Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching. Today we have quite to weird, odd, whatever you want to call it, situation We are called to recover an abandoned Lincoln Navigator. Abandoned vehicles are common, but the location and situation are what are so strange about this job. A nice looking SUV is left in a ditch on a dead end road with the keys in it. There is nobody around the vehicle and the registered owner can't be reached. It may not look like it, but this is a pretty hefty pull for the winch on the our Peterbilt 337 with a Miller Industries, Century LCG-12. Thankfully, there is no traffic whizzing by and we have time to think about the job as well as have a little fun with some of the guys at the same time. Oh, and Ethan gets to sign his first official tow sheet!!! I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

Good morning RU-vid Land. First I want to offer a gracious thanks to all who watch my husband's videos that now contain lots of on the job training for the new generation. What I want to offer are some insights into what is happening and some questions you may have posed.....of course this is from a wife and mother's perspective so be aware. Our son, Ethan and his friend Gavon went to a technical college and are back learning their trade from Ron. There are many things that a technical college with outdated equipment and less enthusiastic trainers could not offer, but Ron could. These young men are 19 and working at learning. The commentary has.mostly been positive, but I believe that some are extremely harsh. Yes they are rookies, yes they have much to learn and NO they are not on someone's sofa.playing video games. With experience, training and maturity these young men will be some of the best. They are often compared to Ron and that is incredibly lopsided as he has had more than 30 years in the industry. When adults are so critical of a younger generation, that will NOT produce positive change. Each individual in the workforce had a starting point. Remember when it was you? I do understand safety concerns and these will always be addressed. Please understand, these 19 year Olds are working toward CDL endorsements for Hazardous Material transport and handling as well as working when help is nearly impossible to find. Be uplifting with your constructive commentary rather than working to deflate someone who is learning. I hope most understand this is not directed at them, but at the haters and joy stealers. Thank you to those who are positive and continue to support this journey. Much love to you and God bless.

@roboftherock Год назад

Well said, Mom Pratt.

@JohnHallgren Год назад

Great message! You should be proud of Ethan and Gavon because a fancy 2-4 year college degree isn’t really useful to learn the business skills for your company! There’s plenty of well paying jobs that require OJT as the primary method of education. Better to spend that time working with an experienced driver like Ron than sitting in class learning things that have no use in the real work world for your industry. Yes, maybe classes like physics, technical writing, accounting, etc would be useful but there are plenty of classes one takes at a regular college or university that have zero use in that job. I have a friend who’s daughter has a master’s degree in international studies (whatever that is!) and she’s now working in a bakery and doing house staging for homes being sold. Personally, I only got a AS degree in computer science in 1978 but knew more how to program than most of the folks with BS degrees! Keep up the great work!

@christopherkeller2675 Год назад

This channel is what got me interested in towing as a career I’ve been at it for one year and always learning something new I just completed my 2/3 wreckmaster course today I learned so much in the last 2 days.

@rcatyvr Год назад

You tell 'em Mom.

@Chaplain_GM Год назад

Well Said Momma Pratt

@Bigbear4224 Год назад

Ethan is becoming a great operator because of all the great training he has received from Ron himself. I think Ron has done about every recovery that is possible and he makes them look so easy. Ethan you have a great father and teacher.

@JackMacLupus Год назад

Well, you can truly say that Ethan learned from the best. And he is doing everything he can to become the new best.

@libby5335 Год назад

The younger guys are doing a great job. Ron is a good teacher. The best way to learn is on the job training. And to Mom Pratt - thanks for standing up for your guys! What you said was very well put! We enjoy watching these videos. It's amazing how Ron can figure out how to hook things up so the cable will pull in a certain direction. And he's very patient with all his crew. God bless all of you and keep you safe.

@AWRay1300 Год назад

Ethan, you are learning from the best. Congratulations on your CDL. Ron, I can tell that you are very proud of what your son is becoming as an operator. May all be well for a very long future.

@johnclevesjr6869 Год назад

dude's got mad backing skills!

