Hey what ever happened to that sweet old lady we raised the money for did she get a new car?
@ben dickel pretty sure Ron released video's on this. Giving her the check, and pretty sure they fixed the old car.

If you ever get mad or impatient when you see a emergency vehicles coming and you have to pull over or slow down or whatever, just remember that those guys are going to help someone who's having one of the worst days of their lives (or maybe even dying) and if you're ever in that situation you'd want everyone to get out of their way. That thought really hit home for me the day a car changed lanes into me on my motorcycle and sent me sliding and tumbling down the freeway in rush hour traffic. Thank God I wasn't seriously injured but I was mighty glad when the cops and medics showed up.
First responders include tow truck drivers in my book because they are there on scene before anyone else other than fire, ems, and police. They don't get enough credit for the job they do. It's not as easy as it looks and the availability to respond is crucial because the people needing your service don't have all day to wait and it messes with your money and most people don't care to let money slip away that easy to competition.
Well said and glad you are alive to share the story! I tow for our state police and i try to explain the EXACT SAME THING. We are not there to inconvenience anyone by slowing up the flow of traffic, im there to help get the flow of traffic back to its normal pace as FAST as possible, and as SAFE as possible. And the more they hinder me from getting to the scene, in turn is actually delaying them and everyoe around them. Glad you are okay. Stay safe.
What irritates me the most is when you're running traffic on a bad wreck and/or fatality, and people driving by have the nerve to flip you off for their day having been minorly inconvenienced. Some people need to get over themselves and recognize that there's something much bigger going on than them being a few minutes late to their destination. No one is out there trying to make your day rough, we're just doing a job no one else wants to do, and doing our best to keep everyone else safe from secondary accidents.
all over the world theses men and women and first respondents to accidents are angels of the roads - I hope you all get the best reward from what you do
No matter how bad you think your day is going, there's always someone somewhere that is having a worse day. When I was 15 years old, I had a Chemotherapy operation on my leg. It made me so sick that l lost 25# in 4 days. I felt awful. There was a child in the nest room screaming at the top of his lungs. He finally stopped. Later, I asked my mother why he was crying and what happened to him. She d=said that he had died. I have never been judgmental on how someone feels since. And that happened in 1959.
“I’m just going to do a quick tie down.” Still more secure than most tows on the road. Nice job. I love the code videos.
I do too. Ron can you do more code 3 videos.
@@bentouchstone7260 well... i think its just a mix of those calls not being as comon, and if they happen its most likely a pretty bad crash meaning that by their own rules they cant show the video on YT. Leading to them being not seen as often on the channel
Ron, I liked the way that you waited until the driver was loaded into the Ambulance before you went to work on removing the vehicle. That showed not only professionalism, but respect for others as well.God Bless You and Your Family. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Carolyn Jones DITTO = CLASS!!!!
Yeah, wouldn't show much class to tow the car with the victim still in it, would it.
@@imapaine-diaz4451 Re read the comment, he said until the driver was in the ambulance.
Ron I just wanted to say thank you for the time you take to video the accidents you go on also for explaining everything to us.
Inspite of the accident, 😢 that guy on the motorcycle made me laugh!! “Daydream” Lovin’ Spoonful..I remember that song as a kid. The Policeman chuckled too. We all need a little humor in this world. Love your video’s. I think I should find a Tow Truck driver for a husband so I can hear all the stories. I like the ones pulling big rigs out. I rode with my fella for 5 years long haul. We were blessed to not have any thing happen. Saw some crazy things though. R.I.P. Ernie. Those darn cigs got him. Lung Cancer at 64..
I work first response and honestly it's alot less professional and stern sounding as people make it out to be. Yes we keep a level of professionalism and are always fully respectful but if the patient is in a position for a long time and isn't really really screwed. We tend to joke around as other guys are working to remove them from the sistuation. A good smile and laugh is good for all parties it helps lower stress in the patient and reduces longer recovery cause they got in a bad mindset.
