[@justintaylor6980]

Ron Pratt saw this video and instantly went and bought a blue and white guardian angle and it’s on my gear at fire house. Anytime I’m on the road I’ll be using it and also depending on the fire I may bring in pocket in case of emergency light her up can’t hurt to have some extra light to say I’m here in emergency in fire or on side road. Thank you so much.

[@cclngthr]

@@justintaylor6980 I bought 3 of them, 2 for the car and one for my power wheelchair. They arrived today and they are nice to have.

Ron God bless you for you & all your family Truckers,,those in need ,, Sheriffs,troopers,firemen , ,police ,military &friends

[@junestephens1758]

God bless all you boys and all those people you help,stay safe, I'll send you my angels to you,and those in need

[@Daveinet]

Ron, One thing you can learn from the off road community - when you give instructions on turning the wheel, you say either to turn driver, or turn passenger. Otherwise they don't know if you mean your left or their left. Of course the other half the issue is for those that are dyslexic, it makes more sense.

[@artfordlowery490]

RON WATCHING YOU AND YOUR CREW WORKING TOGETHER IN ALL THE SNOW AND ICY CONDITIONS, MAKES ME THINK OF THE WEATHER UP IN BALTIMORE MARYLAND I'D LIVED UP THERE FOR OVER 50 YEARS AND RETRIED AND SOLD MY HOME AND MOVED DOWN HERE IN NORTH CAROLINA AND EXPERIENCES THE VERY MILD WEATHER 60 AND 70 DEGREES TEMPERATURES THANKING THE LORD

[@carolcohen1776]

Not the easiest job in the world for sure. You all did a great job in that dangerous environment. Bless you all.

[@johnallen2771]

That truck is special. I just love seeing it work in rain, snow and ice. It's pretty incredible all the things that truck can do. I hope you live where they have a 4th of July parade each year so you can show it off to everybody.

[@JJDigitalartStudio]

Ron I believe you had a little more than just a guardian angel light helping you that day. I would say God was giving you a lot of help.

[@briangleason75]

You are a true hero. I am a long haul trucker. I have had a few situations when I first started, that I wish I had a true expert help me out. Instead I had a guy complain about how he got woken out of bed. Be Safe. God Bless you.

[@chrisbrand5728]

Never gave a thought to your profession till I discovered your video's. Unsung heroes, bless you folks, your in my prayers!

[@missiontent111]

You make a good point here. Because most people need us just once ...... maybe twice .... in their lives ... we really are a forgotten area of expertise. For example : the British Government introduced a scrappage scheme in 2010 that took half a million older cars off the road in eleven months. Our business turnover dropped by 75% in that same period. We went without for six and a half years . Many recovery operators went out of business. NOBODY CARED. The only time we get remembered is when we, and our trucks, are urgently needed at a breakdown or a crash. After 34 years of the job I have a lot of memories .......

[@terrinadeau8965]

I was thinking the exact same thing!

[@timgalley4391]

Great channel. Safety reminder for all you truck drivers, please be careful in the windy conditions with the trailer doors. A truck driving friend of my dad opened a door all the way around to the side and whilst leaning into the trailer the wind blew the door around and it hit him across the lower back and paralysed him. Seeing Ron fighting with the door reminded me. Take care, be safe. From the UK

[@robertboeck3152]

Wow! You guys are much underappreciated. While we sit in our warm homes you are out rescuing people and their vehicles. My hat is off to you!

[@billgroel4463]

You work excellent with talon .God Bless thank you for sharing stay safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸😎

[@mariofollowerofjesus8068]

Nobody knows how much mental and physical work is involved to get your job done safely God is with you Ron God Bless. Mario from California

[@hamrad645]

Ron, I lived 6 years in Wichita, Kansas -- that was back in the mid-50's to 1963! When we moved from there, it was 15 below (actual temperature-no windchill figured in) and there was 2.5 feet of snow on the ground. We've seen some icy weather since then, but we moved to North Central Florida in 1967! It's a far sight warmer here in the winter!

[@lockedin60]

It is amazing how "weather" affects normal operations. Glad you are available when "weather" disrupts things.

