Thumbs up for respecting and looking after strangers property. The more videos I watch, the more I realize you are intent on helping these people out.
Thank you so much for your kindness. My goal is to help others while supporting my family. I have been helped in my lifetime more than I can list and it means something. God bless.
love the videos... "try not to scratch the paint it should buff out" think that was the best part
Thank you and God bless and that guy is a hoot. He always has some off the wall comment. We have a lot of great people in the area that we work with. God bless.
David Giese lol
Ron Pratt ... Everyone involved in such scenarios is working in a stressful and usually potentially dangerous environment. Humor can and usually does relieve a bit of tension. Plus it makes for an enjoyable work environment.
I agree completely. This guy is a great tension breaker to have around. God bless.
wow I can't believe they let you have a siren on your tow truck here bama they don't allow that
Ron ... You & your team run a top shelf operation. It's "great" to watch true professionals at work ... including the Sheriff's Department, State Troopers, Fire Department & EMS. Professionals alone & as a team.
Thank you very much! We are so blessed in this area with the folks we work with. We all share a mutual respect, off color sense of humor and eagerness to assist one another. This area of course, is home and many of us have lived here all or most of our lives. It is a natural fit. God bless and thank you for watching.
@@RonPratt no prob i love what you do
good job
❤️

Ron Pratt I liked how that deputy helped yah and asked what yah needed from him that is professional courtesy
I have said this before and will proudly say it again, we are so blessed with the law enforcement and other responders in this area. We have developed a mutual respect and desire to create an efficient and courteous team. I cannot brag on these guys enough. God bless.
It sure helps to have mutual respect. Many years ago we had one police Sergent who had a bitter disdain for firefighters and even nearly lost his job because he pulled over a responding fire captain while on the way to an emergency! Ironically one night he was parked on the firehouse apron when a speeding car came around the corner and hit him broadside nearly killing him. We extricated him from the wreckage and transported. After his recovery he played a different tune and we all got along fine. You are blessed in your town and it is obvious everyone respects you and your great team. You may have heard about the numbskull CHP officer who handcuffed the driver of a firetruck for not moving his truck which was protecting an accident scene on the freeway in CA. It was a pissing contest between the cop and fire command officer!
Ron Pratt sorry to say tour police could learn from your state and sheriffs when it comes to accidents and recovery.
I did hear very briefly about that. I'll have to search out that story and read all the details. Could only happen in California !
Ron Pratt Ron i would love to come over and learn from you and your team I was an st John ambulance trainnee medic .
Every video...the professionalism, respect, and teamwork you and your crew have with the other agencies is amazing. I love watch LE step up and assist where they can. Everyone’s priorities are to safely clear the wreckage as quick as possible to reopen the roads.
Everyone seemed to be on it in this one. Especially that cop that was helping, need to show more of them in a positive light.
Yes, everyone was working as a well oiled machine. The officer you refer to is truly a great one. We are blessed in this area with many, but he and I work a lot together and he is top notch. I will pass along your comment. Thanks for watching and God bless.
AMEN!
Uñ
lol Amen
Back the Blue!!
It is really nice to see a true Gentleman, Doing what you are doing! You are always Courteous to everyone around you.
Impressed by your thoughtfulness to the woman in reassuring her that she would be cared for. Makes a huge difference in that sort of distressful situation. Kindness goes a long way.
Haha, thats live in the Emergency business. How many times I have left parties/friends/GF for a callout. The most "funny" one was that I thought I will be back within a hour, that turned into a heavy fire that took 2 days to put out.
Been there done that, lol
I have missed so much as well, but I do what I do for a reason as I am sure you feel the same. Duty call and we roll. Thanks for all you do in your community to keep residents safe. God bless.
All a part of the business isn't it? Thankfully I have a patient family. God bless.
Oh, I've been there. This past winter I went out with a bunch of guys in modified Jeep Wrangler's with winches, shovels, tow straps...the whole nine yards. The intention was to help people who had gotten stuck, couldn't get up a hill etc. Little did we know how inundated emergency services would get and that we would be out for 36 straight hours helping out.
Indeed part of the business. Everything for the people that need us!
when Ron is there to save the day, pleaseeee stay out of his way! you are a true master at what you do Sir!
