Look out for that.....TREE!!! Tator Team Daisy-Chain Recovery

[@terrynagle7410]

Super Ron to the rescue again. Good job getting this truck out of there. Just so you know Monster Energy is anti hydration

[@RonPratt]

Mike is the Energy drink guy. During jobs like this I steadily drink a mixture of Pedialyte/water and drink Body Armour hydration drinks as well as take potassium pills and munch on peanut butter crackers. EVEN with all of that, this job took me down. Mike had to drive the Rotator from the job-site to the shop and I went straight from the shop to the ER. I was having severe muscle cramps/spasms to the point of being incapacitated. They filled me with IV fluids and heavy muscle relaxers to ease the spasms. It was bad enough that one of the nurses passing by my room thought I was having seizures. It was MISERABLE!!! But, after a couple hours I was out of the hospital. Then I was on light duty for about a week. I've suffered from heat exhaustion in the past and I thought that I had stayed ahead of it this time, but, apparently my fluid and sugar intakes were too little too late. I knew when my hands started cramping what was coming and I starting downing the drinks and snacks in hopes to of replenishing quickly. Unfortunately, my reserves had already been depleted. I know first hand how bad heat exhaustion can be. That's why I'm constantly telling my guys to stay hydrated. Just goes to show you, even though I THOUGHT I was hydrated, I was not, and I have learned more from this experience so that hopefully I can prevent it from happening again. Just another hazard of my profession. Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@terrynagle7410]

Ron I was a medic in the army, so I know what you went through. I am so sorry to hear that you had that happen. I was the guy that yelled at the platoon to stay hydrated. God bless you sir and I hope you have a great day.

Lol, that was great.

I was thinking the same thing before the guy opened the door. 😂

[@borderreiver3288]

by heck that guard rail did not stop it ....what a mess....that was one difficult extraction with all three trucks needed to pull it out...well done to you and the crew for another great job done well and very professional....

[@DeanFWolff]

Another awesome job! You have some amazing equipment but even more you have an amazing team of guys working for you. People don't seem to have any clue about how much trouble these big rigs can get into and the damage that can happen when they wreck. Treat those big rigs with respect!

53:45 They misspelled grief. It certainly looks like it's causing some

[@watchgoose]

Greif (capital G) is a German surname. grief (small g) is an emotion. Two different things.

Is is actually a Business Name. it is pronounced w/a long I sound instead of a long E sound.

[@jeepguy220]

isn't it Greif bros packaging, a box company?

Never realized how deep guard rail post are buried into the ground.

[@LimerickWarrior1]

I can't believe how they are buried, In Ireland, crash Barriers are set in concrete.

Seems like it might be a good time to start running 2 ways for smoother comms

Hi Ron, We just saw this for the first time. Wow! You guys are the best! We weren't sure you were going to get that truck out of there, especially in one piece! Thanks for the update on the driver. In looking at other videos we saw where you had lost your dad recently. So sorry for that. God bless all of you and keep you safe. G & L, North Idaho

It is amazing how much physics and mechanical know how is involved in recovery. Young people today are at a disadvantage, if its not in a video game, they are lost. Ron, your awesome, and that is from a 18 year vet LEO ( full and part time, 78-96), with a parallel history of Paramedic(78 - present). I have been to many MVA's and the professionalism you and your crew show and the team work is second to none.

Hey mr. Pratt love watching your videos you guys are awesome. Glad I found you guys I’m a diesel tech and one day want to get into towing. Your a true inspiration you turn a mess into a relief! Stay safe ❤️

[@paulkdondero9662]

Towing and vehicle recovery are two very different things
