Reminded me of pulling a calf out of a ditch by one hind leg! I really appreciate how polite you are to bystanders who want to chat, whether it's the driver, a relative, LEO or just someone who happens by. You can somehow keep up a conversation and still get your work done quickly & efficiently.

Ron, love the way you and Tallon work together. Seems like a pretty good kid.

The best thing about vehicle recovery in the winter time.....NO snakes!

Great video Ron as always. I thank God that the young man was not hurt. Thanks for sharing and God bless

Good to see Talon in a video. Its cool that he stopped in case you would need help.

Ron you and Talon Rock as Partners...Great job you guys..

Dear Mr. Pratt and crew. Thank you for the video and GOD Bless You All.

It is amazing what one can survive unscathed in a modern vehicle if one just commits to that one simple act of buckling up. Here in SC I get so frustrated reading each week how many, mostly young, teens and adults died needlessly in a given week simply because they did not use their seatbelt (or a helmet if on a motorcycle) -- so many end up launched through the windshield just to have their own vehicle land on them a moment later. It is terrifying enough to be in a bad crash and walk away with mere bruises, I can't imagine what their last moments must have been like. I'm grateful this young man was one of those who walked away unharmed, if not a bit shaken, and presumably took that extra couple seconds to buckle up -- better to lose some money to an accident than a life.

That is one lucky driver. Looks like they'll drop the car directly into the shredder. Winter recoveries like this on have to be tough, Ron. Stay safe!

I am glad to hear that nobody was injured in the wreck. I like your honesty in the part about the front suspension damage. God Bless brother Ron, stay safe out there and continue doing what you do.

It's funny how you turn your head and try to look up under the car with Ron to see where you want to hookup the chains ( hooks ). Lol

Fiat .. the only car you can load sideways on the rollback. Interesting the front end took such a hit and the airbags never deployed. I just wish my dad had been as mild mannered as you are with Talon. Would have made growing up a lot more fun! God Bless both of you!

Looks exactly how this morning was here. A few inches of snow sends drivers in a ditch. Went to take a young boy who was having surgery and saw a lot of cars sliding. I didn't slide because my car has studded snow tires.

I like the length of time you let the captions show. Many other are too short and you can't read them before they dis-appear.

What a Ride Glad the Kid is Ok. Great Job Talon And Ron.

Small car semi-big job. Had to chuckle when you kept dropping everything , then you said, "I think I'll walk around. I have some of the ice cleats, and they work. Stay safe Ron!

Hi, Ron, I love watching your video's, as you all ways explain what you are about and that makes worth watching thank you very much. Mick from England UK

I appreciate your professionalism, as a tow truck driver and your heart for God. My God bless you and keep you safe.

Hey Ron: I had my own trouble last night. Hit something on the road and had to call for a tow. The driver who responded said he met you at a truck show in Baltimore a few years ago. Tried to stayed safe while I was waiting, had cones out but will buy some flares today. Thanks for showing us how it's done! Stay safe!

I'm glad for the driver that this was frozen winter and not spring time when that ditch might have been full and the right side of the car underwater!

Omg so glad the grandson is ok and ty for explaining it in detail like that. Great job as always. I'm in central Illinois and I know we have had the same crazy weather here. Stay safe

Hey Ron, I’m not trying to sound over critical here. You know a WHOLE lot more than I do about this. However, I noticed the path of entry of that car when you arrived on scene. It seemed strange at first why the car was facing towards the opposite direction in the right hand ditch. I’m glad to see no one was hurt seriously. That had to be a hard hit. Thanks for your videos!

That grandson was lucky. Around 2003 or so when I worked for a railroad, had my only car vs. train collision. 16 year old kid driving granddads' 1965 Mustang tried to beat me across a railroad crossing, and stalled the engine with the front end in the foul. Tore off most of the front end with the plow of the lead locomotive, a 1972 EMD. I was going 8mph, never saw the impact from my side.......

that man son was so lucky and Ron u to guys did a good job getting the car out and back on the Road mate

Man, that little guy took a BIG hit! I'm guessing a total loss there - doesn't take much to tweak the whole structure of those little roller-skate cars. Good to hear the driver was uninjured! What a ride!! I was chuckling at the size of the wheels. Reminded me of the Yugo - my buddy had one of those in the late 80's. I remember popping the hood out of curiosity, and I found a piece of a metal brace that snapped, laid right on the CV axle, and had whittled away at it like a lathe. Looked like a beaver had gnawed on it, HAHAHA! A perfectly tapered cut. Was about 3/8" of metal left holding the axle together. I think he drove it another 200 miles like that before it snapped in 2. :D Thanks as always for the great videos. God bless.

