NUT Junction Recovery. Perseverance On An Uphill Battle.

[@alexanderlacy4005]

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.

[@RonPratt]

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.

[@frederickwise5238]

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.

[@guysabol8743]

agrree 100% with ROn.. tight shoulders one lane only.. but a good job..glad it were not smee!

[@TowingKW]

The only issue I seen was when the Tension on the cable creating a V he walked over the cable you always wanna stay out of that V cause if that cable snapped and your in that cables path it could do some serious damage

[@ccross1210]

#replaycrew Mad Luv N Respect As Always 🐺

[@philippenaluna2312]

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.

[@gerrydouce923]

I like how Ethan talks to himself while doing the work its good to hear what you guys are thinking...good job Ethan.

[@davidsuperdavelarson6174]

I talk to myself a lot in fact sometimes the best information I get comes from me.

[@RobertDavis-ck6qu]

Ethan I love your come back when the officer ask you for your DOB 😂😂😂

[@2olvets443]

Policies need to be change where it doesn’t make it as if the innocents are treated like criminals. All they really needed was Midwest did the tow.

[@RedneckCowboyFeller]

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.

[@awstott]

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.

[@Thomas-bu6wf]

Good job Ethan! I have rolled up on several and by the looks of them they look fairly simple but they end up being everything but simple. Thinking outside the box has saved me more than once.

[@jafo9346]

At five minutes in my wife declares, " It's Ethan!" You sound just like your old man. Great job sir. Keep those videos coming!

[@teaches2010]

Ethan you sound just like your dad❤❤

[@tedfisk1211]

Ethan has a bit of a drawl in his voice, but they do sound similar

[@jamesparcell8556]

I was going to say the same

[@vanblue7317]

Like father, like son.

[@Premiumclipz24]

Wait min that's Ethan thought was Ron with a cold lmaooooo

[@amyh226]

I knew he does I was watching another video of there and thought it Ron talking but I realize it was Ethan

[@AndrewHaverson]

Another masterful job from Ethan Pratt 👏👏 That car sure put up a fight, but you fought back stronger (and, more importantly, smarter) May God bless and keep the Midwest family safe.

[@jrw41069]

Ethan, you rock brother. U fought the good fight and won. Great job.

[@HAVOC_26]

Like Father like Son. Always finds a way to get the job done, and done safely. Well done Ethan.

[@scottb02]

Ethan is one smart cookie! It's good to see Ethan doing pulls and getting some video time! You have brought him up well Ron. He's very smart and very intuitive. Very well-done Ethan!

[@maryannanderson2213]

I've been a subscriber for several years and I never get tired of watching you make these runs. This particular one gave Ethan a bit of trouble but I enjoyed watching him try different approaches until he finally got the job done. Good work, Ethan.

[@christepherbatts3446]

Good Job Ethan..

[@patleclerc7227]

That was an epic battle and at the end Ethan got it done. Good job!

[@SeanLynchXY]

Thanks Ron!

[@charlesterviel5748]

He did a good job and kept at it.. watching grandpa and his dad he learned a lot 🙏😊

[@adairwilkinson6916]

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

[@74willy81]

Not an easy day when all of the cards aren't in your favor but good lessons never come easy. None of us are born with this knowledge we pick up on it daily, it's what helps us grow and it accumulates into wisdom. Excellent job!

[@bugsbunny1895]

“Am I going to jail or something”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@marymassey4994]

Enjoyed the video. And yes, Ethan gave us a bit of a chuckle, but he worked thru it.😊

[@davidwayne9982]

I've done several of these--- in the desert and mountains.. always enjoyed recovery work...

[@13thcolony57]

Yep, Ethan is learning to do it on his own. I sat here scratching my head trying to figure out how to do it. Outstanding job Ethan and keep on keeping on. STAY SAFE OUT THERE.

[@southaussiegarbo2054]

😂 ethans helarious.

[@danswartwood4580]

Yes, perseverance pays off thank you for sharing

[@rayh21]

Good morning Ron & Ethan...! Have a safe day & God Bless...!

[@erichayes9192]

Ethan I still remember the video of you digging out a trailer tires when you were about 13 on a call with your dad!

[@danimal0921]

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!!!!!!!

[@Random_Ritchie]

Every time words came up on the screen, I read it in Ron's voice in my head. LOL Stay safe Ron and crew. Thank you for what you guys do.

[@dougvanausdal3162]

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.

[@mikecullers]

I know those kinds of days all too well. Great job Ethan!

[@richardl4556]

Sometimes it is amazing how a little thing like the steering being turned just a little bit and locked can add so much difficulty. Good job working through it.