Man you have a great relationship with law enforcement and fire that always make life easier
I've worked hard to build those relationships and yes, it does make things much easier.
I love this channel. Ive learned so much by it. Been only driving tow for a year, but no one taught me other than "This lever does this, and this lever does that. You got it?" Sure..... Wish I had some of those nifty lil snatch blocks though, so I could pull at different angles.
Nobody has even asked about that Hungry wife waiting quietly in the truck for supper.......
Ha, she was supervising all the activity. She enjoyed the ride along and doesn't get to do that very often. We got our sushi, no worries. God bless.
They sit there and wait. After so many years when you hear the phone ring when on your way to dinner or a birthday party you don’t answer the phone because if you do it will ruin your plans. Emergency work is never conveniently timed.
SUSHI?
that does it, i am unsubscribing.
i assumed you killed things with your bare hands and ate them, like deer .
I do recall hearing Ron mention something about deer hunting in a past episode. Also, how do you know he didn't catch those fish with his bare hands? :D
HA HA!!!, in Australia there are no passengers allowed except for customers in the truck, so, "No Wife, Happy Hubby".
As small of a gesture as it may seem, I like how you moved his stuff up front to help it avoid getting wet. Most tow drivers would just drop the vehicle and be done with it. It's nice to see that someone has a little bit of consideration for someone else's property.
Thank you for noticing those things. We try to treat everything as if it was our own. God bless.
No wasted motion. Impressive!
We were working against slick roads and another storm front headed our way. We actually ran into it on the way back to the shop with the car. God bless and thanks for watching.
I love the way the traffic keeps on rollin by at top speed, usually they drive by slowly so they can gawp and video the carnage. Nice job on the video.
Just as I was wondering how/when you would clean the deck, you popped up with the text about it being broomed off. :o) I loved the comment made earlier about being careful not to scratch the paint - it could be buffed out. That got a giggle.
That gentleman is a total ham bone. He is always making off color comments that catch folks off guard. He is the mood lightener in most situations. There are so many great responders in this area. We are very blessed. Thanks for watching and God bless.
What an awesome night out. Every woman wants a hubby like you. A date cant get any beter than this.
Poor Fusion. Another nice recovery!
Thank you and God bless.
I love how organized you are with your equipment.
I've been watching your videos for several months now and like them a lot. If I recall correctly your father started the business, I'm curious does he still do towing?
My father did start the business and still does jobs when needed. He has left the majority of those up to me and I am passing on my knowledge to our son in law Talon. My dad taught me so much and I still like having him around for his perspective on challenging jobs. Wisdom and experience are invaluable in this profession. Thanks for watching and god bless.
Always enjoy watching someone who knows what they are doing. I learn the most that way.
I appreciate the length of time you leave the subtitles on long enough for even this old bloke to read them
You guys have such a good working relationship with the highway patrol, EMTs, fire Department and all the towing employees. In which it should be. I love in a small town here in Washington State and everyone here are the same way. God Bless. Blessed Be and God Speed you safely on each job. Love your channel.
Another great video. Starting to get entertained. Never thought towing recks would be entertaining. It sure is. Great job again. You passed the can test. I love it.
That was a really great video. Hopefully your wife and you finally got off to your dinner. God bless you for how gentle you were with that lady that was so scared. So great to see how nicely you first responders all work together.
Thank you! We are all on the same team around here, which is a blessing. That poor lady was really shaken and I understood why. She was also very kind and I was so grateful no one was injured. Thanks for watching and God bless.
Yes, we did get our dinner. LOL I forgot that part.
Good HOSPITALITY and UNITY.
I watched a lot of your videos and I must say you and your team do a first class job
Love your videos mate, very professional, best regards from London (UK)
Thank you very much. God bless.
Why is this like the coolest job ever?
Ron, I am not sure if you were kidding but you have every right to record law enforcement while they are acting in their official capacity while out on public.
Pay Dro That you have the right to do something, doesn't mean that everyone appreciates it. It might work in your favor to keep the people you work with happy. No need to provoke things.
THIS!! Having a right does not mean you shouldn't be courteous.
I believe he was just being polite and friendly since he probably interacts with many of the leo's on a weekly if not daily basis.