I am impressed how you guys work in these conditions. I worked in Canberra, Australia twice for a few years each time working in offices and was snowed in a few times so getting to work was a mission on the bus all rugged up but the wind went straight through me. WOW you guys are terrific.

Glad the kid didn't get hurt. Always good when people doesn't get hurt or as bad. Sometimes you can't always avoid accidents. But another well done on your job. God Bless You and may God Be with you.

I just experienced my first ice storm on New Years Eve in Asheville NC. I've got 58 years of hurricanes under my belt though. I think I'm staying south. We have decades some times without a serious storm ;-). More power to y'all

A very fortunate young man. Great job Ron and Talon. Great teamwork!

It's nice to see someone as safety conscious as Ron here is, all to many are the exact opposite and are all to willing to blatantly risk their employee's lives (some will force the issue at threat of being fired) just to get something done a few minutes quicker or out of some misplaced idealism.

It's almost like Talon was trying to play horseshoes! You guys did a great job!

Another great job. You guys stay safe and warm.

Awesome recovery great job always be safe and have a wonderful time with your Job.

The time it takes you yo setup and do the job is nothing compared to what i have seen, thats why i like watching yours

Thank you for taking us along. Thank you

Ron I bet that was one of those times where you were glad to have that second truck there and have a better anchor point than just the rollback to a telephone pole

Somehow I get the feeling that those are summer tyres on that little bear cub, which would explain his little adventure. In any case thankfully everyone is okay and also great to see you work sir. Excellent channel.

You all are truly amazing....... blessings. 🙏👠👠

Great job Ron stay warm if you can

Everyone is a master in life of something! It depends on how you want to apply it you my friend or a master at rescues. You are polite kind and courteous and most of all knowledgeable about what you were doing take care and be safe out there

You always have such good videos. A lot of work, especially in the cold. Thanks Ron and God bless.

Professional service as always, great video Ron stay safe!

Ron thank you for sharing with us GOD bless everyone, from Kentucky

The short straps you used are similar to the axle straps I use on my car hauler. My car hauler is chains only and with a lot of the new small cars, there isn't anything to hook to and I have to use the 3 foot axle straps to secure the vehicle. I always wondered about them when I first started using them, but now seeing you drag one up and out of the ditch, I feel more confident about using them for interstate travel.

Good video ron stay safe and God bless

Good for you Ron on letting Talon do it his own way and not taking over. Thats the best way for people to learn.

Mr. Pratt, that Rotator of yours looks so pretty sitting in that snowy parking lot!

Another great recovery Ron. Those little cars are designed for those types of rides. That whole front end probably needs to be replaced. Thank God the guy was alright.

Thank you, Ron and Tallon for the video, keep up the good work 🙏

Great video good to hear the driver was not hurt all that cold weather is heading my way

Thanks again for your time to do the video and can't wait for the next one hope you and your family are well

The little Fiat actually held up pretty well for that impact it took and the driver was able to walk away. A tough tiny car.

You guys are amazing at what you do! Stay safe out there! God bless!

here we have ron in his natural habitat god bless

Ron, I admire your work ethic. I love hearing you huffing and puffing when you are attaching the chains, reminds me of me!! Keep up the good work and send my regards to Talon.

Thank God he wasn't hurt Ron. I would if the car did that he was definitely going to fast for the road conditions hope he learned an important lesson . Have a great weekend and God Bless!!!

Thank you for the video Ron and Take Care 😎👍🇬🇧.

Talon is a good man to have around. You have taught him well.

Love the videos, Keep up the great work! And yes Ice cleats are a must, I deliver Produce to Springfield, Tulsa, and Kansas City areas and this last Ice Storm KC had this last week left about 1/2 of ice everywhere, I was super thankful I had my ice cleats as it made walking from my truck to the stores so much safer LOL.

Glad that driver is okay and not hurt. Lucky guy

Glad the young man is ok. Wow that sounds like to rough rid he took. Keep up the good work Ron n be safe out there.

I seen a fiat hit a corner of a bridge and it broke the front wheels, struts and all out from under it. Driver actually ran away from the scene....DUI. Ron, as usual good job sir!!

Glad the person was not injured I'm new to your channel and sir you do a very professional job. God bless you.

Thought of you yesterday. Had to triple line snatch block two dead 18 wheelers up into the airplane. Took foooorrrrreeeevvvveerrr.

