  • Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!!! Today, Oscar and I get to do a little Heavy lifting workout. A bulk tanker loaded with HazMat was involved in a crash and hauled in on a RGN trailer to its destination. We get called in to lift and unload the damaged trailer. The rear axle was knocked completely out of the trailer and the front axle has been compromised. We use our flagship Peterbilt 389X with a Miller Industries, Century 1150R heavy towing & recovery unit as well as Dad's Western Star with a Vulcan V70 to lift this 55,000 pound (24,948 kg) behemoth!!! I loved, loved, LOVED this job. I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

    Again, a very special thank you to all my viewers, family, and friends who having taken the time to show their support. May God bless and protect you all!!!

    I really like Oscar. He seems to be knowledgeable yet willing to learn more, and he’s certainly a “let’s get ‘er done” type of individual.

  • @Rags722
    @Rags722 Před 10 měsíci +70

    Love this! Oscar is a natural! Lots of hustle and anticipates what is needed. Customer slinging chain just like he works for Midwest. Star and Tator working together like it was a single person working both controls. Great show Ron. Thanks and have a wonderful day!

      He doesn't let any grass grow under his feet. He's always working, studying, or planning. He's always asking Ron for information - he seems to always want to learn.

    Oscar has the best quality in an employee... he listens. He is not thinking about lunch or how he is would do the job, he pays attention and listens to instructions. I'll bet he shows up on time and ready to work, not half asleep and looking for coffee.

      So thankful to see a video from you. I know nobody's going to be swearing. And if I accidentally go to sleep, I can always back it up and watch it again. This is my third time catching COVID. I really hate sitting around the house. This helps to make it all worthwhile.

    Ron Im a retired driver/ operator back in my younger days I was driving a Ltl Ford with a Holmes 750. We did like you with 2 750's just like you did with this bulk trailer. But our trailer was a Propane Blimp with 10% left on board, so it sloshed a little. But like you we took our time and watched everything! I love watching your adventures so much but NONE have brought back memories like this lift! Thanks for all your video's!! You can bet I watch them alot. Craig

      From previous views of Ron's cab we might get the impression that Ethan's skills in tidying up must have come from his mother!

    Does the heart good to see an All-American man and crew doing honest, IMPORTANT work. What you do is dangerous, very hard work, at all hours, and I hope everyone who watches these videos recognizes that. When things like this happen, you want reputable, COMPETENT people doing the work, and you don’t get that everywhere. If you haven’t heard it today, good work, Ron - stay safe.

  • @davidwayne9982
    @davidwayne9982 Před 10 měsíci +20

    I love watching you work with your guys-- they all have so much good common sense and smarts on rigging correctly etc.- and that is HARD to train correctly--youve done such a great job of it and have a WONDERFUL crew... AGAIN- you have MUCH to be proud of. Maybe you should consider filming and doing a TRAINING COURSE for tow drivers and RECOVERY specialist... you'd make a bundle...

    My favourite part about these videos is that there’s no drama you guys get along willing to listen to each other. I know Oscar is probably not quite as well informed as you I don’t even know what you look like but I think you guys did amazing job and watching the camaraderie and that was just special to watch

  • @markreetz1001
    @markreetz1001 Před 10 měsíci +15

    You made me laugh at myself. When you pulled along side the load and stopped, I said out loud, "Ron, you're too far away." Then you started putting out the outriggers and they end up a foot away from the load. I thought, I guess he doesn't need me to tell him where to park! Good video Ron. Oscar seems to have the hang of it just needing a little more experience.

  • @mdcg1278
    @mdcg1278 Před 10 měsíci +5

    Funny you mentioned a car hitting it. Years ago I worked for a grease company who had a class B tank truck hit in Florida. Dude driving a S10 came around a curve on the wrong side and hit the truck so fast it tore up the steps and knocked both rear axles out. Both trucks were totaled and the S10 driver was air lifter to the hospital.

    What they just said it’s HARD to get people to
    Get into the Profession and stay. The govt / state/ fed makes
    it so hard to get a CDL, and then the drug tests a lot
    of them can’t pass it☹️. And the sad thing is it
    will only get worse 😢😢. Keep up the good work
    and I hope that your company will continue to grow .

He is a go getter yet never gets to "rammy" always double checks things like as he was booming up he stopped to check the space on the glad hands. Job well done.