@ccole9080 Год назад

lots of practice

@ccole9080 Год назад

key to the practicing is to keep backing up till you hit someting..... then pull up a foot

@ccole9080 Год назад

tow truck driver .... or Navigator driver...... HMMMM ....survey says Tow Truck Driver 😀

@JV-pu8kx Год назад

Consider the teacher.

@t.l.robinson2162 Год назад

That's because Ron taught him.

@jerrywright812 Год назад

I remember Ron telling Ethan to stay in the truck and waiting on mom to come get him because they got a call while running errands and he was to young to be on a scene. Now he's all growed up and running a truck. Time sure flies.

@bellum128 Год назад

It's been cool seeing Ethan grow, from a kid doing ride alongs only a few years ago, to taking the reigns of these trucks and profession now!

@jamesalinio5277 Год назад

Ethan is coming along quite nicely, he's acquiring great skills from the best teacher he can ever have, and he's learning how to do it correctly Great job guys 👏

@dougseger4212 Год назад

Murphy's law.......if you back in there will be 10 places to turn around. If you drive in you will be backing out! Mater would not be pleased though! You don't need a swivel seat if you use your mirrors!🙂

@flybyairplane3528 Год назад

RON,, GOOD MORNING, hello, good to see ETHAN taking charge, I’ll bet the OWNER, will report CAR STOLEN, ,,things just do not look right,,,,,,,,GOD BLESS YOU ALL, , STAY WELL, 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@Samanthareneeheart10 Год назад

Ethan' s first roll back recovery & I'm glad he is doing so well at this job. He had 2 great teachers, mainly you, but your dad as well.

@marapeters5464 Год назад

My neck hurts watching Ethan back up that far but he did a great job. Ron, you are so patient during these teaching moments.

@terrymccartney7185 Год назад

should have been using the mirrors to back in.

@norfolkhall Год назад

@@terrymccartney7185 Why ? I was taught to look in the direction of travel, and you have a great view using those huge rear windows.

@themowingman8397 Год назад

You all did a wonderful job with the quick and speedy recovery and Ethan did spectacular backing up

@djplayskeys Год назад

Can we just take a moment and acknowledge how awesome Ethan's cowboy hardhat is? That young man gets more confident in himself with every video you share and his knowledge and skills grow exponentially every time as well. And of course has one of the best as his teacher.. By the time Ron (semi) retires he will be a master operator.

@TheKobotron Год назад

I’m a tow truck driver you are doing amazing job God bless you.

@gregtuttle2709 Год назад

Ethan is a great operator! He had a great teacher. I like the way you work Ron! God bless you Sir.

@DeweyCheatumNHoweLLC Год назад

I liked Ethan's sense of humor. When he said rolling it over with Gavin in it would make good RU-vid content

@jonathanbair523 Год назад

The trooper also had a good little joke about just lifting it up and moving it a foot by hand.

@mike1234138 Год назад

Just started my towing career 3 days ago your videos are so helpful thank you so much for making these stay safe sir and stay blessed 🙌

@seanconlin8712 Год назад

Ethan congratulations on getting your CDL you are going to be a great Operator soon and Ron you have a fine son there he is doing great.

@ronaldharmon9891 Год назад

The Officer "Gavin now grab the rear and pull it this way about a foot and a half." 😂 Gavin claimed to be strong👏

@buddybarker8511 Год назад

Every pick and every challenge is a learning opportunity Keep up the good work and be patient Ethan

@bigboyd9775 Год назад

Spectacular Ethan. I’m sure your grandfather is just thrilled. I know Ron you’re excited. You guys are great.

@frklein1 Год назад

Safety is the main thing! As a retired police officer, I was always told, if you don’t get there safely, you can’t do anyone any good!

@petercresswell9517 Год назад

Your comment Ethan "has done some jobs Quite well" cracked me up

@shanepauley4963 Год назад

Awesome job Ethan I can tell your Dad is proud of you again great job Ethan!!!

