I'm 69 and love watching Ron's videos.he is such a professional.

[@PeterM_K]

I like how you let Mike decide how he wants to handle his part and just give him suggestions. You are not like a boss that just takes over and bosses other people around. It is a quality many bosses lack.

[@doristhomson3082]

I am 72 yr old lady and I never thought I would ever enjoy wrecker rescue shows, but I absolutely love this one. Very interesting and sometimes funny. Good job.

[@drmpilot365]

Yes, maybe they could have there own show on Discovery or something.

[@vickiphillips2687]

I'm 70 also and I absolutely love watching Ron and his crew. Glad to know there's another lady who enjoys the same.

[@teenamccarty9018]

Ron has been training Mike and he is a good worker

[@edanddorapattison6512]

While I'm shut-in it sure is nice to ride along with you. I appreciate your videos, because it seems I am right there with you, and in memory takes me back to my younger days when I had as much zeal and pep as you do. I'll turn 83 this summer, and you sure help me pass my time. May God ride with you and keep you safe. I have a trucker son. It takes a lot of prayers for all of you guys. God bless you all! Ed

[@larrywilliams8010]

And a big Thank You to you and Mike for serving the community like you. I consider you guys the second responders, you deserve just as much thanks as first responders.

[@chiefkalpana]

Thank you Ron for your faith and for your understanding of other belief systems. You are the cool example of Christianity.

[@larrywilliams8010]

Big thank you to all the drivers that puled ovr and gave you room to work

Ron hit the lottery with that job. No power wires to contend with.

[@mankkay]

I loved your wave at the end. It's nice to see your face once in awhile. :) I always enjoy watching your videos, and admire the relationship you have with your other drivers.

[@sexmoochogranday]

Show me a man retrieving a car from a storm runoff in a pasture, on the side of a busy highway and I'll show you a man OUTSTANDING in the field! Awesome work brother man! May the Lord keep a hedge of protection around you and your crew when you're on the job cleaning up the carnage! Psalm 91

[@David-mo4st]

I love it!!!!!

[@tombarker3608]

Another successful service call. Wow I never thought you could get the rotator off of its wheels. Thank you for the video Mr Pratt.

[@genkatqltr8517]

Another tricky one, another success for Ron and Mike! 👍👍👏

[@brian12171]

Ron, you are pretty quick on your feet. Running up to move the rotator so Mike could pull farther forward. I didn’t see you guys put out any cones or flashing flares. I’m glad that all those people at least moved over (but they should have also slowed down). The wave at the camera , at the end, made me laugh. Have had a bad couple days before watching you video. It felt good to laugh. Always look forward to you videos. Stay safe, and god bless.

[@scottrule3456]

Ron, just watched a video you and your wonderful wife made in the church many years ago. Congrats my friend, I know the journey was long and hard but it made a great man and family out of it. God bless you and your family.

[@chrispancoast9767]

a perfect example to never underestimate a wreck Ron. Great work as always. May all your 'fishing trips' be fun,

[@RichManSCTV0]

I enjoy how you had your head on a swivel the whole time, it got really hairy around 37:45 trying to get the car with the busted rear axle up and over the lip of the pavement. I like the handheld slow sign you had there. It really helped getting people to move over

[@keithsouter4298]

I don't have a truck licence only had a light truck licence while in the RAAF (Australia) currently just car and open motor cycle licences - love biking. I was watching other videos on this site when I came upon your videos and got hooked. I am amazed with your clips of your awesome truck and all the technology. I am gobsmacked with all the things you are able to do. Thank you so much for sharing. My prayers and positive vibes are sent to you and crew and to all the other services who do an amazing job protecting and helping communities all over the world. Blessings , Keith on Sunshine Coast Queensland

[@deelangley9738]

Way back as a child I have always loved to watch big machinery work. Watching this big "Tator" truck deploy and work just fascinates me, a 65 year old woman. Thank you for sharing your videos, knowledge and experience with us.

Really nice ending Ron!😁 God bless you and your team ! Greetings from Argentina!

[@2H80vids]

This us quite possibly the first job I've seen you do WITHOUT any visible utility wires dangling over you head. Turned into a tricky one though, especially right at the end - I thought that door was going to get hit for sure. Take care out there. All the Best, Dougie.

No arch nemesis to day then Ron . Best wishes and a speedy recovery to the driver.

Hi Ron you and Mike do do a VERY good job together

[@claudebeaudoin519]

Sad story that you might as well be holding a corn broom rather than a traffic sign. Glad that you all didn't get hurt. God bless all the men and women coming to our rescue.

[@shadesofidaho]

How do you know you have been watching too much Ron Pratt. When weeding on slight slope I start to tip over and my first thought is put your outriggers= right and left arm, down girl. I so enjoy these videos. I was born in KCMO yet never lived there but one month due to adoption. Enjoy seeing the country side. My half brother is in Springfield. Thanks Ron and crew and Stay Safe. You all are a gift to humanity. Wish more were as kind and caring as all of you.

[@amcintosh27]

thank you for your videos. just lost my father 8-23-19 and while he didn't have your toys, getting to ride and help him hook were great memories.

good team work on a very busy road, well done.

Once again wake up and coffee with Ron😊. It doesn’t get any better than that.

[@gorillaau]

I'm at the other end of the day. Bed time, but video from Ron first.

[@robertbowling8393]

Greetings, and Blessings from Ohio ..... To Ron and Mike, Very well done in every respect. This indeed was a different challenge. Kudos to you both. I can't believe the force of the drainage current! You both are wise in the cautions taken while working right on top of it. The current below, and relentless traffic of the Interstate!! Once again, experience, caution and hard work got the job done professionally. Thankful that the driver got away with only injuries. That was a solid hit. Again, thanks and Blessings to Ron, Mike and the entire Midwest family. Blessings to your many subscribers nd viewers as well.

