The Adventures Of Ron Pratt! Always polite, never a curse word, always concerned that nobody was hurt. A true gentleman, a joy to watch! Thank you Ron, from Mississauga Ontario.

That guy Mike’s an asset to your company. I’ve watched him on loads of video’s and her seems a really helpful hard worker.

From a former volunteer fireman from New York and retired PD Det. From Ga I would like to say “thank you” to all the paid and volunteer fire men and woman that protect us on a daily basis and to all the wrecker drivers that put their lives on the line every time they go on a call.

That flag folding was the most American thing I have seen today!! Keep up the great work Ron.

Ron you are one of the most genuine people in the country how much respect and love you have for your job and others around you is great to watch thanks for the great content!

Mike, it's ok to talk to yourself. It's when you argue and lose is when you have a problem. lol

God I love these vids better than all the towing/recovery shows on tv because it’s all the action with none of the BS

I had to laugh when I read the caption saying "backing this truck is completely different than backing the rotator". It better be! If you're ever backing Tator up to a scene and she starts to bend in the middle, you've got some MAJOR problems!

With 34 years in the fire service I would have drained the water tank once you got the wheels out of the dirt. A lot less stress on the recovery vehicle. The respect shown to our flag was a refreshing thing to see, great job. Nice recovery unit, that’s awesome.

Thank you for another great video. I really appreciate you taking the time to properly fold the flag. Too many folks either don't know how or don't care now days. I'll bet the backing was a challenge with the axles slid forward. You did a great job of it. Y'all take care and God bless you all.

"Armstrong steering".....wow... .haven't heard that phrase in a LONG time. Our Fire Dept. had a '54 Mack "L" pumper. Open cab - 707 cu. In. Thermodyne Motor - 5 speed non synchro trans.- Armstrong steering! Steering wheel the size of a barrel lid. I remember trying to get a little more steering for a right turn. Was off the seat hanging on to the wheel! Great video Ron stay safe!!

That back-up move sure takes some skill! Well done.

Good decision to walk into the dead end first to check what you have. Not everyone can think ahead like this. I know SO many people who whould just drive in regardless if they block someone or something. And the "new" Truck and Trailer do really well! Nice to see a video featuring it shortly after the introduction.

Thank You for folding the Flag properly. This sign of respect means a lot to me.

I purchased one of those trailers, mine was a Trail King. You will love it. Out of a dozen trailers from 35ton through 75tons, that little trailer, over a ten year period out produced everything else we had dollar for dollar. It was the best transportation investment I ever made. It is really handy for delivering 200 class excavators and small dozers behind sidewalks. We also used it off road to deliver drill packages and self propelled drills into the woods shortened up. It is also the hot ticket for small asphalt milling machines. The hard rubber tires are tough on the deck. I hauled enough of them that we put wheel runs 24" wide out of 3/4 form ply and never had one go through the deck. Happy Motoring!

I knew I liked Ron, but when I saw how respected the flag, I like him even more.

As a former Marine, You made me proud when you displayed your flag folding.. A lot of people just don't know.. Great job..

Just want to say thank you taking the time for properly folding the flag shows great respect especially when you are so busy once again thank you

Aldo I am from The Netherlands, the way you all care for the Flag.... And then not just square folding it, but in the triangle shape...it gave me goose bumps.

I love it, seeing Ron assist the firefighter fold the flag. Very patriotic.

Thank you for showing your patriotism by helping to keep the American Flag safe, and folding it up right. I also hope that you are getting better and getting over the pneumonia. Also, I hope that you and yours have a safe and happy 4th of July. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Two things. 1. Ron - Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang! You got skills backing that up! I would be all over the road and grass 2. Mike - Nuff said. Ultra pro!

Lovely to see how much care you and the fireman did to close the flag, Ron.

Another great job! I wanted to also thank you for taking time to fold the flag. With so many people disrespecting and burning it today, it brought a tear to my eye to see that you took care of it. Thanks for all your hard work!

