I remember a time when they used to sweep the roadway like that after an accident, here in MA. Seems these days they just leave everything right in the roadway, especially in the larger cities. I went through an intersection the other day, and there was side molding from 2 different vehicles, plus piles of yellow and red reflector material dead in the center of the roadway - wasn't there a few hours earlier when I had passed in the opposite direction. Seems nobody cares anymore around here ... :( I always enjoy the ride to the scene as much as watching you work. The lights and siren gets the adrenaline going, as if I were there with you. :) Also great to see you look out for your fellow man like you do. May the Lord keep you all safe.

7:25 "we thought he was gonna be alright and drive that one off, but he's not and now he's going to jail" LOL! Loved that

Hey Rotator Ron! Perhaps Your slogan should be " Slow down! Move over! AND LEAVE THE DANG KEYS IN YOUR WRECKED VEHICLES!

I can tell Safety is #1 on Ron's mind, always watching out for his men.

wow they are being nice you got through the lights with almost no issue I can't even do that in a fire truck sometimes!

I like Raymond ,, he hustles , hes there getting stuck in when others are just stood waiting for Ron to say something , he picks up on what you want very quickly

The different angle showing Mikes work while still having your audio is a nice touch. 👌

I like how you teach and explain everything thing to your new driver's we need more people like you teaching how to tow and be safe my son been towing for years. You all be safe

Ron, growing up my Dad owner a wrecker service and used parts. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I wasn't able to take over. Like you with Ethan, I rode along and listened to his every guidance. In 86 we got out first rollback. He learned (after many no keys accident) to carry a cheap bottle of liquid dish soap. You simply pour some down the bed where the tires would slide and it's better than the sliders. He knew the importance of clearing the road quickly. Only takes about 30 seconds, at most, to lay a bead. It also makes unloading so much easier brother!!! Great channel. Keep up the good work!!!

Your level of respect toward other people is amazing!

The more I see of Mike in your vids, the more impressed with his work ethic. I would hire him any time.

Mr RON PRATT, I like your videos and I pray May God Be With You & Protect you .

Thanks fer taking us along Ol Pal. Not appreciating that siren too much myself. I know you need it to get on scene quickly. ( Code 3 ).... Thumbs up Bud.

Great video once again! The best part was, 10:08 "THEY ALWAYS TAKE THE KEYS!" lol

The more I see of Mike the more I'm impressed with his work ethic. I'd hire him any day.

As a truck driver I appreciate the work y’all do but most of all I appreciate that you let ppl know that you believe in God thank you

Love watching your videos, very interesting and informative. A friend of mine in Dunedin NZ is a towie (tow truck driver). I think I have him watching your videos as well. You have even pricked up my interest in to becoming a towie. Cheers once again for the videos God bless

Another interesting job.I like the way you teach the safety part of the job.Gotta always keep your eyes all around you.Keep up the good work.

Top notch Ron,Safety first,I notice anyone with you, you are alway's making sure their reminded safety is first,I hope Raymond is as aware out there as you..Congrat's Raymond on your new job..Take Care out there..

LOVE the dual cameras! Switching between them, the editing, and as always, your professionalism. Stay safe boys!

WOW!! You were working faster than the repo man there with that first car. Another great video.

Great team work ! Greetings from Holland Ron and thanks for your nice words yesterday.

Until I started watching ur Channel Ron I didn't know tow trucks had sirens. I knew they had lights on top. U & Raymond did a great job. God Bless

Very Professionally Done and, As Always, SAFETY FIRST.

I always hold my breath when you are enroute to the scene of the accident. I am afraid some dumb cluck is going to pull out in front of you!! Great job, Ron! So glad it went quickly and safely!

“Got your camera going” *mike nods* “HIIIII” hahaha that amused me

Very nice response. I love how you stop at a red light then proceed thru when clear.

