PiggyBack Re-Stack

- In this follow-up episode, Talon and I help out some customers who were caught up in a crash on an icy bridge. We use our 2015 Peterbilt 389X with a Miller Industries, Century 1150R Rotator heavy towing and recovery vehicle to change the Piggy Back stack around so the customer can continue on their way. In our industry this is called "decking" and "un-decking" trucks. The customers were extremely pleasant to deal with and were exceptionally hard workers. They were a pleasure to work with.
I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!
Here is a link to the first video, the video of the crash: • CODE 3 MULTI SEMI PILE...

4:00 "And I think Talon is going to come out and assist." Best line of the video!
15:42 When I heard Talon say "Y'all don't need me" all I could think of in my head was "No buddy, Ron needs you more than you probably know and likely more than anybody at that company." Ron I know you have a bunch of great, hard working guys on your team but Talon is the next generation along with Ethan. Talon will be that "go to" guy when you're not available and something needs to get done, or a question answered. I've watched your videos for many years and always smiled when I saw your dad, you, Talon and Ethan working a scene together.
I lost my dad in 2016 to cancer and sadly we weren't close at all for nearly 20 years. We were able to get back to a tight father and son relationship for 3 years before his death. His 2nd wife had alienated him from his entire family and only as his grandchildren were grown did he see the light. Many guys would give anything to be in your shoes the way you have family and business able to coexist. Guys around our age (you and I) are the last generation of "hands on" guys and I'm glad you got to share those times with your dad, son and son-in-law. I can see how great of a teacher and student to your business, employees and family you are. So happy I get to see details of your every day work life.
My dad and I, both owner operator truck drivers, were in a similar situation for 4 or 5 years. We could be at the same truck stop, fueling up side by side and not even look at each other. Thanks to both my wife and my sister, we patched things up a year or so before his death in 2008...he was only 64 years old and was killed trying to avoid hitting a car that cut him off on I-285 going around Atlanta-I was about 1/2 mile behind him and saw the whole thing. If I did 1 thing right in the time that my dad and I were being foolish it's that I DID NOT keep him from seeing his grandchildren and I know that he appreciated it. Seeing him die almost caused me to give up trucking but, I know that he wouldn't have wanted that. I miss him to this day and know that he's watching over me and my family. I only wish that he was still here on earth to enjoy his now 6 year old twin grandsons and that they could know him!
Well said
i mean this in the most respectful way, be thankful that all you guys know who your dad is! I was raised by a single mother (who tried her best to be a father figure as well) i would have loved to have a father, or any other family for that matter. All i had was my mom, and i lost her 9-29-2021 from a blood clot from the 2nd shot. (please don't reply with any political stuff, it's not needed here on Ron's channel) Now it's only me. I found my father's name and searched it, found out he passed away when I was a year old, so no chance of ever meeting him.
@@mattcat231 Sorry for you're loss
The new intro took me back to watching Emergency! on TV as a kid in the 1970s. I still love that show and watch it on the "retro" channels when I'm home. Squad 51 and Engine 51 were/are the real stars of the show to me.
Even though I've seen decked combinations on the road for most of my life, I never really paid attention to how they were assembled. I just assumed that they were connected to the 5th wheel somehow so, I learned something from this video too.
As always, be safe and God bless you, your crew and your equipment.
Ron and Talon, teamwork, teamwork. Great job guys. The guys are a such a valuable help to you both.
Love the new intro! Good to see Talon out and about instead of always in the shop. Thankful the driver of the damaged unit was ok and you were able to work with the transfer company guys to help them get the rigs back on the road to their destination. Stay safe and God bless your family and crew.
I can see the appeal, but I have to disagree on the intro. It sounds so much louder (regardless of the actual decibel number; I haven't checked) that my hand instinctively went to the volume button. I have the same problem with half of Matt / Diesel Creeks intros.
The duration went from 24 to 12 seconds, so that's a definitive win though :)
As a ex fleet technician for Bridgestone commercial the technician banging the ice of the face of the rim I definitely was shocked as if I did that to any of my customers rims it would be a very serious case, and yes I have worked in far worse conditions indeed, but all by myself as well in having to replace every wheel and tyre in extremely dangerous situations, but then again these tractor units pig backed is absolutely ilegal here, but our truck's have 9 axles and carry up to 42 tonnes payload, but then again Ron and team are the differences between the normal again ☺.
