I think it is awsome how efficient you guys are at your job but at the same time sad because of the amount of horrible wrecks you have to deal with. You do a great job, god bless you guys stay safe.

There have been multiple comments about the use of my air horn rather than using a siren while running to this scene and that I should have allowed Mike to run in front of me since his truck has a siren. Please allow me to explain...... We simply have not taken the time to install a siren on the new Peterbilt rollback yet. As I stated in the video, we are not required to have a siren as long as we have the air horn and red/blue lights. We are following the letter of the law. The following is taken directly from the state statute: "5. (1) The driver of any vehicle referred to in subsection 4 of this section shall not sound the siren thereon or have the front red lights or blue lights on except when such vehicle is responding to an emergency call or when in pursuit of an actual or suspected law violator, or when responding to, but not upon returning from, a fire.   (2) The driver of an emergency vehicle may:   (a) Park or stand irrespective of the provisions of sections 304.014 to 304.025;   (b) Proceed past a red or stop signal or stop sign, but only after slowing down as may be necessary for safe operation;   (c) Exceed the prima facie speed limit so long as the driver does not endanger life or property;   (d) Disregard regulations governing direction of movement or turning in specified directions.   (3) The exemptions granted to an emergency vehicle pursuant to subdivision (2) of this subsection shall apply only when the driver of any such vehicle while in motion sounds audible signal by bell, siren, or exhaust whistle as may be reasonably necessary, and when the vehicle is equipped with at least one lighted lamp displaying a red light or blue light visible under normal atmospheric conditions from a distance of five hundred feet to the front of such vehicle." Please note the last section which states that we can use an "exhaust whistle". The air horn is defined under the "exhaust whistle" category, much like the warning systems used by trains since, well, the invention of train warning systems, which is an "exhaust whistle" train air horn. So, again, we are following the law. We will be installing a siren, but as I said, the air horn still covers us. The main reason I went first is because Mike was on another job when the call came in. I left directly from our shop, which was closer to the incident. It just so happened that Mike was able to catch up with me in the traffic back up. This comment is made simply to educate. This comment is not made in a defensive or derogatory manner. Thanks for watching and God bless.

We tend to get impatient sitting in traffic behind an accident, but this shows us how fast you really work. Appreciate that

Ron, I love how you work with the local police. You show respect and they show respect. That is how the world should be. God bless

That's what I like to see teamwork. I wish all tow company do what you guys do.

I will never get tired of watching how well you and your team works with the first responders. Tow drivers and recovery people are one of the last things anyone thinks of in an accident, but you're so incredibly important to keep our roads clear of wrecks and debris. Always nice to see the mutual respect of you and everyone else on the scene

Ron you guys are awesome the way you can pick up these wrecks, god bless you guys.

Hey Ron it's good to have a worker like Mike you all stay safe

hey Ron now you get to see how we feel going down the interstate running lights and siren blaring the horn and nobody wants to get out of the way even though it's a big ass red fire truck with flashing lights and loud siren and just people have no respect for anybody anymore but awesome driving man I have to admit you're one of the best tow truck drivers I've ever seen on KZfaq you're very professional and polite respectful and you're always alert may God bless you and your family and your company and I wish you many many many years of new content

If you have not watched any of your tow work we would not know what you do to keep people safe in this problem. You and your SERVICE is professional. Thank you and others in your work.

I have picked up a few pointers since I started watching your videos. I am not in the towing business but have had to do some pulling using a strap, chain and a come along to cut down a large oak tree that was leaning towards my house. Thanks for your videos and the service you do for your community!

Ron. Watching your videos. I learned more than I did while towing. Wish I could come down n run your trucks with you.

I enjoy watching the wreck recoverys but I always hope that the people involved are ok

You guys are among the road angels with the Firefighters and the Blues. Thank you folks for the hard team work you folks do ROAD ANGELS🙏👍♥️

The driver of that white van at 16:27 is a crazy person.

Mike is always positive to work with Ron. He is smart.

A Ron Pratt classic gotta love 'em

Thank you for your amazing service that you and your family do for America. God bless you and your family.

may god bless you ron . for all the heavy work that you do.

16:28 that white van was a little to close for comfort. Slow down! Move over! Some people need to pay more attention.

Once again Ron shows how it’s done safely, quickly and professionally

Love the mutual respect and cooperation you have with the local authorities and first responders. Stay safe and God bless

Thank you Ron, and yes I will 🙏 for the people Involved in the crash. You,Mike Talon and everyone else in your family Stay Safe 😷

I reckon if I ever crash around Scott City MO I know a good towing company.

@Ron Pratt my family and I enjoy watching your channel thanks for sharing your perspective I used to run volunteer fire rescue in PA. I miss the job but my chief taught me the first day I met him "if you cant help yourself how can you help others" much love you to and your family and prayers and thoughts to all of those impacted by what ever may come there way that you interact with. Keep up the good work. Brandon

It's always pleasant to watch you and your team work, Ron! You are always 100% professional, as well as being kind to and concerned for everyone around you. Thank you for all you do!