As always Ron, you are a very courteous and respectful individual! I love your video, since we can not only see but live everything you do! Keep it and God blee!
Hi Ron, just want to say what a great team. Fantastic to see individual teams working for the larger team. Wish I had this at work, always them and us.
You keep losing your phone because your moving too quick!!! Any first responder knows you don't run into an incident, you walk and move deliberately!!! Lol!!! Love your videos, and I think all states should make tow services first responders. You guys don't get the credit and respect you deserve!!! If I ever need to look for a new job and a can find a new state to live in, I'm coming to you, because I respect what you do and how you do it!!! God bless you, your family, and your crew for all you do!!!
It is truly a blessing that there were no serious injurys. Be well. 🙏God Bless🙏
Hi Ron, Talon, Mike and the rest of the Midwest crew. Just found your channel a couple weeks ago and love your videos. Just a reminder for the others watching to remember to slow down, move over when you see lights on the side of the road be it police, fire, EMS, towing, road workers, etc because yesterday while working traffic control the owner of a local towing company was taken out during a secondary accident by someone who wasn't paying attention. His injuries were pretty bad, including a severely broken leg, but he is expected to fully recover.
We need people like you, you’re a prime definition of an American MAN.
Heck yes.
Ron, thank you for editing your videos. I look at them to see how you solve problems; and they are very interesting. I also watch Svitzer Salvage - also very interesting. Helping my son with his specialized logistics company, I spend hours on the net learning about the trucking business. It has been a lot of fun - so far! We have a four axle tractor towing a four axle trailer with a cargo load of 95,000 lbs. We used a tow once. Someone backed into the front of our KW W900L. We borrowed another tractor, put the broken one on our trailer and a big sign on the side: "CAT headed to the CAT doctor!" But I always appreciate you fellows who are often the true first responders. I have been in that position once, more than 50 years ago, responding to a drowning. It is emotionally tough. So thanks again for the editing.
It amazes me how profesional and nice you are. I know it shouldn’t surprise me, but unfortunately that’s the world we live in, not everyone is like you. It is very interesting to see how you work, and even if some people think that the code policy is unnecessary, I believe you’re a life savior. You do not only clear the roads to make sure people can safely and efficiently get to their destinations, but also have training to act as a first responder. Love your vids, support.
I recently found your channel here Ron and I have to say I really enjoy watching your videos. I never had the experience driving a big rig recovery vehicle but have worked a lot of accident scenes with my roll back. Great content bud...
Love watching you. That tractor pull was interesting, got all of the neighbors involved. Thank you
Ron love your videos I am a tow truck driver myself. And you are a get teacher and all around person .keep up the great work.
Don't scratch the paint never gets old. Lol
I'm annoyed when people say that to me, it's like trying to be funny while at the same time you knowing you're making a stupid joke and you having to make some stupid response just to make him feel like he said something funny
You act so much like Mater! I love how you have trinkets of Mater, and a ringtone of him, too. You are an awesome guy.
I pray that the person has a full recovery and I pray that you and your family have a safe and wonderful day.
Ron thank you for sharing with us GOD bless everyone
Ron, your steering wheel needs centering on that Ford!
Boy does it ever! Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that.
I also feel that steering wheel is not original to that truck. The interior of the truck looks like a slightly more modern Ford than that steering wheels from. but yeah that being off center would drive me nuts.
Thought the same thing lol
@@napsterbater I wonder if something happened to that truck that caused the airbag to go off (and maybe bent something in the front end). So they replaced the wheel with something that would fit and got back to work.
Nobody cares .
My cat and I have been watching you and your awesome crew for a long while. Just figured how to work this comment thingy and now I’m a happy 83 year old. God Bless.
Ron 2 things standout for me. As a engineer I can appreciate you skills and knowledge as a Christian I love your values
Amen
It's nice to have a repair shop and a storage yard together 👍👍
I only recently began watching your videos. This one surprised e because I can actually put a face with your voice. Thank you!