@altonivy6719 Год назад

I for one am very impressed with the work that these youngsters do, they are learning from a master as far as I can see, and he is teaching them the right way to do things, keep up the good work we love every video

@bobcompton5145 Год назад

Ron , this SUV is WAY off the beaten path, backing up for a very long distance, is crazy!!!! This type of SUV is NOT meant for serious off roading, especially with road tires!!!!! Much love to you Ron and your family/team!!!!!!! Stay safe in whatever you do on a daily basis!!!!!!! God bless you and your family/team!!!!!! Your family member, friend Bob Compton from maryland

@loosemoose9799 Год назад

Ron, it's always a pleasure to watch professionals work and your relationship with the police is super.

@TheRealTronGuy Год назад

Ethan's doing really well! And if Trooper Spain wants something to keep himself busy with after he retires, you can always hire him...

@JimMW1956 Год назад

Looks Like Ethan has mastered his backing skills. Lotsa dust flying in reverse. Great job! Backing up was always one of my favorite maneuvers.

@theolderigetthewrongbitget4746 Год назад

Scary reverse driving, things can go wrong pretty quickly whilst driving that fast in reverse.

@stephenruss2015 Год назад

The troopers cracking me up

@barbaralafferty7881 Год назад

My husband and I have been fans of your videos for a while now. we love them. I wanted to add please be careful out there. We live in the Texas panhandle and this week one of our tow truck drivers was killed on the highway while loading a vehicle on the side of the road. So very sad. saying a special prayer for you and all you guys out there. Everyone needs to, no mater the color of flashing lights, slow down and move over.

@keithbuckley3220 Год назад

Ethan, don't argue with the boss - he's seen it, done it and got the Tee shirt dozens of times.

@jamesleake2121 Год назад

Congratulations Ethan on your 1st recovery you had some good teachers your grandfather and your dad, Ron looks like you might need another pickup for you to drive to the job sites since Ethan has taken over the rollback, hope you your family and the Midwest Crew have a wonderful safe weekend

@mylonwatterud2228 Год назад

Job well done. Ethan is a good operator. With more recoveries Ethan will be up there with the best. Keep up the good work.

@davidwayne9982 Год назад

I miss that--- I can go backward better than I can go forward a LOT.. especially towing-- loved it. I've tried recently- since I'm now "one eye"- and can't do it any more. So not only can I not do the work because of physical injuries compounded by age- but can't see well (depth perception and peripheral vision shot).. OH well. I'm official retirement age in april.. although I was forced to retire 4 years ago.

@FotoASes Год назад

Great job, Ethan & Co. from Spain.

@velvetreynolds5458 Год назад

What a wonderful job your son did and the way your crew and the state trooper work together was great thank you for sharing this video

@grimreaper6557 Год назад

Ethan did an awesome job backing up and assessing the situation. Of courses he is learning from the best his dad 😁 great job as always

@pinleyterry7667 Год назад

Man your young man has some great backing skills Ron you have thaught Ethan very well I know that you are very proud of him & he seems like a great young man who listens very well you don't see many young men like him anymore. Ron may God continue to bless you & your Family & your Employees @ Midwest Truck

@eric8797 Год назад

Great job with the recovery Ethan that looked like a tough one to get from a steep ditch, Ron keep up the great work and the team knows very well different way to accomplish the same end result.

@jeffclark2725 Год назад

A great recovery here,its amazing what people get into,I remember that frozen rut filled road you and your father recovered a dead little car using a Dakota truck, that was a great recovery also,

@TowMan127 Год назад

Great job! Congratulations to Ethan on getting his CDL and hope to see more videos of him in action. 🤜🤛

@psc777 Год назад

I grew up working with my dad in a family owned Goodyear. I can say it’s tough living AND working with your dad. He always regretted getting me into the auto repair business, but I learned so much from him. He could fix anything even not auto repair stuff.

