TATOR AND STAR PERFORM 55,000 LB TANDEM DEAD LIFT!!!

[@harveywaitchison2062]

I really like Oscar. He seems to be knowledgeable yet willing to learn more, and he’s certainly a “let’s get ‘er done” type of individual.

[@johnheffelfinger3231]

I agree and that’s what Ron needs on his team

[@terrybradley5457]

I Think So Too,

[@KjosephB]

Oscar is the real deal

[@joshua43214]

Man, work ethic just oozes out of Oscar. Don't let that man go

[@peterhobson3262]

An interesting lift. Oscar is definitely an asset to your team.

[@excavatoree]

He doesn't let any grass grow under his feet. He's always working, studying, or planning. He's always asking Ron for information - he seems to always want to learn.

[@andrewkoetz3933]

"More Clearance Clarence & DON'T CALL ME SHIRLEY" 🤣

[@Rags722]

Love this! Oscar is a natural! Lots of hustle and anticipates what is needed. Customer slinging chain just like he works for Midwest. Star and Tator working together like it was a single person working both controls. Great show Ron. Thanks and have a wonderful day!

[@honorharrington4546]

Oscar has the best quality in an employee... he listens. He is not thinking about lunch or how he is would do the job, he pays attention and listens to instructions. I'll bet he shows up on time and ready to work, not half asleep and looking for coffee.

[@scallawagon713]

Oscar seems like a great addition to the team.

[@AWRay1300]

Excellent safe job and great teamwork! Oscar, keep learning from the Master and WILL GO farther than you ever thought possible. Ron, I am sure that your dad would be proud of Oscar as well. Oscar seems to be a natural in the Western Star!

[@ronnie122171]

T.G.I.R.P.F. =thank GOD IT IS RON PRATT FRIDAY

[@nancytunis7472]

So thankful to see a video from you. I know nobody's going to be swearing. And if I accidentally go to sleep, I can always back it up and watch it again. This is my third time catching COVID. I really hate sitting around the house. This helps to make it all worthwhile.

[@nancytunis7472]

...and I did go to sleep. Guess my body needs the rest. Thanks for getting the work done, with or without me!

[@rickweissmann7101]

Thank goodness

[@lincolnlane9235]

Does the heart good to see an All-American man and crew doing honest, IMPORTANT work. What you do is dangerous, very hard work, at all hours, and I hope everyone who watches these videos recognizes that. When things like this happen, you want reputable, COMPETENT people doing the work, and you don’t get that everywhere. If you haven’t heard it today, good work, Ron - stay safe.

[@craigb8145]

Ron Im a retired driver/ operator back in my younger days I was driving a Ltl Ford with a Holmes 750. We did like you with 2 750's just like you did with this bulk trailer. But our trailer was a Propane Blimp with 10% left on board, so it sloshed a little. But like you we took our time and watched everything! I love watching your adventures so much but NONE have brought back memories like this lift! Thanks for all your video's!! You can bet I watch them alot. Craig

[@howardnielsen6220]

Hello from La Pine Oregon Fall weather setting in Low today 33, the high 84 Nice to watch Oscar work and think independently he’s a good men

[@edwardreidt1230]

Oscar is doing a fantastic job he good addition to your team

[@alanstant9356]

Oh yeah Ron Pratt on a Friday. The best part is watching you guys work work together to get a job done successfully and safe. God Bless you guys.

[@teaches2010]

Hi Oscar!!! Stay safe and God bless #wherestalon

[@warrenbridges4095]

Very professionally done as usual.. You got yourself a great young man with Oscar working for you. It's a pleasure to work with someone like him with his teachable demeanor.. He will go far with that great attitude..

[@GeorgeZ213]

Always love hearing mater speak up once in a while

[@williambillwaynerobertson930]

That was pretty impressive team work Ron with you and Oscar in sequence.👍🇺🇸👍

[@AndreasKlepp-EggeJr.]

Ron, I love the way you train your employees. You're success depends on your employes. They trulely love you. It made this video very special.

[@JaniceMcGill-r6v]

My favourite part about these videos is that there’s no drama you guys get along willing to listen to each other. I know Oscar is probably not quite as well informed as you I don’t even know what you look like but I think you guys did amazing job and watching the camaraderie and that was just special to watch

[@andyneipert2527]

The new guy doing good job

[@SumterWrecker]

Mr Ron I painted my pads just like my snatch blocks so I know they are on the correct side. Thanks for sharing and stay safe

[@JohnHallgren]

Wouldn’t a simple painted or decal D & P to indicate side be sufficient?

[@davidwayne9982]

Ethan does great--- you've raised and trained a GOOD man there!!! You have much to be proud of my friend...

[@greenbeenie2]

THANK YOU, Ron and Oscar for another fine rescue. God bless, stay safe

[@ccrider5398]

Oscar seems like a pretty sharp cookie! That was a tricky move with two trucks coordinated.

[@balsachopper7]

Simple, but complicated lift. Good job Ron and Oscar.