Anyone notice when Ron was talking about the keys for the Buick he sounded just like Jeff Foxworthy? Just thought that it was kinda funny. Also thank you Ron for the videos and also for the respect you show not only the people your dealing with in real life at that moment but also with us as the viewer. I really have a lot of respect for you and your team. God bless to you, your family, and to your team. Chris

Another well done and professional recovery! Prayers to those involved.

Amazingly efficient pick-ups. Again, well done!

A boss commands his employees from behind his desk. A LEADER gets down and dirty alongside his employees and you, Ron Pratt, are a damn great leader! Keep up the great work and God Bless!

Ron, I like your "HI" on Mike's helmet cam. Lol. I had a little chuckle at that. :)

Another great video Ron. I think that you have the makings of a good driver in that young man. Thanks for sharing and as always God bless

That poor ol Buick...I like those, great roll back vid, keep em coming!

Ron, Raymond will do just fine just keep teaching.

1st class as usual Ron, SAFE, efficient and professional. Best to you and your crew from here 2 thumbs up !!

Mr. Pratt, I am watching from northern Alberta and just discovered your channel yesterday. May I say I think you do a fantastic job! The safety aspect is huge and also the respect you show your coworkers, other first responders and the public is wonderful. I also find it refreshing that your language is family friendly if you will. Be safe and keep on keeping on. Bless you and yours!

A great job done right. My 014 Ram 3500 lock the doors when it felt like it. My 017 has done it twice so far. Blessings to all.

Picture this: You're driving down the freeway and your car suddenly starts shaking. You immediately pull over and your car shuts off. You call for a tow truck. The tow truck arrives and starts loading your vehicle. During this, traffic keeps flying by you at speeds up to if not over 65mph. There's only inches between you and the speeding traffic. All of a sudden a car slams into the back of your car and the tow truck. You didn't have enough time to move out of the way. You are pinned between the speeding car and your vehicle. The tow truck operator is trapped under your vehicle. A passerby stops to help and calls 911. Now you wait. You're bleeding, your seriously hurt, you hear from the person who stopped to help that the tow truck operator is not responding. Fear and anxiety steps in. The police, firemen and paramedics get there. Suddenly you feel like you're going to pass out. You awake in the hospital to find out you have several broken bones, a concussion and possibly worse. You also hear that the tow truck operator didn't make it. The driver of the speeding car escaped with a few bruises and cuts. You start to get angry. If only they had slowed down, moved over and gave the tow truck operator enough room to work safely. Now the tow truck operator has lost his life, you have several months of recovery ahead of you and the family of the tow truck operator has the rest of their lives without their loved one. Again, if only the other car had slowed down and moved over. Think about this story the next time you are traveling down the road and you see an emergency vehicle, tow truck, or construction vehicles on the side of the road. It only takes a few seconds out of your time to slow down and move over. They are people just like you. With families, loved ones, just trying to do their job and come home at the end of their day. Be a responsible, careful, considerate driver! ⬅️⬅️⬅️⬅️⬅️MOVE OVER⬅️⬅️⬅️⬅️ ⬇️⬇️⬇️SLOW DOWN ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ PLEASE EVERYONE, SHARE THIS POST!

The self locking issue is a Ford thing, my Aussie falcon does the same, just make sure you have the window down of you can so you don't lock yourself out

You are a lucky Man Ron. Your low esteem is to be judged at a later time. May God Bless You.

One video two tows. How cool is that. Stay safe and God bless.

another great job but I'm not surprised! thanks for everything you do! have a great day !

Excellent job. I love the safety consciousness. "Slow Down and Move Over" only works if people do it. It's imperative you have your head on a swivel for not only yourself, but for Mike and Raymond too - which you do. Great learning experience for Raymond about scene management. Efficient and everyone was safe. Again, excellent job!

