JUST A HOP, A SKIP, AND A SINK!!! CAUGHT US A KIA FISH!!!

Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!! I hope my viewers are enjoying the new 4K videos!!! Today, we take a hop, a skip, and a sink, as Ethan will say, into the Whitewater River!! Someone was driving an unfamiliar road at night and missing the curve at a pretty good speed it would appear. The little Kia that could (alternate title) not fly, no matter how hard it tried. After missing the curve, we can see the vehicles tracks, see where it was airborne, bottomed out, went airborne again right into the river, then rolled onto its roof. Thankfully, only part of the little Kia was submerged and the driver was able to escape with minimal injuries. The Missouri State Highway Patrol requests we bring our rotator out to fish the little Kia out of the River before heavy rain sets in later that day. We take our flagship Peterbilt 389X equipped with a Miller Industries Century 1150R rotator towing & recovery unit to recover the SUV from the river and bring our Peterbilt 337 equipped with a Miller Century LCG12 rollback, flat-deck, tilt-tray, depending upon what part of the globe you come from. Be sure to watch until the very end....you might just see one of my infamous Pratt falls...LOL. We all have a good time and laugh, which is nice. Hey, I'm glad we are having fun while working!!! I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

OK.. HIGH pucker factor as you drove Tator over that bridge. Love to know what it is weight rated at. Since that is indeed a moving waterway, I'm amazed the police allowed it to sit in there for 3 days. I think the fact that the yank-em rope had enough pressure on it to make the carriage slip is impressive as to what they can take!Have a great day Ron, excellent video, and I got to be number 14 to hit that like button!

Usually those bridges are rated pretty good for combines and semis hauling grain. But, yes, they should have a sign with the bridge ratings.

@richardreid6377 Жыл бұрын

I would take a look under the bridge; but not really concerned about driving over it. (Too narrow to think about setting up on it even if it weren't too far away.) This road serves farms; so it surely sees tractors and probably loaded grain trucks regularly.

Awesome Job guys…!!! Always good to see a job where there is no traffic going by…! Those head sets are worth their weight in gold too…! Another reason I love watching your videos Ron is I’m always amazed at all the buttons you have at your fingertips to push…! Combine that with all the lights and other mechanical hooks, cables and equipment you have, to me it’s just an awesome profession to be proud to work with helping people… I know from watching your videos there are extreme potential dangers all the time but as you have shown us… You have to be extremely cautious and have eyes in the back of your head to see EVERYTHING…!!! Another enjoyable aspect of your videos is… Almost guaranteed that no job is the same… Always something different…! LOL “rewatching me busting my Butt”… Ron sorry for the Pratt fall but It’s awesome to see your humor about yourself… Love that about you!!! Love that you have fun when you can guys in a safe way… Love your references from the TV & movies… Forest Gump and Dukes of Hazzard… Glad nobody was hurt…! Nice Video guys…! Thanks…! ps… gonna have to find you a toy turtle for your dash now…!

@roberthouseholder1902 Жыл бұрын

Like several others, I'm curious as to the weight rating of that bridge. Too many close calls as a truck driver for 39 years, so I always question bridge capacities. Hope to stop in and visit one day, maybe some of that knowledge will miraculously transfer in to my cranial vortex! Great work as always. Thanks for what you do and how you do it! Robert H.

@whatsmynameagain691 Жыл бұрын

I'm guessing that bridge has a pretty high weight capacity since it's on a rural farm road where farm equipment (combine harvesters, tractors, trucks etc.) travel over it, so it has to be strong enough to support that kind of weight. Also, keep in mind that the GVWR of Ron's Rotator is 73,000 LBS, and on another video Ron said that he weighed Tator on a CAT truck scale and it registered 72,300-72,500 LBS (sorry, I can't remember the exact weight), so we know that bridge can support at least 72,500 LBS. Stay safe and GOD BLESS.

@MOMKAT1WV Жыл бұрын

We live in a rural, hilly to mountainous state. Lots of small low capacity bridges. Now we have frack gas production. And some onteresting bridge incidents. Heavy equipment, 6--8 axel dump trucks, filled to capacity. Crushed all the culverts, so now we have water overflow and icing across roads in winter. But bridges are a real consideration

My mom used to live near the Shenandoah river and had to cross a bridge like that but it was a lot closer to the water than that. When it rained a lot the river would cover the bridge and the 50 or so residents would have to park on the other side of the river and walk up the mountain after crossing on a foot bridge about 20 feet over the River. Her bridge didn't have the "guard rails" just a slab of concrete. Love what you guys do God bless