Mike is a great worker, good attitude, not slow to respond, polite etc.... love your videos

Ron, I've never doubted your patriotism or morals, and seeing you take a moment to fold the flag is further confirmation. It is a small but important thing. May God bless you and the other Good Patriots in this nation as we celebrate our Independence.

Ron Pratt Since I have been watching your KZfaq channel. I have been very impressed by the way you show people respect and carry yourself honorably. Glad to see that they're still people out there that still know the old ways as to how to treat others regardless what may have transpired before you tow their vehicle. So thank you for your hard work and as you say stay safe when on the roads doing tows.

Removes our flag and properly folds it without thinking about it. One of the many reasons I love watching your videos. Thank you and god bless!

I really appreciated seeing the respect paid to our flag by you and the firefighter. Thank you for showing that.

Thank you Sir for the respect you have showed our flag!

Great Job Ron. EXCELLENT Respect to the FLAG ALSO God Bless you all and Stay Safe from a viewer in Oregon

Ron, you did an amazing job backing up your truck. My father can do the same thing as he was a trucker for many years before he met my mom. My dad can job any job and it impresses me, I just hope that I can be like him once we get everything sorted out for my disability.

You made reversing look so easy that i could do it. lol Also nice to Mike as well. Hope every one at midwest trucks is keeping well.

Showing respect for the flag makes me smile. Have a blessed and safe weekend. Happy 4th of July.

I had to smile when you mentioned walking into the "job-site" intentionally. I once walked a quarter mile along a one lane curving driveway to find out if I could turn a semi with a 44' drop-frame household trailer around in the yard. I would have been seriously jammed up if I hadn't walked in. I backed all that way in, around the curves, through the trees, and all. It was worth it. I loaded out the house and drove straight out to the highway with no problems. I wrote that first part right after your comment about walking. After watching your long trek to reach the fire truck it's obvious that you're well aware of that old adage, "when you're backing a trailer, slower is usually much quicker!" After 50+ years of holding a CDL, I don't know anyone I've ever worked with that could have done that better. Very nice job!

Not even done the video yet, but knowing there is a Tow-Mator in the cab made my long night

Thankyou for the continued great work and sharing with us Ron: All the way from the sometimes sunny UK :)

Thank you for folding “ old glory” and not just rolling her into a ball . Where I’m from, a idle car is stripped in 5 mins or less.!! Even a 🚒

And I thank you for folding my great American flag That is a lost art on a lot of young of the generation They do not know how to fold our country's great flag Again my appreciations

You guys folding the flag made me smile and happy thanks for the hard work and the respect. GOD BLESS!!

"I intended to show you this, but not necessarily in this fashion," is probably one of the best quotes I've heard on this channel over the years. Good job as always, and a great video to introduce this truck's jobs to us. Also, I can't help but think that unloading method is a dream for every kid or kid at heart.

Thank you for respecting our flag on a video lot of people don't know about that they should learn from this video.

I can't believe how narrow all those roads are. Like driving in England. Then that tanker was backing up in between you and the other vehicles. Whew! I was on pins and needles. Great job. I loved seeing the newest tow in action.

17:49 That amazing blue color on that truck. That's what I want my cars color to look like!

Ron, I must tell You how professional and knowledgeable you are. You see every recovery 5 steps ahead, and plan for every contingency. You are one of the truest professionals I’ve ever seen. I’m watching this on July the 4th, and found it especially touching that you helped fold a Flag with care, while doing your Job. Thanks for being You, Ron. The world needs more People like You.

Mike made it so much easier for you by walking on the rear corner so giving you a really clear mark to aim with. Did I hear Mike shout "Roll 'em" as he let the brakes off - if not he should have! Great team work in action

I was so proud of you Ron, for folding the flag proper, I remembered how to do it from my Little League Baseball days. Not to disrespect our first responders but in all honesty I thought I would see it touch the ground or balled up or just layed across the fireman's arm but you prevented that Ron, Good Job.