I'm happy to see as myself a highway worker, the care and time you put in to new employees and burning it in their brain that if you do not keep your head moving you WILL get killed not only by your own equipment but also traffic. In Wisconsin a leaf blower moves glass plenty easier 😀. Stay safe great videos! God Bless

Dang Mikey's truck is diiiiiiiirty must be working it hard.

nice to see some one still cleans the road and also cross strap no one does that any more

I learned something new today. I live in Missouri by the Iowa Illinois line, and have been a firefighter/EMR for 32 years. I've never seen or heard our two wrecking companies run sirens, or use anything but amber light bars. the more you know....

They take the keys Ron because their house key is on the key ring, their mailbox key is on the ring, their safe deposit box key is on the ring, etc... Plus, they don't want anybody to steal their vehicle... :-) haha

I watch videos with the captions on and when your sirens are on mine say “woo hoo hoo hoo” Or “ow ow ow ow” and it makes me giggle

Great job as always my friend. Stay safe out there, and God bless.

Can't get over the idea of a tow truck responding red/blue lights and siren. It's awesome though! -from a fan in Wisconsin

RON it's definitely a pleasure , watching your videos, allways , positive attitude even when teaching employees !!!!!!!!!!!

Mike cam......."HI!!!" LOL. Good job gentlemen. Be safe.

That initial interaction with the officer... too funny. Hope the driver is doing well. God bless.

Man I can NOT believe how many people don't pull off to the shoulder and stop for emergency vehicles!!! That was one of the first things we were taught in driver's training!! Most people these days believe they are more important than anyone else on the road. I'll bet your wife is scared every time you go out on a run. Stay safe Ron & crew. God Bless you!

I don't think the other fella was doing 35mph. As Always, on the scene as fast as possible and just as professional. Great work Ron.

Hey Ron, my car sometimes locks itself too. You should be able to take in to the dealer and have them reset the computer. Thanks for another great video. Stay safe and God bless.

"They always take the keys" Maybe it's because I'm a locksmith and I know that a heavy key ring can prematurely wear the ignition switch, I always have a second key on a ring by itself in the ignition. In the early 90s there were plastic key blanks available on a snap off card the same size as a credit card so you could cut them and stuff them in your wallet. If they're no longer available I have cut most of the head off a key and drill a new hole so it takes up hardly any room in your pocket. I have a set on a small key ring for house and car that's so light and not bulky I hardly know it's there. One more good one Ron. TY

The two camera are awesome

G6. We owned one at one time. It was the only car I ever owned that I wished someone had stole. Constant trouble with tie rods, wheel alignment problems, struts, etc. Was in a shop more than out. Gave it to a friend when we retired in Philippines. Gave it to them for free.

Thanks for teaching me something. I would have never known a tow vehicle can have sirens as an emergency vehicle. Would have thought it was some crackpot trying to get me on candid camera. Have no laws like that here in WI or MN, will try to be alert if ever in MO.

Kia driver got arrested. Sounds like he was talking, when he should have been listening. Ron you make a good traffic cop. Good job helping keep your guys safe from unsafe drivers.

Hey Ron another great vid sir!. Just something to note... I used to have a ford Rollback and had the doors lock more than once. Found out it was the auto locks engaging thinking its moving( The motion of the bed moving causes this) Smart to keep a key lol!

I understand a few reasons for considering a tow truck as an emergency vehicle. Clearing a wreck fast means less rubberneckers and that means less rubbernecker wrecks adding to the problems. One of the big ones. ************* Good to see and hear you using good sense about running with lights and siren too. ***************** Re: truck locking itself... You should be able to get a keypad for the remote locks (hide it inside a tool box mounted on the truck) Then even if you (or whoever is driving it) lock the key in it, you can open it.

@Ron Pratt, The truck locking itself is to prevent someone from trying to steal your rig. It's pretty common in Tow/Repo trucks made by Ford.

great video as always stay safe also thank you for putting the loss of the tow truck driver up on facebook I shared it on my page reminding drivers to move over and slow down God bless and keep you safe

Another great coffee morning with you Ron and fellas. Keep cool and God Bless.

Really enjoy the videos Mr Pratt. You have superior problem solving skills, especially when you use the lift. Looks like it can be a bit fun too. Stay safe! Thank you for the videos.

