- A tricky recovery of a loaded semi that is being held from rolling over by a single barrier cable. Using our 1150R and the V70.

It's always nice to see Mike excited about doing a job always willing to help and the way you teach Tallon yet you all work together and give ideas on what you think will help...these videos are my night time ritual. Thank you
Ron, that recovery was a thing of beauty. You took that rig from the edge of disaster to solid ground safely with no wasted motion. That driver was fortunate to have you handle the recovery.
One of the real pleasures of Mr. Pratt's videos is his explanation of all he does, and the interaction of his crew that also helps me understand what they are doing and why.
With your guidance and Mike and Talens help the job that could be so difficult looks very easy.
I really enjoy watching your posts. Thank you brother Ron.
You know you are a respected company when the state trooper greets you by your first name and asks you....
WHAT'S UP TALON!
Not only that but the trooper found directions for Ron to use to get to the other side of the cab so he could be facing the same way.
I have the feeling hes going to be as well known in the area and the profession as Ron is.
You know you are a gods gift to Towing and Recovery when you know your area and how to get to it. You know every street and how to maneuver around it. This is what sets you apart from the wannabes. This is what makes your mark.
You are amazing Ron. You are a bonafide towing and recovery.
Sheesh...not sure you could get closer to going over than this...and not going!
Recovery experts and Troopers on first name basis, mutual respect both ways including ways to get around the wreck. This...this is textbook on how this should be handled. Another excellent job Ron, Talon, the Midwest crew and the Law Enforcement officers.
He not the police sergeant for nothing.
Ron, you make it look so easy! You and your crew are always on a mission and click as one! Your concern for any damage to the other vehicle is to be commended! I feel that that we are there with you and your team throughout the whole ordeal! God bless you and your team!
I've watched your videos for a few weeks, and I love them.... I've no work connection to what you do, but the way you work and present these videos is fantastic; I always love watching them.
You are a fantastic person, great teacher and all round great individual. It's really good to watch you and Talon working together.
Take care; to you, family, and all work collegues. Keep safe out there.
"Put the customer's pin back where I found it" That sir is the mark of a true professional. Not only did you not keep it (we all know you would never do that, but unfortunately others...), but put it back exactly where it was. A+++
Wish I could get my husband to do that! 🤨🙄
"He's in good shape for the shape he was in." - although not a true Yogism, it is definitely his style. Worth writing down for posterity.
Thank You again Ron for a very enjoyable 45 minutes viewing, better than the television any day, it was good first of all, the truck didn't roll onto the Highway, and then it came off the guard wire with very little damage, but the main thing, everyone went home safe that night, which is what we all want, Stay Safe, God Bless
Ron: "Are you ok?"
Driver: "Physically I am. (Mentally I'm updating my resume.)"
Lol
He didn’t roll it so I’m sure some coaching and a office visit he will be back on the road
When in doubt, blame the GPS lol
DId you hear later when he says he hadn't even made the first pay check yet? I'd be very surprised if he's still with this company, I hope he is, but I doubt it.
Bwhahaha
Must be nice to be able to work with professionals that know what they're doing and as a teacher of the skills.....sir my hat is off to you....
Ron Pratt does it again!
I always laugh at the guys having radios, but still yelling back and forth! 😄
If they ever perfect a true "truck routing GPS", I think Ron's work load will drop 30%.....or more! Ron is to heavy towing, what, Bob Ross was to painting! There is something soothing and comforting, as a retired Driver myself, watching Ron solve other Drivers problems. Thanks Ron for your videos and professionalism!
You do make it look easy. At least traffic and rain were not an issue here.
Jim Hubbell but the arc nemesis had to make its appearance lol
Some might say you over rig your recoverys but one of the guys that tought me always said (you only get one chance to over rig because if your doing it a second time it's because you failed the first time) I have never forgot what he said. Great job as always Ron, Talon and Mike.
The power of just one winch is impressive. The view from the underreach showed that when it was dragging the rotator backward.
Totally professional and respectful really goes along way to make you stand out 👍
Another professional job done again. Great video pointing out the possible dangers of pulling from the front pins in the frame. Ron I've noticed from watching your videos that you have twice the energy of your younger guys. You must eat your wheaties every morning. God Bless!!
