Can't help but ask myself, "What would Ron Pratt do?" -Maybe set out traffic cones beside the trailer to give a slight buffer to work in? -Wear a helmet? -Keep the triangles out while work is being done? -Look out for the driver and keep him from putting himself in danger? -Not remain under the truck while lifting and lowering it? Also... -Remember it's never safe to go under a load. If another truck had hit your trailer, Blue could have come down on top of you. -Maybe carry a sign to stick on the back of your trailer - Slow Down - Move Over.

[@andromaliusification]

imagine if the tow truck operator was actually Ron, this would be awesome having a trucking youtube towing another trucking youtuber

[@Bruinpena]

Who the heck is Ron Pratt? Is he running for President?

[@WarriorKnitter]

@@Bruinpena He should ~ he has a great tow channel. kzbin.info

[@adriantempzen227]

That's right

[@napaboy101]

Old comment but Ron would've definitely introduced himself too. Dude in this video just walked by without saying anything lol,

[@carolynjones6457]

The Tow Truck Driver was courteous and professional, when you see any vehicle Parked on the side of the road it is only for your safety and the person hooking up to the vehicle that has broken down for you to slow down and move over. God Bless You. As always, safe travels. 👍👍✌️.

Tow truck makes the perfect 2nd car. Thanks for filming this content of hooking up John, I found it very interesting.

[@CompetentSalesUSA]

Quite a bit of dead time, watching the freeway. Thank you

[@dennismckown8810]

when i ran over a landscape in the middle of a cul-de-sac, after a 3 day rain storm, and sunk my trailer tires to the bottom of the box, 2 of these big rig wreckers showed up. i didn't know how to get out so one of the wrecker drivers' showed me, one wrecker pulled on the DOT bumper while i moved the truck around to get out and around the landscape. it was a muddy mess, but they had a bobcat to clean up the mud. again, i never saw a ticket, must of hit my company with it. taught me one thing, never use the suburbs to turn around if you miss your turn to delivery point.

[@theamerican7131]

Never a dull moment with you. JBG. You lead an exciting life. ha, ha !

[@johnmudra8785]

SCARRY..AS HELL LISTENING TO THE TRAFFIC GOING BY SO CLOSE..

[@Tcott]

"as far as you know you saw me jump outta the way and it flew outta my hand" lol love that dude

[@m.a.9471]

Hello . I m not truckers , abus driver in UK but like to watching your video. Seems like you are a good men. Respect. Sir .

[@randybarentine5762]

So sorry Baby Blue go sick. Sure hope it isn’t too serious and your back on the road. Glad you were safe during all that, not a good lace to be on the side of the road. Not good but an awesome video to show what a truck driver goes through and still keeps going. Glad you were OK. Get Baby Blue fixed and back on the road..

[@leeshaver7825]

I know exactly how that tow operator feels I threw my mag light at a guy that hit me with his mirror

[@Bruinpena]

You lucky I was not armed that day. It hit my freshly painted rear hitch and scraped it up bad!

[@theyrenotdollsOK]

@@Bruinpena We're lucky you're not armed, period.

[@GrammarPoliceInvestigations]

I hope the reefer has enough fuel to sit through the holiday unless the boss is getting a rental tractor.

[@davenwpg1]

Same thing happened to me Vero Breach FL..Gator`s creeping around in the dark lol 1994

[@bigstrapper-heavyhaul804]

There are move over laws in Kansas and Missouri, most just don't move over! I had to laugh when I watched this video, I used to haul equipment for that tow company. Lazer pipes Services out of Grandview Mo

[@Solitaryman70]

Pulling the driveshafts is gonna be interesting.

[@itoldyouso2137]

I've been towed or ON THE HOOK a few times in my career. Not a good feeling

[@AirAmerica]

Been there and done that on I-35 back in early 2000's

[@1decks]

dangerous job

[@Esotelien]

safety tip: in this situation stand on the other side so you'll be further from traffic

[@rmccarrillo1759]

When that happened to me.....I was lucky to have cat 🐈 litter.

