Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!!! Today, EVERYONE is sliding around in the snow and ice. We get hit with our first significant winter storm in a while. Ethan and Oscar take both our Western Stars, the 9055XL and the V70 to attempt to recover a loaded plow truck that slid through an intersection and took a nosedive into a creek. However, they have a little bit of trouble getting to the crash site. First, both Western Stars get stuck and slide into a ditch on an icy hill. Then I’m called to come help them. I take our Peterbilt rollback, our Takeuchi skidsteer, some salt, and some extra tire chains, but before I get there, they get themselves out of trouble ONLY to be blocked by other vehicles who had slid off the next hill. I start sliding trying to get to them. This was just a mess all the way around and they haven’t even gotten to the crash site yet!!!! You catch a glimpse of the job we are called to do, which will be next week’s video. After all the trouble we had just getting there, I thought this might make for an enjoyable video as well. We all know how accident prone I am with my “Pratt-falls”, anyway. 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!!!

AWE MAN!!! Like when I was a kid…the show just starts getting really good and then…TO BE CONTINUED!!! You're teasing us Ron!
Great team 👍on a bad day😵💫
Thats a slick move while waiting for the your dad eathan!!!
Don't look like to bad of a recovery.
good job Ethan
Did you chain up.
Starlink time?
Just wanted u all 2know. U rin my prayer's much love from California. GREAT TEAM❤😊
Good solid crew. Stay safe. The relief in Ethans voice, hes learned a lot from you. Glad he freed himself
The gloves on the defroster works wonders.
Oh shit! Wow damn poor plow truck 😮
Ron it's Monday where's part 2 of this we're all waiting
Everyone in this video is on summer tires in snow…
Wow!
Yup definitly all hands are needed
You know why, it's because there is no weight on your steer tires cause of the light weight automatic transmission.
Oh that's a sand truck, not a western star.
7:50 Remember the old VW commercials about how the snowplow drivers got to work? 😁
I wish MoDot in Kansas City would start using cinders! Icemelt was WORTHLESS in this storm. We had over a half inch of ice and then 12" of snow.
I'm very impressed with Ethan, left to his own devices, he does a great job, you should be proud Ron.
Also Ron, Huge Kudos to you and your calm supportive demeanor. Had I called my father and told him I was about to roll a $700k truck, he would have gone insane. Ron, you kept your cool, and offered to support Ethan in whatever way he needed. What a great dad and boss! GOOD FOR YOU!
I love the Ethan pov, keep in mind nothing beats good ol’ Ron, keep up the great work
God bless you tow operators.
❤
thank you for video as wish lot safety to your family
I despise it when it stops cold turkey like that!!!!
When Ethan said this hurts my soul i felt that in my soul. Im glad everyone was safe and he didnt roll it. Hopefully the tuck isnt damaged to bad.
From a salt truck and snowplough driver in the UK, kudos to you in dealing with the situation. I always encourage people here not to wish for heavy snow!
Come on ron where is PART TWO!!
Good job guys! This is an interesting video! I’m watching from Buna Texas USA January 22, 2025 central standard time
Hi dad I really need a helicopter
I hope that driver was ok
All ways a great job guys
Ethan that was some good driving on that ditch good job.
Hey Ron a old farmer trick granular calcium better known as barn brite
Here in St.Louis,Mo. the weather people were calling it “ Snowmageddon Weather Event “. 👍🙏🌻
Woo boy i cant imagine being in that first truck as it was going over, nightmare rollercoaster. Even just when my suv wont stop due to ice even at like 3 mph you feel pretty helpless. Stay safe
Ethan is a level headed young man Ron. He has learnt a lot from yourself and Mom Pratt. Stay safe everyone.