It's good to see you show respect to the flag the way you folded it. I hate to see people disrespect their flag, you are a true american hero. God bless you. Greetings from Norway.

Watching them being so careful and caring for the flag like that brought tears to my eyes. Thank you very much.

Ron, I love how you are so respectful in everything you do. God bless

Thank you Ron, for showing proper respect to the American Flag and helping to fold it correctly! You are an amazing example for good today! Thank you again!

Ron, you really amaze me! You always have the correct equipment for the job! Your team work with Mike and the fire department is superb! From a retired USAF senior NCO, thank you, thank you, for respecting the flag, the way you did and to the fireman, who took the time to take it off the truck! Take care of your self and be safe!

Thank you Ron Pratt for all the great videos in these really tough times we are in.

Thanks for the respect you showed to our flag. And be careful, recovering from pneumonia is bear, don't overdo things. You don't have to do it all by yourself. Advice from someone who learned the hard way.

Thank you for the respect you showed our flag in these trying times.

How great to have a man like Mike to help you Ron

That's a sick sounding air horn!! You need to replace it!!!!!! I know all about backing up long distances with a trailer.

On fire trucks open the lowest back compartment above the bumper. In this case the roll up w/ the "emergency dial 911" on it. The tow hooks are often at the front of that compartment. It saves space.

Respect. Still people that Honor our flag so proud to be a American to see fellow Americans with respect.

Nice backing skills and flag folding. Prayers sent for continued healing.

A good workout with the new truck! Thank you Ron & Mike :)

Respect for your fellow man and the flag. Why I love you Ron, great work and god bless you, your family and all your friends and colleagues. Stay safe out there!

Thats a beautiful truck and trailer. The best part of the whole video was folding our nations flag. God bless Ron and crew, be well.

Ron wonderful video as always. Plus watching you brought back memories of when I used to mmove heavy equipment here in Texas, I drove a 2002 Mack with Landoll sliding axel trailer I miss working and plus I miss the Mack and trailer and yes I do have to agree about backing up with the axels slid forward it does present a small challenge, its like backing a full sie pick up with a short single axel trailer.

Liked arm strong steering. First time I have heard that. Stay safe

Awsome Job Ron & Mike. I hope you can get it fixed soon & back in service soon, sucks being a unit down. The traileze trailer did a good job. And you did a great job backing into the scene to get the broken down fire truck. As always gol bless you & everyone at Mid West Truck

Mater had it right.. you're the bestest backer upper in the world. You did what a lot of truckers would refuse to do, and probably couldn't. You slid the axles and backed that trailer around like a boss. You are better than you think you are. Strong arming the steering is wicked, and yes, I have done that too. No power steering pump in a car I had a long time ago. Builds up the muscles really quick. God bless you all, and take care of yourself.

That blind side was pure skill. I work for Amazon as a yard jockey and I'm in CDL school to get my class A. I passed my permit test. I just need to complete my skills test. I'm pretty confident though. My dad drove trucks for 36 years and taught me a lot. It just makes sense to me. As a former boy scout. That flag folding was beautiful. Thank you Ron for going out there and doing a difficult job for your community. Many people forget about our tow operators who clear the roads for us. Keep up the great work and stay safe sir. As always, God Bless!

Yes Ron I was thinking the same thing. I like how it sounds like your voice went high when you said that lol. You did a excellent job keep up the great work.

That's some precision maneuvering!

After seeing all the disrespect to our Nation's flag and monuments, watching you fold 'Ol Glory properly did this old veteran's heart good. Thanks and God Bless you and the USA.

Very impressive Ron. Total control at all times. Respect to your flag and country, from Essex England.

Good morning Ron fantastic job on recovering that fire engine luv your new low deck trailer it good to have for huge jobs like those.

A lot of traffic on a back road. Well once folk's know "Cool Man Ron" is on the job they will all be out watching. Great video Ron and God Bless you all. Stay safe from Covid - 19. Best regards from Sam in England.

