Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!!! Today, is just another day in the life of a towing & recovery operator. Christmas Eve, late evening call out for a car off the interstate, down a steep embankment, and stradling a ditch. I have the Peterbilt 337 rollback Miller LCG12 at home with me, so I take it to check out the situation, only to find out that I didn’t bring enough truck with me for this job. So, I call Oscar to bring out the Rotator, our Century 1150R, to help me do a little “Fishing in the dark”, again, on Christmas Eve. Oh well, that’s just part of the job. ENJOY!!!
Thank you, God, for blessing our family and our business. Watch as we continue to receive God’s blessings. There is much more to come!!! I hope you enjoy this video!!!
We have a difficult and dangerous job and we take it very seriously, that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun and enjoy our work. We strive to be polite, professional, efficient, and safe…and still can have fun. I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

My common analogy, “there are many ways to reach 10”. I could have approached this (any) job several different ways. The approach method is important, but more important is achieving the desired result, safely.
Again, a very special thank you to all my viewers, family, and friends who having taken the time to show their support. May God bless and protect you all!!!

please make video on whole fleet from unit no. 1 to unit no. 18
I don't think that will buff out
That truck is all lit up like a Xmas tree. Good job
When did "midwest truck" start owning a skid steer?
Oscar is turning into a very hood operator. Im glad you gave him the controls.
One question… Nobody apparently seriously hurt, if at all, everyone out, why call you out on Christmas eve? it can sit there no problem for a few days, won't hurt anything.. How many vehicles have been seen in the last week buried in snow on the side of the road? Heck, a few weeks ago, on the way to a hockey game for my daughter, I saw a car pretty far down the right side on I-270N that had apparently been there for a minute… If it's not on the roadway causing traffic issues, then it truly can wait and you don't need to be called out for such clearings in the middle of the night or on holidays. Not to mention operations like this tend to be safer for you in daylight hours. IMO, there was no reason they had to call you out to deal with it when they did. They could absolutely have waited.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!! God bless and protect.
"You drove it, you run it'. Ron is a class act. Calls for his favorite fishing pole and lets the guy that brought it fish with it. Great work Ron and crew!
Ron, did I spy new strip lighting on the rotator? 10:45
Sorry, not sure what to call it. The amber steady burn strip above the side compartments.
With that older Crown Vic so Destroyed, I hope it's not coal in your Christmas eve stocking when the job's pay day rolls around. I hope you and the family had a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year.
Another Racecar in the ditch.😂
Love the new PFP
Hard to let others make decisions, but you have taught all them very well. Time to let them fly under your watchful eye.
Ron, You and Oscar both make a great partnership. Whilst the rest of the Christian world were celebrating Christmas Eve, you were down in the shrubbery at the side of the Interstate.!! Oscar is a really solid addition to your team. He must be!! You let him drive the rotator!! A Happy New Year to all of you at MidwestTruck. I look forward to another entertaining year of Ron Pratt videos. Best Wishes from the UK. Roy W.
the background photo you had on your cellphone on Christmas eve i must say Mr. Ron Sir i sure do love the photo of that beautiful Lion
Hopefully no one was hurt to badly
You and your family and workers have a blessed New Year!!❤
Hey Ron and the crew of Midwest Truck. I hope you all had a good and safe holiday season. That poor Crown Vic. i was ablet to tell what it was by looking at the keypad on the driver side door.
Just an FYI. I have been binge watching the original Hawaii Five 0. In on of the episodes they were looking fora suspect. He had about 5 aliases. One of the names was Ron Pratt. This was back in 1972-3.
Another great recovery!
Folks in that one went for quite a ride
Nice job operating the rotator Oscar.
Glad you guys made a Safe recovery on the highway at Night…!
Oscar is the best. Employee of the year? He has my vote. You guys make a great pair.
Ron, every time I hear you ask for permission to approach the scene, I'm reminded of your dad. I remember in one video at a train tanker derailment, y'all were cautious to approach because you weren't sure what it was carrying. Your dad proceeded past all of you to start surveying the site. I thought to myself, that is years of experience right there! He seemed to always have that sixth sense about him to the limitations of each task at hand. I loved watching him work. A man of few words, but those spoken were experienced and valuable. Ethan reminds me of him in that way from time to time. Murfreesboro, TN
My first guess was 03 up crown Victoria. But when I saw the wheel covers, figured grand Marquis. But always go with the first assumption
Lol
Love how Ron used this as a teaching opportunity for Oscar.
Ron and crew a belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Love Oscar he not affair to work Merry Christmas
where are Raymond and Mike
I can't believe you actually threw that chain across the hood…Dude, you'll scratch the paint..
You need a bigger truck and they needed a handi-wipe. WOW!
Its hard to turn things over when you have done it for so long and know exactly what you want done its just in the DNA of your business being so successful
Great job Ron .
Ron, you continue to impress me with your patience and positive attitude.
When I seen the White car I was thinking, Cadillac, night fishing for White Catfish, but when I seen the shape of the left rear of the car, I thought possible Lincoln Town Car, but I missed it. I always like watching Ron’s videos, because he is so humble & cares about people
Great time for training! It’s good to see that you can step back and let one of the other guys do something new. I started to train some of our new guys and stepping back and letting them do it is the hardest part!
Great job Oscar
Oh not a panther. 🙁 Always hate to see another taken off the road.
One Crown Vic that Cleetus and crew don’t get to race.
Well??, look at the bright side !! You had a perfect spot to be on Santa watch out 😁😁😁 be safe an god bless you all ❤️❤️
hope you guys had a great xmas ,all te very best from New Zealand
WOW 💥 that hit hard nice work you two looking good 👍👍👍👍👍✌️
Prayers that you and yours are doing well and staying safe through these recent snow and ice storms
Always sad to see the demise of an '80's classic. Looked in really nice condition before the ditch. This is why I don't want a classic car. Too scared it would get damaged.
I love watching your videos and your the best training Oscar he’s doing a great job so far handing the Rotator
Taters here time to go fission should go on a shirt. And slow down and move over please.
🙏🙏🙏God Bless to you and your family 🙏🙏
Where can I get those safety vests with the flashing lights built into them. I need one.
Thank you for another Great video. Cheers
