HONEY, THERE'S A RAM IN OUR POND!!! I POND-ER HOW IT GOT THERE

[@paulalaporte195]

I just want to add something. Yesterday here in CT we lost an officer. State Trooper First Class Aaron Pelletier. I personally didn’t know him. He was on a traffic stop when someone struck him. He leaves behind a wife and young children. Please pray for his family and friends. And I can’t stress this enough please slow down and move over. 💔. Thanks.

[@rogerbond7811]

Thoughts with his family and friends. You are supposed to go home at the end of your shift. R.I.P. Aaron.

[@RonPratt]

It is so heartbreaking that this happens more often than most know about. Anyone who works around live traffic is at risk. We can light it up, wear reflective gear and park emergency vehicles as blockers but still are in danger. We always pray for highway departments, emergency response personnel, towing and recovery operators and especially law enforcement. Distracted drivers are increasing exponentially and never think they could be the one to destroy a life. Thank you for watching and God bless.

[@raysutton2310]

@@RonPratt While I respect your position on fatalities, there is a counter argument; provided the families involved are o.k. with it showing the consequences of poor decision making, especially by teens or other younger drivers may go some way to saving lives. At the end of the day it's your moral compass in the driving seat so as always it's your call.

[@EmergencyGuy]

For many of you guys who don’t know what the device Ethan uses to get the strap down is, it’s not for that purpose. It’s a Fifth Wheel pin puller. It’s meant to reduce the distance the driver has to reach to pull his or her pin when dropping his trailer. This way, the driver doesn’t have to get underneath his or her trailer and physically grab his tractor’s pin handle to pull the pin. I think it’s a pretty smart idea.

[@TEEETHREEEMEEE]

Another exciting video to watch, Ron. I was really impressed with how you set the wreck down so gently onto its wheels by the roadside as gently as you would set a sleeping baby down in its crib.
