What I seen here is someone who has a lack of experience, in a rollback especially, and that is OKAY, he got the job done, and most importantly he didn’t cut corners in terms of his safety, and that’s what matters most here. I can mention 100+ ways he could have done it better, and much faster here, but that’s not the point, he overall got the job done with minimal damage to the vehicle, and made it home safely that night. The inexperience shows, but he knows his steps in terms of safety very well, and that is the most important thing for him to know. At this point in his career, experience will come in time. We learn things every day, as long as we keep our mind open to do so. Great job Ethan, you learned a lot and called out your bad ideas, you are doing a great job young man, keep up the safe work, you will do well.

A heartfelt, thank you. I wish others could see Ethan the way you do, rather than being so critical of him. Experience is learned and earned. As you said, he knows the basics and the safety factors. Now he needs to grow his confidence. Jobs like this are learning experiences. Life isn't easy. Jobs aren't easy. Relationships aren't easy. None of us are perfect. Perseverance, humility, and the ability to learn from our mistakes are all things that help us become better people. Again, a very heartfelt thank you. May God bless you and yours.

Well done. I too could see couple places where things could have been done somewhat differently but he's hasnt had a "ton" of experience yet. The car is on the bed, no damage and working against the bad road odds, Id give him a 9.999 out of 10.

That one took all of Ethan's ingenuity to get the job done. On one hand, one feels sorry for the lad, on t'other hand, 'it goes with the territory'!! Either way, the task was completed with no damage to #15, Ethan and no extra damage to the car. Well done Ethan!! Greetings from the UK. God bless.

Nothing wants to go on, or stay on #15 in this video. It's amazing how much easier it seems with the remote vs having to run back to the controls all the time - whether it be being able to steer or hold the brake or whatever. You can feel the frustration - good work sticking it through and not losing your cool and getting the job done Ethan.

Heh, around 5:42 or so, that's a genuine PRATTFALL, right there! Like father, like son. Ethan really is a chip off the ol' block, in so many ways. He doesn't just talk like his old man, or share some mannerisms, he even acts like Ron, right down to the classic Prattfall.

Love that Ethan’s friends can see what he does, and hopefully it helps with the awareness of the situations, especially when it’s conditions like this where there are blind spots. I know so many people who have no respect for first responders and any car sitting on the side of the roads. Thank you, Ron and Ethan for reminding us ALL how important it is to slow down and move over!

Ethan, your grit and determination impresses me!! Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong. Stuck in gear, steering locked etc . The terrain didn’t help either. But, you triumphed in the end. Well done sir!! At least it wasn’t raining or dark. If this had been a test, you would have passed with honours!! Your Dad trained you well. Best Wishes Roy W UK

On a different note: That is situation is exactly what skates where made for, when you need to go in a different direction than what the tires are pointed. I have a set of nylon but wood works as well. Put them under the tires and they slide as the name would imply. If you get a good set you can practically push the vehicle around by hand. They do make the ones with wheels on them, but I don't particularly like them and would rather not use them because in some situations they roll too easy if you know what I mean. Plus the wood or nylon wedges can be made easily in a home shop with a band saw or jig saw.

@timdouglass9831 6 ай бұрын

I know Ron's used skates before, and I thought of them on this one as well. I'm guessing that they are used rarely enough that Ethan just didn't think of them.

@davidsuperdavelarson6174 9 ай бұрын

I'm 70 Ron and still learning everyday about things. Yup made my fair share of mistakes along with doing something the hard more than once. But I as you sit back and learn from those endeavors and strive to not repeat ourselves. Where you have the advantage on me is you record most of your stuff and can take a look again at what you did and learn from it or see you did the right thing. Old Fire Chief told me once after a big fire that he would attack it the same way if he had to do it again unless in the meantime he learned a better way to do so. He pointed out it's always easier for the next guy to say you did it wrong but remember he wasn't there and had the privilege of looking at the situation for maybe a number of days and wasn't having to decide right this minute what to do. Claiming to be perfect is the biggest mistake one can make in their life and saying you never did make a mistake is the second one.@@RonPratt

Mr. Pratt, you have every right to do the OFFICIAL PROUD PAPA STRUT!!! Your "little boy" is becoming quite the epic recovery professional! In fact had he not spoken a single word, I'm not real sure that I would have known which of the two of you was actually doing this recovery! At the very beginning, I found myself listening real close to determine which of you was doing the recovery! Keep up the awesome work, and as always, please continue to be careful and safe. I pray often for our LORD'S protection and safe keeping over you and your entire team/family! Thank you for the always awesome content!!!!! God bless!!!!!!!

The “ Zips Side Puller Recovery Tool” which inserts and bolts into those mount holes in the end of the deck makes situations like these SO much easier! It’s my favorite tool for flatbed by far. You leave your deck all the way slid forwards and locked in which also saves the extra stress on your deck from trying to snatch block with an extended deck. The tool also creates a bit of up angle pull which helps to get it over the apex of embankments.

Ethan did a great job, took his time and kept adjusting to get on the rollback safely and no damage to the vehicle. I know it fought him and he won the best way to get the job done.😊

@dougvanausdal3162 8 ай бұрын

WOW . A hard fight for him to get it done , i like the idea he keeps his mine on safety for himself and his job. Its oddly enough lots of people will have different ideas how to do this, But until you walk in his place you don't know what is going in his mine. I think he did a great job and was not blocking the other lane , that in its salf makes it hard to do , this young man has come a long way in the business, hat's off to you.

Hopefully you'll have better luck with your 24 Western Star then we've had with our 23 & 24. My 23 has now been back to the dealership TEN TIMES since January 23. It currently has 6 warning lights on, just the norm I guess. Our 24 has had similar problems, mostly electrical connections and sensors. The PTO bracket has broke 3 times until we made our own, the driver's door wiring harness has been replaced in both trucks. Self leveling valve replaced twice. Currently abs/speed sensor is causing the dash light up.