"It's more off than it is on..." Understatement of the year.
I guessed right! Watching you Talon and Mike work together is a joy! Everyone knows his job, no hands in the pockets or slow walking from one spot to another. Thanks for the Friday morning show! God bless and be safe out there!
Great job as always Ron. At least this time you did not have other traffic to deal with.
i like the lights on the outriggers. makes you even more visible. thats good.
Ron, you're always to "cool" under pressure and reassuring to the state patrol/police as well as the customer's driver and your crew. I enjoy seeing your strategy evolve right on camera since it is a new situation each time -- but with no surprises for you based on your tremendous experience. I also appreciate the spiritual aspects of what you do. You're concerned about the people involved both physical, emotional and mental at these times of high stress. Thank you. - Dean from Minnesota
Dean D. I completely agree with you on all points . Seems Ron learned the job working with his dad..... and then became the professional we see today. Most enjoyable.
Be ready on the foot brake
Nah, be ready to jump out the window
Awesome staff you have.
Jeez that driver really was lucky! Didn't see how bad that embankment was till you lit the scene up Ron. Having a loaded trailer doesn't make it any easier for sure.
Another great job.👍 Ron and crew no body injury or damage to the truck 👍👍
You have taught them boys just fine Ron! They had the same idea that you did on how pull that truck. Great job and with minimal damage also!
Hi Ron, I have watched several of your videos. I hear you say something about over kill about safety , you can never overdue safety. I lost my beloved husband due to someone not being safe. All you guys want to do is go home to your family's. So keep being safe your doing great !
"God bless you and your family in everything you do"
been watching you from close to the beginning and i am still very very impressed on how you operate. ALSO i love youre respect for us people who dont believe but still ask for us to give best wishes. every time i hear you in the beginning i throw out a prayer for the people involved and i dont believe. mad respect for you
Believe in Jesus and your will be saved.....truth
Think about how you got here...what is your purpose....and what's next
I believe!
Nice job Ron. Always enjoy seeing other ways of doing things. Stay safe
True.
I look at these and figure out the engineering behind the recovery. I taught for a living and used the trades in teaching why math and reading is necessary and how they are used in real situations.
Hiya, Trent!
Nice how you avoid the "I've got a big hammer, all my problems are now treated like nails" syndrome, Ron!
Well I'm in West Virginia Charleston West Virginia and I like that I like to watch you as you work you do a good job and like everybody else says you are very kind to you and and respectful to your employees I like that it's hard to find a boss that's respectable to their employees anymore I know I worked a lot of jobs and you don't get to respect for it that what you do but you give it and I appreciate it you take care all your work is professional done and there's no carrying on about everything everybody is respectful for each other so keep up the good work my name is Lois Lane and I'm in Charleston West Virginia and I love watching you I'll watch you everyday sometimes I picked my phone up at night while I'm in bed and watch watch some of your work can you take care and God bless you and your family and I hope Mike's mom gets well I don't know the situation I didn't hear about it I just saw where somebody said they hope she recovered so whatever it was I hope God takes care of her have a good day and God bless
Looks like you have some good workers that listen and share ideas
Ron
I want thank you , my 8 yr old grandson , Gavin really enjoys your channel. Gary
I have guardianship of a boy who also enjoys watching the channel. He is 10 and has a form of dwarfism known as microcephalic primordial dwarfism.
Good point, this is great material for young kids to watch. It's safe, kids generally like trucks and such, and setting an example for courtesy and professionalism are a great influence!
Hey, that's pretty awesome. I'm sure Ron read your comments but doesn't always have time to respond to them. Much appreciated I'm sure. Occasional some blooper doesn't get bleeped but very, very rarely, usually fixed with an replacement upload.
Ron, great job! You and your team work together extremely well. The driver was fortunate not to be injured, and the damage to the truck was minimal, and all caused by the initial occurrence before you and your team got on the scene! God bless you and your crew!
Another great recovery Ron as always. The way you did the recovery looked like the simplest and easiest way to get the job done.
Thanks for sharing and God bless
First Talon, now Mike, you're building a fine crew. Teamwork personified! You have a fine crew.
