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

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!!! Today, Oscar and I get to do a little Heavy lifting workout. A bulk tanker loaded with HazMat was involved in a crash and hauled in on a RGN trailer to its destination. We get called in to lift and unload the damaged trailer. The rear axle was knocked completely out of the trailer and the front axle has been compromised. We use our flagship Peterbilt 389X with a Miller Industries, Century 1150R heavy towing & recovery unit as well as Dad's Western Star with a Vulcan V70 to lift this 55,000 pound (24,948 kg) behemoth!!! I loved, loved, LOVED this job. I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

Again, a very special thank you to all my viewers, family, and friends who having taken the time to show their support. May God bless and protect you all!!!

[@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,

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@joshua43214]

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

[@scallawagon713]

Oscar seems like a great addition to the team.

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@edwardreidt1230]

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

[@teaches2010]

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

[@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

[@GeorgeZ213]

Always love hearing mater speak up once in a while

[@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.

[@user-kc7rz9bo4e]

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

[@andrewkoetz3933]

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

[@greenbeenie2]

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

[@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..

[@williambillwaynerobertson930]

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

[@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...

[@kraziebill1]

Oscar looks like a keeper.

[@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?

[@gwennk9857]

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

[@balsachopper7]

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

[@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.

[@woody1320]

Agree with the other comments, Oscar rocks!

[@tomfrench8191]

That fontaine trailer is beautiful!!!!!

[@Vic1943_]

awesome job Mr Ron and Mr Oscar thanks for sharing ✝️ may God bless you 'all stay safe out there

[@maudwelford7919]

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

[@davidwayne9982]

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

[@getzybreuer3691]

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

[@davidjibson4199]

Great teamwork there.

[@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.

[@donames6941]

I think Oscar is going to be a good operator

[@sylvia912]

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

[@mfc4591]

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

[@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!

[@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. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ccrider5398]

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

[@burtoncummins8970]

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

[@edwinschlee8374]

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

[@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.

[@jonathanbair523]

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

[@janeweldon8874]

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

[@pjshaw6633]

I always enjoy watching your episode's

[@gregulrey1821]

U guys got this

[@henkoosterhof5947]

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

[@TowMan127]

Great work guys! 👏👏👏💪💪💪💪

[@johnmarlow2887]

Oscar deserves an Oscar for today's work.

[@dawnlindgron5570]

You two work perfectly together !

[@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.

[@blockpartyron4865]

Love you guys for sharing

[@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 .

[@andyneipert2527]

The new guy doing good job

[@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!

[@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

[@georgelincoln6584]

I Love You're Video's.

[@Tonka81061]

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

[@-ray-h]

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

[@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.

[@artmont9043]

PRECISE SURGERY OSCAR & RON. GOOD DEAL

[@kylesmith8769]

Smooth action on a big lift

[@lancebillingsley199]

Another good job Oscar did a excellent job

[@stevebury6560]

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

[@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.

[@rbaker1423]

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

[@eddie3489]

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

[@cdarting91]

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

[@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

[@harveystephens6115]

Nice job!

[@thomaschandler8036]

Good work, good lift...

[@Feline_Frenzy53]

Excellent work, Ron and Oscar. You guys made it look easy. Stay safe out there.

[@jimmarshall2757]

That was done with style and finesse, a very nice job, I always enjoy watching Oscar, tell him something once and he’s got it. 👍 🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@glennjukes5581]

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

[@joejohnson7097]

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

[@arthurbiringer5676]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@TowMan127]

GOOD MORNING!

[@bettywilson5017]

You and your trucks are amazing.

[@nitedriva8951]

Mr. Ron Pratt is the G.O.A.T. with the rotator…..

[@loisrinehart6755]

Great video. Great lift. Looks like Oscar is a great asset to your team. He doesn't need a lot of supervision. He anticipates and has it ready almost before you tell him what you need. Great job. thanks.

[@eddiewipple8016]

I enjoyed watching your videos

[@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!

[@Maxwelhouser66]

Excellent work as always- Love the videos, Keep it up.

[@adairwilkinson6916]

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

[@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

[@deanspagnolo4976]

Great job well done guys love the video

Awesome job