Pay Dro Being as he gets business from those troopers/officers, rather keep them happy. They dot want their face shown, ok edit it out. They can request such thing for privacy. Know how many officers are spacifically targeted thanks to a video? Too many.
Richard van Pukkem if recording law enforcement "provokes" them, then they shouldn't be in law enforcement
Man! Not only are you so professional and courteous to all involved. The first responders all know you and help what they can. But your are a Speedee Gonzales in getting those cars out of the way and off the roadway. I know you are always looking over your shoulder at that active lane. Gotta be a bit scary as those cars are zooming by at highway speeds. All great videos. Much respect.
Once Again, color me IMPRESSED, I have learned from your videos that you and your crew know what you are doing, your experience shows. But what is really Impressive to me is how you guys handle people, that women was very upset, and you went out of your way to make her feel better. What I saw was a caring person, you care about the drivers, the cops, your crew, and you....safety matters, it is a top priority to you. I bet this is not the first time you Wife had this happen. You Guys are a special Company, The people of your area are lucky to have you....Stay Safe...God Bless you all
Great recovery! Nice to see what happens to the vehicles after the tow.
Thank you and God bless.
5:27 - 5:30 Someone has seen how the tires are worn from the overturned car?
Low profile tires without much tread depth coupled with a wet roadway = hydroplane-o-ramma.
You're asking for trouble with tires like that.
I watch hundreds of videos a week and your 'intro' is the best of all of them. I love your videos.
Thank you! I am kind of partial to it as well. You know when you hear something and it just says, "That's the one." God bless.
They had way too much junk and trash in the car you hauled Ron. That right there would cause an accident. Some people are just ignorant about how they treat the inside of the vehicle.
Thom Geren
Agree.
Im a bit meticulous bout my vehicle... It has to CLEAN.. outside & IN!
I keep mine as clean possible. But then again my truck is also my work vehicle sooo it has to be clean..
it's possible they were on their way home from work or the store, etc.. you look in my truck it looks clean, but if you flip it and give it a shake, things will move and come out of their spots.
Noticed the same thing. How the ride didn't hurt them Im still surprised. Even more due to the trash.
At 30:47 you will notice the pack of mini-cigars on the floorboard. They was probably rolling smokes of wackyweed
I like this video a lot because it shows everyone assisting everyone else...that Sheriff's Deputy covered your back the whole time...awesome job and hope Mrs. Pratt finally got her date lol
Oh I meant to ask...I don't have Facebook (long story involving a stalking ex LOL) but do you have Instagram???
Yes, we all work very well together. The Deputy is a close personal friend of mine and we each have the other's back when needed. Yes, the Mrs got her nice dinner. Also, I do have Instagram. I just post photos of jobs prior to the videos. Some of the photos though come from jobs that never get posted on RUclips. Thanks for watching and God bless.
You have and your crew are very nice to everyone with sir,mama, thank You and everything here in Florida we lucky if they give us a smile
I really don't ever want to leave someone with a negative impression. It is important to me to be a positive influence and a good team member. We are blessed to have so many great folks around here to work with. God bless.
I guess it went from a bite to eat to a dinner date lol
You got it! I was hungry and got some Japanese after this. God bless.
In that sort of weather, you seem to build up quite an appetite. Wet, cold and generally yuck.
How efficiently you guys work. In the UK the cops would shut down both carriageways for hours to do ‘investigation’ work. Your allowed blues and twos as well, awesome👍
yea no ads
Enjoying your videos. Lived with my dad from age 10 on back in 70’s. Our family car was a 1962 Holmes wrecker and had a semi wrecker. Was many cold icy snowy nights beating mechanical wench and fighting frozen cables. Nothing like having two police scanners going in house. Dad was programmed to hear 10-50 hop up out of bed and back then we beat cops and ambulance to wrecks. One thing sure not changed, if not police around cars on highway would fly by and many end up in ditch.
You certainly know the struggles of the tow life then. I love my job, but man do I get tired. I am glad you made it through and thanks for watching. God bless.
Enjoy your vides. Great relationship with first responders. Keep it up
That helmet cam is great!