I've always wondered how they did that. Thank you for the close up look. It has been a rough winter for many this year. I keep all of you in my prayers. Thank you for everything you do to help others. Stay safe and God bless.
Ron - As a retired firefighter and medic we found that if you drilled a 3/8" hole in your blocks, cribbing, and run a 1/4" rope through the hole, tie a knot and work it into the drilled hole that it made for ease of grabbing and pulling. Just a suggestion. Great videos. Really miss the "Q" sirens on the trucks.
It’s not on all the blocks but many of them have ‘handles’ made from pieces of (I believe) fan belts. You likely have seen that in other videos of his, and one of the blocks here had that on it but apparently not the other.
@@JohnHallgren you are correct I’ve seen in other videos he has cut up serpentine belts and attached them for handles
@Ron Pratt loved that new intro you should keep it peace love and respect to all 73s from the UK and the amateur radio community .
Love Love LOVE THAT INTRO WITH THE TATOR AND THE Q THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!
Glad you like it. Thanks for the feedback. God bless.
@@RonPratt I miss the more complete herald trumpets so could you just add the rollout/Q to the end of that?
Would still be relatively short compared to many others.
No the q is a standalone favorite
It's always nice working with polite, competent professionals. Good job all the way around.
I like the Daisy chains, too.
I was just thinkin after seeing the Peterbilt mat on the truck floor, if you had a Ron Pratt mat made with the same font, it would look very cool. Thanks for another great Friday upload.
I agree that would be great to look at, but not a good business expense.
He can make up a bunch in bulk and offer them as merch😁
We need more talon I miss seeing him out on recoverys
Mr Ron Another great video. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
Ron, thanks for the update video from the big crash scene , much easier for you guys to work in the daylight, much less dangerous conditions!!!!!!! Much love Ron and your family /team , keep up the good work, stay safe in whatever you do on a daily basis!!!! Your friend Bob Compton from, maryland . God bless you , Ron and your family/team
It was so good to see Talon again in the last 2 videos. You 2 still have it, you don't have to say anything and it gets done between you.
Glad Talon could show Ron how it is done!
It was nice seeing him again
those guys are an 18 wheeler pit crew in efficiency. Double checked every nut and got those tires on quite fast, given the weight of those tires. Gonna take a wild guess and say they've probably done this a few times before. As always Ron. Good show. Stay safe out there.
No traffic or power lines to worry about. I bet it a nice change.
So true. Agreed.
I've always wondered how they do the stacking thing. Cool.
I missed the opening song but I'm here for what follows so the intro has never really been an issue. What a nasty, icy mess. My own hands got cold! Great to see Talon. Hope he and his family are well. Piggybacks make me nervous on the highway. My runaway imagination gets the best of me. Thanks Ron for another interesting adventure. Be safe. God bless you all.
👍👍👍 as always and another customer who is happy and blessed!
Nice to see Talon in action again.
Hi Ron, I loved the way you brought the rotator out in the intro, it reminds me of watching Emergency when I was kid!
You're right. Those boys were ready to work, and did.
That was an expensive jack, but it was very adjustable. 🤪
I drove these 4 way stack units from Dallas to California every week for two years for a company called NTC (National Trailer Convoy). Lots of fun but0 unless they changed the design of the saddle that attracted the trucks I can see how easy it broke away. The snapped blots all the time we would have to call Raider to come out and repair them. We mostly drove at night because the trucks would rock and sway like train in fact we called that last truck a wild dog on a pice of kite string.
They banded the front tires to the truck's and when you sometimes stopped other truckers would steal the tires so when you got to your destination they couldn't undock them. Never drove a set in snow or ice..
