the strap under the seat trick was excellent. I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos.

It was great that the trooper stayed with you and pulled out further to cover you while you worked. Just one false step, please stay safe! Keep the videos coming!

when I used to work for American Auto Part in Trenton NJ, we would have to tow fishing men out of the Delaware River. They would park by the river at low tide and walk to fish the river, come back to see the car or truck underwater. Always took diving mask to hook them up, some times you could see it some times not. Now that was real fun

I think drivers should be required to watch how it feels to be working on the side of highway so close to the traffic. Maybe then it would make sense for them to either move over or be able to stop to keep from creating a worse accident. Be safe and thanks for your service.

Good job in a difficult situation. I noticed the big trucks slowed down and moved over - but the 4 wheelers didn't.. A good lesson instead of a fine would be 4 hrs. standing by the rear of your operation and let them see how dangerous it really is. Thanks for sharing.

at least it was flowing water and not stagnant water

Funny thing is I pulled one of those G6 out of water up to its roof many years ago they must love water and I had only jeans on I no longer driver a wrecker and don't miss those days at all keep up the good work these videos bring back memories 😄

Hi ron, I'm a retired OTR driver of 27yrs and I admire how you take the time to evaluate each situation and not in a rush, a lot of wrecker drivers ive encountered in my career were just hook n book n get paid, I like your detail to safety to you and others. I enjoy your videos (especially the long ones) Be safe and god bless you and your family.

Hey Rotator Ron ! The early bird catches the G6!!! Thank you for the fine video!

Nice video Ron. I've seen you put cars on the rollback a zillion times, but never have seen you get one off when you get it back to the shop. Maybe you could do a video on that if you haven't already.

Great video Ron stay safe out there

Ron shame shame going in the water without a life jacket. Hope it had been 45 minutes since you last ate! LOL Great video as always be safe out there!

50 feet of cable .. some people can spit that far ...lol .. you had enough chain to get the job done well .. thanks Ron

People that aren't familiar with the towing industry don't understand the amount of impounds and car wrecks that we as towing companies get stuck with. In a perfect world everyone would have full coverage insurance.

Good job! This took me back to one I did on a January morning at 7 am when a lady spun her Mazda MX5 off the road on sheet ice and went down a railroad embankment. When I got there the car was 2 feet off the main Edinburgh to London railroad with trains flying past, and it was all tangled up in barbed wire, and fence wire with the fence posts still attached. After a lot of wire cutting I hauled it up same as you, but had no police present or no shoulder to park on. I had to cone the lane off well in advance and hope for the best. Luckily nobody hit me! Stay safe and God bless.

Ron, Thank you for putting your experiences on KZfaq. I used to operate Wreckers back in "75 -

That was pretty darned tricky getting straps hooked up. Your control of expletives Ron is impressive! You got your day's quota of excercise there. Good job done. :)

I don't think it's a keeper. Better throw it back. LOL Great job, Ron. God bless.

80. Brings back a lot of memories. Not all of them good as several times I would arrive before the ambulance. I wish that I had the C.P.R. and emergency first aid training then that I have now. I might have been able to save a few lives that I have had the misfortune to helplessly watch ebb away waiting for the ambulance to arrive. To this day the memory still brings a tears to my eyes. Hopefully you and yous have that type of training. I mostly really enjoyed doing that type of work. Always something new and challenging. I was mainly involved with heavy tow and recovery, a 1960's International Diesel twin screw with a Holms 750. So much different then. I had to quit because I could no longer support my growing family on starvation wages. I operated out of Davenport Iowa. Keep up the good work 'n God Bless.

just found these vids; your dedication to safety for everyone at the accident scenes is a life lesson every driver should learn before getting behind the wheel of any vehicle. If drivers were just as concerned for each other getting home alive, it wouldn't put you out of a job, but would reduce injuries. Thank you for all your and Talon's efforts, never forget how amazing you all are, and only the best of luck in all things...

"we are fixing that today..." i love your attitude for work.

That officer seemed cool & I liked how he waited for you, nice coverage Ron!

just in case you ever find yourself with the remote control out of reach, just put the control literally on your head. Your body will then act as an antennae and the distance within which you can operate your remote will be significantly augmented - thanks for all the uploads

G6's are cheap enough and new enough that every teenager is starting to own one now

Ron you should get a fifth wheel puller ( like we use for releasing kingpins ) for snatching your slings, chokers ,or cables in around or under things. Light and handy. You might try a different bait if you going fishing for something bigger. Haha, nice video.

What a pain in the ditch.

i live in the caribbean.and i work for a tow company that belongs to a friend, i see you are well equiped and that makes work a lot easier, learned alot from this video, ive never fished a car out .but now i know where to strap it too, thanks

When you know what you're doing, you make it look easy. Thanks for the video

Hi Ron, Any chance you could document the changing of the cable (if that's what you're going to do...) ? I don't suppose it's very exciting, but what the hey....

Awesome truck 👍🇺🇸🇬🇧 Respect from the UK

I just gotta say I am a Sacramento AAA driver and I have learned a lot by watching you work and I am definitely jellies of the remote control bed but thank you for the video's and be safe out there.

Mr. Ron Pratt great job as always. I've havent seen many other tow truck guys use the ratching straps like you did to secure the vehicle they usually hook a chain to the hook points undercarriage then the other end into the slots on bed and pull it tight with winch line tho they are used on the 1 ton truck with the wheel lift

"2006 Pontiac G6, Clean Carfax"

Impact couldn't have been that hard since the airbags wasn't deployed. Nice job pulling it out of the water.

I like to see rotator when you go fishing put on cars like that and water and may God bless you and be safe out there I have you all in my prayers

Me: Hey, I know a guy who fishes with a rollback! Friend: What???

