Rock & Roll-Over Log Truck 

There have been a lot of negative comments regarding one of the gentleman in this video smoking a cigarette around the oil that is on the road. First, there was not any diesel fuel and even if there were, diesel does not ignite that easily nor does the oil that is spilled on the road. Now if there were gasoline or certain other chemicals, it would be a different story. But, I have seen lit cigarettes get thrown onto diesel fuel and the only thing that happens is the cigarette is extinguished. Ask firefighters how difficult it is to ignite diesel fuel during training exercises. Although I do not condone smoking and I do not allow smoking from any of my crew at any crash site, I was not about to tell the gentleman that just saw a friend of 50 years involved in a horrible crash that he couldn't have a cigarette. If I felt it was unsafe, then I would have politely asked him not to smoke. Thanks for watching and God bless.

The gentleman who owns the truck (?) is clearly upset that one of his drivers has been involved in an accident and isn't well. To his credit, he's quietly and sensibly helping you out. At a time when you feel helpless, doing something to help out is part of the healing process. Good on you Ron for letting him participate. Being a logger, he's used to the same kind of equipment that Ron is using and it shows. He's helpful without being a nuisance and is obviously a very nice person himself. I sincerely hope and pray that the driver will make a full recovery. As always, this isn't just another wrecker/recovery story about machines and gear. Rather, the human story is at the fore and that is where this channel differs. I have a huge amount of respect for you Ron. Your hands are never idle, you are always polite and as much as you like the rotator and the gear you use, you never ever lose sight of the fact that they are tools to help people in trouble.

The man in the white tee shirt who helped is an unsung hero - hardworking, man of action. May God bless him and the driver.

The world would be a much better place if we had more folks of your integrity running things. Your Christian ethics are what makes the difference. Keep on doing the things you are doing. You are an excellent boss and teacher. May God continue to bless your ministry, Ron.

Mr. Pratt, the way that you complimented the truck owner. You helped settle his nerves when you told him you were sorry he was having a bad morning. You allowed him to help you and made sure your crew knew he had made the process easier by being there. Watching your videos. Told my husband that I now see why I needed geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus. You use slope, angles, redirects, all types of engineering and math to do your job.

Retired truck driver, appreciate your approach to people involved in accidents.

The gentleman who works for the trucking company is the kind of employee every company wants to hire. Prayers for the driver.

Mr. Pratt, thank you for this video. 10/1977 my father flipped a 1977 IH tractor with 2 trailers on Hwy 70 in the Feather River Canyon. Although not a 1977 IH tractor the extraction was the same. Dad survived, even returned to driving for the same company. Knowing this driver also survived and watching the clean up and removal made me feel better, why I don't know but this video put a 42 year old ghost to rest. Thank you.

Ron you should offer that guy a job he he was just helping he did awesome and he seem to be a nice guy he listened and followed directions very well. PERIODT!!

WOW, GREAT JOB GUYS. THE OPERATOR OF THE ROTATOR HAS THE ATTITUDE AND WORK ETHIC UNLIKE ANYONE I'VE EVER SEEN IN YEARS. IT IS DEFINITELY SECOND TO NONE. PEOPLE COULD SURE LEARN SOMETHING FROM THAT GENTLEMAN FOR SURE. THAT IS HOW A BUSINESS SHOULD BE RUN. CONGRATULATIONS.

I like how, even though you're under pressure, you're nice to everyone...

That was great help from the fella who works with log truck while knowing one of his work mates was in a poor way

Poor truck driver! Hope he still continue to work on his job on the roads! God bless him!

i like how patient you are to your workers and how you explain things. the way i look at it. the more they understand, the more independent and efficient your workers become. it may take a while, but the longer they are with you, the more proficient they become.

Your older helper was as handy as "a pocket on a shirt". I am exhausted by my trying to stay with Ron. Youth is great!

At the risk of sounding like I repeat myself, Ron as ever the consumate professional, courtesy to others and always thankful for any help. Well done my friend.

Boy, you sure don't need to go to the gym and pay to get a work out. With a job like this, you get paid to have a hell of a work out! No wonder you're trim! Rain, shine, snow, ice, cold and hot and humid weather. In and out of water, electric lines, crazy traffic zooming by, and loud noises, hauling heavy chains, straps, hooks, cables. I can't imagine how exhausting these jobs are, and you never blow your stack at any one either. Seems you don't get much of a chance to rest up and have time with your family or even eat and use a bathroom. It's a heck of a sacrifice you're making for others. You do it all with a ton of patience and grace under fire. Never a dull moment. I don't know how you do it, Ron.