[@gwennk9857]

By the way Oscar operates you would think he has been doing this for years. Great job.

[@burtoncummins8970]

Morning Ron be safe and prayers for your family and all your coworkers and their family

[@stevebury6560]

just tilt it to the side, the let empty!!!! excellent job to oscar!!

[@kraziebill1]

Oscar looks like a keeper.

[@maudwelford7919]

Wonderful cooperation 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇬🇧🙏

[@janeweldon8874]

Oscar is a real asset to your company. A nice job.

[@woody1320]

Agree with the other comments, Oscar rocks!

[@tomfrench8191]

That fontaine trailer is beautiful!!!!!

[@davidwayne9982]

I love watching you work with your guys-- they all have so much good common sense and smarts on rigging correctly etc.- and that is HARD to train correctly--youve done such a great job of it and have a WONDERFUL crew... AGAIN- you have MUCH to be proud of. Maybe you should consider filming and doing a TRAINING COURSE for tow drivers and RECOVERY specialist... you'd make a bundle...

[@davidjibson4199]

Great teamwork there.

[@johnmarlow2887]

Oscar deserves an Oscar for today's work.

[@sylvia912]

Thanks again for an interesting video. Oscar is a good addition to the "Pratt Family!" Thank you Oscar for a job well done.

[@TowMan127]

37:49 gotta get that thumbnail 😂

[@RonPratt]

Absolutely 💯 🤪

[@TowMan127]

@@RonPratt 😂 I try to get shots while recording. Nothing as cool as yours though. 💪💪

[@13thcolony57]

Another outstanding job. Oscar is a great asset. He is motivated and willing to learn. He set up his rigging and followed instructions during the lift. I really enjoy watching anyone of his caliber perform their job. Always STAY SAFE OUT THERE.

[@edwinschlee8374]

Good job Ron and Oscar getting lifted and set on the ground!

[@dawnlindgron5570]

You two work perfectly together !

[@julieerwin3896]

Ron, you have a good man there. Oscar has come a long way.. He is smart and follows directions very well. I live what Ethan is doing to the rotator. She a beautiful truck. A fantastic job. Well done all. Sending love to you all. Ps. Hello mom Pratt. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@getzybreuer3691]

Thank you so much for the video please post more videos a week God bless you

[@-ray-h]

Good morning Ron... Love you guys...! Every single day....!!!

[@pjshaw6633]

I always enjoy watching your episode's

[@mdcg1278]

Funny you mentioned a car hitting it. Years ago I worked for a grease company who had a class B tank truck hit in Florida. Dude driving a S10 came around a curve on the wrong side and hit the truck so fast it tore up the steps and knocked both rear axles out. Both trucks were totaled and the S10 driver was air lifter to the hospital.

[@lancebillingsley199]

Another good job Oscar did a excellent job

[@henkoosterhof5947]

Nicely done. Takes thrust in each other to hoist paralel.

[@dianeraak8267]

Ron thank you for your videos, I got a dear friend to watch your videos because he loved trucks being a big rig driver himself sadly he passed away this week. Thanks for the memories

[@steveweideman6417]

WOW AWESOME JOB RON AND OSCAR!!!!!!! I love watching you work and doing it safely. God Bless you and may he keep you all safe .

[@libby5335]

Very well done! You got a good worker in Oscar! You sounded a bit excited about the lift! The inside of the cab looks nice but I miss all the little extras on the dash! God bless!

[@donames6941]

I think Oscar is going to be a good operator

[@eddie3489]

Congratulations Ron!! I just realized that you had over 5 hundred thousand followers!! Just being your self!!

[@markreetz1001]

You made me laugh at myself. When you pulled along side the load and stopped, I said out loud, "Ron, you're too far away." Then you started putting out the outriggers and they end up a foot away from the load. I thought, I guess he doesn't need me to tell him where to park! Good video Ron. Oscar seems to have the hang of it just needing a little more experience.

[@mfc4591]

Nice job men, have a good week end Mr Pratt.

[@bobbykennedy4274]

Hey Ron keep up youre great works , youve got Bobby Kennedy of Russellville, Kentucky aka Muddy Waters Search and Recovery here , we all do same just differently 😂❤😊1:51 1:53 we

[@jonathanbair523]

Good thing you practiced the cloths pin with the car in the last video....

[@Holy_Moley]

Great start to the weekend, and beginning of school holidays in Victoria, Australia. Rapture Ready, lift off video!! Bit worried about the potential for the trailer to roll.

[@gregulrey1821]

U guys got this

[@joejohnson7097]

Oscar seems to be willing to learn and has some knowledge. That went nice, no problem. Thanks for the video

[@rbaker1423]

Oscar is great. He knows what to do and he's doing it well. He will be a great asset to the company.

[@catgynt9148]

Another terrific video Ron. Thanks for sharing this. I think this was the first time I’ve ever see the tator’s wheels off ground. Wishing you and your team a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings. Peace brother

[@glennjukes5581]

Nice safe job-pleasure to work around folks like that customer-Marty. Good hand and slow/steady. Everyone goes home safe!