Thank you. Have you seen any of my videos with the "boom cam" yet? A lot of people like that view as well. God bless.
Nice to see the unload too!
Thank you, I have been asked several times to show an unload and this time I remembered. God bless.
good job ron and crew.sam
Thank you and God bless.
I was impressed that the soda can made it onto the bed untouched. Just shows how professional your company is. I was looking for the "G6 fish" from the other video. I think it was in the same area as the car from this video. I also got a laugh at the paint comment. Makes me want to drive to Scot City, MO and break down, just so I can call Midwest Towing to come get me.
Thanks so much for the LOL. I don't want to meet the viewers by them breaking down though. Yep, the soda can test is the best. Haha! This was actually a different area, but much of our scenery at times looks a lot alike. Thanks for watching and God bless.
You are so nice to your wife ....Ron wish I can find a man like you...with all my respect just why I like to watch your videos ...
Ron can you make a video of you cleaning your trucks because every one does it different
Another excellent video. My hats off you sir, you make make the recovery industry look good.
Thank you for watching and God bless.
If the news showed more of this side of law enforcement , we'd be in a better place. They seemed like the nicest people
We have excellent law enforcement personnel in our area. I'm honored to work beside them. Thanks for watching and God bless.
well done...another fender bender sorted...hope you still managed to get out....I am always amazed at just how some of the insides of these wreck cars look like a garbage dump...
What a great group of guys you get to work with - always entertaining. :)
That can never fell! That's precision work right there. :D
One look at the tires while that car was on it's roof, pretty much told the tale of how it ended up in the ditch there. Worn, low-profile, wide tires - BAAAD combo in the rain! Even worse in snow - I had to learn that one on my own at age 19. Sent my '85 Monte Carlo into the woods a few times, into a pole, and straight into a tree another (all low-speed stuff - no injuries). I hit everything but the lottery with that car, LOL.
Glad the two of you finally got out to eat there eventually. :)
who doesn't love to hydroplane? :(
Oh yes, entertaining they are. I guess we should do the can test more often. LOL I was so amazed that no one had any injuries in this crash. They were very fortunate. I love your lottery comment. Thanks! God bless.
When they're having some fun and cracking some jokes tells me no one was seriously injured in this as said.
Hey ron well done yet to another recovery . You a great leader for the rest of you team . Just 1 thing i think you should get car covers for those cars with damaged windshields and windows . Well done again and god bless. Keep posting more vids more regularly .
Thank you. Good suggestion. God bless.
I like your videos and I learn a few things. The second vehicle you probably could have drove it out. Keep up the great work you guys are doing out there.
She was a bit too nervous to drive and I prefer to check out vehicles before letting them go. In this case, it likely would have been fine. We washed it, checked it and when she was more settled she came to pick it up. God bless.
Hey Ron, how difficult would it be for someone like me with absolutely no towing experience to get started in the heavy towing
I would think it would be quite difficult. You would need to make yourself "marketable" by educating yourself through various methods either professional training or a multitude of books and videos that you can use to educate yourself. Most people start off in the light duty industry and work their way up to the heavy duty stuff. I grew up around the Heavy stuff and took it upon myself to learn all I could. I continue to learn new things after almost 30 years in the industry. This is a very dangerous job. If this is the direction that you want to go, as I said, do everything you can to educate yourself. Best of luck, stay safe, and God bless.
@@RonPratt Mr Pratt you sir are a good man I'm glad I found your videos
Your wife is an understanding lady for sure;!!!!
Maby if the owner of the black sedan had spent more money on tires then rims this wouldn't have happened
You are 100 % right
Those are factory I had a car just like that
Tonight we were on our way home from dinner and a tow truck was on the left shoulder loading a car. Traffic was NOT moving over or slowing down. I was yelling at them telling them to get over and slow down. My husband laughed at me and said "I don't think they can hear you". I can't imagine how frightening it must be to be working that close to cars & trucks that are doing 70 mph right next to you. Prayers for your safety and all the tow crews that do this for a living. God Bless you!!!
It can be quite frightening at times, but it is all part of the job. Thanks for helping to spread the message, even if they couldn't hear you. LOL. GOD bless.
love the videos from you Ron, love greetings out Germany and God Bless your and Familiy.