TC
It is no joke they are doing the hard work. I don't miss changing semi tires
Nice to see Talon out of the shop with his fancy new clean boots lol and its always good to hear both you all working together now if you can get him to run and workout with you so he doesn't get soft in the shop
Good morning Ron, hope all is well with you and your family and crew. Loved seeing Talon in your last video. Always look forward to a new video. God Bless y'all
Good morning Ron and Crew!! Always excited to see fridays roll around. I love sharing a glass of tea with y’all. Stay safe and God bless.
Re: suspended load. Just proves you've been in the game long enough to know anything can happen! My many years in shipyards, open seas, and general hard work says the same thing.
Ron, Let's get right to the work part. New intro is perfect.
Hello Ron get her done.your one of my favorite to watch
Great job, piggy’s all restacked and ready to go, except for the lead one, anyway nice to see Talon again keep up the good work Ron, always look forward to seeing your videos, God Bless everyone, 👍👍🇺🇸🇬🇧🪝🙏.
Talent my man always happy to see him
Wow, that was a mess. But with everyone working as a team, it went really well. Good job everyone! I always wanted to drive a tow truck. Just watching your videos makes me realize, that probably wasn't possible even in my younger years. I did learn something. How you crossed the cables in an X while lifting the 2nd truck off the wrecked truck. That may be a common way to do it, I just didn't know. Great application for me to use on small things too so it doesn't sway. It's all very interesting to watch.
Did I miss the part where they explained why they didn't just use the first truck as the power?
It is cool to see how the piggy back system works.
I have seen it with new trucks many times.
Was not aware it was used with used trucks.
Thank you Ron for the post. Interesting as always. Hi to all at Midwest Truck. Have a Good day and a Safe one too.
Nice Teamwork between different companies. Always Professional. Thank you Ron Pratt for sharing. Stay safe. Until the next video. God Bless
Great, Love the new intro, good to see Talon out of the shop helping you. Also keeps him up to speed with the nuts and bolts of the work..
Nice to see talon, as everyone is saying. Just surprised he didn't want to use the remote. He looked
"Frezed"/frozen.
Neat to see the piggyback.
I agree that carmats might be nice for merchandise.
I would like one for my front door, weather proof.
Thanks Ron and Talon for another lovely video as always. I always look forward to the next one, and make sure I'm not going to be disturbed when watching it. . God bless you all, as always from,
John in Wales 🏴 UK 🇬🇧 🤓👍🙏
Another neat job🥰🥰🥰🥰🤩🤩🥰💕💕💕🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Pretty straight forward but definetely different. Good job Ron & Talon.
Thank you I always love Friday get to see the tater working. I still think I know you lol... Be safe out there and God bless.
I really enjoy your videos. And I totally appreciate your RESPECT for the families of those severely injured or killed by accidents, in your well principled choice of NOT publishing videos of your recoveries involving fatalities or severe injuries. You find and produce plenty of interesting and educational material without showing that! Thank You and God Bless You and your entire staff and family.
Another perfect. Dot/dash!!
Great video Ron. Those guys looked to be ready to do their job--other than not having the ice off the rim! Lol!
The versatility of the rotator is quite spectacular, and I see why Mr Pratt had purchased it, very handy on different kinds of jobs.
I like the new intro, maybe mix it with the one you've been using a lot, good job Mr Ron and Talon
Slow down move over
God bless be safe and watch out for motorcyclists, little kids, critters of all kinds, and little old ladies going to Bingo
Great Job Ron and Tacom!! God Bless you both. 🙂
Well that answers the question I have wondered about since seeing this method in Canada back the 80ts about the hook up thank you stay safe and to all in snow go slow
Fantastic video as Ron, any content is fine by me.. Stay safe out there. God bless from🏴
Another fine job well done. Be sure my friend and God bless you.
That’s pretty crazy … just take one off the stack and continue on !
Love the intro with the Q! Being a former volunteer firefighter I sure love the sound of the Q. Now you "need" a set of train horns.
Seeing Talon reminds me - How is the grandbaby doing. Pictures!
Awesome job u did Ron and ur helper to be safe and always always be careful doing what u do each and every day
Thank you Ron for this interesting video. I kind of like the new intro as well with Tator & the Q.
I liked the old intro. Because I was not startled
at the siren, and the music said,"Ron is here.
