    • @RonPratt
      @RonPratt 21 час назад

      revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=304.022 In many states, including Missouri where we are located, towing and recovery units are considered Emergency Response Vehicles. Most of the time we will only utilize the emergency amber lighting. However, when and only when we are dispatched to a scene to "expedite" are we permitted to use the lights and sirens, or "run code." This is NOT the decision of the towing company or driver, but ONLY by the dispatching Law Enforcement entity. This is done after training and not without an abundance of caution. It is not often that we are dispatched to run code, but it is legal when requested. I have attached the link above to further help clarify this practice. Thank you for watching and God bless.

    Florida made a revision to the move over law that went into effect the first of the year that you must move over or slow down to the minimum speed allowed for ANY vehicle on the side of ANY rlad/highway. Even for abandoned cars that may have been there for days, and there is no warning citations given, at least in my area. They are enforcing it in the panhandle like crazy. If every state would start enforcing it in the slightest way it wouldn't take long for word to get around and the work environment would change

    On privacy grounds I don't do social media other than youtube, the thought occurs to me that a short series for channel noobs would possibly be of interest. i'm watching "Twisted Truck" which I've not noticed before but was roughly around the time I subscribed. Assuming you have the time and inclination to create such a series I would see it covering covering topics such as: Basic operation of the trucks, for example does opening the winch controls on one side lock out the other side? The function of the raised axel? How power is reouted between driving the truck and operating the winches, etc. The dynamic of the complex rigging used in "Twisted Truck" to use a single winch to apply force in two places. The bules-n-twos rules. An overview of the economics of the recovery business. General on-site safety, etc. You know your audience better than I and may have additional/better ideas but as a retied IT guy I would find such content 'facinating'

    I was dumping a Loader bucket of gravel out of my trialer one night to clean something out of it. It was dark, and I couldn't see the trialer tires I got out of the truck to go see if the trialer that cleaned out and the tail gate had got on another pile of gravel and all 8 tires on the trailer was off the ground and it was Is leaning to one side. I ran back up to the truck and pushed the down button. It came back down, right. That was as close as I came to turning an end dump over in the 9 years I pulled one. That happened at the start of the time I was pulling an end dump. That made me watch things a lot closer when I was dumping the dark. Great job, guys. Stay safe, and God bless you'll. Dan 🇺🇸

It is very comforting to see a young man who is responsible, respectful, and VERY respectable that lives his life maybe about "half a bubble off plumb"!!! You are a very lucky man, Ron Pratt! It does my heart good to see a man who owns a very successful business that has his family members diligently working shoulder to shoulder with him! Ron, I have exactly ZERO doubt that your Dad is looking down on all y'all with a very big, satisfied, and proud smile on his face because he is so very proud of what y'all are doing to prosper and continue to build the company that he built with the help of his own family!!! I very much enjoy all of your content! I never miss a single episode and typically watch them within 4 to 6 hours of your upload!!!! Thank you for your integrity!!!

    It's not the first time you've had to take 3 'bites' at the 'apple'! That said, this one must have been the most challenging. Well done in averting a potential rollover. That post probably would've come off second best! Overall, a difficult, and potentially dangerous, task completed without major incident and another stranded trucker pulled out of a sticky situation. Indeed, comms would have helped and, maybe, having another vehicle, eg the rotator, on scene. Nevertheless, well done Ethan and Ron in getting the job done. Ron and Ethan, you should both be proud of each other for knowledge (Ethan) and excellent teaching (Ron). Greetings from the UK. God bless.