0:18 the wheels painted on that RV were playing tricks with my mind. Those self-retracting ratchet straps are an awesome idea. Gonna have to get some!
I enjoy Ron, Talon, and Mike work there magic.
I'm glad she is going to be ok. It's amazing how a Momentary Distraction can change our life. Another fine video Ron!
These rigs and equipment are amazing! Makes the trucks I used to drive look like horse and buggy wagons
Thank you Ron, you make it look so easy! I would of been out there for a while, Thanks to you I learned a better way of doing things
Sad day in Texas. Much love and God's blessings to you and all of Midwest Trucks
Those self retracting straps are are a real time saver. I use them for my ATV when I trailer it. Nice work.
god job Ron you never fail when comes to helping people out
Said it before and i'll say it again. Your a good man Ron. God bless you sir...
Everything looks so much more relaxed as in getting everything done safely, efficiently and correctly in your part of the world. I’m a tow truck operator in Australia and everything is so rushed because every one just wants to get out of there so we never have the time to do in correctly on scene. Looks like I need to make a move and start towing in America where I can get the job done correctly and be satisfied about it. I absolutely enjoy watching your videos and love seeing towing from a different part of the world
That's just in his part of his state. All around him it's like you describe, only more for safety than simply wanting to get out of there. People refuse to move over or slow down, and somewhere in the country at least one operator a day dies because they get hit by the dimwit not paying attention flying towards them. Some even pay attention right at the last second, get target fixation and literally drift right into the back of the tow truck, ambulance, cop car, utility truck, wrecked vehicle... etc or into the worker themselves wearing high vis. Yeah, there are fines for maintaining speed and hugging the whole recovery or work operation when you don't have to, and criminal charges if you hit something in that scene even if there are no injuries, but people still don't catch on. Usually it's distraction by cellphone, sadly.
Great video as always teaching us something new. You always show such respect and consideration for the people you help and interact with. It is a pleasure to see this. Thank you for the videos.
Great video Ron glad everyone involved is ok
Hey ron! I'm going to get my Cdl soon.once i start driving if i get stuck near scott city i know who to call! LOL Thank for all you do and god bless.
I am a tow truck driver in Sweden for Falck and driving a Iveco Eurocargo roll back bed. The procedures and routines are similar to yours, but we have a lot more to do... I'm sure you edited out a bunch, but still similar. One thing I don't like, is that we don't have emergency lights or sirens... absolutely love your work and channel!
Not all services like this are allowed lights and siren in the US, it is a state by state choice.
Sir thank for making these videos it reminds me of the 17 years that I was able to be in the business I'm unable to work anymore due to a bad back injury
Thank you for your work.
I love watching your channel. If i lived closer i would apply for job. You seem like the kind of person that cares and i would consider one of the best to work with.
Quick, efficient and safe. That’s how you do it!
Im starting in this bussiness, good info about holding the brake to slide the tyres, i was a hard journey the other day dealing with it. Thanks Ron!
i enjoy your videos i do some towing up here in Maine and your tips have really helped out thanks and may GOD bless and protected you.
On the Weather Channel they have a couple of shows from Canada which highlight the work of heavy tow truck operators. They show a lot of different techniques for doing vehicle and semi-truck and trailer recovery. Well worth watching. "Highway thru Hell" is one and the other is named (I think) "Highway 401".
Didn’t know you were a Brother. Me too. pM Oklahoma. God Bless and hope you and yours had a Blessed Christmas.
I have to thank you for showing me those automatic ratchet straps! I just got a pair last week and I will never buy another Old School ratchet again.
RON ILL NEVER UNDERSTAND DRIVERS SOME DEFINITELY DON'T WANT TO PULL OFF AND GIVE EXPERIENCES VEHICLES THE RIGHT OF WAY, thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences and patience.
I like the skid pad. Make me think every time I think I’m something to back off and be safe.
You do aGreat job I’m glad I found your channel your videos are well done. Fun to watch unfortunately someone else had a bad day but at least your there to help. Bless you.
