Here I was as somebody into buses, trains, streetcars, etc. a little over a year & a half ago curious to see if there was a video on KZbin of a bus being towed... Never would I of guessed I would discover such an amazing channel & service. Keep up the great work, Ron!

[@jrwyak]

The other day I was watching some of RepoNut's videos on autoplay, fell asleep, woke up to this video and spent way too long while half asleep trying to figure out how a school bus got repossessed...lol. Then I realized it was Ron Pratt. Your videos are great. No drama, and very interesting. And you bring a level of calm to tough situations in a way I doubt few people ever could. I don't know how you do it day in and day out, but well done!

I miss RepoNut.... He got me into watching tow vids... Now I watch Ron every week.

[@peggykelly2821]

I sure enjoyed watching you secure the bus for towing! I am a retired school bus driver and it brought back memories seeing the inside of the bus.

[@861M4]

hi Ron I just wanted to say your a good tow truck driver and one of the nicest where I live people don't take care of the customers car don't keep maintenance on their trucks but you try and be nice and I respect that i do this with my dad so god bless you and have a good day Ron

[@RonPratt]

Thank you very much for such kind words. I do appreciate your interest and you watching my channel. Say "hello" to your dad from Midwest Truck. Stay safe and God bless.

[@861M4]

Ron Pratt I will and thanks god bless

[@Penster-Elle]

Excellent video and commentary Ron. It was nice to see a bit of the scenery around your part of the world. Stay safe and God bless.

[@RonPratt]

Thanks so much for watching and for your positive comments. God bless.

[@rosscharlie5349]

Ron not only are you an expert at your job you are one of the if not the most polite person its been my pleasure to watch on you tube, or any other social media out let for that matter Regards Darren UK

[@RonPratt]

Thanks so much Darren. I try to offer respect to each person I come into contact with. I appreciate you watching my channel and I am glad you enjoy it. God bless.

[@RandysFiftySevenChevy]

Watching these reminds me of the time I was a heavy wreaker driver while serving our country in Germany. Im 63 and I bet I could do it again if had the chance,. love your videos.

[@heatherglen36]

Hello from Scotland. Really enjoying the videos Ron. I did 24 hour recovery some years ago and loved it, but the shifts were killers - 2 days on, 2 days off constant, eat and sleep when you could. I spent the first day of the 2 days off in bed! Then I got the best job of all - collecting cars for auction from all over the country with a twin-deck transporter and regular hours. Take care, stay safe, and God bless.

[@RonPratt]

Thanks for watching my channel! We are a small family operation and I answer the phone 24/7, 365! The nights are certainly the worst as well as the heat, but you already know that routine. I look forward to those days I can sleep in my friend. God bless and thanks for the kind comments.

[@gavinshrock6139]

Hi Ron. I love watching your videos, it reminds me of my towing days. When I had to tow a bluebird I always like to chain the rear axle to gain clearance on the front bumber. You gotta love how versatile mediums are. Stay safe.

[@Tactical_Moose00]

6 years later, this is still one of the best videos out there

[@mrk1075]

Thank you for the field trip.

[@huflungwun5558]

Many thanks for taking us along on the ride to the shop. Its always interesting to look at the local scenery along with your verbal description. Very much appreciate your videos. Keep up the great work!

[@RonPratt]

Thank you for watching and I am glad you enjoyed the video tour. God bless.

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Thanks for the verbal description as you tie it up. interesting about the stop sign too... Excellent teaching.

[@RonPratt]

Thank you for watching my channel. God bless

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Hey Ron, wanna edit this guy out and gone?

[@RonPratt]

I apologize for that one slipping through the filter. I had already deleted one remark and somehow that one found its way on here. Thanks so much for helping me catch that one. So sad that folks feel the need to post such trash. God bless and thanks again.

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Ron Pratt You do a nice job of creating good content that should offend no-one. You teach being polite and respectful by example, and get across the concept of working to earn a living, and to take pride in that work. What the heck is wrong with people to leave nasty remarks about you, and we who enjoy watching what you do. I will never drive a tow truck, especially at my age, but its fun to ride along with you on youtube and enjoy the challenges and successes with you.

[@nolanmorgan5150]

yes you do

[@hippyhillbillie2958]

Hi Ron, I had no idea that there is a Scott City, Missouri, though I know of the one in Kansas. Learn something new everyday. I have driven school buses for 35.5 years and continue doing so. Have a great day!