This chap seems to be very helpful. Would be a good helper in your crew.

You are a good Boss. The way you talk to your guys is great!

The man in the white t shirt is what we all need to learn from , good man right there.

When I saw those three bottles of water, I knew you were going to give one away. You may have had your own in the cab, but, you have a great heart.

I just love watching a professional do his thing.

Ron one never knows how blessed until you see someone like the driver injuried. And the man who helped you so much has to be worried quiet a bit. I hope and pray you knocked off a few bucks for his helping you out. And you may have gained a friend. God bless my friend.

As man delves deeper into technology and "progress" our machines have become larger and far more dangerous. 80,000 lbs. moving at 50+ mph can wreak havoc as we can plainly see from this video. By Father's Grace the driver survived and prayerfully with no permanent injuries. It's fascinating to watch professionals work a scene like this. It's extremely dangerous working with 50K Hydraulic Winches and high tension cables. They sure do make a complex accident recovery look simple. All the best Ron! Be safe out there and Father bless and keep you and your family!!!

This is a true reality show.....reality with nothing added such as narrations, music, or interviews.

All the best to that bloke who helped out from the beginning. Champion! From australia

30:30 This is how you run a successful business. You answer your phone and return your phone calls. Great job Ron, you are clearly an expert in your field. Love your videos and wish you the best.

I’m only 6 minutes and man I truly appreciate this man, kind, courteous, professional! Well done sir! More people like you are needed

Ron you are good man and I like the way you speak the guys around you and the clients ...Well done Sir.👍👨‍🦳

@Ron Pratt, I could sit and watch your videos all day. Oops, wait a minute, I DO sit and watch them all day. Some of my friends make fun of me when I say that I love watching wrecker recovery videos and talk about how educational you make them. They ask what a 70-year old retired teacher needs to learn about wrecker recoveries. I guess that's a good question. The answer is that I don't really need to learn anything, but I just get drawn into your videos. You explain what you're doing, why you are doing it, and you do it in such a kind way. I love seeing you teach your younger workers how to do the job with such patience. I also love the fact that you love the Lord. The world needs more business owners like you, Ron. Keep up the good work! ~~ Betty O

I've been watching a lot of your videos. (I'm a retired old geezer). I'm not a tow guy or trucker. Watching these videos gives me a whole new respect for what you all have to deal with. On the lighter side, since I've watched, I've learned and can now second guess what you will do to get the particular problem solved. Well done you and your crew. Be safe out there.

That one guy helping you has DEFINITELY seen this once or twice , or 10 times

The Truck driver that helped you out was trying his best to "impress" you so he could get away from the job he's at and work for ya'lls company...I believe he would and you as well would benefit from a very hard worker like him self!!! my opinion only

Been watching your content for a long time and greatly have enjoyed it. One thing I have really noticed that I haven't seen anyone else say is the wide gap in skill sets between many of the other staff members with the company. I have no doubt Ron has people that work with him, it just seems like his expertise is well above and beyond everyone else. The gentleman who offered so much help honestly seemed to be more help and worked harder than the other crew that was there. Again, I know this isn't something you can comment on due to the risk of alienating your teammates, just what I have observed Former medic here and worked my share of wrecks, and by far you are the best I have ever seen. Thanks and God bless.

Tks for sharing. Isn’t it nice to roll upon a scene like this and being able to talk to the ppl like nothing has happened to them. Bonus when nobody was hurt 🙏🏻

Hey Ron, you're doing a great job. I appreciate how you explained how you are rigging. The way you explain to your coworkers how to do what you're doing with respect, you're a good man. Thank you for this video.

Hard-work....did not take a break even a second. Very inspirational! Quick thinking. Tools were very organized. Clear and concise instructions. Appreciative. Patience. In control. Love the Remote Control, the monitors, the rear view camera, and the truck itself. You’re a role model Sir! God bless you and your love ones.

The courtesy of all crew members involved is outstanding. You’ve got a group of great guys on your hands. And to be concerned about the driver is always a plus just shows how great of people you guys truly are. Love to see it keep up the great work

That was so nice of the trooper to bring water to the guys! He didn’t have to, what a testimony!

Ron you are such of pleasant person to listen to while you are working and nice to everyone.

I can never stand around and watch someone else work without jumping in. Good attitude from the guy with the white tee shirt

You're professional, courteous, complimentary, kind, caring & extremely knowledgeable about your business. I found the whole video fascinating. I hope the driver fully recovered. Also, the man that owned the truck was so helpful. Way to go.

