THE NIGHT SHIFT

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!!! Today I'm going to try a little something different with the editing.

[@chuckmoore1380]

A special treat! We get a double-header from Ron this morning! It is great to see you and Ethan both getting recovery jobs in this morning's video. I am remembering one of the first videos I saw of you and Ethan together: Pulling a tractor-trailer out that had dropped its rear axles into a ditch. You put Ethan to work digging enough dirt out from in front of those tires to get some cribbing in as a ramp. Your customer remarked how impressed he was that Ethan worked so hard to help, when his own son spent most of the time playing video games. It impressed me too. Ethan, you are becoming a top-tier recovery operator. It is great to see how you have progressed in learning this trade. Ron, you have done well teaching him not only how to work those controls, but in how to treat his customers too. Stay safe and healthy.

[@RonPratt]

Thank you very much. So many viewers are negative when it comes to Ethan. I greatly appreciate how you've noticed his growth, learning, and professionalism. He is only 21 years old and will be a top notch operator. It takes time to gain experience and confidence. Again, thank you for the positivity!!!! God bless.

[@chuckmoore1380]

@@RonPratt Well, shucks. Not only does he notice my comment, "heart" my comment, and pin it, but then he actually pens a heart-warming reply. This is the reason I catch his videos every Friday 7 AM (and the occasional ones he sneaks in during the week).

[@rweissrock]

@@RonPratt What?! People are negative about Ethan? We witnessed a teenager grow up as a firefighter (AKA true heroe) and skilled recovery operator in a few years. The only negative thing about Ethan is that he does not do the "Pratt fall" but he has time to learn that important skill from Ron.

[@bonniebecker3254]

@@RonPratt Gosh, Ron, my husband and I avidly watch to enjoy seeing how well Ethan does his jobs. Yes, and he's also great at communicating graciously with the customers. We can't comprehend how anyone could possibly diss him! By the way, we love Ethan's dad too. LOL

[@RonPratt]

@rwelssrock, I can assure you there have been many Pratt Falls in his time so far, I just haven't caught much on camera. LOL Thank you also, for noticing that he is only 21 and has learned a great deal. He is a very respectful young man and is still learning, as am I. People so often compare him to me and I have been at this for over 35 years. He isn't supposed to be ME! Thank you again for noticing his qualities and commenting on them. Thank you for watching and God bless.

Love the “Ron’s call out” haha sometimes it’s hard to tell at the beginning with Ethan 😂 like father like son

[@markrichardson7457]

Glad to see Ethan is continuing the family tradition of Date Nights and seems to have learned his craft very well.

[@kennethdavis7055]

Ron Pratt you doing A very very good job when it comes to the hard works that I see you and your family and friends do for your clients in times of their needs that you for your service. God is working in your life. Please keep up the good work please? God bless you so very much. This is Kenneth from North Carolina

[@steveweideman6417]

I must say I love the two for one, thank you Ron. Ethan you are becoming more and more like your dad, who I am sureis very very proud of you. Ron, you and Mama Pratt, sure a great job raising Ethan. Very big props to both of you.

[@doublel7337]

I prefer watching a complete recovery, and then showing the other. I will watch what ever you put up, just being honest. God Bless !

[@-ray-h]

Glad to see you back in the saddle Ron... 2 in one video... good to see You and Ethan out on the road being safe even thou it's not together. Awesome videos guys... !!!

[@susan2610]

Ethan's more of a man that ANY of those people making negative comments about him will EVER be...! From a physiologist's point of view, People who make negative comments about others are are "Trying" I repeat "Trying" to establish a sense of purpose in their own pathetic life by degrading others. (This is textbook)... - Ron You and Your wife have done an EXCELENT job of raising Ethan and he is by far doing wonders at his age of 21... He is an incredible individual providing so much positive to society it's amazing...! Keep up the GREAT work Ethan You are loved and appreciated by more people than you'll ever know...!❤💯👍

[@chriswilford3576]

Absolutely 👍, I’m impressed with his ability and how he speaks to clients 😊😊😊

i have to say ron you taught ethan well,he is flawless with the jobs he does.he secured that car on the flatbed so fast,you should be very proud of him.ron ethan has your positive attitude and being very respectful.gets along with customers great.takes pride in his job

[@bartsargant2635]

Great double video of your nightly runs. Always a pleasure watching your team do their utmost to treat the customer (or officers/firemen) with the most respect. And careful caring work ethics, the best I have seen in years. Being a senior, l don't see that much anymore. thrilling to witness even on video. i loved Ethan's last line, "This ones ugly but so am l.") Very funny but not true sir. You are a handsome, hardworking, respectful young gentleman and Lilly is a lucky lady. always your senior subscriber Bart S.

[@sandy1653]

Thanks for taking us along for the ride again Mr. Ron. Also, this is a fun way to clip together some shorter recoveries into a nice long video I could watch over my break. As Always, appreciate the effort you put into making these.

[@susanowens6393]

I do! Watch him all the time. Ron and his crew are professionals.

[@hanifmusa9182]

Ron ., Ethan .....you two have taken me on an informative journey; I'm hooked for life .

[@alanstant9356]

Twice the action in this video, Ron. Very awesome, and God bless you guys, too.