Thank you for your feedback. I'm trying a few things to see what the viewers like. It has been suggested by many that my INTRO was too long and too old-fashioned. I may go back to the old intro or I may tweak the new one a bit....more of my classic opening music and less siren....perhaps. Thanks again and God bless.
Again, Ron you have more ice and snow than we do. Southern Alberta.
Good Morning My Good Bro Ron Pratt Sir & God Bless You & All Of You're Whole Family Today & I'll Be Praying For The Family That Was Involved In The Wreck & For You & All Of You're Whole Family & All Of You're Whole Staff
Love watching the Roll tator,it makes it so much easier great video stay safe and blessed 🙌🙏❤
Great content ron as always. Great to see talon. This is my favorite youtube channel.
Another great video Ron! Sending applause from the UK! 👏Stay safe!
The new intro kinda reminded me of the old TV show "Energency!" which is my all time favorite show. I;m lovin it.
Love new opening
It's great to see Talon back on the road again 😀, ye always made a great team
Yes... the dreaded suspended load... where injuries or worse can happen in an instant... and there is no time to react when it happens.
Like the new rollout intro.
Nice job and I hear you about the suspended load. Glad it ended up safely completed.
Hey Ron I recently met a lovely lady who is not only stealing my heart but is restoring my faith in God. I just wanted to share this with you. I've watched all of your videos and your like an old friend.
That was cool Ron. I always wondered how they were able to connect all those units together in a piggyback configuration.
Morning Mr Ron prayers and well wishes for all involved and prayers for your family and employees have a bless day and be safe
Sure miss seeing Talon out workin on wrack
Great video it's a shame talon didn't take control of the rotator im sure he's more than capable.
Outstanding
Like the intro.
Spending the day with Alex.
Hello Ron thank you for a great video I wish you could do a live Q and A live with you and mom Pratt God bless you and your family and your heard working crew
Another great job without any Pratt falls! Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Great team work Ron, we don't transport units like that in the UK, would save alot of time and money.
Ron Pratt does it again with dad!
Loved the new intro, definitely a keeper. 🙃
Man what a yucky winter slop.
This is why I live in GA.
Nicely done! And love the new intro! IDK how far the guys have to go to deliver the trucks. The only one without a sleeper is the lead truck now. Murphy's Law! Stay safe and bless you and yours.
That is some crew you are working with. Great Job guys. Thats a bunch of damage on the at second truck.
Great to see Talon again , great work as always God Bless
What a sight it would have been to see Tator pulling that stack down the highway.
@Ronpratt I love your vids and your new intro stay safe and good bless
Ron that looked odd to me the frame on a new truck was already rusted like that!!??? I don’t think it was mud???? Another awesome episode of MIDWEST TRUCK!!!!!
I dont think they are new trucks. I think they are fleet trucks being relocated. I wondered that myself, if they were new, hard to tell under the ice slurry and filth, but the rear one they made the power unit looked like it had some paint damage on the front of the hood near the headlight.
I saw those guys off to the side watching the work intently and was wondering if Ron was going to see if they wanted a job. Then it turned out they were the guys working on the tractors.
# where is talon. Father-in-law and son-in-law you 2 make a great team. But it is a group effort to make a team work together. You have an awesome crew and a great family to make that company run glad to see Talon out of the office and out getting his hands and his boots dirty lol I also loved your last post about talon I had a great giggle about it keep your family and your crew safe and God bless you guys are what keeps me moving everyday that I get to see your videos I may not be in the wrecker business but I am in heavy machinery / equipment and what you have pointed out and talked about I use it in my everyday jobs and I thank you for the pointers and the safety aspects that you have said or shown on all your videos you have made me and my crew a lot safer we have the PPE but with all your pointers you have made it even better and I thank you Ron family and crew God bless and be safe out there men and ladies
Ron love the new opening with you rolling out of the bay with the good old Q siren sounding...it is great. I have another suggestion for more merch for you diecast models of the fleet especially the Rotator. All the best to you and your family...Stay Safe.
Ron you do good work 👍
Awesome , Thanks Ron & Crew
Ron you and your guys work great together with others and shouldn't have the other people been wearing hard hats
That intro was COOL as heck man
Nice work Ron
