LIFE ON THE FOG LINE!!! TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT!!!

[@TimboWhite-w7b]

Good Morning There My Good Big Bro Ron Pratt Sir & I Am Still Praying For You & All Of You're Whole Family & All Of You're Whole Staff As Well & All Of The People Involved In The Automobile Accident

[@heatherkohlwey8379]

There were two emergency vehicles hit on the interstate in my area in less than a month. One resulted in serious injury. I pray for your safety and for all emergency responders who are out helping others. God bless you all.

[@bluvapors]

Got to keep your head on a swivel out there. I love your content and pray you continue to stay safe.

[@bobmoeder4907]

Most people don't realize how dangerous it is for tow truck operators out on the roadways. After almost 50 years on the road as a professional driver I still can't figure out what people won't move over. Be safe Ron.

[@CarolHowell-wv9cy]

May you and your family have a very merry Christmas and Happy new year. GOD IS ALWAYS WITH YOU ALL

[@tincans87]

There is not enough enforcement, trooper told me they can't be everywhere. Be safe out there Ron.

[@paulalaporte195]

It makes me want to look for that darn light bar 😂. Glad u found it.

[@EdwardSimpson159]

I wouldn't trade anything in the world, for my guardian angel devices. Definitely a great product. I highly recommend them for anybody in emergency services. When working near traffic and visibitity is a must, you need them. I purchased several sets, for all the towing units where I work now. Everybody loves them. And of course, I tell them about your channel, Ron. You can never learn enough about the towing industry.

[@ifradtarvez578]

Who else loves this channel?

[@Rags722]

Ron, I said this a long time ago. People do not care about you or your life. They DO CARE about their tires. You need a portable sign that you can set up that reads "BROKEN GLASS AND NAILS IN RIGHT LANE. MOVE OVER NOW!" 90% of your problems will be solved. Make a sign that says LEFT that you can put over RIGHT for when you are working near the fast lane and you get the other 10 %.

[@Jacksonboyeroutdoors]

I’ve said similar stuff, you need cones with spikes on the top or something, and a sign that says so, people will do anything to save their car

[@lucyalderman422]

Awesome idea

[@LilIzzy46]

That was a cruel thing to say to a man who risks his life daily helping people ‼️🤬YOU watch where you’re driving! Millions of people love and pray for him. RON, don’t let this comment bother you. God bless you! I hope you read this comment.❤️❤️🙏

[@chuckmoore1380]

Those worrisome words you hear all too often: "on the side of the interstate". Always a dangerous situation. Thank God for keeping everyone safe. Job well done under stressful conditions. Stay safe and healthy.

[@et4615]

My daughter's lost their dad to the interstate two years ago in a motorcycle accident on I-10. To top it off a DANGEROUS driver hit the pickup truck of an off duty officer who had stopped to help and the guy rolled his truck right onto the motorcycle 😓 People are I d I o t s.

[@imagseer]

Here in the UK they have made "smart" versions of our equivalent of your Interstates even worse. In certain areas where very busy they run the hard shoulders as real lanes controlled by Red X's and Arrow gantry signs. There are short breakdown bays every mile and half or so but there's no way you have enough length to match the traffic speed when rejoining the highway. You can phone National Highways to put a lane divert arrow flashing, but they hate putting a red X to actually close the lane. And even then there's no guarantee all the drivers will obey despite it being an offence with the red X lit up. Nobody cares enough about people working on recoveries.

[@PAULAThompson-j8x]

Be safe out there. Most people don't want to slow down and move over i can't stand people like that

[@ahauser2138]

When I was much younger one of my dad's biggest pet peeves was not putting his tools back where I found them. His other was not cleaning them off when finished. More than once I used is good claw hammer (carpenter) and left grease on it. Now, 50 years later when I finish a job in the garage I clean my tools and put them back where they belong. Thanks, Pops. He's been gone 26 years and I still miss him everyday.

[@TowMan127]

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!

[@susandallessandro5076]

I love how Oscar shows up and jumps into action. What a great employee he is. I love the beard too!

