .. a lit cigarette will not start a diesel fire.
6:09 you can see one of the rear tractor tires is badly torn apart as if he had a blowout
As a FF myself what confuses me is that this Fire Department vehicle which was first on scene has no oil dry. I do not know ANY First Response Emergency Vehicle of such nature not to have plenty of oil dry.
That tire scares me, I sure hope the owner isn’t having drivers run with tires like that.
I noticed that tire, too. I wondered if it were a contributing factor. I also noticed a couple of the other drive tires down to the wear bars. Can you say
Two questions, Ron. Why park so far away from the wreck to drag your slings ect. and why not get those non essential vehicles out of your way?
cause you don't get your rigs in in everybody's way until you need to.
Looked like driver lost a tire, could have been the start of all this mess. Hope the driver is ok.
those were some pitiful looking tires
tjsean0308 it looks like part of the tread came off
@@davep6977 Whole bunch of mismatched tread, and at least two with none at all.
I noticed that as well. Many commercial vehicles, especially those in off road operations - logging, rock/quarry ops, oil fields, etc. - do not receive the required TLC that vehicles in those harsh environments especially should get. And the drivers are required to operate these vehicles which are not cleaned, let alone properly maintained.
I drive for a fleet (small, 70 trucks) and our trucks are very well maintained, VERY WELL!!!
We do not have mis-matched tires, not to mention we do not run on recaps, our tractors get virgin tires, all 10, only!!!!
tjsean0308 I think that tire got torn up after the truck went off the road. Judging from the tracks in grass/ground off behind the end of the trailer, the driver might have been distracted, drifted off towards the left side of the road, then panicked and rolled the truck trying to correct too hard to the right.
Ron you don't have to go to a gym for a workout your
job does this for you you have to be very fit
to do this job
Thanks for sharing my friend
At 6:17, anyone else notice the dreadful state of the tyre/tire on the rear axle of the semi? Could that have contributed?
Here in the UK, that would earn an immediate suspension of license, prior to a court appearance!
Chris Bown Yes I wonder if that played a roll in the crash. Straight flat road skid marks on the road makes me wonder how it happened. Hope the driver is ok.
Yes i noticed it
I noticed that and was wondering about a possible blowout.
No it didn't contributed to the crash. I drive trucks the only tire that will cause a crash is the steer tires.
Dude you were seriously so impressive. I have a newfound respect for you guys.
I just love this tow truck, and the owner is a real professional
Look at the right rear drive tire, it had a blow out
I like the way you handle things, you don't get mad, you stay cool and calm through everthing
Good Job Mr Ron I have seen many of you video The best part is you can tow / hook at any situation more over good culculation where to hook and the correct tools. Good luck . Safety first n God Bless you n your Team.Thanks
I commend you for the work you do, I've always wanted to get into towing and recovery, but where I live companies won't hire and train anyone that doesn't have experience (still trying to figure that out)
I can answer the question on why companies don’t want to hive people with no experience. It’s because they have no experience. People with no experience make the most ridiculous mistakes and then they say , what did you expect from me, I don’t have any experiance. A man spends a lifetime building a business and you want him to hire and train someone who most likely will never be a good employee because he does not have any mechanical knowledge. McDonald’s has a training program that is quite good , apply with them.

Good work, gentlemen.
Those blue/yellow hooks are looking *sharp!!*
Another full body work out morning !!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hay Ron! Can’t believe how “hooked” I’ve become to your videos. For an RN that’s pretty wild! Stay safe and God Bless.
Well I think it feels like you have been in the military before judging by the way you interact with the people on the scene to make quick and efficient work of the situation.
3rd generation Trucker/Wrecker. A level of intelligence for sure. 🐞🎶🎼🎧🏞🥂. Thanks for the post
I like you being professional under stress but polite respectful accepting help and thanking folks. I am in CA. Y'all talk funny.
I am praying for the driver!🙏
Sir, you are the only utuber that talks like me. I Sincerly appreciate you, man, and now, I'm finding out that I am going to lose my mind. She's calling it dementia. I'm truly sorry for any off-hand comments I happen to make. God bless you and yours.
Cool that ur letting newer workers run the big wreckers so soon or at all to let them get the experience and help and teach that’s cool wish I could still run a wrecker
I have no idea this has come up on my feed and furthermore no idea why I watched it but this man is a professional and at the top of this game
This was awesome you did a great job and as always I am sending well wishes to the driver and you guys ate awesome and it is always nice to see new blood in your business train them the right way from the start and they will do well for a long time God bless you all
That was nice of that other guy to help break down all your rigging and put by your truck for you
Thanks for your videos. You make recovery look easy.
Why do you park do far away? Why not tuck in behind the red truck? Just curious and wanting to learn.
It works out better to leave more room, you don't know whats going to happen and what is going to need to come and go til it's your turn.
Love the way the firefighters were like coiled springs ready to tackle the raging inferno that might have ensued.
Ready to roll if needed. Thank you for watching and God bless!
I just watched the second video and I am impressed with the way you do the videos. You are amazing and the most courteous person I be seen on RUclips. Thanks and keep truckin
Dunno if rotator already has a name... But even if it sounds cheesy.. I might name it "The Rontator"
Does that depend on who is in charge? Taltator if Talon is by himself. Miketator if its Mike.
Great rig every thing you need and in the right place very professional. Well done !
Awesome job Mr. Pratt
Very good video Ron so many congratulations, it was a smart decision the way as you started to work.