I always said any one you can walk a way from is a good one! That older guy was a god send never asked just jumped in! Don't find that to much today sadly. 73. Bill

Everyone's gotta find something negative to say about everything. I seen him with the cigarette but I was just impressed by eagerness & knowledge to help you. This was a super interesting to watch. Blown away by the work you performed and the hard work ethic. Nice 👌

You know you're addicted to these videos when you know where all the gear goes!

Ah, the irony of a tree helping in the rescue of a log truck.

A Holms tree from the days of the old Holms wreckers. Man that brings back memories. Just thinking of how for the industry has come. God bless

Love that work ethic. He has to be there anyway, so he might as well be useful.

Ron has is one of the nicest and respectful men to work for 👍.

Ron Pratt is one of the most humble, down to earth, hardest working, honest professional business owner there is. Thank you Ron for posting these awesome videos.

Ron, having watched several of your videos I have come to really appreciate the way that you interact with people. You embody the definition of "a gentleman". We would do well to have more like you. You also really know your job well, but that's something entirely different. :)

Ive never seen such a professional tow and recovery man! Out here in Oregon its a whole different game. Awesome work Ron!

I love watching your recovery videos. You help a lot of people at a very critical time in a very professional and caring manner. It's amazing how you size up a problem, make a plan, adjust as needed. With your hat camera I feel like I'm riding in the cab with you and by your side helping out. I also love your thanking and praising God after every successful recovery. May God ride with you and your team and keep you all safe. Kay

Ron, I am a follower of your video's. I love them. I am a truck drivers daughter and I love the rotator. I love your video's. May god bless the driver of the log truck that rolled over. I hope he makes a full recovery. God bless you and your crew. Your son, daughter, Talon, Ethan yourself, your Dad and Raymond and all I have missed. Please be safe my friend. I wish the driver of the log truck that rolled over a prayer for a full recovery. I love you guys. : - )

I'm new to your channel. I've seen four or five of your videos and appreciate your attitude towards your employees, and those involved in the accidents. On beginning this video, one thing really stood out to me: You didn't wait for your crew to arrive to start laying out your tackle. A lot of operators I've known over the years would have waited until they could move the truck closer to the site so as not to have to schlep the heavy gear all that distance. That, sir, establishes your testimony more than about anything else you do, including your clean language and attitude. It is a blessing to now subscribe to your channel.

Ron i always enjoy watching you flip a tractor/trailer over. You're new helper there needs to be on payroll . Those tow hooks look great

Ron that guy was a great help worth you offering him a job he allmost knew what you wanted him to do without you telling him . He knew more than another companies employees who I follow when you don’t post anything .

The more I watch y’all the more I want to leave my job and come do this . Hard work and long hours but it’s something that looks and feels so rewarding

That guy that was helping you was a great asset to you. I like how some people just pitch in to help , while others just stand there and do nothing. I grew up in that generation that your father instilled into you to help. I'm sure your Dad was the same. Hope the driver is doing well.

The guy smoking was actually a really big help in this whole process.

I really appreciate you for your positive demeanor and the way you get your point across even when interrupted, very professional and yet personable at the same time.

No doubt that driver had the good lord looking out for him. I hate log truck accidents they very rarely end well. My thoughts and prayers are with the driver and his family. God bless

Wow the logs went thru the cab and missing the driver, that is a blessing for sure!

I watched this very video many years ago but your videos are so awesome I will watch the same ones again and again. Your logic is amazing.❤️you are a true inspiration

What a team. The owner/driver/boss man is very skilled in what he does. My hat is off to him and his team.

Hey Ron, you are very polite and respectful of everyone around you. You are a good man and do great work. Thank you for the videos!

There are very few people who I can sit and watch for an hour and a half and be interested the whole time. Man time just flew by on this phenomenal video. Keep up the amazing content and God bless you and your family!

I love watching the Rotator work off-freeway where its not so stressfull with traffic whipping by constantly!!

Hope the driver recover ok. I felt so bad for him then to hear he only had liability, I was really sad. Lost his whole hauling set up but half it wasn't worse than it was. I drove a log truck for years and they love to sway and easily rolled.

I'm a granny in a nursing home. I now understand what all goes on when the lane is blocked and I see you trucker drivers ahead. I respect you. I enjoyed this. May you be protected.