[@victoriacaddy2221]

Why the quotes around weather

[@kamoonrathewolfgod9189]

And that's why they pay you the big bucks Ron. You are a fix-it-all man. And in all kinds of not-so-great weather yet. I can't even imagine how you do it but you really are a hero.

[@peterrichardson9355]

Ron, you are a gentleman escorting the driver safely great video as always

[@kenweber7271]

Ron, you sound totally exhausted on this job. Tow operators definitely don't get enough credit and recognition.

[@tyler4164]

If my wife ever got into trouble on the road i would hope someone like you would be around to keep her safe. Top man

[@BluesHand]

That kind of cold will blow the wind right out of your sails. Any time, any where. Period! It's two years later and Nine Below Zero in the land of the BluesHand! Best of the Future to you Ron! One Love!

[@555chevy]

Heart goes out to you and Talon and all the guys out there answering distress calls from people need on that very bad night.

[@RollingEasy]

I'm 70 yrs old in one month's time.... I've never seen snow in my life other than in a fridge..... I count my blessings every time I see something like this.... Give me the deserts at upwards of 105+ degrees and I'd be happier there, than here. Feb 18 2021. Edit: I've just had the video on hold for quite a time and come back now to see its conclusion...... You're all very Fine Men.... God Bless you all.

[@randomdude8381]

This channel , highway thru hell , and heavy rescue 401 and I’m all set

[@stevewilson405]

Talon is doing great. He deserves his own camera

[@100SteveB]

You guys certainly earned your money that day. Glad you and everyone else got through it safely.

[@mrfelix2510]

That is one serious tow truck you have and your knowledge and skills are impressive to say the least.

[@randyhigginbotham6967]

God Bless you and Mr. Talon for the sacrifices you make.

[@stephendarrow7596]

The Lord be with you Ron. Amen!!! No wonder you got sick. God Bless you and your crew that have to work on nights like your videoing tonight

[@mr.redneck7495]

Hats off to you and Talon for your hard work!!the content is great and everybody watching should appreciate what you do!!

[@albertkidder7716]

I like watching your videos, and the hard work you all do. Keep them coming Ron. And your crew is out standing as well.

[@hfraat25]

Its not an easy job plenty of thinking all the time can not afford to take your mind off the job. Very well done to all your team

[@brandonwagner3873]

Cool

[@chrisanderson9856]

Ron and Talon I have a whole new respect for your profession. Now I know why I build custom fishing rods and develope fishing tackle. I spent 20 yrs in Law Enforcement in that cold and wet crap here in MN and IL. I no longer do it due to medical reasons and spend my days indoors. I would give anything to be back in the thick of it again. Again you have much respect from me doing you profession!! God Bless and always stay safe!!!

[@RonPratt]

Thank you so much for your support of our profession and this channel. We appreciate you. Thank you for watching and God bless

[@toms56chevy]

Ron, you remind me of my uncle who started his own towing company many years back. Your persona and the way you are verbal with everyone and co-workers. You are doing a fine job. You are an outstanding person and treat everyone with respect. My hat is off to you coming all the way from California.

[@daveberkovits4976]

Love your care and concern for people. Your faith shows.

[@passingthru69]

And this is why I take the winters off. Sitting here in Thailand at the wife's family home. Nice and warm. Mr. Ron, give you and your crew all the credit in the world..

[@jamesdearman814]

[@mikeseguin6443]

Hi Ron.I can feel your pain.I worked as a heavy equipment mechanic for many years in the Forest industry.Spent many hrs in the -30 to -40 degree weather fixing logging equipment.You make me shiver watching you work in the wet cold weather.Stay safe and warm.God be with you.🙏🏻

[@warrenmills16]

Ron u having fun pulling out the trucks out of snow and I ce . Keep up with the amazing work yall doing.god bless you and your family

[@bobbertirvin2116]

God bless you Ron you have the Lord and all his Angels giving you the power to do what you do. At age 54 I don't think I could do what you do. But than again let me not underestimate the power of the lord. Love your videos man.

