I'm a little late watching this Ron, but per your loving request { Through Jesus my prayers are extended to the drivers of those vehicles and, all the emergency crews, for you and your family and your employees & their, families, etc., Amen } I am sure the families know you and your employees work in sometimes harsh conditions and in dangerous places and they worry out of love..... I continue to pray that people learn to slow down in bad weather out of respect for each other....... Thanks for taking the time to make the videos, edit them, and up-load them. I know it's a lot of work making videos, but I love seeing your trucks, riding along inside the trucks via your head / hat cam, and your efforts to load the vehicles and do rescue work. I certainly don't wish or pray for stuck vehicles or accidents so that you can provide video footage, but, unfortunately Accidents happen even to the best of us, so I'm thankful you are there to clean up and make the roads safe and passable once again and that you share your experiences with us thru your camera. Perhaps people watching your videos will be reminded thru the unfortunate owners of these cars and other vehicles in your videos what can happen and drive as safe as possible and have respect for each other, etc. Also these videos you produce may help teach and remind people to drive slower thru emergency zones learning and being reminded there are emergency people near by that can be hurt or killed easily by a careless driver. Your videos help teach people how they should react to emergency situations along the road and to drive carefully. Flashing lights of any kind are always a reminder to be extra safe around that vehicle and the environment around it.

[@RonPratt]

[@sfavre082371]

I love the fact the first responders don’t mind helping y’all. Around here that hardly ever happens!!! Stay safe brother!!!

[@alexandermckay8594]

It's funny how cramped the Superduty feels after the Peterbilt. I keep ducking my head trying to see under the visors! :)

[@CubasAutomotive]

Alexander McKay hahaha! Me too!

[@mp45code]

I have sometimes the same with the Pete when the cam is mounted higher on the hat or Ron is has his seat adjusted to a higher point. It weird but shows of how good quality these videos are! Keep it up!

[@69virgin1966]

Alexander McKay I'm glad that I'm not the only one who does that lol.

[@Kevill]

Bruh LOL I've been doing the same thing. I keep ducking down and then stopping and thinking "What the hell am I doing?".

[@korvtm]

Yep,me too.

[@TheCalgarydoug]

I did the Calgary to Medicine Hat mail run in 95 with an R model Mack and a 48 foot trailer, and the roads from Brooks to the Hat were like that every morning. Those mail runs are all at night so I used to arrive at the Hat in the early morning and there'd be cars and trucks off the road and even stuck on the road on a daily basis. I often found myself winding my way among trucks that were stuck on the highway and I was often told I was the only driver that always made it through. You have my prayers for staying safe and always getting home in one piece. You do a very dangerous job in the safest way so you have my respect for that.

[@davidwordsworth5584]

Thanks Doug, I am in Calgary too and they just looked like regular winter roads to me, nothing exceptional.

[@hreeves30]

Thank you Ron for another great video. Be safe!!!

[@bobaroo58]

Thanks Ron for the way you help in almost every weather condition!

[@cowkilla875]

Absolutely love your videos, been watching for over a year now. I love how unique and "out of the norm" your back up beepers are as well as the same klaxon on the rotator. Gets everyones attention and doesnt blend in with normal noise of life. Very safe.

Funny How bad Weather makes for Good Video !!!! Love watching what your doing and how you do it .....

[@tommitchell6289]

God bless you Ron and crew. You are such a professional and know your craft well. Many people have been blessed by your attention to their needs in moments of crisses in their lives. We are all called to do good things for others and God has put you in a vocation where that is a daily opportunity. I love your new truck and the versitility of it. I also love the grace with which you handle your employees, new ones and regular employees. You're a good man. May God richly bless you and your family. I'm 72 and retired, so say hi to your father for me. Tom Mitchell Olathe Kansas.

[@playerone7040]

Ron Pratt. I love your videos i have been watching for almost 3 months now and the videos that you produce are very great and show me what the towing life is like. My dad is a truck driver and he and I go all over the U.S. when ever I'm not at school. I would love to meet you and go on a job with you it would be a great experience for me. Thank You. God Bless.