Nice job

Love how you are so polite and respectful 🚓 🚚👍

Friend just mile from me has a tow shop and the contract for the New York State Thurway, everytime they go out they are worried about the cars and big rigs drivers. We lost a wrecker drive just few months ago here working the Thurway. Very dangerous work, I'm retired LEO and use to see it all the time. Great videos. I like how good looking your wreckers and your professionalism while working.

Ron you are working your butt off keep it up goo video

A Good job well done take care ron and god bless.

Really great recovery video, thanks for sharing will go along way as I learn making me a better rollback driver, love watching your videos.

Just started watching your posts on you tube. I find them interesting and informative. Keep up the good work Sir. God Bless from the UK.

Dang! SLOW DOWN AND MOVE OVER!

Did you enjoy yourself on your fishing trip haha ;)

Great way to start the day indeed! another great recovery...well done Ron.

Hey I'm enjoying your videos and I'm a tow truck driver myself and u are teaching me new tricks and thanks for the videos

The reason why you and the officer see so many of these G6's in trouble is because mostly teenagers drive them because they were not really that expensive and teenagers or their parents that could not afford anything better usually bought the G6 because it looks kind of sporty. I think G6 replaced the GrandAm.

U should film all day long

Tip for fishing strap under wheel. Unlock long reach is my favorite tool. Work may days in deep snow winching from ditches in Calgary, AB.

You just did what I thought you would do with the straps behind the seats. Well done Ron !!!

what a odd fish like the vid keep up the good work

Ron, are you going to have to have a SCUBA certification? I swear if I was younger I'd come up there and ask you for a job.

And so goes another fine job with Ron!!!!! Thank You Sir!!👍👍

Another job well done Mr. Ron

do you ever show what you do with the cars and trucks when you get back to the shop how to unload them and where you put them

First off excellent video as usual. What was the reason by you putting the strap under the seat as opposed to rim slings?

I really enjoy how you and the Police officer are friendly, polite, and courteous to each other :-) Thanks for sharing. And I fully understand the officer's desire to not process the car while it's half-way submerged

Very nice catch Ron, I was thinking maybe you should throw that one back in. :-D The COP was pretty cool. Thanks fer taking us along. Angelo

2 recovery in one day nice job

Well done Ron, I was waiting for you to break out the scuba gear lol, stay safe and god bless. pat. uk.

I've always questioned when a sidepuller would actually be good to have and I think you actually found the prime example.

Good Morning: As usual a great job done so professional. Thanks Ron. Really enjoyed it. Great way to start my morning.

Rather watch this than highway through hell.. Nice videos

Ron have you thought about buying a wrecker that has a rotating bed, it seems it would make your job easier and safer, be safe

Ron I love your videos and please stay safe when your out there you're amazing ❤️

Great video brother! I have to thank you and keep thanking you i always catch little tricks from you and the strap under the seat i never thought of it! Keep em coming and stay safe! God bless!

Holy cow

They were just playing Duke's of Hazzard.

Here in Canada where I live, it is the law that you must slow down when emergency vehicles are displaying their red and blue lights. Tow truck drivers have one of the most dangerous jobs. While watching your video clip it was freaky to see how fast those cars where driving by. My hats of too you.

Amazing video as always Ron, really love your content and what you do. Stay Safe and keep up the hard work.

Ron Pratt you need to invest in either scuba gear or snorkel gear

Well, hopefully you won't need to help the coach bus that I'm taking to Purdy, Missouri tomorrow. I'm head to camp Barnabas as a Counselor for Students with special needs. God Bless.

My thanks to you Ron and the Missouri State Highway Patrolman for working in such a dangerous road. In the blink of the eye you bought could be killed by one careless driver. I noticed how many cars and trucks didn’t move over even when the other lane was clear.

You guys are awesome I think I would have loved working with you. You are a real professionals and your whole business shines with it :) stay safe and keep the rubber side down.

Hey Ron! I have question, do you live in Kentucky?

Ditched it in more ways than one, lol. I drive an '06 G6 V6.

Ron you make it look easy that's because of your expertise, I have a GOPRO and use their handy remote.

Another great job done.Ron!

Hey Ron wouldn't you love to have a rotating rollback with a high winch

there's another car for ( Craigslist )

Nice catch Ron, hopefully you get paid for this one and she doesn't try to run off and desert it! Nice job as always!

Awesome video, God bless you and your family!

Was the driver ever found?

i chuckled and thought.....hydrolock ;-)

good Recovery restaurant on 96 and I enjoy watching your videos

Ron, have you ever had to look into getting a car crusher or wrecking company to come and clean the wrecked and abandoned vehicles off your lot just so you have somewhere to put them all? :D I reckon the meat on that G6 would be a funny riverbank grey color before and after cooking! :D

Hahaha! Change the title??

Victim of TWD(texting while driving) I presume?

GREAT JOB RON

i will be getting a hat or two love watching your videos . your a true pro at what you do sir.

Still there is the mystery of why they left the car there.

who pays you if the owner can't be found do you just end up with the wreck after a period of time

every day something new, love the channel

You really need to start selling hats. I'd buy a hat with your logo on it in a heartbeat. When that car went into neutral I was like Thank You Jesus! Great video as always. Stay safe out there, Jay

14:44 they left their iphone in the car?!?!

first

I just found your channel a few days ago. I know why there was a lot of G6's. During the Cash for Clunkers program, dealers had a surplus of Pontiac because people did not want the Pontiac due to them knowing that Pontiac was getting dropped. So some dealers was trying to push out the Pontiac line to get rid of the surplus during this. They did the same thing with the Pontiac G5 too. I know this because a few family members of mine got a G5's and G6's during that program.

great recovery Ron. I don't get why people don't move over and slow down it makes me mad some people don't care about other peoples lives. stay safe and God bless