[@blockpartyron4865]

Love you guys for sharing

[@andrewkiwi1]

Theres always a lot to learn in this job even when you think you know what you are doing! You make it look easy.

[@TowMan127]

Great work guys! 👏👏👏💪💪💪💪

[@ОлегАлексеев-ч7ф]

🤗👍Отличная работа, Ron!!! Очень интересным и нужным делом ты занимаешься!👍Удачи тебе! Береги себя, аккуратнее в работе, никогда не торопись.🤗Спасибо тебе за видео.👍

GOOD MORNING!

[@donsmith8701]

i have never seen the rotator that clean inside before looks good

[@slimwantedman6694]

Good morning from Southeast South Dakota

[@hasletjoe5984]

Marty is a great customer and get it done kind of guy. Thank for the video. Would like to see the next phase of off load/relocate to shop for repairs. Thanks again!

[@georgelincoln6584]

I Love You're Video's.

[@mixerman1]

Another great safe job. Oscar is a great addition to the team. He is a go getter yet never gets to "rammy" always double checks things like as he was booming up he stopped to check the space on the glad hands. Job well done. I do have to say I would like to see more static video from different angles, bouncing around on your helmet so much almost makes me seasick

[@markverloop8787]

What they just said it’s HARD to get people to Get into the Profession and stay. The govt / state/ fed makes it so hard to get a CDL, and then the drug tests a lot of them can’t pass it☹️. And the sad thing is it will only get worse 😢😢. Keep up the good work and I hope that your company will continue to grow .

[@chris76-01]

I have a cdl and can pass any drug test. Only problem is i live in Florida and ron lives in Missouri. Too far to commute 😊

[@matt89108]

The pay is crap.

[@arthurbiringer5676]

Another award winning job! Keep up the great work and stay safe!

[@cdarting91]

I’d love to see a close-up of what all the touchscreen buttons in the cab do.

[@1stMrSoundguy]

Ron it would be nice if you did a video at your shop about the different trucks you have and what there name and capabilities are hope to see it soon thanks for you attention to detail and safety

[@kylesmith8769]

Smooth action on a big lift

[@SherrilWoods-jm6ir]

Mr- Ron that was awesome

[@TimRudd-l8v]

Good morning. Have safe day.

[@bigmountain7561]

Now Ron as Prehistoric Wrecker Driver to another Prehistoric Older Than Dirt Wrecker Driver You Know Who’s Responsible Before Leaving The Shop To Make Sure Your Cab Has Its Stuff!!! LMAO!!!!

[@robt2151]

From previous views of Ron's cab we might get the impression that Ethan's skills in tidying up must have come from his mother!

[@patriciasmith6012]

As always Ron and Oscar great work 😊

[@richardmarkham696]

I saw tator in cape the other day truck looks so much better in person than video gorgeous fleet u got

[@RonPratt]

Thanks 👍I would tend to agree, especially when it is freshly washed and painted. Thank you for watching and God bless.

[@MichaelSmith-dg3kr]

This was an amazing dead lift. You have to know what you're doing to do what you and Oscar just did. Good job from Va..

[@THEPATHFINDER41]

Great video Ron! I just can imagine what it look like if you had the biggest rotator Miller Industries made using it to do the lifting of that tanker trailer. Bet it would be pretty awesome.

[@alextrigger5222]

Whe you say "take it easy" and we are waiting to see it move and dont see movement till you see the gap under the legs. That is great control and a great operator.

[@jimsmith9819]

no traffic, no arc nemesis, no ditch, however did you manage to get the job done🤣

[@roberttitley1851]

Now that's how you do it nice job and safe 👏 👍

[@jonathanacton5133]

Two powerful wrecker Friday amen😊

Great teamwork ! No dramas, no crises. A real smooth job. by Mr Ron ,Oscar and the customer. Oscar looks like a real asset to MidWest Truck. Very impressive as always. Best Wishes to you all. Roy W UK

[@marilynhutchings6666]

Have a great weekend

[@susankayterry8246]

Love watching all you and your crew do, great job, God Bless! Lot's of ????'s gets lot's of answers!!! The only way to learn! Great job Oscar!

[@bettywilson5017]

You and your trucks are amazing.

[@eddiewipple8016]

I enjoyed watching your videos

[@greyjay9202]

Ron, you and Oscar unloaded that tank with one rotator and one heavy wrecker. It took a crew with two rotators to load that tank on the flatbed. Well done! If I'm not mistaken, that load was also a bit top heavy, which makes the whole process even more of a delicate operation. There is just no substitute for experience, and that is what you bring to the table.

[@RonPratt]

Thank you very much. God bless.

[@thephantom1492]

I'm sure that if Ron had 2 rotator available he would have used both for safety.

[@Tonka81061]

I finally caught you, you didn't sound your horn BEFORE you started backing up!

[@wendelpfefferkorn2940]

Youre at the cement plant. Cape Girardeau... been there several times