Great video Ron as always, y'all keep safe out there

Ron my name is Jon Ferguson I'm from Illinois I'm one of your follower's I think they should move over for you and Randy the move over law is very important may God blessed you be safe buddy ☺️😊🙂

watching from nova scotia , canada, amen

That's pretty cool you guys are able to use lights and emergency horn. There's a two truck driver who lives by my house who drives super recklessly. They don't allow sirens on tow trucks in Chicago. This guy cuts people off, speeds, and I saw him flip some guy off the other day for honking when he blew through a stop sign.

good job and fast, god bless you all

Just a tip on proper siren usage: when driving on open stretches free of intersections and stacked up vehicles, use wail. Then as you approach an intersection or obstacle, switch to yelp along with alternate airhorn blasts or phaser. After you clear the intersection or obstacle, return to wail.

Ron, you must have watched Bonanza as a child, you sound just like Hoss, one of the characters!!! He would always say Dadgum!!

" we thought he was going to drive it off....but now he's going jail" lol

Ron it's nice to see that if the recovery business ever gets slow you can always work as a school crossing guard.! It's always nice to see how safety conscious you are. Those interstate recoveries scare the heck out of me but my guess is the 35 MPH zone are about as bad. As always I enjoyed the video. Well done...

at least Mike remembers his cam...lol, teach him how to set the time and date... but once again great job.

Ramon seems like a good worker only have to tell him once and not afraid to jump in IE not standing around waiting for you to tell him what to do! some times now days thats hard to find.

Im not a tow driver but i am a road worker and one thing ive learned is that u always have to keep ur head moving cuz it only takes a second for a car to lose contorl and head right for u. plus some of my bosses noticed im the type that will put my life on the line to protect my co workers. but only if needed. great video tho

I think I have watched every video you have made. I try to stay one step ahead of you and anticipate your next step. Sometimes you grunt like an old fat man, but I do that too. I want to be like you when I grow up. I am only 81 now but I am learning.

Hey Ron great video God bless you everyday and keep you safe if you take the truck to Ford they put in a code and it keeps the door from locking I had it done to my Ford truck and the door never locked after they put the code in something to think about it's just something a safety thing that if you walk away from your truck and you don't lock it it locks after a few minutes but they could make that stop at the Ford dealership will they could tell you how to do it it only takes in 5 minutes be safe out there keep the videos coming and God bless you and the new employee teach him right

That was quick and easy. Being safe

Blessed to live in Missouri opposite end of the state. Roberts garage Route 6 across the creek from Quincy is a rotator man

if my wife and I should ever find ourselves in this situation will be sure not to take the keys be blessed stay safe

Mr Ron you are the BEST!!!!! Love your work!

That police officer was Officer Daniels! 😮

Thanks again.

Excellent teamwork! BTW, my brother-in-law's car has a driver's door that locks on its own as well. Apparently, there's a short somewhere in the wiring, so he and I feel your pain.

Love the code 3 action! Stay safe out there :)

Leaving the key would make it too easy! No challenge that way. Haha Thanks for the video.

Give your guys a little credit, Ron, they can see traffic too. Keep up the good work, man. Not getting any big rig crashes lately.........

that made me laugh when you said hi to Mikes Camera

Funny how the drivers pull or move over to the side while your moving, but won't always move over when you are recovering a vehicle. Sad. Here in Iowa it's now law that you move over for anything with flashing lights Stay safe and God bless

From "another Raymond" to your co-worker - ain't life grand, working for Ron Pratt? I'd love to be "that" Raymond (only about 30 yrs younger) and be in training. Cheers to one and all.

You and your team is doing a very good job on the jobs you're do

pretty cool im in nyc i never seen red and blues and a siren on a tow truck but alot of the chase trucks drive like they have them.

CAR KEYS ARE ON THE SAME LOOP AS THE HOUSE KEYS, GOTA GET IN THE HOUSE YA KNOW!

Another great job done Ron and mike.