[@offgridcabin1557]

Just a word of advice JBG. You should never turn your back on traffic like you did while picking up your triangles. Those lights warn sober drivers but attract drunk ones. And don't let me get started on the inattentive while texting or using the cell phone ones! More Troopers lose their lives to people hitting them while they are out of their vehicles, than by any other means. Keep yourself safe, I enjoy your video's!

[@24juan68]

Thanks for the advice my friend

[@JamesCameron1]

Lost the bottom end of the compressor. Never seen one fail that badly before.

[@leek7412]

That engine is toast. looks like they didn`t tighten the oil filter enough.

[@williambaker08]

This wasn’t his first issue with this truck either. He ran out of gas one day too close to a pilot. The truck said it has 1/4 of a tank but stalled at a red light and he had to get it started with starting fluid to get it to the gas station. Seems to me he needs some preventive maintenance more often.

[@JDSWeather]

This is why tow companies should have two people at the job site one flagging while the other is prepping the vehicle to be towed

[@sunrise451]

pain having to dismantle the drive train

[@MrBogeyone]

Amazing that even in states with a pull over law, idiots never attempt to move over. I even back off and give them room to get into the other lane but they just keep on going without thought. Even tow truck drivers refuse sometimes. SMDH................

[@DesolationofJake]

MrBogeyone the saddest part is they know the law. he made a video of a state trooper asking if he needed help with anything and people knew how to get over cause there was a trooper on the side of the road. now that hes gone and jbg is getting towed they dont care.

[@smoki2515]

Freightliners love being towed.

[@geraldbeard8443]

they need help unit trunks to deal with the traffic. I'm glad Tennessee passed the law if you don't move over someone is broke down or an emergency vehicles or road construction. it's an automatic$500.00 fine.

[@mattpaulson4203]

Gerald Beard gotta catch them first

[@jays106]

its nationwide now i believe but problem is in enforcement even when they get a ticket for it they keep doing it

[@vernmiller3584]

At least now you have a cell phone...used to have to walk to a phone...

[@goodmoaningvietnam1439]

Moving over for someone on the hard shoulder is not a requirement in the UK, I do especially if a guy is working on the traffic side.

[@areenakju]

Stay​safe

[@marcellusmoyer4792]

Aparently they don't have any move over laws in Kansas.But in Virginia were I live, you either move over or slow down or face a hefty fine plus have some points against your driving record

[@MrXmannymanx]

Marcellus Moyer i see some cars moving for the most part....here in cali its terrible. cars will not move over for anything and when i cant move over and slow down i start getting honked at like crazy.

[@jokerman213]

Kansas has a Mover Over Law. Those people are just being assholes.

[@weirdfan88]

MannyMan Ya I do that as well people are just to inpatient and stupid

[@jonas2431]

We have that law in texas

[@jays106]

its a law nationwide now i believe but its rarely enforced

[@thaintriguing1]

It’ll be really funny if the tow truck guy was “Plaza Towing” filming another episode; when KZbinrs meet

[@doriswalker7492]

Hi John baby blue needs fixing from Westminster MD

[@SALEEM23ful]

That is the bottom of your air pump.The cover popped off.

[@chriskowalski7038]

These tow truck drivers should get danger pay..crawling around under that rig in all that fast moving heavy traffic...

[@Sara-L]

In the state of Missouri, they are considered emergency vehicle operators. Fail to pull over and slow down, or yield, and you'll be seeing state police in your rear view mirrors.

[@gatorred157]

well i bet you find out it one of them important parts! one it needs to run! like the one NASCAR driver said yes the engine broke the other guy asked what broke the thing on the front of the crankshaft broke off! they told me it was a important part!

[@davidalexander3599]

in the state Washington its a big no no pull to the left

[@bigninja2]

Looks like you had an accident after a cup of that truck stop Peruvian coffee.

[@sunrise451]

walk on the grass side not the highway side...