[@richardhenderson9986]

Ron I enjoy your videos, you are very dedicated to what you do. This video just proved to me what I already suspected. We have some idiots driving out there now days. The 2nd truck driver was going to call you for running out of GAS but that wasn’t the bad part. When you knocked on door to get the LAZY ASS guy to open the door he had his hands up as if you were going to hurt him. He was absolutely NO help at anything. If that was my driver, his ass would have had to call a ride right there on the frozen highway.

[@joycemisner2941]

This is true hard work. I hope you get paid accordingly. Thanks for all the help you give...no money pays for that.

[@craigschofield64]

Mr Ron that was a tough night from the looks of it. But as tired and wore out as I bet you were you still did the gentlemanly thing and got the door for the lady driver and then you made sure she got to the other truck safely! Sir you are definitely a role model that everyman should aspire to be more like, including myself. God Bless and be safe🙂

[@carolynjones6457]

Excellent recovery, Ron and Talon. I really enjoy watching you and your crew recover vehicles, no matter what size they are. You are very professional at what you do. God Bless You and Your Family. 👍👍👍👍

[@rodk.6878]

This is a great learning video for those who say the tow bills are WAY to much.... I've tried to explain to people until I'm blue in the face to get them to understand the work that goes into it.

[@JD-bv2ht]

Saying a little prayer for all that has to battle the weather to make others feel safe.. thank you Ron for all you and the crew does on the job..

[@ladyofhistory12]

I enjoy watching your program. You have proved to me that you are extremely polite and care about the drivers/ families of accidents. You are very professional and curious.

[@davidglaum2538]

Ron I am amazed at how little snow and ice it takes to get the big trucks in a bind. They go great on dry roads but some mud and snow and they call you. Good job.

[@eastcostzen7887]

Yaaa. Man, my hat is off to you. We all appreciate what you do.

[@jerrysparks1308]

Ron I have to say YOU ARE THE BEST TOW TRUCK DRIVER i HAVE WATCHED OR SEEN ON THE HWY THANK GOD I never needed a tow WHEW I drove the cost to cost for 35 years, but keep the videos coming

Thanks 👍I appreciate the positive comment. Thank you for watching and God bless.

[@avalonbear61]

That video reminds me of all the snowy nights I spent pulling people out of ditches and creeks around central Indiana. Remain safe Ron, my prayers are with you and all our brothers in the tow business.

[@saramartin1234]

You bring back memories. I lived in Pa for years in snow. You guys are really amazing. Such great team work. Blessings. 🙏👠👠

It was much funner to watch this vid in the summertime than back last winter!!!

[@MarkK01]

How this brings back memories. I didn't drive the heavy but I did drive the 1 ton and flat deck trucks. Great job Ron.

[@bloodydeath1222]

i was waiting for Ron to jump in that truck and show him how it is done ha ha ha another great vid

[@slvalleyboy]

Sitting here watching these two videos is making me dread the upcoming Missouri Winter more than ever.

Gotta love Talon. He’s a damn great hand

[@Ed_diag]

I have been living in the Houston area for the last 24 years, however I grew up on the shore of Lake Ontario in NY. I thought I still missed seeing snow. Your video reminded me that I don’t have to shovel humidity! :-). Thank you for your hard work and great videos. God bless!

[@gailoursler2750]

Ron your mechanic abilities really come in handy for towing situations. Awesome!!!

[@TimsBitsnPieces]

Nice to see you carry your own toboggan for jobs when you are laying down on the job.. makes life much easier on the back. You and Talon do a great job working together a great team.

[@larryceaser1706]

Thank You U just reminded me why I retired at 55 Too damm old to be crawling around under trucks and trailers in snow - temperatures and rain I had had enough lmao

[@TprGordon]

Ron, I'm an avid follower of yours, and I've noticed at this time of the year the weather you and your crew work in. When I was a Police Officer I relied on this coffee mg. It's called" MallowMe", and they keep your coffee hot for many hours . Pleas stay safe, and I wish you and all your family a very happy and safe " Thanksgiving ". May God be with you Ron. You can get these coffee mugs on E-Bay.

