Ron Has To Call A Wrecker!!! 1 Truck, 2 Trucks, 3 Trucks, STUCK!!!

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching. OK, so this, again, is a little different. We all make mistakes and I'm not immune. I take our rollback (tilt tray) unit #15, our Peterbilt 337 with a Miller Industries Century LCG12 to recover not one, but two trucks that are stuck at the bottom of a slick, muddy hill. One truck got stuck, then the other truck got stuck trying to get the first truck out. Guess who else gets stuck...ME!!! I have to call Mike to come rescue me. Also, it starts pouring rain while we are working. Typical Murphy!! Just gotta keep saying "I love my job". Oh well, again, it is what it is. Make the best of it, learn from it, and move forward.
I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!
This is a revision of a revision of the new intro. I've extended the duration of the channel's "theme" music and reduced the volume of the siren. Hopefully this revision will be well-received. Thanks again and God bless.

Not bad recovery but with a rollback you never get stuck Al you had to do is push yourself out with the deck

[@RonPratt]

Tried it....didn't work. Just pushed into the mud. Even placed wood blocks under the lift to help and they just pushed into the ground. I did attempt self-recovery before calling Mike. I didn't show that in the video, because I don't like using that method and I didn't want people to think that it was an acceptable method, because, according to the manufacturer, it is not. I was unsuccessful. Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@JohnHallgren]

@@RonPratt you might want to add this reply text to the Description so it might possibly be seen by more people. Since I am seeing multiple posts with this same suggestion.

[@RonPratt]

@@JohnHallgren Pinned as suggested. Good suggestion too. Thanks and God bless.

[@JohnHallgren]

@@RonPratt you’re certainly most welcome! And it also explains why the lift bar was SO dirty at end of video, which you did show. Guess people didn’t notice that detail?

[@RonPratt]

@@JohnHallgren They probably didn't. They also probably didn't notice all the wood we had placed under and around the tires to try to get myself free. Oh well. Some people just have to give their 2 cents worth.....

Ron I know the camera is not doing any justice on how steep the hill is. I drove wrecker for many years from a 1 ton up to 30 ton and loved doing recoveries but when your done and everyone is happy, you still have to put all the extra rigging away.

17:38 The "greatest rigging job" is explicitly defined as the following criteria: 1) Nobody gets hurt. 2) No equipment or vehicles get damaged. 3) No new stuff has to get bought. 4) Everything ends up where its supposed to be. 5) You get paid on time. Looks like this qualifies.

[@Rags722]

As soon as I saw you put the J-hooks on the front of 15, I said "Hey, that one's backwards". But you caught it. How the heck you coil that extra length of cable without it becoming a tangled mess is a marvel. Ron, I'm old enough to be your dad, and since he's not around to tell you, please let me give you some advice. You are breathing hard on some of these videos.... too hard. For the sake of your family, hire a $15.00 an hour kid to learn the trade and do all the lugging for you. Win Win for everyone!

[@artfisher3933]

Great advice...listen to the man.

@Rags722 I do have a couple of those young-ins'. I wasn't expecting this job to turn into what it did or I would have brought one along...LOL. The customers were good help too, though.

Ron, big respect for showing this video. Not everybody shows the things that don't go as they want or planned.

[@vaughnhill3437]

Well this is the perfect time to re-spool your cable on the rollback Ron

[@HappilyHomicidalHooligan]

Except for the fact that he'd be doing it out in the cold rain and can't take his attention off the vehicles he's recovering to inspect the cable as it's spooling up...

[@gorillaau]

Ron tends to do the respool once he gets back to base. No point doing that in front of the customers.

[@Motoman714.]

Love how Ron allows people to give a hand when they ask if they may, helps save some time with clean up and the recovery process! Great work Ron!

[@roboftherock]

Well, all I can say is when it rains there, IT RAINS!

[@benjaminspencer6507]

I know you have a lot of experience and your dad did also, but. I got stuck like this in a rollback. I had only used it about 3 times, always drove a small wrecker. Well, I called dispatch and an older driver came out in a wrecker. He simple got out and used the bed of the rollback to walk it out of the mud!! I never forgot that! That was about 30 years ago.

[@tncountryboy06]

he tried to do that.. bed sank in the mud

A Ford, pulling a Peterbilt, that's pulling a GMC, that's pulling a Dodge. With all that going on, everyone forgot about the trailer that's still at the bottom of the hill...which is what the guys were TRYING to pull in the first place lol! As always, be safe and God bless you, your crew and your equipment!

[@tncountryboy06]

tune in next week when ron goes and pulls out the trailer that caused the whole mess lol... nah probably not

[@handymansteve]

they needed go drag the trailer over and hitch it up, then drag the dodge up to where it could hook to the gmc with the trailer behind it...... those rollbacks have major pulling power.... ron just needed to park on the gravel 5 ft to the side.... wouldn't change the angle of pull much for that length of line

A little BenGay wouldn't hurt either ! 😀😃

[@kyls73]

Hope he had time for both before the next call!

[@jaratt85]

You might try spray painting the last few wraps of the cable a different color (maybe dayglo orange or high vis yellow?) so that you can quickly tell at a glance that you're where you need to stop... sort of like using gradated line when fishing that changes colors every so often to let you know how much you have out. Anytime you do any sort of anything that has mechanical stuff with it, you should have a leatherman tool or gerber on your belt. Seems like it should've been a job for the Western Star. And the Chevy took off with your green strap still on his bumper..

[@fredrupp8479]

In the military when one recovery asset calls another recovery asset, due to first asset getting stuck, that requires the first asset to buy the second asset a case of their drink of choice.

Been there and done that it's no fun. Try using the wheel lift and blocks to get the rear wheel off the ground and under some wood. U can also extend the lift and push it forward that way once back wheels are off the ground

[@RonPratt]

Tried....unfortunately it didn't work. I just didn't show it in the video. If you look closely towards the end of the video, you can see where I attempted and just dug into the ground. You can also see the wood we attempted to get under the tires. Thanks for watching and God bless.

@@tncountryboy06 communication with the customer and asking them “what’s fair” goes a long way. Especially when the customer sees what you had to do to complete the job. Given the chance to make their own decision, most customers are fair and honest. When a job goes outside the “normal scope” I quite often tell the customer to pay what you think is fair, and it’s rare that I go away disappointed.