[@carolmimiwienecke7634]

It's nice to see father and son working together but separately. Glad to see you are better Ron but Ethan sounds sick now. Great video

[@rickeh100]

Respect is the universal deescalation strategy. When everyone is working for a common purpose people tend to get along better. Ron you get it! Understanding some people are just miserable all the time !

[@MattyMatt80]

Hello ladies and gentlemen as always, I’m very confused as if to know if it’s either Ethan or Ron narrating the videos and to my surprise it’s both of them. You guys sound so much alike it’s amazing. Great family! Great company! Great respect for your hard work and dedication to the job. Great video!! I love this channel. Especially since i myself am a former heavy duty recovery operator out of the Lower upstate New York area.

[@davidgates1122]

A lot of truck drivers wouldn't have filled those holes in. Props to him.

[@Kevin-go2dw]

Good to see the driver leveling the gravel. You can see by the shovel he is more use to snow than gravel, but it was getting the job done.

[@Brian75-ej5mn]

Awesome job by both Ron and Ethan keep up the awesome job

[@robt2151]

Good gesture, refilling the holes. I suspect that many people would not bother.

[@13BGunBunny]

Oooh! A twofer! Great job guys. Stay safe and God bless.

[@missjfoulk01]

I'm afraid I don.t like the jumping back and forth. I'd rather just have one job after the other. But I do LOVE your viceos!

[@cardoctor2k9]

Hey Ethan, just a little tip for the straps, it’s generally easier to pull the strap through if the ratchet isn’t in the “unlock” position, next time, try having the handle pointing upwards or even almost closed. This should make it easier to pull the strap through. Another great video though guys, keep up the great work

[@morriewyatt6234]

Nicely done both Ron and Ethan. The easy ones are welcome once in a while, though better if it's not at 2AM. I hope you are feeling improved Ron. As a lifelong chronic asthmatic myself, I know all too well what it's like to struggle for that next breath.

[@adairwilkinson6916]

Your work ethic is beyond reproach Ron & Ethan. Whilst Missouri slumbered, the Pratt’s were toiling on!! Best Wishes Roy W UK

Keep up with the good work ron an team love watching your videos on KZbin God bless

[@dirtguy6537]

Getting fancy Ron getting duel content really like it.

[@Dan-uv5lw]

The problem is we get a bit of each clip. While we watch Ethan, We can not see what Ron is doing. This should have been two separate episodes instead of channel switching like television.

[@HiddenWindshield]

@@Dan-uv5lw "While we watch Ethan, We can not see what Ron is doing." What the heck are you talking about? These are recordings edited together, it's not a live television show. If you absolutely _must_ think of it that way, you should know that one side was "paused" while the other was showing.

[@bonniebecker3254]

@@Dan-uv5lw I'll bet Ron had a lot of fun doing the cut and paste to put this video together. It was fun to watch it too. It's a little different and we get to enjoy seeing both our fave guys.

[@tomwest8663]

​@@Dan-uv5lwwait, what? Nothing missed in each recovery. It was just two (2) videos in one (1). They both picked up where they left off, I don't know what you're taking about. Good job Ron !!!!!

As a Canadian we take no offence to people not wanting to live in Canada during the winter, it does get very cold up here. Summers do get hot too though.

[@Muksanim2012]

Almost like a TV show where the scenes flip back and forth. Neither rain, snow, sleet. fog nor darkness of night will keep the Pratts away. The truck being stuck wasn't the driver's fault. The owner of the property needs to provide a hard surface for trucks.

[@TimIvins]

I like watching Ron, he's my go to guy I've been watching him for years, I learned alot from watching his video's

[@BulletNoseBetty]

Ron, it depends on which part of Canada you live in. The west coast and parts of southern Ontario don't get too cold, but our on the Prairies? Try -55 degrees. At that temperature, it doesn't matter whether it's Celsius or Fahrenheit!

[@stephendx935]

An interesting way to present two jobs. Taking it that the jobs were about the same time of night. Love it.

[@rcatyvr]

Eh-hem. In the last two years I've had a total of of 2" of snow and temperatures almost never below freezing by more than a degree or so.. Vancouver BC, Canada. Tonight, clear, dry, 44.6 ˚F. Not to bad in comparison.

[@helenmorelli1101]

I love watching your channel for several reasons. First and foremost because I know there won't be profanity. Often, my grandchildren watch with me because they learn things about trucking; they are homeschooled and this type of learning is not in book learning.

17:50 Pretty sad that society is so messed up that you had to announce that you're not prejudice, you just like warmer weather. I love the split video of you and Ethan. I know that it takes more time to edit, but I hope to see more of these. But it's your channel, your company, your time Thank you to you and your team

[@johnslowikowski8847]

I love warm weather to ron.

[@Embermist69]

Loved the video smash up, that said I am more of a fan of two separate videos even though it’s just one video. Also I have read that some have difficulty at times figuring out if it’s Ron or Ethan. Best way I can tell is Ron’s pitch is just a tad bit higher then Ethan’s, it’s not by much however it’s there to my ears. That may help some folks out if Ron doesn’t have any note cards up to say who is who. 🙂

🇨🇦 No offence taken. Here in southern Ontario, it’s a generally toss up as to whether we’ll have snow for/on Christmas. In fact, the most southern part of the province is (latitude wise) into California.

I like this style video with the 2 separate jobs.