LOve your videos Ron, used to do recovery years ago in the UK. when I was blocking a lane I always turned my wheels to the left so that if I was hit from behind the vehicle didnt come right at me!

Every video I watch of yours shows how professional your company is dealing with accidents. Thank You and God Bless all !

hello from the central valley in California I have been fallowing your channel for a while and I really like how you work and your professionalism under dangerous situations look forward to seeing more thank you for what you do that truck is awsome

My friend who lives in MO showed me this channel and I must say I love it, You are easily one of the worlds most humble man. Keep up the great work I love these videos!

Good day Ron ,great work with the two rollbacks to clear the road . Looks like some one will need a new pickup . Good to hear injuries were not to bad .Keep up the great work keeping our roads clear .Be safe , take care .👍👍😊✌

Hello Ron, another great video of your many years of experience showing through. Working as a team with Mike and doing the other recovery on your own. Understanding the angles, how far to pull then move your rollback to get it straight very impressive. Thanks for sharing and stay safe 😷

Haha! Love how you have the exact section on the Missouri code about siren usage

Nice recoveries there by you and Mike. As always, your expertise made it all look easy. Thanks for sharing.

I'm 16 and wanting to be a firefighter paramedic I have learned so much from your videos thanks and keep up the good work 🇺🇲

Thank you Ron, you always impress me with your courtesy and professionalism Central California watching

I love your work. Very good time management and in. Loaded up and out without a wasted second

Another great vid. My little bro is now in the towing, & recovery biz in KC. Great job, & God bless you, & your crew!

You don't have to thank me for watching. I enjoy watching what you do. It is sad to see wrecked vehicles and even sadder when people are injured or killed. I do believe in guardian angels. In June 1978, I left the road on a motorcycle on a curve at around 90 mph while very drunk. The instant I knew I was going off the road, a strange feeling wrapped around me and I heard 'Do Not Fear'. Although I suffered many injuries, I survived. I still have problems left over from my injuries. As they say, you have to pay the price and I have nobody to blame except myself.

Mike is vary professional like ron!! God bless you guys. Thxz for practicing safety mr ron. Love your show!!

Oh my goodness, I hope everyone involved weren't to badly injured! That looked like a bad one. Glad everyone else was safe! You and Mike did a great job God Bless you and Mike and everyone involved.

GOD bless to you as well. Man watching you folks work made me tuckered out. 😂🙏♥️

You have an amazing job. You are professional and responsible. I would love to have an explanation of your truck. You press all kinds of keys. And it would be nice to get explanations. You have lots of cabin buttons, and you have an external control panel. And it's really interesting.

I have learned quite a bit on this type of work even though I'm not a tow operator ( you have taught quite a lot from your videos ) have an awesome day Ron and God bless you watch over you and your family

In, hook up, out...fast, clean and SAFE!!!! God Bless Ron.... always praying for you and your family and crew

Another awsome video Ron! Thank you for showing me double snatch blocks used and what they were there for.. May God Always keep you safe out there and give you a great life

Once again Ron and Mike did awesome job prayers and well-wishes got to all parties involved thanks again

I've been watching your videos for months. Yes binge watching to they're so good. I subscribed very first video. I love your honesty and being just an all around good person. And the guys that work for you seem the same way. Wish more people were like you. Maybe the world would be a little better. Thank you Ron. And God Bless you, your family and your guys.

Thanks Ron great content on the video 👏👏 we are still in full lockdown here in Australia 😩 so most enjoyable to have something to watch other than Old TV reruns cheers mate 👌🙋‍♂️🇦🇺

God bless this man. He must have a good/horrible job because of how he has to avoid all the oil, coolant, etc. Thanks for your service and cleaning up our roads!

Watching you is like watching a ballet performance, such perfection and knowledge about what you doing just amazes me love watching you❤️🙏❤️

DOES ANYONE ELSE CHECK THE SIDE MIRRORS AS RON RUNNING DOWN THE ROADS OR BACKING? MINE IS OUT OF HABIT OF DOING THIS...LOL.. I DRIVE WITH MY MIRRORS. I LIKE WATCHING HIM, HE DOES A FINE JOB. GOD BLESS AND STAY SAFE.

Thank you Mr Pratt for another great video. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms in your family.

How's it going there Ron. Hope your have a great and safe day. Love the content keep up the great work. Stay safe and I'll keep you In my prayers.

I learn so much from Ron Pratt midwest truck lifting you up company they great people take all the recoveries as serious as it is constantly watching each other back i need a job application

Great recovery! Stay safe, and God bless you Ron, and your team! Thanks! From Argentina! 🇦🇷🇦🇷

Nice and quick recovery, I was surprised. On surprises, I ordered a pair of lighted gloves for you, should be delivered next week. They are a "one size fits all" design, 2 waterproof leds on thumb and forefinger to light actual work area during night jobs. More likely to be useful on the service trucks but still might be of use on a recovery.

That truck was a mess. Tricks of the trade make it look easy. Awesome recovery.