Thank you Mr. Pratt for making the video.

Ron, you were very informant on what you were doing. gave the gentleman. info as to what. you were going to do next, I like the comments you give while hooking up the car. To bad as to the damage to the vehicle but that showes what can happen when going to fast. Again good video & God bless.

Good video love them keep it up

The young man man who drove this car was accompanied by our Savior. Of that I am sure. Glad the rotator came by, hard recovery indeed. Blessings to you all.

Wishing you and your Crew all the best and continue to stay safe during work also during days God Bless

Great job as always Stay safe and God be with you

Enjoy your videos keep up the great job 👍 .A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE HOW DANGEROUS YOUR JOB IS. BE SAFE AND YOU AND YOUR CREW ARE IN MY PRAYERS

Ah the sound of ice cleats on pavement. There's a sound I haven't heard since I left Alaska. Good video as always thanks Ron.

Looks like one hell of a ride

Excellent job Ron. You're a true professional

Happy Father's Ron do enjoy your day,try not to work to hard keep up the good work that you are doing also keep the videos coming

I love watching your videos and you have a fantastic grew working for Midwest Truck, Inc. Thank you and stay safe.

This is why they were talking about not having these deep ditches right next to the roads, for safety reasons, if you happen to get off the side of the road, you have no room to recover. and this one was really deep also.

Another great rescue. Good job and God bless

Many years ago I was stationed at Fort Leonard Wood MO.Went to a local tire shop to have my studded snow tire removed,I think it was early March.Guy who ran the tire shop said I should wait until end of March,I laughed.Several days later I could not get out of the parking lot.Freezing rain about an inch of ice all around.After that as soon as studs were legal mine went on the car,stayed on until the day before they were illegal to run,in the spring.

In the years i drove a tow truck,I never once saw snow, let alone had to pull a car which slid off the road because of ice..The joys of living in the pacific tropical zone.

Mr, Pratt, One thing that comes up in all your videos ihow organized you are in tier wire. Whater your working with the rotator, the 10244 truck or a roll back. your never have to search for what you might need, You go to a locker on the truck and BANG. its there. The must be hundreds of little connectors, rings, straps, chains and straps, and all these things are right where you for them. Have a good day, sir.

The lad was lucky, that little Fiat took quite a whack and, like you say, they're not designed to take much ~ it's no Volvo !! Handy for you that Talon was passing with the bigger wagon, an extra pair of hands too.👍 Despite the slick conditions, these jobs look *so* much easier in daylight and without the wind and rain. I worked in a lot of grotty Scottish weather and I reckon I think better when the storm stops. Just a theory.😁 Stay safe and warm, Cheers for now, Dougie.

Hi Ron good recovery nice video stay safe buddy

Ron Pratt I think carthweeled would be the best way to say how he flipped it over. Videos like this show how important it is to slow down on slick roads, it don't take much to send you into a position as this. We just had a 3 day storm event pass in Oklahoma, rain then cold front which turned it into ice and the roads were a skating rink.

Good recovery, Ron

Ron I have basically been binge watching your videos and noticed something in this video. I know no real crazy weights or anything but the way you set the clevis up on the rim sling breaks one of your rules of rigging.

Hi Ron, for the young man to come away from that wreck, uninjured, the GAoftheU was surely looking down upon and protecting him

My parents came from Scotland my father worked on his parents farm and said that he would spend 20 minutes in front of the open fire before he could take his gloves off. Glad I was a first generation Australian. LOL

It is nice to look in the beginning to the sunscreen.

Don't you mean Polar Bear Cub? Keep up the great work! Your video's are the high light of my day..God Bless and Stay Safe

In a weather area like that, I would own an AWD SUV. Great coverage Ron!

Happy Father's Day To You and Your Father enjoy yourself

Lesson learned = Don't go off roading in a little white Fiat. Thanks for sharing the video.

You just have to love that warm weather LOL

Needs a front end alignment pretty bad! lol

I didn’t think Fiats were available in the US. He was a lucky chap especially as it had a roll back soft roof.

Man... You guys are not much for guardrails out there! LOL Out on the East Coast most rural public roads with that kind of drop-off have some sort of protection... Great video as always...We throw your videos up on the big screen and watch them like a TV show LOL!

@15:10 actually Ron, the impact resistance of that car is as good as or better than a lot of larger cars, it is designed to take quite a large impact

Love the name and the Fiat never use to snow its use to water

Ron keep up the good work and be safe out there