Thoughts, continued prayers and Blessings from OH ..... Another job safely, quickly and efficiently done. It continues to amaze me, and I'm sure other viewers and subscribers as well, how well everyone on
Why are their dislikes on this video he should be getting a lot of likes and zero dislikes because he helps out a lot and his crew
Love the videos Ron! Now do an alignment on that truck!!
I love that your state allows you to have a siren. That is really cool in my book.
Ron always does a great job and is quick and efficient. Scott city police have a awesome uniform patch. i have been collecting patches for almost 5 years now.
This was the first video that I watched of your. Have enjoyed all of them.
Enjoyed watching the video it’s fun to see from the drivers view being a former dispatcher back quite a few years didn’t have all video capabilities of today
And there sits that 87 Dodge Pick-up............ I think that car you picked up is at least going to need a paint job..
I can watch this for days..Canada Veteran hospital I stuck at :)
Great job rob. Love the brother commodery between you police a fire.
Good job as always. I do love them straps. I have two at present but I use them a lot!! Thanks for posting information about them.
Good work, Ron and all......really enjoy your YOU TUBE stuff !!!!
Ron, i can see that you have a lot of respect among the people you work with. Well, as always, full of professionalism and you think about two steps forward :D Greetings from Poland :)
Yeah that’s super cool.
Thanks Ron. My, you are so efficient .... even without Mike. God Bless!
It’s cool to see that your certified in extrication! That really makes you useful! If the fire trucks can’t get there, you can! That’s awesome.
Ron, I’m a driver for a local company and I just wanted to thank u first for the service to the ppl that you provide and for the videos. Also as well as enjoying them I’ve noticed you always say God bless at the end. I’m so proud that you stand on God for our country. I pray that God keeps his hand of mercy on u and always brings u home safe to your family. And I ask for prayers as well I’m losing my family only God can fix it so please pray for me as well. Thank u Justin from Kentucky.
Very interesting to see old mate looking back like while reversing at the start. We were taught during our EV training only to use the side mirrors. In fact our final day of assessments included having to reverse an F-250 through a timed obstacle course in reverse, and only allowed to use side mirros.
The never ending story of the full back lot lol
Thanks Ron, you and the 🚑 🚒 Emergency Responders are like one big happy family ☺ im glad she was not hert 🙏 🖒
Merry Christmas Ron and the Mid-West Truck Co.
Merry Christmas and God bless!!!
Great video Ron thanks for sharing have a great day
New Subscriber!!! Be safe Ron! Much love from Iowa!!!!
Great idea of pressing on brakes, never thought of it, another fine job.
great video as always Ron. God Bless and stay safe.
Holy crap you got that up quick. Man! You're awesome! thanks for the videos
Hey I'm new to your channel I'm from Johnson City Tennessee I really enjoyed watching your channel for the first time have a blessed day and a great weekend
Kathy Poindexter Knoxville Tn here.
I did not realize that you are a brother until now. I'm sure you're an asset to your Lodge and to the Craft.
Man, I hate this! I had no intention of getting into watching this channel. A few days later and I am still watching. This is the same thing that happened to me just out of curiosity, I watched a kid finding stuff diving in a river. Can't stop watching that either. Surprising what can be so fascinating.
This good to know that you are great and God bless you
Oops!!! .... Sorry! To continue, it's amazing how well everyone on-scene work together. Great cooperation and respect for each other. And toward the end, I even got to watch the Erickson self-retracting straps in use!! Lol .. I need to thank Ron Pratt for showing them in use in an earlier video. Until then I had never known they were even available! I could no longer resist, so bought a set of 8 ... Haven't used them yet, but looking fwd to it. So thank you to Ron for explaining them. I own many straps and ratchets, but they're all the conventional style. Again, many thanks for what you do. Continued prayers for your safety and wellness, and again, many thnx for ALL you do. You're much appreciated. God Bless you all.
Great job. Enjoyed the edited version.
We have those exact spreader and cutters I love their battery operated. We also keep our older version of cutters and spreads that or hydraulic driven. But by them being battery operated it saves a few minutes and they’re just a strong.