[@edwardjohnson2677]

You always get to 10,many thanks for the videos God bless you and yours stay safe cant wait to see your next call

[@albertclifford7787]

It just started driving to a truck that was amazing inspirational video that helped me learned a lot thank you

[@coloradotex9403]

Great job, Ethan, and you do seem just so much like your dad

[@RandyPanco]

That was a great recovery and learning experience

[@micblue4739]

Ethan you always rise to whatever challenge is given to you that's one of the things I love about your videos. Make sure that the tow vehicle has a bowl of Wheaties the next time before it leaves the shop

[@Dadsredvampire]

Ethan i could feel the frustration all the way in ohio. Great job, great video

[@gregulrey1821]

I might also add that you're catching on and doing a really good job and listening 2 your Dad as well keep up the good work

[@emylrmm]

down to earth hard work!

[@cathymaynard2013]

A lot of work but you got it done, that's what counts and nobody got hurt good job Ethan.Stay safe and blessed 🙏♥️

[@rigo7595]

I watching your videos and I have my bells on your videos and I'm subscribed to your videos and 😯👍💯🤜🤛🤘🤙🙌👏👊🔥

[@richardsteinick6991]

Good job. The camera doesn't show how slick that hillside is, nor the bugs. The screwed up stearing fought you too. I see a lot of Ron in you, and thats good. All in all, B for job completed and A+ for safety.

[@stevenclaeys6252]

Thank you for another great video. Stay safe out there. Cheers

[@alexisdiane5108]

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!

[@gregmorley1997]

Well done Ethan, you won in the end sometimes you've just got to work through the crappy problems, consider it a learning experience

[@tonyclare7011]

WELL DONE SIR , proud papa you should have 👍👍👍

[@marvinrathke3640]

Well done EthanI At one point I would have seriously thought about running away from that darn car.

[@shanellstrehlow7110]

Wonderful job Ethan.

[@frelnc]

This was Ethan working alone? I think he did a great job. I could see him figuring each move as he went. Very impressive. Love how you were talking to yourself here and there. Job well done.

[@chrissalmeron2262]

I have never done it that way before but you still got that job done buddy good 👍🏽 I toughT once you had it lifted a bit you would have put your jhooks under back axles and done it that way but learning all this tow stuff is fun and we ll do it our own way whatever gets that job done safe and off we all go home like the videos keep them coming team

[@susanowens6393]

That was another great job.

[@chrissalmeron2262]

I like how you guys are allowed in your state to have blue red light makes a huge difference and help you guys stay extra safe as ppl think your police from far away I wish we could do that in Canada would keep us a lot safer at the end of the day

[@HalfPint5811]

Ethan has wayyyyy more patience than i do!!! 😂 great recovery Man 💪

[@yafois988]

This country side roads low traffic , open fields etc is so wonderful. This is why I wanna move over that direct . Quiet clean country.

[@hardies1]

Good job Ethan! That was a tough one but you kept at it and successfully got that car loaded onto your truck.

[@Torenhire]

It's weirdly universal that the "small jobs" are always the ones that seem to come with the most headache. I work in a totally different industry and it gets me constantly too! Well done Ethan!

[@trevormason6717]

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.

[@leegoldeneagle9003]

Wow I am not going 😢 you can't make me you got him Ron 👍👍👍👍👍😊

[@fastst1]

Good job Ethan, learning more with each next recovery!

[@dcrelief]

Truly a NUT job. when the video started I thought: geez, Ron must have a cold. A little more talking and I knew it was Ethan. Good for you, Eth...

[@markb.1259]

Great job Ethan!! That was a very hard simple recovery!! 🙂

[@maudwelford7919]

An awkward one, well done Ethan, God bless 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇮🇱🙏🤪🇬🇧

[@johngookinsable]

love all that your team does but i just couldnt watch this one. Many ways to get to 10. to each his own keep up the good work ethan. were all very proud of you!

[@bugsbunny1895]

Awesome video thanks for sharing

[@beckydayedgar1764]

Ron and Ethan are very good jobs alots. I am so proud both of you...just be friends 😊

[@donniesnyder7752]

God bless all you your family and all your tow truck drivers

[@doozerakapuckfutin]

Might have put up a fight but perseverance will always come true . Way to go Ethan 🎉

[@harryscott9533]

awesome performance , watching in ohio

[@dansummers2965]

Aww man, that looked all kinds of frustrating. Triumph of Perseverance - it's neither quick nor flashy, but at the end of the day the wreck's on the rollback and everybody comes home.

[@АлексейРукутинов]

As it turned out, despite the lightness, hard work, Ron

[@lloydreeves715]

Keep up with the good work Ron love watching you on KZbin god bless

[@jrw41069]

That was not Ron in the video, that was Ethan

[@amyh226]

@lloydreeves715 that not Ron it’s Ethan he sound like his Dad

[@nonaloeffler308]

LOL, I thought it was your dad until I saw your wrist. You did a great job. I like how you ask am I going to jail or something. He never asks your dad.

[@PetrolJunkie]

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]

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.

[@MORRISDeFREESE]

ETHAN YOUR DOING A GREAT JOB

[@sethwiedeman1799]

Ethan it looks like the vehicle didn't want to cooperate but you got it put on the trailer very good job. Keep safe and God bless 👍👍👍

[@Grandpa82675]

That one gave you a battle but you did it Ron "CONGRATS "

[@stevespriggs3543]

What an absolute Dog,personally I wouldn't of started recovery without owner bringing keys,well done

[@duanecundy]

Keys aren't always available. Sometimes gotta work with what you get.