Thank you and God bless you as well.
I like the DOH! moment :) just proves you are indeed human :) thanks for another great video!
I have a lot of "face palm" moments a day. You all just don't get to see them LOL. Thanks for watching and God bless.
This was another good one, Ron. Enjoyed the unload too! Glad you were able to get to dinner. "Sharp looking BOOTS you had on"
Thanks again God Bless and be safe.
Thank you. Those poor boots will never be the same, they were my favorites too. Oh well, the water stains were from making memories I guess. LOL God bless.
Is that the same G6 you pulled from that water hole that was left unattended and the state found?
No, this is a different car. We still have possession of the white whale LOL These folks were with the vehicle and thankfully no one was injured. God bless.
If you go to the part of the video 28:25 where Ron is unloading you'll see what I think is the car parked to the left of a red truck.
I was wondering the same thing!
Great work by a professional group. God Bless
Thank you very much. God bless.
Wow! It seems like everyone knows one another and are so cooperative with each other...I like it!!! I am guessing it must be a small town in central US.
Hi Ron, great work as usual and Mike seems to be a perfect fit. Can't wait for the next video, keep safe and god bless my friend.
Thank you and yes, Mike has fit in very well around here. We have a great team. God bless.
I know things are different from state. Didn’t know anywhere allowed tow trucks to run lights other than amber, green, clear or have a siren. But if it gets the job done fast and safe(as you seem to do) rock out. I have seen some of the tow truck around here that would end up like that ford. Stay safe and keep it moving forward.
Prayers for the people who turned. Over
Soda can of the roof of 2nd car was epic !!
Hope you had a nice dinner with your wife :)
Thank you! Yes, we did get a nice dinner......my muddy pants and wet boots included. LOL God bless.
Ron,
You are truly a professional, your passion for the safety of others and your dedication to your family and business is truly remarkable.
I wish you nothing but health, success, and the love of God
i was going to mention that. i hope you and the better half finally did enjoy that meal after she waited patiently while you were busy on the recovery.
I am AMAZED that traffic is allowed to pass going that fast 😮 It needs to be slowed down, each state law is different apparently
Nice job guys. Only one thing, you got your new winch lines all dirty! 😉
Thank you! It's all good and mud washes. LOL God bless.
Love what danger jobs you have stay safe winter is coming here in Wichita Falls Texas is cold wet 35
Also, your employee that helped you really needs to learn to carry gloves with him at all times! it's a safety issue.
You are correct and thank you for looking out for our safety. I have worked to imprint that on all of them, but sometimes they forget. God bless.
Gee, Mr. Pratt; You guys in MO. sure know how to show a woman a nice night out.
Thank you for a close up look on a job well done.
Thanks for watching and God bless.
Bless her heart. She was crying. ):
Yes, I really felt for her. She was so shaken by the crash and just didn't want to get behind the wheel again for a bit. Thankfully, she was not injured nor were the other two in the car. God bless.
Ron I'm glad you & everyone involved are/were ok nk one hurt everyone goes home at the end of the day. My dad worked for MSHP CVE @ post C-5 in Barnhart, MO he had his truck stolen from the south bound scales while he was in dropping his paperwork off as he had worked northboud that day. Mind you this was some time back i think it was around.... '91, '92 anywsys they stoped the 2 teens abit south of Benton. Trooper drove his truck to Benton PD station to save us a tow bill. But if your family was in business then it would have be an honer to have it towed by you all.
Great job guys, very professional, and courteous.
Thank you very much. God bless.
The sense of humor that some State Patrolmen (or even County) have ... I knew a few that could really tell stories. You know that had to be the by-product of dealing with the stress of the job. If they didn't learn to laugh at some situations, the others would drive them to the looney bin.
👍
big Ron taking care of business again ,the man with the plan!best in the business bar none!!
Thank you so much. God bless.
Oh, well --- to some ladies, I suppose that getting to ride along on a tow-truck call could seem like a pleasant date-activity, too... I know I would always enjoy something like that :D
Now get it to the yard with soda can in place✅lol
One thing Ron - best you never make solid plans too far ahead!
Hope you still enjoyed your supper!