[@rodneyjeffery9726]

Nice job Ron

[@CarolHowell-wv9cy]

Please Lord be with Ron on this busy morning and everyone out there. Please protect them with the up coming weather

[@Brian75-ej5mn]

Awesome job and glad the recovery went smoothly

[@rp42069]

Good morning! Stay safe out there.

[@Samanthareneeheart1]

Im glad you found your light bar. It was frustrating, I know,not to have something you need where it's supposed to be.

[@johnthreefifteen]

I feel for you, a place for everything, and everything in its place.

[@robertmailhos8159]

You are right about people don't care about your safety they're are in a hurry to get where they are going

[@mikerobbins3692]

Good morning Ron And Ethan. Watching from Tennessee.

[@teaches2010]

Horrible accident on 94 in Michigan yesterday. Box truck slammed into a fire engine. Stay safe out there ron. Video on KZbin from the sherriff cruiser that got hit

[@larrybrowning]

Good morning Ron be safe out there though these Holidays you and your co-workers.

[@dennislamers986]

Ron your a very calm guy. Then to owning up to misplacing the light bar. Triangle lights are cool.

[@NachumRobbins]

Have a nice weekend.

[@matejšabec-y5d]

Great video!

[@royburgess4720]

I love what you are doing mat and I love you trucks

[@vickicosby7921]

Praying everyone stays safe. Merry Christmas to you and your family and your employees

Good morning from New Hampshire

[@martinbalmforth2665]

You can see why here in the UK, a lot of heavy wreckers are left hand drive

[@hamshackleton]

The mysterious teleporting light-bar!

[@klsc8510]

Ron, my thought on the light bar was it left on the last tow? I am glad it wasn't and was found in the shop!

[@PhilWolfe-tp3tv]

Ron , I hope your day is great.

[@Muksanim2012]

The game of "Dodge Cars" is dangerous. Glad you found out who the culprit was that misplaced that expensive light bar.Stay safe, warm, and happy. From Virginia.

[@seig-zag]

WOW This one is from a few days back short sleeves no snow LOL

[@sethwiedeman1799]

Ron being on a side of the road can be dangerous people should have comense to move over but they don't.keep safe and God bless.

[@bones3826]

I am a retired truck driver/heavy record driver. I know exactly how you feel about working on the fog line. It is terrifying.

[@et4615]

That 18 wheeler that zoomed by y'all in the right hand lane should be ASHAMED!!! If anyone should know better it should be him!! They ALL deserve a hefty fine!!!

[@timgouine9844]

To the Pratt family and crew Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. From Wisconsin

[@patrickhuebner38]

I hear from my brother way too often who is a state employee in another state and how people refuse to move over. And he has told me before if someone collides with the snow plow it's his call whether he keeps going to a safe location or whether he stops. But yes people just don't care, me first.

[@davidgates1122]

Casey LaDelle had his light bar fall off one day. A fan found it on the side of the road near their house and returned it to him.

[@jjc2988]

I know it is a silly thing but I must admit I miss hearing the Mater cell phone notifications in your videos. 😂

[@klsc8510]

I agree, "Thats funny!"

[@JudyBeeding]

Love how you grunt and groan, been there done that.

[@dennisgilbert125]

Yes First Saw This With Tow Truck Dusten of Texas . Now I See From Guardian Angel , They Have Lights That Go On Your Shoulder Mount White, Red and Blue Lights Very Cool.

[@jaredlyons3453]

One of my biggest fears working a call is being run over

[@robbiefrench4884]

Come on Ron. You need bigger lights than that!!!!!

[@JD-bv2ht]

😮 on the side of the highway looking for the light bar. Do you keep a log book on who was the driver of the rigs last. That's a little bit dangerous. Be safe Ron 🙏

[@Kevin_Actual]

“I make sure my truck has everything on it”…… Except the tow light bar🤣

[@RonPratt]

Yep....that's pretty much how I felt...LOL. It just proves that I'm human like everyone else. Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@llyodreeves4657]

All the best for Christmas to you all keep up your videos on KZbin God your videos on KZbin

[@charlesterviel5748]

Stay safe out there.. they don’t get over. Always watch your back.. you are always in our prayers ( first responders)🙏what do you think of you new triangles?🙏

[@glennb8397]

Where's traffic control pickup. Oscar!!!!!!!!

