IMPALED BY THE GUARD RAIL!!! AND IT' IS LEAKING HAZMAT!!!

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!!! Today, we call in for most of the crew to work a major crash with a semi truck and loaded trailer close to rolling down an embankment after hitting the guardrail of a bridge HARD!!! It's actively leaking diesel and other fluids. Let me make this clear, even though this is a JB Hunt trailer, this was NOT a JB Hunt truck or driver. This "private carrier" grabbed the wrong trailer and then wrecked the entire rig!!!! The driver wasn't supposed to be pulling this trailer. I rush to the scene with our Emergency Response Unit. Ethan brings his new Western Star with Miller Industries Century 9055XL. TALON bring our flagship Rotator, the Peterbilt 389X with a Century 1150R. With the location, the leaks, the lean, and the impalement of the guardrail, this makes for one challenging job, but as most of you know, I enjoy a challenge!! It's quite the interesting recovery and, hopefully, an enjoyable video for all. Thank you, God, for blessing our family and our business. Watch as we continue to receive God's blessings. There is much more to come!!! I hope you enjoy this video!!!
We have a difficult and dangerous job and we take it very seriously, that doesn't mean we can't have fun and enjoy our work. We strive to be polite, professional, efficient, and safe...and still can have fun. 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!!!

[@lawnboy81SMS]

You can hear the concern in your voice with that secondary crash, and can appreciate you stopping ALL operations temporarily until you figured out all your own crew and supporting emergency units were safe and accounted for before continuing. Everyone’s safety on scene and making sure they’re accounted for is defintley of utmost importance with so many people and units on a scene like that with so many things going on at once. Nice work!

[@jaredstrehlein5605]

At least no one got seriously injured. The driver's pride is shattered. He took the wrong trailer and wrecked that is double whammy. Good work. Teamwork makes the dream work.

[@davidpistey6429]

I love seeing Talon back out, but man he has changed so much now that he’s a papa

[@wynottgivemore9274]

I concur, and office work isn't healthy for him either. He needs to be out fulltime in a tow truck again.

[@raulmatias4938]

We call him being a dad "papa" is what we call a grandfather

This one was a serious physics and geometry problem. It is a lot of fun watching how you solve those problems.

[@Rags722]

Ron... you have had interesting jobs, technical jobs, fishing jobs, muddy jobs, entertaining jobs, dangerous jobs, educational jobs, and a host of other ways to get us to see what your equipment can do. This one beat them all! I think I forgot to breathe for a while. Right around 16:40 I had visions of the entire mess rolling and taking at least Tator with it. You and the entire team impressed the heck out of me on this one! Good show, stay safe!

[@charleendunn5446]

Great Job Brother Ron and crew! Thank you for sharing the Brothers comment! It’s amazing where we find each other! I have found several Brothers while towing! This one was not having a good day his wife just had a car accident. She was uninjured but shaken up. While I was cleaning up the scene I noticed the square and compass on a truck. He had been by. So I asked him if that was his truck and he said yes it is. When I put my hand out you could see his stress was relieved and was so happy that a brother was taking care of his car! Even tho the accident happened on a busy road it’s like time had stopped while we briefly introduced each other and what lodges we belonged too! Kindness belongs in this industry! SMIB

[@colinhoward74]

What a bummer for the driver of that rig , picks the wrong trailer and then skewers his boss's Volvo on a guard rail , secondry crash , stop to check all the crew are ok and there , your work was really cut out for you ! I can just imagine how the boss must have been feeling , driver takes wrong trailer , prangs rig , asks Ron the details (fra tically) just for Ron to say , let me fix the hazmat leak and I will get back to you ! He's trying to work out the damage and costs quickly and the tow guy says ' let me stop everything potentially going up in flames ' must have made his night infinitely worse ! Difficult job , well done .

[@rickstewart9716]

Another awesome video Ron, only thing that sucks is only hearing part of the conversation. I'll keep watching though cause your the best in the business.

[@libby5335]

That was a chore! It amazes us that you can assess the situation in a rather short time and get the rigging in place and start the recovery. Kudos to you and your crew! All of you are awesome!

[@Sam590ss]

It's one of the more tricky ones I've seen you have to deal with. Great teamwork, everyone!

[@philippenaluna2312]

That were a job and a half!! As usual, a bad situation made good with a whole lot of teamwork to get it done. That tractor unit's front nearside was a bit beat up, but should be all right with a bit of T-Cut and a good scrub! Actually, correction, either a major re-build or off to the scrapyard - insurance pending. Good to see Talon out of the office/workshop for a change. Helps him keep his hand in! Great job all of you! Greetings from the UK. God bless.

[@SteveNicoson-u1i]

Thanks for a super super video Ron and the entire crew. You had a tough one there with that guard rail tangled up in the semi truck and trailer. What a mess. Little by little you got it. Wow. Tough one to deal with. Great teamwork and great crew. Talon seems to be going again. Good leadership on your part Ron. Good one to see how it is done. ✅ Nice work Ron. The retired Air Force veteran.

[@seagullsbtn]

That driver and his Boss and JB Hunt were definitely having a bad bad day.....

[@bobmazzi7435]

I was going "What?" when Ron was handed the phone from the "owner" of the company. Thinking it was a bigwig at JB Hunt. Then I saw that the power was a different company. With your comment that this was a mistaken hook this driver and company have some interesting court times coming. Hunt will want to shed the blame and responsibility, as they should, for the financial ripples from this wreck. But with a "stolen" trailer and a fuel spill this will be an interesting mess. However, the tractors owner has a good DOT record so I expect they will step up and make it right.

[@GoldPicard]

Certainly not the driver. I'm sorry but anyone out here wearing less than shoes automatically gets a lower assessment in my opinion because if they can't even meet that standard then I don't believe they can meet the rest of the standards to be a good professional driver.​@bobmazzi7435

[@stevenbelsky1652]

Great job by Ron and his team with this mess how does a driver pick up a wrong trailer. When ever I pick up a trailer the paperwork has the trailer number on it and usually a security guard will double check to make sure you have the right trailer

[@paulpeckham9947]

I can't say enough for the team and crew that Ron has taught and put together. Just outstanding performance 👏 👌 🙌 👍

Ron, it's always such a treat to watch you in action in difficult situations or dangers circumstances like on this gig. You are a master, a field general, all while teaching at the same time. I just don't know how you juggle it all buddy. Congrats on a job WELL done on this one as it had a ton of challenges. You're the best pal and Ethan is coming along as well. Stay safe out there and I pray for a hedge of protection around all the Team. Never miss an episode.

[@jbbrown7907]

I used to work as a firefighter in Northampton New Hampshire. We had 12 miles of I-95. The heavy rescue came down from Portsmouth. We could have used a crew like yours some nights. Now I drive a four-wheeler, and my part in wrecks is now to wait patiently while you do your work. I just completed a 7,050-mile road trip outvwest. We moved all but Sundays. For three weeks, we went out west and back, never once got held up in a wreck traffic jam. That is unusual these days.