[@TheSwampdoggydog]

Like the new ad, I believe you lift people up also here on KZbin. Keep safe Ron and god bless

[@stejan2620]

As a 25 year old pc role player who plays as a Towing / Recovery role in a life server (and grateful to have the person who oversees the Tow / Mechanic department be a former Tow / Recovery operator and owner like yourself) I have had so many great things I’ve learned from your videos to enhance my role play and experience while also learning about the business. Much appreciated Ron and keep up the great work. :) you guys and gals really are one of the groups who work hard and tow harder

[@williambuis7789]

Hey you forgot to sound horn 3x when you backed up lol you do a great job Ron keep up the good work

[@bluemtnsman]

Considerate, concise, precise, efficient. Always a pleasure to watch you at work. Be safe.

[@RonPratt]

Thanks so much for the kind words. God bless and thanks for watching.

[@SaposJoint]

Thanks, Ron. I do enjoy the peaceful pace of your videos, and the calm you always seem to have. Of course, I'm not driving so it's easy to be calm and just ride along...

[@Sara-L]

I do enjoy your attention to detail especially when it comes to safety. Especially when children are involved!!!

[@RonPratt]

Thank you so much and I appreciate you watching my channel. Our kids are our most important investment, so no short cuts. God bless and thanks for watching.

[@Kuulanth]

I bought myself a pair of those 10ft retracting ratchets from watching you and they are my go to for small light stuff. It saves me time from grabbing my 27foot 3 inch straps that I have for big stuff

[@evs-if1tc]

Thanks Ron for showing. Real real professional preparing those tiny details to perform this job. Good job done helping those people.

Thanks so much for the nice comments and for watching. God bless.

45 years later I still remember where my k-8 driver lived just down the street. Drivers would take their buses home at the end of the day.instead of to a fleet yard.

[@thomaslin3341]

How does the district pay for the repairs and tow?

[@AverageGamer620]

They still do that in some places.

[@ericm8811]

Ultra thanks Rotator Ron! The drive back to your shop was excellent! It gives us viewers more of an idea what Scott city is like. Perhaps a shop tour if you have time? I sure as heck would enjoy it! Stay safe!

[@RonPratt]

I am so glad you enjoy the channel and part of the more rural side of our town. I will work to include more of the shop tours when I can. Thanks so much for watching and God bless.

[@chrisretusn]

Another great video. It's nice to see regular tows as opposed to wrecks. Have a great day and God bless. Oh love that logo.

[@jarrodspencer8113]

Hi Ron I wood like to say your videos on your rotater and your ather tow trucks are very educational for someone who once to own thear own business. I will like to say thank you for sharing your videos on KZbin. Cheers Jarrod from NZ

Absolutely one of my favorite vids and Ron taking time to make sure the kids was safely transferred was an awesome.

[@ciaranbird3373]

creds to u for being very calm and friendly. most tow truck drivers in Britain will be hot, sweaty and swearing about them doing this and rolling under the bus and throwing things about etc

[@RonPratt]

I have seen those behaviors as well and they never reflect positively in any situation. I try (not 100% successful) to keep my cool. When you are under pressure to get the job accomplished quickly and safely sometimes it gets difficult. Thanks so much for commenting and watching my channel. God bless.

[@brycecamp57]

Something Like this happened to my bus, I was riding the bus and where I live it tends to get muddy, And Once we get into this dead end holler we got stuck in mud we had to call a wrecker to get us out. That was the best thing Thats happened on my bus

[@vetterfellow]

Thank you for the ride Bud !!. Glad you checked to make sure no children left behind. I noticed you don't down shift !! Ron.... Cool Dragon Wagon. See Ya next time... Angelo.

[@RonPratt]

Thanks for watching and I am in love with the car in your profile pic. Children are always a priority for us when it comes to safety. We take great pride in making sure those buses are ready and safe. Thanks for watching and God bless.

i am surprised there was no red lights flashing when they were transferring the children Thank You Ron for making sure the Children were safe the bus drivers here is Oregon use yellow and red lights when they are picking up children and letting them off with a stop sign also you are a Real Blessing Ron

[@jonathanbair523]

The second school bus was kinda stopping traffic from going around the broken down bus..If it was a bigger road I bet the lights would have came on, maybe even have a police car there too.