@steveweideman6417 Год назад

Congratulations Ethan on your CDL!!!!!! You have a awesome dad and teacher, I am sure your dad is very proud of you and how you are progressing. AWESOME JOB

Morning Mr Ron prayers for your family and employees have a blessed weekend

@yesspectpmservice Год назад

Since Ethan is becoming the new or additional star of the show, we like to see all his learning skills. You cut out how he drove into the scene passing the trouper vehicle. You may not like to cut too many video parts. If anyone finds something boring they will forward the video anyway. But what Ethen does is of so much interest to us real fans, please.

@jonathanbair523 Год назад

I say let the camera role, from first getting on site to leaving... The real fans will watch it all if they got the time.. Then some just can skip to where you start the recovery if they don't want to watch it all...I love seeing you guys drive in the wonder full views from farm land, rivers and forests..

@polarlicht4758 Год назад

Expensive car, in the middle of nowhere, ditched in a ditch with the keys in? Stolen is my guess...

@armchairgeneralissimo Год назад

Or a drunk driver who got stuck and has abandoned the car to escape a DWI charge.

@Mahees_230 Год назад

During my time in sanitation, whenever the truck needs to cycle, we would call out "Power." You brought those memories back when you said PTO to Ethan. He will be a great tower because he has a great teacher. And I learned that the J hook is not used in recovery. I would only use it to secure the vehicle to the bed.

@jaredstrehlein5605 Год назад

Nice work. Every call is different, and with every call we learn more and more. Practice makes perfect.

@jonathanbair523 Год назад

I wonder if someone was looking for deer to set up a hunting stand, on why they where down there..... Way to go Ethan on learning so much from your dad, cant wait to see you doing this by your self!

@fhuber7507 Год назад

Could just be kids joy-riding in one of their parent's vehicles and lost it.... Then they scurry home and deny everything

@combatmedic1980 Год назад

Ron, you should be very proud of Ethan backing down that tight dirt road, I would rate that !00% mighty fine job !!!!!!!!!!!

@Jory56D Год назад

This is very cool to see stuff like this, wish I had help like that while I was working, it's hard doing that stuff by yourself, my truck only had air controls for the winch, I loved my 337, and glad to see that Ethan is going in your footsteps

@dalestpirerre2756 Год назад

This is making me remember backing a walking floor triaxle 2 miles to pick up a load of stumps. Luckily for me I had the owner of the stumps running ahead of me to make sure the way was clear. Nothing but dirt road.

@nousername102 Год назад

From a rookie wrecker operator gotta say well done! I'm still learning myself, but still awesome. Got some damn good teachers.

@markcartersr4483 Год назад

Ethan, You need to use your side mirrors all can. For your bigger trucks, you CAN NOT use the back glass. I had 3+ years of backing before I drove forward. ( I was your age or younger when I started driving). Ron, you're doing a great job.

@vgmbael Год назад

Awesome use of the endless I only carry one but great use, what won this is the neutral override. Some small hints we had allot of hands on this one I am giving my ideas as we all have them. Alone I would angle my bed to the rear drivers side tire. Next hook the far side mini J not inner with a snatch on the line for adjustments. Get tension and override if possible if not go right to trans and do it there. Start pulling use snatch if needed generally will take a few minutes extra but your alone. Once everything is pulling semi straight connect second mini and finish pull

@donnamitchell7707 Год назад

Ethan is doing a fantastic job, and he will make a great operator. I hope you and your family have a great weekend my friend ❤🙂🤗⚘.

@sethgulley555 Год назад

Ron you are very patient and you should be very proud of Ethan for everything he has learned as well we all should, I know getting a class b cdl is easier then a class a, but it still hard to get. I have a class A cdl, I had a class b before that

First Off Well Done Ethan And Gavon (Pink Hard Hat Warrior) 😄 You Two Will Be Excellent Operators One Day You do Surprise me with that Skill backing up a long Bodied Vehicle I would have had to stop several times and i have Been driving over 30 years and the training dad's Giving You is Paying Off immensely God Bless you all

@CaseysOffRoadRecovery Год назад

I love how you teach your guys the right way to do the job! Great Recovery and a perfect example of confidence. Have you showed them how to hook a chain and the rear and winch forward to slide the rear end over?