Thank you for what you do every day and to fire department and cops that have your back on the road from again from Michelle madson from happy valley in Oregon and god bless to you and your family and friends and i will always love watching and im gald that you get to keep all of the family and friends and i will always love and i do believe in god bless to you and your family
Great driving brother. Just my advice as an EMT, come to a complete stop at all stop signs and red lights when running code. The extra couple seconds it takes are more than worth the safety and ensuring you and the people around you get to go home in one piece. God bless and keep up the good work.
Ron you are awesome and you know what to do right away I love that about you to👍👍👍👍👍
I learned that in skid pad training in an eighteen wheeler. A skidding tire always wants to lead. Nothing like eighty thousand pounds to teach you that. The San Bernardino county sheriff thought i was impressive the way I slid that truck sideways over a hundred feet on the skid pad. Then pulled it out. Never missing a beat. Then down shifted and went out on the driveway. The scariest thing was later when I had to do it on the freeway in San Diego while Cal Trans was jumping over the guardrail. Later Cal Trans called my company saying they had never seen anything like it and that again I never missed a beat. However they all needed new underwear. God bless
Been there. A company that i worked for years ago sent me to a defensive driving course that had a skid pan, all kinds of fun putting 18 wheels sideways. Used what i learned there many times.
Do or did you drive for Schneider?
I wish controlling cars that lost traction was part of basic drivers' ed
Ivan Ferguson I drove a truck for 15 years, and never drove my truck to the point that I needed skid pad training. I usually just slowed down enough to accommodate weather, traffic, and the unforeseeable! Once, while convoying with two other company drivers, we encountered stopped traffic on the blind side of a curve. The guy up front, locked up and jack knifed! The guy in the middle locked up, slid to one side, ended up on the shoulder, and almost wiped out two cars, that were in the right lane beside him, and forced them out of the way! I slowed down, and watched form the rear!! I wasn't going fast enough to be surprised, was paying attention ahead, around the curve, was the first one on the C.B. to give a warning, the one that jackknifed was a little busy to be talking on the radio! I never locked up, was able to maintain control of my vehicle, and didn't force anyone else to do any evasive maneuvers, to dodge me!! I had a deer jump out in front of me, late one night! I did stab the brakes hard, and caused a wheel to lock, but gave right up when I started to twist, a little!! It was raining, was low visibility, and was isn't an area that a deer was not likely to appear! The driver behind me was impressed with the fact that he saw a little bit of trailer waggle, but it got right back in line as I released the brakes, again!! And yes, I had anti-lock trailer and tractor brakes!! But the trailer still wiggled! Oh, and I missed the deer! A release and reapply of the brakes, allowed me to actually maneuver, not slide out of control!! Once, in Pennsylvania, I was empty, rolling in heavy rain, and on a slick concrete roadway, when the traffic light changed to red! As I started slowing down, I noticed the trailer was coming around me! I didn't feel a thing! I just released the brakes, and steered lightly towards the left, to get back in front of my sliding trailer! It seems as though it was too far around, to get back behind me! But the maneuver worked, traffic behind me saw the problems, and slowed down, and I was able to make a complete stop, in my own lane, but going a little further than I wanted to, into the intersection! I didn't block it, and was on the air horn, even after the truck came to a stop! All was well, and no soiled undergarments!! Was driving the one of the northern Ohio cites one night, in the rain (it's always raining during these incidents!!) and encountered an unexpectedly sharp curve to the left, with an entrance lane to the right, and the large area of painted stripes on the road way!! I drifted into the paint, and lost traction! I would have ended up in full jack knife, in the ditch, on the right side of the entrance ramps, had I not reacted correctly. No brake application, and believe it or not, I turned a little more to the right, to reduce the force into the left turn, and reduce the force on the tires! Luckily, no one was coming down the entrance ramp, so I just made the turn a little bit wider. I did encroach upon the entrance lane, but very little! I steered lightly, stayed off the brakes, and realized later that I had in fact, disengaged the clutch! I don't remember any training for that!! Or that I was doing it! All ended well. With no soiled undergarments! It don't take special training to be able to operate a large vehicle, during extreme situations, if you never put yourself into an extreme situation!! Don't panick, pay attention, and always expect the unexpected!! The telephone screen is never far enough ahead of you, to watch out for the unexpected!! If you have to prop yourself up on your elbows, or a knee from a leg propped up on the dash, don't expect to be able to react to the unexpected, until after you take the time to situate yourself back into a proper driving position!! And wrapping your sandwich back up, and putting back into your cooler, is never a good way to start an emergency maneuver! Emergencies never happen when you're ready for it!! Only when your sandwich is dropping lettuce into your lap!! Drive behind the wheel, eat behind the lunch counter! Sleep in the sleeper, not the drivers seat! When you play Pokemon on your cell phone, it's best to go ahead and park the truck first!!