[@ManxAndy]

Thanks for another great video Ron, stay safe, god bless..👍🇮🇲

[@abuubaydullah1]

The way the truck was its amazing there was no life changing injuries,we get very little freezing rain now and icy road like we use too, but the big problem is the cars are so light these day and wow you got them loaded fast,as all ways Ron Pratt may you all be blessed and kept safe .

[@cje1119]

I like tow trucks and the first video I saw I started watching you

[@kamoonrathewolfgod9189]

Who rescues the rescuer if something bad happens and you get stuck in bad weather? Thank heavens for people like you who go out in all weather to help others in need.

[@UberDude]

Ron, it’s 72 degrees here in Miami and the tow trucks are bored. 😊 Great job as usual and my prayers will be with you and your team for safety. 🙏🏾

[@CGAZ66]

Wow ...I do not have to deal with the snow. 2 hr drive and I can see it. That is good enough for me. Love your videos Ron....wtg

[@charlesrowbothamrowbotham1017]

[@keithbutler1009]

Hi Ron from the UK WE just getting frost at the moment minus 3 centigrade . I love your motto excellent for your Christian recovery company. I have my own Christian learner driving school and my motto is Driven by the spirit. I love the way Our Lord watches over us while we are working, even though the devil is always waiting to strike whenever he gets the chance , but our angels are always one step ahead AMEN. GOD BLESS YOU RON ALL YOUR STAFF AND YOUR CLIENTS. KEITH are Trinity Driving School Wakefield West Yorkshire U K

[@aussiebloke609]

I remember driving in weather like that, up in the PA/NJ area. In the automatic trucks, if I wasn't hard on the brakes when shifting into drive, the rears would sometimes just spin on the spot at idle. And when I wanted to stop, I had to slip it into neutral to stop, otherwise the front wheels would lock up and the rears would keep pushing me along the road. I love driving in just about any sort of weather...but not when it's like that. Nice quick job - and glad you're both safe. :-)

[@billsilversides1620]

Got to slow down the idle speed!

[@timpaszkiewicz7169]

Ron , I live up in Ste. Gen. Typical Missouri weather. You got snow. We got rain. If you don't like the weather in Missouri, wait a couple of hours, it'll change.

[@coypatton3160]

Tim Paszkiewicz hey I am from south of Ron in the bootheel. i usually add another line to that statement about weather in swampeast MO. “You may not like the weather change any better but it will be different.” Rom God bless and be safe! You guys work in some of the worse conditions!

[@budman1072]

Tim Paszkiewicz sounds like ohio🌨 snow now next hour 🌕sunny and warm😁😁

[@Samanthareneeheart10]

2 HOURS?! I live in Jeff county just to your north. Here is More like 1-2 MINUTES! LOL

[@meetakulkarni2068]

Ron I like the way you end your videos.I always watch till the end.

[@cogidubnus1953]

That was one really slick operation...be careful Ron...your expertise is becoming over-obvious ;-) Thanks from the UK Dave

[@starlawilson4103]

Just curious...how many calls did y'all get that day/night?

[@dewainwoodard4840]

Great video Ron thanks for sharing

[@69virgin1966]

My prayers and thoughts are going out to all that are involved with this mess. May God be with everyone in this storm and may he protect and watch over the emergency responders that have to be out in this garbage. As always Ron great video. That recovery looked fairly standard, that's not saying it is but rather it looked like it. Thanks for sharing and God bless

[@johnnymast6283]

hope everyone was ok love your videos your the best Ron

[@aircooledtx]

Stay safe out there Ron & crew

[@keithclark1875]

Ron, I know you are busy and may not see this, but you will get a kick out of this. I have watch a ton of you videos and love them very much. Well, tonight, I came home from work (I live by myself) and started this video. I went in another room and for some reason the video didn't start right a way and I totally forgot about this video about to start. My speaker volume was much higher than normal. When your intro music started with the horns. Scared my half to death...lol. Keep up the great work.

