OH SHIFT!!! VERSION 2.0!!! ROLLOVER LOAD OF PIPE!!!

[@RonPratt]

There have already been a lot of comments stating that we should have cut the pipe loose. We did consider that as a first option. The problem with that option was the amount of stored energy is the heavily twisted trailer. Even if restrained, it would have been dangerous for personnel to cut the straps & chains, because they would have had to be, more than likely, standing on top of the trailer. We did not want to take that risk.....period. Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@RonPratt]

@@thorn8988 That's exactly why we chose NOT to cut the straps. Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@mikemay1922]

Thank You Sir for keepin it SAFE the beginning of the vid thought it would be easier cutting free the load but watching how you orchestrated your team got th job done! you are a well built team speaking from someone in the industry for 28 years I dream of having a team like yours Thank You!👍👍

[@coypatton3160]

To cut the pipes loose safely, the load/trailer would have had to be lifted at least 1/3 to 1/2 of the distance to set it back on the wheels. Then it would have had to be sat down, the pipes released (remember at this point Ron has 2 winch lines on the load) which is not simple at this stage. Then re-rig to right the trailer. Now he has a full load of pipes to reload.

It amazes me that a job so difficult can be conquered by these big machines, maneuvers made by the people and the teamwork and communication of everyone.

With all the communication and team work y’all had was probably the biggest help for the situation. You all are awesome!

I had a comment, only before I could type it out, I reminded myself, as I just parked my tow truck, took off my wet jacket and was ready to point out a detail, i reminded myself that its easy to sit in the warm room and say i would have done it this way or say why did you do this, congratulation to Ron and his crew for having good results, ignore all the critical comments cause you and i know that the load will behave or it will misbehave and you did what had to be done and nobody got hurt and no one died , Well Done!

[@katiebartels8754]

This has easily become my favorite video. Not for the length of the video. Not for the level of difficulty of the job. Not even for seeing the tator working hard. But rather for seeing 3 generations working together. I spent from August 2007 until October 2019 working side by side with my dad every day on our dairy farm. Now that I sold the cows and took an off farm job we don't get to spend as much time together as we both would like but those memories will last forever and new memories are to be made. But seeing you, your dad, Talon and Ethan all working together on a job just makes me smile and take a trip down memory lane. Working with family can sometimes be difficult but in the end it's always worth it. Thank you for putting a smile on this recovering dairy farmers face!

As always you did a great job. Those "things" are pipe pins. He had his trailer rigged totally wrong. In the oil field we put a quart inch by 6" flat bar all the way across the bed of the trailer. It is welded to the trailer on both sides. (One on each end of course). At the end is a pocket for a heavy pipe 5 feet tall. ( the bottom of the pocket has a support bar or angle welded to it and back to the frame of the trailer. )The reason for the flat bar across the bed is it ties the two sides together and prevents spreading. Those little pipe pins placed in the pockets of the rub rail will twist and break those little pockets Ron. You had a right to be tense and if you knew what I knew about hauling pipe you would have been supper tense relying on those pockets in the rub rails to hold that weight -- PLUS the tension you were placing on them by moving the pipe under stress against them. Pipe is indeed one of the most dangerous of solid loads to mess with. Had my right leg crushed by huge dredge pipe in the mouth of the Mississippi River back in 75'. God bless you and your family. I sure would like to meet you and your "crew".

[@tomctutor]

Loaded flat-beams lying on top of each other have surfaces and lots of friction; but circular pipe sections only have a single point of contact so not any friction, so they will roll around first chance they get. What probably happened here is that taking the bend caused the pipes to roll around each other. Once that started the load got out of static balance and the rest, well...Ron and his trator!

taking that corner fast sure did save that driver a bunch of time......

[@amfwelsh]

CHRIS HARTMANN yup I see so many Idiots do this. I’ve never lost a load in 20 years trucking . Slow and steady when cornering

[@jfbeam]

The load shifting could've put it over as well.

[@The_blindpizzaguy1300]

CHRIS HARTMANN got that right brother hahaha.

[@Ddabig40mac]

Woulda taken an awful lot to make the load shift like that on the straight.

[@sniperace765]

My dad said the load shifted on him when he took the turn and it slammed his cab down once the trailer flipped.

Just found your site. Awesome job getting it done fast, right, with consideration of the cops and traffic. As a former officer I always appreciated wrecker drivers and how well they did their job. God bless.

Watching all of this makes me feel really young again. I have always been interested in this kind of stuff

[@garyc.8488]

Ron, Watched many of the channel and enjoying the real world teamwork, equipment and your skills. That was a mess but it made it in you crews hands and Tator's strength. And I assure you I'm taking a new respect for your occupations danger and respect the lights and move over. And I hope correctly hooking the safety chains on my camper like you show on your hooking. Gary

At 18:00 I thought Ron was going to stick his head in the pipe and say,HELLO...HELLO...HELLO! LOL!

[@valerieott1700]

Raymond works in dangerous situations trusting you to keep bad things from happening! He is an intense person who wants have found respond to complaints and assurance! You are blessed to have Taylon by now I would expect you to be calling him son! Mike, Raymond and Taylon very valuable to Midwest Trucks! I marvel at the high standards, expertise and grateful attitude you show to your crew!

Ketchup and mustard fit well with “Tators”! Good job and God bless!! Great to see Ethan learning the ‘ropes’!!

[@modacare4546]

I love them french fried taters....ummm hmmm

[@paulfunk331]

I am impressed by your skill and patience to complete the job safely. I am an engineer, certified crane operator and inspector, certified welder. I know all the book stuff and can puke it up for a test. The reality all that knowledge is worthless against a man with you skill operating a piece of equipment and controlling a ton of indescribable physics to gently set a wreck down on its feet. You deserve a ton of respect for what you do and the fact you are not afraid to comment about a bit of prayer at times. God Bless Brother in Christ.

[@tomklink6016]

Great job you did the right thing as to not cut the pipe loose God Bless Thanks for all you do

[@markrose9644]

That was amazing, Ethan is going to be a great member of the team!

[@christinastrickler9293]

Congratulations gang ! ! That was a very interesting video to watch! ! I would have a panic attack if I would have watched it unfold live ! ! Wonderful that no one or any of your equipment was damaged in this video! ! But I kept thinking when it came up on its tires, it was going to hit the rotator! ! But you are the man who KNOWS HOW HIS EQUIPMENT WORKS AND WHAT IT CAN DO IN TIGHT SPACES ! !

[@777woodworks]

Should of have yelled "HELLO" down the pipe...

[@JackMacLupus]

Haha, was thinking the same thing! Just with the "Heyo!" from Steve from Borderlands. XD

[@2H80vids]

Someone else thinks like me.👍 Could have scared the **** out of someone at the other end though.😬