You discovered where the wheel mike grabbed came from 😂

Glad no serious injuries, they were lucky. Great job. God Bless

Love watching your videos keep up the great work

I like you alway practice safety and work together and talk things out, you are so awesome

Siren not required but certainly more fun than an air horn :)

Thank you 🙏 essential Road Rescue Hero and like always God Bless ❤️ stay safe.. Your Fan ✊🏻

I had no idea that this is actually for real. I always thought, since I was a kid, if tow vehicles need to have first responders emergency devices...such as a siren. But, not all places allow this type of action....and should, specially when dangerously blocking a highway....God bless you guys risking your lives everytime out there!

Nicely done Ron.....as always, you make a tricky job look easy.....stay safe out there....👍🇮🇲

Super interesting! Glad you guys are staying safe!

Warm greetings from the Netherlands. Your vlogs are always very interesting to see, love the air horn and the V8 engine. You rarely come across them here, but we are only a small country. But you do your rescue work in a coordinated way. Your vlog is great, just like all your family and employees, God bless your good work. Hans

I will never understand why people give these videos thumbs down!

Great video, I can't be the only one sitting here yelling at the people who won't move over. I understand, as you said, some are trying, but there are a lot more who weren't. I'm amazed at how 'busy' people are, and how they can't spare a second. Even when you were reversing in, people jumping into your lane. I guess it's eventually more business for you :).

Amazing how some people still just pull out into your lane when you're coming in hot with lights, sirens, horns etc

These videos are better than most training videos! I have learned so much just watching vids.

As was to see in the beginning of the video, no room for the first responders, its a hot topic in germany. We call it Rettungsgasse, rescue alley or so. The penalty for not making room has recently been upped, minimum 200€ fine, one month no driving license and two points in Flensburg. Flensburg is a city in the north of germany, there is the central registry for your traffic sins. Some traffic offenses give you point(s), up to three at once. The points last depending on the offense 2.5 to 10 years. 4-5 points get you a fine, and a letter telling you off, with the chance to participate in a "how to drive responsibly" seminar, which can get you rid of one point. 6-7 gives you a bigger fine, also a letter with a warning that your driving license is in danger and again the chance for a seminar. 8+ points revokes your driving license. Its gone for at least 6 months, usually longer. Its then a matter for the court to determine how you can get it back. You might be asked to successfully participate in a psychological evaluation. You might need to aquire the driving license again, which is rather expensive in germany. If you do not cooperate, its gone for 15 years. Without your initiative you wont get it back, its not automatic.

thanks for your service to your country sir!

I monitor the MSP crash reports regularly. I noticed that many rollover fatal crashes involve unrestrained motorist. I realize that many occur in rural areas and some don't realize the importance of seat belts. Many will have one restrained with minor injuries and the unrestrained ejected. Its totally an unfortunate way to lose a life. This bothers me. Keep up the great work Ron and God bless.

Watching you pull forward to line that up... Brilliant! I learn something from every video you make... Thank you Ron! :)

In my country this would take like 2+hours to clear up and you did it in under 30min! Nice job Sonic😂

Yes, ron is the best and he loves his work.

Well Done Ron, another successful recovery. Did spot a rare site though, A FEDEX lorry that was not involved in an accident, didn’t think it possible on KZfaq. Stay safe and well.

Ron, appreciate your skill and courtesy and professionalism. Just watched another KZfaq towing channel. Nice guys. But clueless..looking forward for more content.

Ron forgot to toot, toot, with his horn before backing,, I enjoy watching the wreck recovery's, Ron is always respectful,, Hard worker and he really knows what he is doing,, I always slow down and move over for you workers out there

Soon as i said to myself why no siren, you answered it 1 second later. timing is impeccable like always thank you

You make that look easy but I know it's hard work an a great deal of skill !

I love watching these towing videos

Very well done! Timely, safely taken care of, just as always. Blessings to Ron, staff and families at Midwest and viewers and subscribers. May each stay safe and well. Thank you for another great video. PS: Awesome image of Cross at the end .... AWESOME !!!

Man, i can feel my anxiety level go up when I watch your videos. Stay safe out there man!

Ron thanks for showing how to be a businessman always nice to people always doing what it takes to get the job done keep up the good work hows the crew and family hope all are healthy

You guys do a great job. You obviously know how to get them on there!

Thanks Ron, very cool.

Thank you ron keep safe

Great work Ron & Mike! I enjoyed watching this one!

Another great video as usual. Enjoy watching your videos. I'm praying that all involved is doing well. Keep the great videos coming Thanks for sharing and God bless

I've watched Ron's latest video, now my Friday morning is complete. Thanks, Ron.

I always thought it interesting how MO. had the Letter codes for roads. Keep up the good work.

Love the videos be safe brother from one tow truck driver to another

Another great video Ron stay safe and god bless hope everyone is alright after that situation

Awesome Job Ron, efficient and fast plan of action.

Good Friday morning everyone 👋

I pray for your safety during the wrecks and for the people involved. 😃

Being efficient is part of being a tow driver there is always someone else may need that help. I know when I dispatched we had people broke down in Death Valley and for some reason having water didn’t just didn’t get remembered by people. Even a brand new car can give trouble. As always great video by a even more awesome company