@@Super1337357 People dont care to learn or panic anyways. I will say, its job security for me. Same as all the criminals and what not.
boy what a great alignment on both the car that crashed and your steering wheel! lol
Another great job Ron.
I love watching your video blogs :)
thank god it was not too bad. Ron you a great job
As always very professional
I couldn't imagine seeing a tow truck running code
Esp with non emergency lights. No reds or blues LMAO
The tow trucks up here in my state can only run code on the freeways and only if they have a contract with the state patrol to help clear the freeway and only when they are told to do so. Yes the tow trucks in my state can run blue and red or all blues so the can run code or they run just yellow and whites when not in a hurry.
@@stormtracker1 I've seen some other videos like this where the front of the tow truck does have red/blue lights (i'm almost positive they were his trucks also) and he even mentioned wig-wags.
The top priorities at a crash scene are saving lives, providing emergency medical care to the injured and extinguishing or preventing fire. The second priority is protecting the emergency workers while they provide those services but, an oft overlooked priority is clearing the wreckage to get traffic flowing normally again to prevent secondary accidents, which are sometimes worse than the primary crash. I’ve seen plenty of full speed rear end collisions which are frequently deadly. Allowing wreckers and tow trucks the ability to respond quickly makes perfect sense.
@@stormtracker1 He has lights on his truck(s). Drivers just don't yield to them. If in fact you are a first responder, you should appreciate the tow services which work with the police and fire departments and Emergency Management. You may leave once your job is done, but the police and some times Emergency Management have to stay until the crash scene is completely cleaned up. In Missouri, unless the law has been changed, there are tow trucks which have red and blue lights, are considered emergency vehicles and are first responders. Yes, I have issues with a couple tow agencies my county utilizes, but, I don't disrespect them because they are "just tow truck drivers" or because they are thought of as less than first responders. At least in Missouri, they are allowed to have sirens to get through traffic to get a crash scene cleaned up to get normal traffic moving again. That's more than a lot of cities and states allow.
Good video Ron.Hope the driver is okay. Stay safe.
Only experience will tell the operator where to put the flatbed, for the quickest mood efficient loading of the wrecked vehicle. Good work
Glad to see that some drivers are moving out of the way for you when your code 3.
@@mitchellme1435 yes he can, well not cut people off but he has red and blue lights on his tow trucks.
Extraction training doesn't cover putting the doors back on or in! Best part of the video... Stay safe out there...
I was involved in a crash 28-30 years ago that required extraction. The FD had to break out the back window on my '79 Dodge Aspen then connect a come-along to the rear bumper so they could draw the seat backwards as I was pinned between the steering wheel and the driver's seat. I sustained a fracture in my left ankle, 3 huge bruises on my chest from the impact with the steering wheel and 30 stitches in my face when my head hit the dash. I was not wearing my safety belt. Needless to say that I learned my lesson to always wear my safety belt.
You should show how you get the vehicle back off the truck after picking up something like this. Love the videos, keep up the good work!
I like your theme song Ron.
Great job love your videos thank you