Thank you very much for your kind comments. I appreciate the recognition and I know our guys do as well. It's often a tough job. I appreciate you watching and God bless.

[@ron827]

Great video and did not know all the tricks to towing a school bus. It appears you do not downshift when coming to a stop or slowing for a sharp turn and the tach looks to drop to idle RPM. I thought downshifting was recommended to conserve the brakes. Keep the vids coming as I learn something from each one.

[@RonPratt]

I am so glad you are enjoying the videos. God bless.

[@NachumRobbins]

He uses an engine brake to conserve the brakes.

[@dougsmonsters4866]

[@RonPratt]

Thank you and God bless.

[@billyboi57]

The engine fan serves two purposes. It provides cooling for the engine coolant and it also comes on when the air conditioning is used. In the case of the air condition in the heat removal process is what is know as head pressure on the a/c compressor. The fan removes that heat also allowing that pressure to come down.

Another interesting recovery and I am so pleased to see you respecting the need for anonymity of the school kids doing your best to protect them for what's out there to prey on them In some cases I am sorry to say sometimes from their own families but hey you did a great job a good tow home all safe and sound well done my friend... God bless you and yours......

[@RonPratt]

Thank you very much for your loyal viewing and positive comments. I do appreciate them very much. I am always so cautious with the kids. It is a shame to have to do so, but I felt that was the safest thing to do. Thanks again and God bless my friend.

[@CharlieParker1959]

Here in the UK, it is actually illegal to film a minor and post it anywhere without the written permission of their parents or guardian which I personally think is the law doing right for once...God bless you and yours.....

I have to chuckle when you say small town and I see where you're driving. Where I come from (mid-Canada, farming community) our town is two miles long and has about 1000 people. It seems your town is a little bigger!

Great video Ron. My 5 year old gets a kick out of sitting with me to watch.

[@klevinaters4681]

I was watching older videos and thought you should do something. Go over to the side with lights on, if people don't move over you have officers a bit in front of you ready to get them. -- Slow Down Move Over Trap -- as I'm calling it. Would be awesome to see!

[@RonPratt]

I suppose that would be an idea. We just want folks to be safe and in turn, keep us safe so we can get home to our families. My father and son-in-law are in this with me and it is certainly an unwelcome thought that one of us might get hit. Thanks for thinking of us and God bless.

[@klevinaters4681]

Ron Pratt Most definitely watch out. It's about the operators safety. I was watching a video based in California, apparently they have the same law, they said on average a tow truck operator gets hit every 6 days. It's bad people can't get over and some people lose their life over it. God bless.

[@EezeeListen]

Certainly in UK the vast majority of drivers could not care less about what is occurring - as far as they are concerned you are a huge nuisance and they will not slow down or move over a bit. So many reports of recovery/incident personnel being injured, sometimes fatally. A sad world sometimes where little respect is afforded.

[@SteveHolsten]

I'll bet the bus might've gone into limp mode. I drove school buses 12 yrs down here in the Bootheel & Piggott Ark and never had to be towed in. I mostly drove in Kennett. The mechanic did have to come out one morning on my route & put the shifter back in the transmission. Somehow I jerked it plum out! I made a few out of town trips to Scott City. I'm a new subscriber too.

[@RonPratt]

Thanks for the sub and hello to a fellow swam east Missourian! Thanks for watching and watch those shifters LOL! Thanks for watching and God bless.

[@64pori]

Over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house we go! LOL 😁

[@bodysaver]

Great hook up and well explained. Now, clearly if the bus had air ride it is always best to at least put one chain on the rear axle while the bus is in the lowered position to prevent damage to the airbags. I am sure you already checked for that. I simply added that for those that didn't know that. One more thing, sometimes even without airbags, it doesn't hurt to chain up the rear axle anyway to allow for the extra clearance for the front of the bus even if it only gave you another 2 inches... Food for thought. Truth is this was a great training video for the new drivers.. Good job Ron...:)

Love your videos always look forward to watching them! Keep up the good work!

Hey Ron I have seen every single video you have posted. I am a very big fan of your channel and hope you keep all the good work. I am from Iowa and see tow trucks all the time.

Thank you. I am pleased with how the new intro turned out as well. I always play it on the safe side where the kids are concerned. As much as I hate to admit it, our world is not as safe as when I was a kid. Thanks for watching and God bless.