[@420kjhj]

Great video 👍 Refreshing to see everyone cooperating and helping each other out

[@gayleharrelson579]

you guys are heroes for getting things done in the weather you work in everyday God bless you all stay safe & always know we love you all.

[@tinabutkus4619]

Great job Ron and mike ! Those vehicles looked seriously wrecked and I pray that the drivers are not hurt real bad !😢💕🙏 that truck is done

[@zalmaflash]

That's about as fast and safe as it can be done. Great job.

[@gorillaau]

zalmaflash cold weather is a good motivator to make like sheep... get to flock out of there.

[@Quadflash]

Ron, this situation shows how important your professional methods really are. Road and weather conditions teamed up to make this recovery potentially dangerous. But, you just got'r done and everyone went home safe.

[@dadfordtech]

Prayers sent...i remember those day of snow.....I use to live in Iowa...

[@danachappell3861]

Wow!! What messy roads, and weather. Something like ours. We just received 30 cm (1 ft.) of snow yesterday, and already it's trying to melt. So glad that nobody was critically injured in this accident, and that all the first responders got there safely too. God bless and stay safe. :)

[@cyh4031]

Appreciate your faith and service sir!!!

[@donhenderson1209]

My prayers go out to you, your family, ( to include your employees) and everyone involved every time one of your truck engines starts. God bless, Ron

Nice video Ron. Stay safe out there and God bless

[@johnbellas490]

That Red pickup was converted into the new articulated steering version, only capable of right hand turns only all the time ! My prayers to the injured involved as always, that truck reminded me of an accident that happened about 4 years ago where one car T boned another car and the car that was damaged like that truck was driven into the end of my driveway by the impact sideways!! I live at the intersection of an OFFSET 4 way intersection which is very bad because everything is at an uphill slant or downhill slant depending on your point of view!! The driver of the T boned car survived but not without severe injuries to his right side neck that resulted in him having a stroke that left his left side arm and leg impaired !! I had used several large white towels to control bleeding without moving him in any way, ambulance is only 2 miles away so they arrived within 2 minutes of call along with rescue and fire trucks, they called stat flight to get him to Westchester Hospital, my actions probably saved his life anyway and so his family later thanked me for doing what I did, and that was gratifying enough for me!!

[@eddieball2500]

THE RED PICKUP

Hope that the spring finally have arrive to your county :-) Greatings from Denmark

[@SimplexSM]

That was a quick recovery. Impressive.

[@matthewroth8470]

Prayers For The Safety Of You And The Guys At Midwest Truck Ron. Everyone Else That You Asked For Me To Pray For. I Will Do For That Reason.

[@joelwingate7994]

Great video! looks very cold and miserable to work in though. be safe. you can always go to slow but only go to fast once.

[@TheCrewChief374]

It is funny in a non haha way to see how you uses the snatch block to pull the vehicle over straight. Due to the fact, my dad would have just hooked up to the vehicle. Then pulled the vehicle until it was lined up with the bed of the rollback. Although this is how he learned it in the military I suppose! Although, I like how you do move the vehicle over straight, with the snatch block, without moving the rollback at all. Needless, to say a lot is different from the late 70's through the mid 90''s when I was around the family towing and recovery business! Of course, there is no doubt, I believe you are doing an excellent job. So don't take it as me suggesting, just me thinking back to when I was going on wrecker calls with my dad and grandpa!

[@LilyandOllieTv]

Love you my brother just got done praying! God is good all the time and all the time God is Good!

[@janicelaswell361]

I am just now watching. Sending prayers for all the workers and their families. Also for those people who may be injured. 🙏🙏🙏

You seem to be having the same weather as us over here, it was called the beast from the east. The whole country was covered in snow, brought it to a complete halt as we aren’t geared up for lots of snow. As always keep safe and god bless

[@stuartpatterson2754]

Stay safe out there, and to the drivers in the accident, a speedy recovery