I'm always amazed at your great attitude when you are doing these pulls. Your empathy is awesome for those folks who are upset because of the accident etc. Hats off to you Ron for your kind spirit with your customers. Love the videos!

I've always like watching this channel, Part of me has wanted to do an apprenticeship type thing but I'm all the way in NC and I'm trying to become a State Trooper be safe out there Ron

Great work by everyone and the guy who was helping Ron deserves a shout out. Glad the driver made it wow

The snatch block is to redirect from the tree to the the rigging you have set up on the truck ignore the negative comments you are true professional and you know what is safe and unsafe God bless from towtruck operator from California

Ron, I haul logs and if that guy couldn't have got by you, he won't make it in the woods. good job and again, nice to see professionalism without the reality show drama.

I enjoy watching guys work that know what they are doing. I definitely see the experience & pride you take in all you do! Unfortunately in this new world we live in-there is always someone that has to criticize or say something negative. Great job!

I can't believe I watched the whole video. For some reason I've been on a kick of watching how things get done. Got a rolled over semi? Then you call a guy and watch him work. Good stuff.

I love how polite he is lol I can’t stop watching ❤️😩

Ron Pratt wow I have to say Ron you absolutely know what you are doing absolutely amazing to watch you and the crew do your thing man alive yes . Thanks for the nice video all be blessed with loving care and grace.

Watching, and Ron - I DO APPRECIATE YOUR MANAGEMENETE AND control of what you do.. be safe.

Love that guy. ( logger man) He Said,” been dun once or twice!”

Great video Ron. Perfect way to start my day with a rotator Ron video. The pick up sticks comment you put on the video made me laugh, so I know my day is starting off good. Was real nice of the guy to help you set up, while waiting for the rest of your crew to show up. Most people would just stand back and watch. But not that gentleman. He is the type of person that tries to help people when they can. A prayer sent for the driver of the truck. And another sent for you and your crew. Stay safe out there, and god bless

Every video I watch with the rotator I'm always amazed how packed full of stuff it is

I'm praying the driver makes a full recovery ; with regard to the gent smoking on the job , Ron he was a "God Sent", if people have nothing better to do but make negative comments , then join the club , Ron , as an Ozzie Truckie I had and heard so many negative comments from People who wouldn't no their elbow from their elbow from their backside so , just ignore the the negativity Mate and remember , Your a Professional !

I do roadside rescue in South Carolina and I apprecIate how you folks show how this business should be done. From one believer to another.

I love the early morning like this with the sun rippling thru the trees, I can almost feel and smell the cool morning air. Thank you again, Ron.

Many prayers are with the driver and his family. I would imagine that was one heck of a ride. Not to mention a might nerve racking. I hope he makes a full recovery and is able to return to work soon. Great video Ron as always. Thanks for sharing and God bless

Wow Ron, that must be every tow truck drivers nightmare! Blocking the road on it's side while spilling it's load all over the highway. Not to mention all the fuel on the road. At least the logs fared better than the truck and that unfortunate driver they had to cut out of the cab. Good job on that one Ron.....

I really like the written explanations you include. Such a great vid.

you sir are a prime proof of American awesomeness. thanks for the vdeo

Good job Ron, Hope the driver has a fast and speedy recovery. God Bless

it is pleasant experience to see a gentleman going about his day

You popped up in my recommend. Coming from a girl, I'm glad it did. You've got a great setup, nice rigs, etc. I never realized what all was involved in this job. Fascinating to watch. Educational. A strenuous job. How's the muscles and joints? That was awesome of the fella to help you. Thanks for sharing.

Ron, again, want to say thanks for being so professional. That's one of the main reasons I enjoy your videos, even on the chaos you're calm, collect and polite.

What a brilliant help the semi driver was to you " Yes the one smoking" he's been there and done that! So to all the negative feed back from people less in the know. Ron answered it brilliantly above.

I really like the way you called William over to explain and show him why the hook was modified the way it was. I also liked that he let you know, "Now it makes sense" - LOL!

Sir you have a good crew working for you God keeps your men strong hearted.

LOVE THE INTRO. LIKE A 1980s CAPTAIN AMERICA TV SHOW OR SUMTHIN'. BRILLIANT

I love it how the guy from the crashed truck danced around helping the recovery team. Amazing. He just knew what had to be done and he did the little he could.

My God, man... You're such a nice guy, so patient, so caring, good teacher and supervisor. You never yell nor get upset and always make sure people understand and do an extra effort to teach the new guy. I wish I had a boss like you. And that man was really nice too. I didn't quite understand him at times, but nice fellow.