[@86Lebowski]

I don't know what engine BB has, but looking at a diagram of a dd15 looks like the bottom of the crankcase breather? Dunno, but glad you got of the road safely.

[@adrianbanuelos8052]

Mr PB. Nah that’s the air compressor. Plug in the bottom blew out looks kind of like a freeze plug. The crank case breather is on the opposite side of the engine

[@stevesmith-wc2gb]

I knew that from another channel I watch that runs a company in Scott city Missouri

[@WarriorKnitter]

Same here.

[@tonysmith1253]

Hey JGB Travels just a little advice the place you stood for so long at 2:21 is called the dead man zone. I am a tow truck operator in North Carolina so i know about these dangers. Just giving you a heads up because if a truck would loose control and hit your rig it would push it into u and kill you instantly crushing u between your truck and the tow truck. Be safe and safe travels Please if you see amber lights or a tow truck Slow Down And Move Over!!

[@johnb433brandt8]

Tony Smith And the rain drops could change to purple tomorrow what's the point he's no more in then danger zone then standing on the other side? Really!? These are the kind of things that make some tow truck drivers better then others. That comment is stupid!? Just Saying

[@carolynjones6457]

Johnb433 Brandt Watch Ron Pratt, he is a tow Truck Driver and he's always saying Slow down and move over. He will not let anyone stand in the dead zone, neither would my Husband, who has also driven Tow Trucks. You can find Ron Pratt's KZbin channel by googling Midwest Truck, they are in Scott City, Missouri.

[@gdvibes1]

I would not want that guys job, climbing under a truck that size hoping a part don;t break or a weld , and the cars that won't get over and then driving a truck pulling a truck and trailer lot of Danger on that job.

[@workcolton1238]

gdvibes1 i do that

[@michaelburton9120]

I do it all day every day

[@nicklewound71]

I used to do it. Was a very interesting job. We also did rollover recoveries for semis too. That part took several hours. On accident we working for 22hours straight cleaning it up rolling it over securing it and hauling back to our impound.

[@Bruinpena]

So get a desk job in some sleepy town processing paperwork...and some dumb nut job pissed off at the world comes in and mows everybody with an AR-15, including you.

[@jamesshaw4954]

I had a 2019 freightliner and it got towed at 21,991 mi

[@Bruinpena]

Yeah but what happened to Miss Blue? I must have missed the previous broadcast.

[@johnbruckner4681]

Peace Out !

[@annettehudson929]

BABYBLUE IS GETTING TOWED😭

[@Allen187thlivefree]

thats to funny! oh my underwear!!! lol

[@joncarnard3436]

In my state its a law that you must move over or slow way down if you cant move over, or face a hefty fine. Just a few years ago a owner of a road side service company was killed on the side of the road working on a semi. Idiot drivers!

[@shayearl2369]

it's crazy how people have no consideration for others on the side of the road. But if they broke down, they want you to get over for them

[@heremiapohatu6954]

The air pump shares engine oil with the engine.

Blew the bottom out of the air compresser ya dont see that to often.

[@dl9031]

Looks like you lost your oil filter that round hole is missing a oil filter did you hear a large-boom under the rig beforehand that would have been it.

[@Alkysix]

yup, there's not enough oil on the road to be the contents of the oil pan.

[@jimmy504whodat5]

Doesn't this leave a big empty felling in your stomach having Baby blue hooked up to a tow truck kinda like when Ole Blue broke down and had to be towed for a hundred miles to a KW shop your truck becomes an extension of you l know l would feel sick to my.stomach l have been there myself.

[@adrianbanuelos8052]

That “big whole” is the bottom side of the air compressor. The oil filter is a cartridge type on the same side but further forward up top. I’m guessing air compressor oil supply o ring or the return o ring.

[@larryehrlich8702]

10', 100', & 200' on the triangles...why do 97% of the drivers get it wrong? Perhaps the triangle storage box needs directions on or in it to help the drivers get it right.

[@lb012006]

You put the triangles about wrong!