[@norman8269]

That was a rough one Ethan but you whipped it, good job buddy

[@timgoodreau940]

Y’all do great work!!

[@RobKirk82]

Great job as usual, doesn't matter which Pratt it is. Threw me for a loop at first.. was wondering why Ron was taller all of the sudden! Ron has done this sort of thing many times before, got me thinking that even if Ron was there, Ethan still would've done the same thing!

[@jonathanbrantley8406]

Great job Ethan!! Nice comeback to the Officer on the D.O.B. 😂 I see so much of your DAD in you from your voice to your actions doing the job you are learning everyday more things every time you go out on a call and applying those skills to the job you will get more experience as you go through life every day but the main thing is you are learning new things the best way that you can possibly learn it and by the best teacher and that is O.J.T. the best way to learn it is by doing it. Keep up the good work Ethan!! Ron might want to consider having rechargeable batteries for the remotes and a charger with spare battery charged in the cab to swap out quickly when the battery dies or regular replacement batteries to swap out with or check and see if maybe they have gotten wise and made a replacement rechargeable remote for that model yet because dying remotes not working when you need them to is the pitt's hope you can come up with a solution to that problem to end it. And yes you've done a wonderful job teaching Ethan the ropes of the job and his family values show too. As time goes on he'll get the experience he needs and other skills too. And then like you he will be able to take over for his DAD like you did for your DAD and settle in to the command chair at the Company.

[@RonPratt]

We all still have a lot to learn and things are ever changing. I am proud of him and when he puts his mind to it, there are no limits to what he can accomplish. He has become a solid operator and a great teacher as well. Thanks for the advice too. We always appreciate suggestions on how to work more efficiently. Thank you for watching and God bless

[@jonathanbrantley8406]

​@@RonPrattsorry Ron you got me there yes I failed to mention Ethan has become a Great teacher too! He takes after you and ask the one's with him " how would you do it?" To get their ideas and explain the pros and cons like you do man how time has flown by I still can see Ethan as a little boy sitting in the rollback when Trooper Travis Shelton took off after the guy who didn't Slow down and Move over and now he's on his own out there and teaching others. God Bless you and your family and work families too and be careful for the idiots out there I know you can't call them that on video but don't worry the people who have common sense can read through the lines and understand!

[@PrincessUndertaker]

Good Job Ethan! Your Father will be Proud of ya!

[@stevensmith1278]

That was a difficult pick but at the end of the day you got it out. I can just imagine the things going throw ur head most definitely your dads voices telling dont give up.

[@rickeyratliff1356]

Great job there Ethan.

[@victorjeffers1993]

Simple jobs always turns out to be a pain at least when you think it's going to be simple ! Or it does when I go to do something simple ! Ethan I would have put my cones down even though you had police slowing traffic down ! Just as a safety precaution ! But you did a great job ! As always stay safe and God Bless you and your family !

[@jamiebowman9077]

Nice job Ethan lv ur handy pocket tool box my pocket were the first thing to develope holes

[@Bespokelasers]

Ethan, has become a true tow operator. He took his girl on a tow job. Your dad would be proud Ron.

[@fredharrowven1040]

Yes a job well done and yes he do sound like his dad I thought that was him to start with. ⭐️👍

[@scottalexander2400]

Great job Eathon

[@williambrown3597]

Man brother that one was throwing punches at you the whole time, but you did a Rocky and put her down for the count,great job!!!

[@mikeyswaar8343]

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.😊

[@jakepekarik7772]

When the going gets tough, the tough get going, Good job Ethan, your a chip off the old block.😄👍💥

[@DavidDishman-y2o]

U did a great job Ethan keep it up

[@davidsuperdavelarson6174]

Ethan isn't Ron anymore than Ron is Ethan. Remember ladies and gentleman once upon a time you started out green and learning how to do it all.

[@RonPratt]

Thank you for making this point. It took me YEARS to learn all the things you see on the channel and I still make mistakes every day. The day we stop learning is the day we take our last breath. Thank you for your continued friendship Dave, your kindness, for watching and may God bless you.

[@davidsuperdavelarson6174]

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

[@harveywaitchison2062]

“Many ways to get to 10”, said a wise person many times. 👍🇨🇦

[@joeb1442]

At first I was like what is going on with Ron??😂. Then I realized it was Ethan. He's a baby in this industry and hopefully he understands that he has one of the best ever to learn from?. Much love 😇

[@glyngosnell]

Bratt your doing a great job lol

[@jacquejecker4435]

For a while I didn't realize it was Ethan and I was thinking, "Ron, you seem a little off your game today." Then I realized it wasnt Ron so that is where the experience difference came in. OK, what I was seeing was the difference of expertece that comes with years of experience. Yes, great job Ethan. Perseverance...

[@brucewelty7684]

I thought I was the only one that had weird crap happens all the time on a job! The sliding tool is so ME!
