A YouTube Fan Needs A Tow!!! Off To Work We Go

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching. This is another full 4K video!!! Today we are surprised to receive a call from a viewer and fan from out of state who is working a contract and needs a tow as well as some repairs. Ethan and I take the Little Pete #10 our Peterbilt 337 with a Miller Industries, Century 4024, 20 ton towing and recovery unit to get our new customer's truck back to our shop for repairs. No "ARC" nemesis, but it is raining...so I hope this qualifies as a decent Ron Pratt video. The nut came off the input shaft on the new power divider. Thankfully, the owner of the truck caught the problem before it created too much damage. We are able to get him back on the road and earning money, where he should be. I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

You are blessed to have a son to drive so you can sit in the passenger seat. Let him drive all the time. Let him record videos. Let him do all the things. I lost my 28 year old son in August this year. He died of a traumatic brain injury when a car hit him while he was biking. We are in grief.

@RonPratt Жыл бұрын

My sincere condolences. I understand grief as I lost my dad last year. However, I can't understand the grief of losing a child. My prayers are with you and your family. May God ease your pain and comfort you in your loss.

@@RonPratt Thank-you for your kindness. I lost my dad in 2019. I was devastated. I want to tell you that you have a very special youtube channel. Your outreach is further than you might expect. I have no words to describe the pain I experience over losing my son Jantzen. He was good and kind and a hard worker. I would have gladly taken his place if I could have. I have been completely humbled. God has me now where he needs me.

@RonPratt Жыл бұрын

Again, I can't imagine what you are feeling. My wife and I were talking to a friend yesterday about how I was dealing with the loss of my dad. Even though it has been difficult, God has used that tragedy and grief to teach me and others. There are also some good things that have come from his death, such as a much stronger relationship between my mother and I. We may never understand the "why", but we can have faith that God will see us through and use such experiences as lessons to strengthen us and/or others.

Quite the transition from some of the early videos when Ethan went along, to videos like today's. He used to come across as a kid that only tagged along because dad/grandpa made him. Now he shows an active interest in the business. I wish Ethan all the success that he strives for. Ron, I wish upon you a very Merry Christmas. May you, your family, friends, and workers all be safe, especially as this storm presents extra dangers for all who work outside. For anyone else reading this, may this holiday season bring you joy in whatever capacity that is for you.

It is really sad how the country has really went to Hell. When I was a boy, my brother and I would mow lawns to make a few dollars. We'd drag that old mower all over town cutting sometimes as many as 10 yards a day on the weekends and during the Summer. I'd give a lot to see us heading back to those days. Merry Christmas to all at Midwest Truck and to all of their viewers.

I know it does feel strange being in the passenger seat but the more Ethan does things as next in command it will build confidence in his abilities to do other things. You want him to "take ownership" of the business at least on the know how side of things. But I have seen you work from the last 3-4 years you know how to give things up and you understand how to train others.

Ethan is learning pretty well. I've noticed his shifting has gotten a lot smoother. He just needs a little reminder about trying to stop or slow down when loaded on wet, snow or my least favorite, icy roads. Let's hope he remembers before mother nature teaches him the hard way. Over all, he's doing a fine job on learning the family business. I'm sure within a few years, he'll be ready to take over for Dad like you did.

Hey Ron, love your videos. I do not know about out in your area but where I am at the problem with keeping stores open is not that people are not willing to work but the stores are not paying a living wage and the younger generations are not willing to roll over and take it like our generations did.

@robt2151 Жыл бұрын

If you pay your staff more then you have to charge your customers more and most of them won't like that. In a free-market non-monopoly market customers can take their trade elsewhere which, in turn, threatens the viability of the business and the continuity of employment. On the other hand, underpaid staff are unhappy staff and that can adversely affect the customers too.
