Welcome to the ultimate analysis of Ron Pratt for 2023. I’ve been watching him since 2019.
Just like you, I enjoy watching my fellow truck drivers and towing recovery trucks on YouTube.
I’ve written about many truck drivers here on the blog. The purpose of these profiles is to highlight those who are making a positive impact on the transport and logistics industry.
Let’s begin…
Ron Pratt Facts 2023
💡 Full Name and Age
Ron Pratt is 55 years old. He is married and is Christian.
🛣 Truck Type
Ron owns several trucks including the famous rotator (heavy towing crane), the smaller hook back and two rollbacks.
🤑 Net Worth
Truck drivers make more than many people assume…
As of 2023, Ron Pratt has a net worth of $1,700,000 USD.
This is based on the value of his home and famous Midwest Truck business (and associated vehicles).
That said, it’s a family business that will never be sold, and his son Ethan (who was previously at college) will take over the business in the near future.
🤩 Income Streams
Towing fees, YouTube ads and PayPal donations.
🌎 Location
Ron is based in Scott City, MO, United States.
👠Common Praise
He’s always super respectful with other truck drivers who have made errors along the way.
😲 Common Complaints
None that I could find. Ron hasn’t created any controversy and has had to deal with some difficult situations (powerlines being his arch-nemesis!)
🚀 The X-Factor
Ron has been in heavy vehicle recovery for a remarkable 40 years. He lives in one of just a few states that allows tow trucks to have the same rights as emergency vehicles to push through traffic and intersections with emergency beacons.
This is what Ron means when he is ‘running code’ on his channel:
Code 1: Proceed like normal to crash site.
Code 2: Proceed through blocked intersections with lights and sirens on, but proceed like normal on roads (with lights and sirens off)
Code 3: Proceed through blocked intersections, traffic jams and moving traffic with lights and sirens on, just like a real emergency.
📈 Trucking Trends
He has been consistent on YouTube for the past 5 years.
🕵ðŸ»â€â™‚ï¸ Private Life
Ron is married and has adult children. Sadly, his father passed away in early 2022.
🧑ðŸ»â€ðŸ’» My Verdict
One of the most addictive trucking YouTubers around town.
Now, let’s dig deeper into their success as a creator on YouTube…
