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 SLOW DOWN & MOVE OVER!!!

As a D O T Official for more than 23 years, l have worked many accidents on a Major highway. The possibility of a secondary accident is very High. Traffic can and will back up very quickly, with much research it was determined that at Rush hour conditions traffic will back up at a rate of 1.5 to 2 miles every 3 minutes of time a lane is shut down on a 2 lane highway. I wish more States would adopt this policy. Hats off to Ron Pratt and His to ALL that respond to these incidents.

[davemccracken]

As a motorist who has been in many similar backups, I for one appreciate the efforts you and law enforcement make to clear it as quickly as possible.

[JV-pukx]

Reminder: don't just blindly pull over when you hear a siren! Find out where it is coming from, first.

[AWRay]

Ron, as I understand what you have explained in the past, when you are asked to expedite, you expedite. No questions asked... as I can tell by the video, even the fastest expedites won't always clear the scene quickly enough. Stay safe AND hydrated. Also, that was a nice Dukes of Hazard entrance.

[Silver_Turtle]

To all who say a tow truck with reds, blues, and a siren is illegal:
1. As Ron as shared MANY times, in the state of Missouri, tow operators are considered emergency responders. However, they can only run code 3 if requested by proper authority [i.e. police].
2. When he held back for the ambulance? As it was operated by a municipality, he had to yield to it; of course, Ron would yield to it anyway.
3. Take time to listen; Ron explained it very clearly and distinctly on this video.
I do not live in Missouri, but have a basic understanding of the procedures.

WOW that SEMI even left you space right what a professional thank you again for everything for everyone involved we need this positivity way more often on public roads. If I could I would push for this to become a national law change so all and in all states these law's to help and rescue should be nation wide so we actually can HELP the once which are in dire need. What a great job !!!!

[rothacus]

As a truck driver that was nearly involved with a secondary accident in Arkansas that turned out was #2 of 4 secondary accidents I think all states should do this. Thank for all you do to keep traffic moving

[kennethelliott]

The emergency response itself was well executed, however, something to keep in mind for future calls, when the ambulance is still on the scene, please don't pull up behind it and blow your air horn. The medic just might be performing an ALS procedure (starting an I.V., intubating, etc.) these procedures are difficult enough without being startled just as you were about to hit that elusive vein or pass a tube through the vocal cords. Not scolding, just something to keep in mind from a 32 year career paramedic.

[ericrindahl]

I think the relationship you have built with the LEA in your area have also allowed you to run code more trusted that the slimy tow operators. There are companies and drivers around me that would abuse the ability to run code if it were even possible in our state. You don't when you shouldn't and you carefully do when you can.

[jeremy]

Never once did I ever consider for a second that not only one day I would find a youtube channel of a tow truck driver with a gopro, but also that I would enjoy watching it. We certainly do live in a society.

[fearlessfly]

Used to be with the volunteer fire department in my a tanker truck though traffic wasnt always job Ron

[Gorov]

I gotta say.. as a former fellow recovery truckdriver and as an active parttime firefighter, you do a heck of a good job!! Love you code 3 clips!!

[chuckmoore]

From arrival on scene to loaded and leaving, less than 8 minutes! Great work, Ron. Thanks for another interesting start to my day.

Stay safe and healthy.

[mydobie]

I have never seen a towing company use sirens. I think every state should do this

[robsmith]

The UK could really learn a lesson about the need for rapidly clearing a scene of a "minor" bump to reduce the potential for secondary accidents.

[dzymslizzy]

Interesting. Here in CA, red/blue lights and sirens are restricted for use ONLY by police, fire, and ambulance vehicles as designated emergency vehicles. Tow trucks, construction vehicles, utility repair trucks, etc. may ONLY have amber lights and NO sirens.

[timothybarham]

The 2 part videos *Tails Spin Turmoil* perfectly shows why getting out of there quickly is good. Three was a secondary crash on the other side of the freeway. While Ron and crew were working.

[apexlrp]

If there was a PhD in professional vehicle recovery, Mr. Pratt would have it. Great job as always.

[alanstant]

The main thing is you did your job Ron. That is what is important and you did it in a safe way too. God Bless you in all that you and the guys do.

[ryancochrane]

I absolutely love this. 25 years on this earth and never knew (non law enforcement) tow trucks could run sirens. Awesome!