Another great effort by team MidWest.Truck.
You make it look so easy Ron. Your trucks are certainly bigger than ours in the UK. Best Wishes to you and yours.
As usual a job nicely done. You've got some great guys working for you. I'm sure you know already...Their willingness to get in there, do what you want, and cooperate is great. And that Mike...I had to laugh...that guy runs...you got to tell him to be careful, like you did in the video, because his energy level is so up there! But it's all good, I think. Thanks for the post.
You made that look easy, Ron! Didn't even tear the plastic off the front fender with the barrier cable. Nice!
Thanks for sharing. God bless.
I want to see the video of you guys putting everything away. I am in awe at how well y’all keep your tools, chains, and ropes so organized. Masters at work! Merry Christmas to you guys!
Amazed that fender is still in one piece. Job, as usual, well done. Good team.
Superbly professional job as always. Always enjoy your videos. Stay safe. Regards to all the team.
WOW, you certainly got this Job done Successfully thanks to your other two (2) co-workers helping you. Looks like a loose license plate and a burned out passenger side headlight but like you mentioned, it could of been a lot worse had the tractor not got hung up in the barrier cable.
Teamwork is always best in a situation like this. Great recovery Ron and team!! Take care and God Bless!!🙏🙏👍👍
That driver was a few feet away from making this a lot longer video.
Every time I watch the Rotator I am in awe of the power and versatility of it. Wow
Hello Ron, saw the teaser, tonight looked at my in box, then saw the real thing, as always , you make light of the recovery, wonderful, it’s 02.25 on the 13th,,God Bless you all, cheers from NJ
I am one who works with little tiny electronic things and forgets what "big iron" looks like. I love watching these "saves".
Awesome job Ron, Talon, and Mike
I really like how you say prayers though and well wishes from peoples of all belief systems. It's very respectful of everyone out there.
As the months go by Mike has improved. By 10/2020 he is mostly silent and is independent.
I always look forward to your videos. I always learn something from it. Great entertainment though I know it is hard work for you and Talon and Mike. I loved the double view points so we could see what was going on. You are always awesome.
Cheers Bro.... That situation was a bit stressful. You are totally awesome!!!
Super Tator to the rescue--- I LOVE these-- I'm binge watching yoru stuff this week.
Hey Ron,
a great job that you and your team do and above all, you always pay attention to safety first.
All right, God bless you.
Not suprising, another awesome job completed by the Midwest crew
Well done again.
Like the new camera angle on the underlift!! Nice edits too! Stay safe.
I have no idea how I've come across this channel over the past 2weeks but these are so entertaining for some reason haha. I would love to work for this man
I think it's even more interesting because I live only 1.5hrs away in paducah, Ky and I come to Cape often for parts deliveries for work so I recognize alot of these areas.
Awesome job Ron and crew I think this winch out could of probably stumped some other tow company's. It was surprising that there wasn't much damage on the tractor.
I watched Talon operate the Rotator when you were with him but still sick
He did a good job especially with your help.
He said s a good guy and you will learn that he is really like a son! My son in law has become like that to me now for about 30 years!
Again I love your show I’m of an age where I can’t work much so the show keeps this old mind thinking! It’s better than the shows on TV.
I go back and view your older shows to watch your dad do his quiet leading
And I notice that the guys respect him a lot! I’m sure you must miss him. He was 6 years younger than me!
God bless you my friend and don’t quit holding the line until on being a witness in of right language and not apologizing for trusting God!
On the teaser, I thought that road was one that had no way out of it.
Nice recovery and no damage (other than what was there).
Not there way no way out, but rather a matter of being enough space for such a size of combination vehicle.
Lifting is ALWAYS the best option....
...for jobs that require lifting 😉👍
Another great truck rescue perfectly carried out well done would assume the semi wouldn't be able to be driven home because of no headlight operative on passenger side 😉
Guy dodged a big bullet there. Nice work Ron, Talon and Mike ! Stay safe, God Bless !
That wire was a lifesaver! Slow and steady wins every time!