[@shadesofidaho]

Really me too . Love it. Only person on youtube I love is mokpot for coffee drinking. He does scuba, finding treasures and picking trash.HA Depends on the kind of day I want. Relaxed or get up and go. Ron and crew are amazing. So much courage.

[@jmccracken491]

Ron, you have some good people working for you. And that makes things a lot better.

[@SB-000]

Wow that was a hairy one. I sure hope the driver recovers well. I like seeing the car brought into the shop and dropped.

[@chrisconrod9560]

That was scary! Sometimes the simple looking jobs are the hardest.

The gentleman with the stop sign is soooo helpful. I'd love to work with him. TEAMWORK BABY

I believe that IS Ron the owner/operator out there trying to protect his employee. God bless him.

[@markreetz1001]

Ron, you're dealing with a dangerous cocktail: Mercury on the rocks.

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

This shows the importance of keeping good tires on your vehicles or stay off the roads when they're wet or icy.

[@HappilyHomicidalHooligan]

Not to mention when it's icy/snowing/raining SLOW THE FRAK DOWN AND STOP DRIVING LIKE A BRAIN-DEAD OVER-TESTOSTERONED TEENAGER!!!

[@benjaminacosta2582]

I agree! 100%

[@DJJezabella]

Another stellar recovery, Ron and Mike. Golly gosh, but that Mercury got itself into a toxic situation. It doesn't take much running water to sweep a car away. From the way that car was clinging to the rocks, I would have to say it was Romancing The Stone; which might be the only reason it stayed where it landed, and wasn't swept away. I was biting my nails when you and Mike were close to the torrent, afraid that you might slip on the wet vegetation and fall in. Glad you stayed safe. Had another nail biting moment when Mike had the car on the interstate, and you had to hot foot it up to Tator to move and give him room. Also very pleased to read in the comments that the driver recovered from his injuries.

[@tomjohntig]

Another good job Good to watch professionals at work. Stay safe and God bless

Great video. that was a hard one, and don't forget the strap that is holding the drivers door shut.

Nice to see the majority of drivers did 'move over', the message must be getting through😀. Whoopsie on the not pulling enough gap though 😉

Hey Ron... Did a great job Appling safety to your crew and you do have great big heart for people... Glad the driver wasn't hurt severely.... Thank you. Enjoy your videos.....

[@ericcorse]

That seemed to be a nice car, I'm surprised it didn't have airbags at least i didn't see any deployed.

[@ireneeickenhorst2326]

Ron I said it but I’ll say it again your crew is awesome, when I dispatched was lucky enough to work with some great guys that knew their job. Worst thing happened the flatbed dropped the drive shaft on the way back from a tow into Las Vegas two cars ran over doing damage to both so we not only had to the flatbed but both of them and do repairs the boss had a few words with all the drivers.

[@kadenkilker6201]

I wish we could see and hear Mike's cam in videos. I really miss seeing Talon out on the road.

Tough recovery. The rotator saved the day for sure. Great support by passing drivers. Glad you were all safe, prayers for the injured driver.

[@demicus]

Informative for me personally. Drive a Crown Vic, which isn't exactly the same, but close enough for this sort of purpose. For how absolutely JACKED that frame is, impressed at how intact the car as a whole is. Heavy as she is, for a sedan anyway, that water really wanted to rip her right out from under y'all.

[@johnclamshellsp1969]

Always great videos Ron. Thank you.

[@deenunya7735]

Lucky Driver the Car Stopped where it did , otherwise be floating down the Water Top Vid Ron

[@retrodude9249]

I must admit this one got my heart going a bit, from the point where the Tator got lifted a bit to when you made a mad dash on the interstate to pull forward. But ultimately the recovery went safely, and that's what matters, but mother nature... and resistance proved once again that they're not to be underestimated.

[@topwatch7119]

Great video, Ron. Prayers for the driver. God Bless You, and your crew. As always, BE SAFE!!

I would say this person had a hell of a ride on the way down and very lucky.

[@DonRRicks]

Ron, you had mentioned a year or so ago about buying a vehicle (I think it was an old police car) to use as a blocking vehicle. As narrow as your interstate shoulders look, I don't think I'd do a recovery like this without having a police looking unit sitting behind me for higher visibility. This recovery was a nail biter.

[@dennismoody8140]

Ron I know people need to learn when they see you or the Police on the side of the road they need to be slowing down to about 45 MPH and watch what is going on around them but they don't so Please You all be safe and be careful out on those roads Thanks for the good jobs that you do, From Dennis in Maine Retired OVER The Road Trucker

[@scottm.franklinnc7942]

Dennis, your exactly right...being a 5 yr OTR ( until I got held up and held hostage ..after that I said I've got a young'n at home plus all the company asked " did they get the load?"..but yes ppl need less rubber necking ..pay attention, slow down and move over..but we're in a world attitude " it's all about me and I'll do it if I want to" out on the highway. Please be safe out there....its getting crazy out there.

[@TSKseattle]

My first thought on seeing the car was - "the wipers are still going?". So, the keys must be in it, they just bailed out quick after they landed

[@Quacks0]

Yeah I saw that, as well :D

[@drewburke31]

If the local PD was not able to stay on scene, they should have asked for trooper assistance. Bad weather recoveries can be so dangerous. You guys deserved a proper lane closure to do this safely.

[@Charlesb88]

A good rule of thumb is to Never assume a job like this will be easy as Murphy law can always strike at any time, especially when dealing with a vehicle tearing over any moving body of water where you don’t have access to one side of the vehicle. Given that you couldn’t see the drivers side of the car very well under those conditions I figured right off the bat it will turn out to be more difficult then first anticipated.