The only time I can really make plans is if I am on vacation and completely out of range. I usually don't even try to go to the movie theatre anymore. Talon is great about answering the phone when I need to go places, but it is inevitable that some big job will happen and we all need to go. Oh well, it makes the house payment. LOL God bless.
Ron Pratt ... A very responsible businessman indeed. Strong work ethics. Total professional. You lead by example. Sadly that is not always the case and it quickly becomes apparent during stressful times for the customers. You were very gracious and kind to the confused, terrified lady in the second vehicle.
Bless you and the work you do
The Mrs. is very understanding about not going out to eat. Now I get it. Tow wife :-D. l liked the Guy who said that'll buff right out !!! Yeah right !!. You and Mike make a good teem. Well as always thanks fer taking us along, And May God Bless !!!.
She has lived this life right along with me for the past 28 years and is very understanding. I think she enjoyed the ride along as she really never gets to do that. Jeff is the gentleman who placed the soda can on the car and also said, "it'll buff right out." He is a joker for sure and a pleasure to work with. God bless and thanks for watching.
This is great stuff! Thank you Ron
I do hope you and your Mrs. had a great dinner after all..Take Care out there..
We did and thank you. We tend to have a great time as long as we are together. God bless.
Congrats, that sucks
Thanks. God bless.
Awesome recovery Very smooth.
Thank you! God bless.
What lucky people. They could of been killed especially the guys. The Lord was with them. Great video as usual. Again my morning coffee, what a great way to start my day. Hope you get your date in. Hugs and God Bless
Absolutely, that car was pretty beaten up. Thank you for sharing your morning with me again. I am responding to comments drinking my coffee (Starbucks!!!! My wife brews it at home. Spoiled). LOL God bless.
We had a devil of a wind storm last night here in Alpena South Dakota, trees down everywhere. I didn't hear a thing. lol I learned how to make Starbucks Ice mocha one of my favs. 5.00 at the store, mine 1.00 You have a smart wife. She loves you. lol God Bless
i love your videos dude its nice to see people happy after what happened
That's a kick ass cool trooper. It's really good to see the communication between you guys and Law Enforcement works to well. If you can tell him we here in Florida would love to see more so well dressed trooper on our squad can sure use some friendly faces like those :-)
What a great job you all do there. My respect and I always learn some new from you.
You make a good point there. When you had your wife with you, I thought she would have helped you with everything.
This is an extremely dangerous job. Even just sitting in the cab on the side of a slick interstate is dangerous. I don't want anything to happen to her and wouldn't know how to live with myself if something did while she was on my watch. Thanks for watching and God bless.
Why does he have the flat bed today.
Mike usually takes one home and I take the other. This assists in quick response time to whatever situation we are called to. God bless.
I was disappointed we didn't get to see your wife. I guess she's "camera shy"? LOL! Great video, as always! I'm glad no one was hurt!
She HATES cameras. I will at some point, sneak a glimpse of her though. LOL Thanks for watching and God bless.
Now this is a type of date I wouldn't mind going out on.. lol :) Your wife loves you to the moon and back, and she realizes how hard you work to keep the business going. She is a fantastic lady, and you better of gotten her one fantastic, expensive meal somewhere to make up for the blip. ;) At least everyone was okay, and you did one tremendous (and quick) job of getting that vehicle out of that mess. Thank you for sharing another chapter of "A Day in the Life of Ron Pratt". Tune in next time for another epidode/ video.... maybe.. lol :)
She didn't mind. When we left the house we heard sirens. We pulled over into a parking lot and I changed shirts just as my phone rang. We have lived this life for 28 years and she patiently rolls with it. It isn't often though that she gets to ride along. I think she enjoyed it. We did get to have a nice dinner, muddy pants and all. One of our favorite meals is Japanese, so that's what we had. Thanks for continuing to watch and God bless.
So glad you did get your fantastic dinner in before another call. :) My nephew says that Japanese food is fantastic, as he did a 6-month teaching stint there in Hokkaido. Now he's in China, teaching young children to speak English. He's loving it. He's doing some travelling when he can, and has already gone to Thailand to swim with the elephants.
I should be studying for finals right now... why are these videos so addicting?
Sorry, I hope your finals went well even with the distraction. God bless.