Thanks for posting, just another fun evening living the dream playing in the snow... Y'all got'er done. That action trying to put that trailer in the slot sure would have got my last nerve. Guess it's tough when youre used to snow and can do it and you're standing there watching somebody that apparently has problems with it. 😌🇺🇸

Another job well done, keep up the good work and may God keep you all safe.

[@CrossAnchors]

Knights of the Road for keeping the Young Lady safe and warm, and getting both trucks out of trouble, this really was an interesting video, simply because many years ago, I was once in a situation where I broke down in bad winter weather like this, my Broms Brake Valve had frozen open, you'll know what happened, and what I went through, and why I was so angry as to why it should never have happened, the bad thing about that night, the recovery driver had me standing in a blizzard holding his torch while he worked, and all I had was a light cotton jacket, I was so cold, your video had all the memories flooding back, and I was shivering as I watched, needless to say, when I got back to the Depot, me and the depot mechanic never spoke for some time

[@bloodmoongrizzlythefirst6492]

I would of dropped that Torch. I was taught by my father who had been a trucker for close to 50 years back when there was no such thing as a sleeper in a truck and you was lucky if it had 140hp His first truck was a Old White with a chain drive that is when he started. Anyways my truck was always packed with winter gear even if it was the summer and i kept MRE's in there enough to last a week. I had one winter i was stuck on top of a mountain pass due to them closing the roads down it was that bad was stuck there 3 days. For two nights a lady and her son stayed in my truck to stay warm and i shared my food the hotel near us was charging $300 a night and they had people sharing rooms this lady could not afford it. She was going around asking for some loose change what not for gas so they could keep the car warm . I told her her and he son was welcome to stay in the truck with me i had bunks Bottom one could sleep both of them just fine and i would take the top or if she didn't like that i sleep in my chair. Her son was happy as a camper with the Video game system and tv in the truck plus all the videos to this day i still get christmas cards from them and last year i was invited to his Graduation from high school. Moral to the story Be like a boy scout be prepared

[@deucerider430]

I've watched many of his recoveries and his professionalism shines on every one! He has the ability to size up every situation at a glance. And through it all. he remains cool, unrattled and always a gentleman. Well done Ron! PS... I love how the boxes are so organized, saving time and frustration! Great equipment!

[@jerrypin6740]

Ron thank you for sharing with us great content as always and thumbs up as always GOD bless everyone

[@jfmaniac5118]

This job has to be both rewarding and sad at the same time... in your business you depend on (indirectly) people being bad drivers or having accidents. I truly respect your line of work! putting your lives on the line every call you take!

Ron, it's a sad day that I write this. I did catch your Facebook post of the accident with the car in the lake today. I know something like that must really be hard on anyone. My condolences to the driver of that car and best wishes for you and your crew. May God bless you all in all your endeavors. And may you or your crew ever experience the likes of that accident again. God bless you sir, and your crew.

[@RonPratt]

It was a difficult situation, but one that I have learned to deal with as part of the job. I won't say that it doesn't bother me, because it does. One has to put on their professional face and get the job done with dignity and respect. Thanks and God bless.

[@LoneWolf1965]

I myself work in oil field safety. It's especially tough when you have to go out and secure a drilling rig or other locations that's had accidents or even fires. It takes a lot out of a person. I've been fortunate however that I was not the one called out for such situations. I don't think I would have the strength for it. And I applaud you for having that strength. I'm just a fire extinguisher guy but I can do safety if I need to. Again. God bless you sir.

[@RonPratt]

@@LoneWolf1965 Did you hear about one of the "Duck" boat/trucks that went down over in Branson, MO, several months ago?? At least one of the Highway Patrol dive team members who was here today worked that incident. My hat's off to those guys. Today they were working in zero visibility, 34 degree water with strong current due to the Mississippi River being flooded right now. A LOT of people came together last night and today to handle this situation.

[@LoneWolf1965]

No I haven't heard about that one. I only knew about this incident thru your Facebook. And I don't live in the area. I live out here in midland, Texas. Way out west. So unless I'm on the Internet I don't hear much of what goes on. But that's an incident I wouldn't care for. That's for sure. God bless our first responders and military.