Honor and respect for the flag. You guys are a class act. Of course you know how to fold it properly!

Just wanted to give a shout out to you and the fireman for honoring our flag by folding it instead of balling it up. I served in the Marines and was on our local volunteer fire department for 21 years. To see someone do that gave me great pride in knowing that there are still people in this world that respect "Old Glory". I thank the both of you and SEMPER FI

I was always hopeless at backing until I learned the "secret", steer from the bottom of the steering wheel, left to go left, right to go right, makes it much easier.

Great video Ron. Keep safe out there. Thank you for helping keeping the roads open. #thumbsup

As a retired firemen from Sebastopol, CA. Reminds me of a time when I had a pumper died on top of Mt. Tamalpais (an old radar Station on top of the hill) to where we had to have a tow truck bring it down from top of the Hill back to Sebastopol. Thank you for the video!!

That's the beauty of real people living in a real neighborhood, friendly and helpful as well as respectful to each other. I guess not all hopes are lost when you look at the MEDIA for the last months you think all is lost but now you watch Ron and how everyone around him help and chips in. Like the neighbor letting you use his property to turn around. Same way I would do it for any Trucker or anyone else for that matter who respects and is respectful of each other. I really love your videos. Been shared on Facebook too.

Love how you took the time to hold and FOLD the flag 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

Folding the flag was a nice touch. It is nice that you have such a good relationship with your local first responders and police

Its nice to see someone show proper respect for the flag. That is a heck of a nice rig Ron.

As always, I feel your videos should be lesson plans to teach people respect and pride. Not to mention professionalism and honor. When you properly folded the flag, MY flag, I felt a welling up of pride that nearly choked me. YOU are the caliber of people I spent 21 years in the air force for.. Thank you for making ME proud of MY contribution!! Great intro to the new truck, super job backing it too. Am I right in assuming the "weak" because that little sound is meant to be an "alert", not meant to stop the heart of everyone within a block!! I do not doubt it can reach full volume if the operator so commands it!! Thank you and your people again for your inspiring work and ethic.

Thanks you for folding the flag means alot to Veterans THANK YOU for your PATRIOTISM! Happy 4th of July prayers and well wishes from my family to yours!

15:36 "for this to be a dead end road back here, there sure is a lotta traffic!" ~ Ron, 2020

Thanks for the care taken with the beautiful USA flag. Also your equipment is always well taken care of. God bless.

I can't quite explain why, but the FF taking down the flag and Ron helping to fold it up brought a litttle smile to my face.

You were saying it while I was thinking it "thankfully it had enough air in its system" I thought Mike was about to go through the garage door

It's a giant rollback. :D You made Mike walk to the Firetruck, then walk back to your truck, then walk back to the Firetruck again. Did he have to walk back to the shop too?

Loved how you guys respected the flag by keeping it off of the ground and folding it properly

Nice job showing proper respect to the flag. It seemed as though the firefighter was not prepared for that, or wasn't planning to do it.

That trailer is a great setup - look forward to seeing more of it in your videos. Must take a bit if getting use too backing it long way with axel forward as it cuts much tighter than expected and acts like a much shorter trailer? Hope u r better now - sure it wasn't covid? 🤞👍

That was really interesting watching you unload or write down off the deck at went darn good job both of you what is

Ron your respect for the flag and this country is above and beyond watching you fold that flag brought a tear to my eye it’s people like you that make me love this country you’ve got a forever and avid viewer thank you for your patriotism

You sir are a class act. If I ever need a tow in your neck of the woods I know who to cal. We need more people like you in this world.

The firetruck needed a new alternator? Thanks as always Ron; I am certain your health will improve as we go through this 4th of July and beyond.

Love that trailer it's a awsome addition to your fleet .great vid godbless

Even when I double the video speed, you're still the world's best backwards driver, Ron... AMAZING!!!

God bless the fire company, and God bless you sir. It was wonderful to see the Patriotism and the words "In God we trust" on the tanker that passed you on the way out.