Ron what a great job as usual, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
Real nice job Ron. That Rotator is an amazing piece of equipment. 👍👍
Wow!! No chinook needed tonight.. although that would have been spectacular.. lol. Mike and Talon are getting better and better with your tutelage, and another job well done by all. I think Talon should have had his waddle cam on.. lol That was dangerous, as seeing how the truck was really leaning towards the ditch. Again, you make a dangerous job look easier than it looks. God bless and have a safe week. Can't wait for the next one. Ooh.. Mike looked a bit terrified of moving that truck ahead, but he did really well. Some more practice driving the Tator should give him a bit more confidence, and I really love how he's not scared to dive right in with rigging, driving, holding brakes.. whatever it takes to get the job done. Consider giving him a raise... lol Laterz!!!
The officer sure knew Talon's name. ; )
Nice bit of mutual respect.
Thank you Mr Ron you are a good leader very polite to your buddies very seldom the leader gives instruction in a polite manner.Thanks again. God bless you n your buddies.Safety Always.
Excellent communication and teamwork! Great job by Ron, Talon and Mike!
Great. Job. Ron. As Always. You have a. Great. Team !
I love the strobes on the Outrigger's
It's funny I sit here and watch and READ like I know what's going on lol
U doooo lol
MYSELF!!! 😄😄😄😃😄
You know that what i like about the videos you do , you make it look so easy and you do the very best to not cause any excess damage to what you are doing a hook on great team work with the your guys and the police that was there and so happy the guy was not hurt as always no one hurt grat recovery as always , blessing to you and your crew and your family Ron Pratt
great job Rob, Talon, and Mike, Hope Mike got his license. i saw the training video. i know this is an old video. but am watching all of them.
Good video Ron and like you said got him out with very littlest hardly no damage at all to the truck or trailer hopefully getting him turned around was a little easier star safe out there Ron you and your crew
Well, that was teetering on the brink of calamity, good job done by all.
Liked the position of the camera on the lift arm, gave a different perspective to the job too.
Stay safe out there, whatever time of day you are all working 👍
Great job! Glad all are safe.
As always, you made a difficult job look easy. Thank you for another great video.
watching your videos makes me want to get in to recovery
I got a lot of respect for you the way you talk to your worker's and after each video AND MAY GOD BE WITH YOU ALLWAYS
Ron, don't quite know how you do it but always well done.. So many difficult situations... Thanks for showing us your interesting work.. God surely protects and blesses you and the team...
Little Lito AMEN
Thanks to my accident (getting mashed between a 16 ton eagle claw wheellift and a 9000 pound Ford Excursion-- and my age- (66) I'll never be able to do this kind of thing again-- but watching you makes me kind of NOT miss is quite so bad!!!
the guardian angel lights show up great at night. Another great video keep it up guys great job
Nice job Team Midwest!💪😎👍 That definitely took some thinking about the angles to use.
I like how polite u r with everyone
Ron and co thanks for the videos. Disclaimer I am from the UK retired electrician 20 years ago .
How do you keep safe from people ( not those in cars trucks WHY ) but those who think they have the right to your equipment , thinking about you woodland excursions , boy I had duelling banjos in my head.
Made me smile with your comments on over head power lines I used to do live line repairs
Stay safe in you chosen profession
An excellent job as always Ron. Not exactly how I thought you would do it, but your way worked alot better then Mine probably would have. God bless & be careful out there.
As a professional driver we rely so much on our gps, especially in an unfamiliar area, 90% of the time they are right on. But that other 10% can get you in trouble fast.
Another great job Ron & crew.
How do you know when you've watched too many of these videos? When you are anticipating Ron's next move before he makes it. Great video as always.
Well you & your crew did it again. Turned a possible rollover into a
SAFE pull out.
CONGRADULATIONS
on another job👆😃
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good job on the tow and the video. I thought from the teaser that it was going to be a lot more complicated. Great example of the KISS rule. Kudos to your crew too.
EXACTLY!!! Try not to over-complicate things. Thanks and God bless.
You guys work so hard i have been working hard as well god bless u & all ur lads take care on the high ways (( roads or motor ways ))
Great job Ron and guys. Stay safe. God bless you and your family in everything you do.
Another great recovery from Midwest thanks RON and TEAM job very well done as usual
Great job Ron, one damage hood is al lot cheaper than the truck. Those GPS you gotta up date them.