[@CraigGrant-sh3in]

I see the " professional" truck drivers not caring about fellow drivers or anyones safety. New York just passed a law that you move over for any vehicle on the side of the road.

[@CraigGrant-sh3in]

Embarrassing when you have to kick yourself. Lol

[@KnightRanger38]

There has been a "move over" law in effect in Missouri since 2006, with some later updates.

[@nathanlynch8262]

That’s the law in Missouri too, seems like it didn’t stop them.

[@rayives7758]

New Jersey expanded their Move Over law a couple of years ago to include pedestrians, bicycles, horses, etc.

[@rayives7758]

Definitely could have used #16 on this one.

[@LJT7907]

Unless it was already on another job

[@demonknight7965]

Light bar is probably on last vehicle to be towed

[@kevinkern4661]

Watched

[@corbettknowles9942]

You really need a remote for the underlift that way you don't have to be in traffic too operate it

[@samuelrussell6503]

Missouri needs a law Slow Down - Move Over or Ticket.

[@MGower4465]

Wish those e-triangles were bigger. People get tunnel vision.

[@charleslloyd4253]

I am a retired communication tower constructor. Our cost is high solely because of the danger. So is yours. Just ask your insurance agent.

[@JamesMillis-v3w]

You obviously have a rather good-sized operation, with quite a few vehicles and employees. How long have you been in business?

[@Embermist69]

I believe his dad started the business back in the 80s or early 90s and Ron has been doing those ever since. This is going off trying to remember information that Ron has mentioned over time in the videos.

[@firechaser21]

Ibhioe you can find you missing light bar

[@FUKKelowna]

Look, I am the first one to comment! Coolio. Hi Ron!

[@jonathanaarons6442]

Where did your light bar go off to Ron and just didn't walk off by itself?

[@KnightRanger38]

Check the very end of the video to solve that mystery.

[@shed66215]

Question for you Ron - I know that you are always wanting drivers to 'slow down, move over' but given the risks that are involved with working near a live road and inattentive drivers, why do you operate the under-reach from the drivers side of the truck - would it not be safer for yourself to use the one on the verge side or with the remote?

[@LegendaryRadioJock]

Please see my comment on last weeks video regarding the missing subtitles on your video. The subtitling system is not working because the audio quality is not high enough when filming from your truck cab.

[@jamescrutchfield9832]

Did you leave the light bar on the wrecked truck that went to salvage yard

[@joesamp8831]

Where did you get those triangles from

[@mrdino6391]

Why was the truck freaking out when u opened the door?

[@LEO-ln4ps]

Good morning. Please could you enable subtitles for foreign people? Thank you!!

[@60trickpa]

Am I wrong in thinking that truck had dual controls and a remote?

[@ewood88]

Slow Down...Move Over > > > >

[@CRISPYC6n]

Hi

[@ryanparshall9582]

What brand and strength pounds of retractable ratchet straps do you use

[@kensherwin4544]

The one he used to tie up the prop shaft is an Ericson with a 1" web.

[@noahsaatkamp5301]

Why are you putting that much work into plum air when it's a bobtail?

[@kensherwin4544]

He needed to hold the rear spring brake released so the rear wheels would roll. Either supply air or cage all the 4 rear brakes. Air was theoretically easier.

[@Eastboundndown80]

Probably out of cng

[@RonPratt]

My friend, translations are available for my videos. However, it take time for the translations to be applied. If you are watching one of my videos the day it is released, the translations will not be available. Normally, translations take 2-3 weeks before they are available for my videos. KZbin is working very hard to make certain translations are available. I ask for your patience, please. Thanks for watching and God bless.
