- Ford F-350 Crashes 450' Down Freeway Hillside! Is Alex a machine or what? Not one, but two companies turned this job down and I can't say I blame them too much. These car fishing jobs get passed up quite often when it's super hot, on top of a lot of companies in the area not having the equipment to retrieve vehicles several hundreds of feet. In the old days (aka when I started lol) you would need wire rope extensions which are HEAVY along with chain.
Now, we have synthetic extensions from Bailey's Tow Accessories. You'll see how effortlessly Alex is able to use this and rig even in blistering heat. Once at the vehicle, BA Vehicle straps are attached and up she comes! Alex in Big Flipper, our 75ton rotator, turned a "difficult" job that others passed up into an easy one, all 100% solo.
It helps that this happened to be next to a service road which made hiking all 450' up and down pretty easy compared to the mountainsides we are used to. What did you guys think of Alex's solo car fishing job? And if you're a fan and would like more, become a member! I post all my deleted videos here and other perks: / @pepestowingservice

Alex is the man! He's got that voice of an announcer and has great control speaking descriptions as he adventures out on these job sites. Unreal recovery. Three thumbs Alex. 👍 👍 👍 👌!
Here, here!
Ok from pilipino
Alex Is an Animal, Very professional, and such a dedicated hard worker, Hats Off To You Alex
+1 on that, excellent job Alex !!! 😎😎😎
Alex needs a raise damn good at what he does !!!!!!
Yeah I don't even water my roses when it's 94F - Alex is one tough dude
Yeah, but it’s a ‘dry’ heat 😂😅.
@@bethallen7384only people who dont spend much time outside in those environments say that. I'll take a Panama jungle heat over death valley heat any day of the week.
You do get used to 120°F weather daily.
@@user-fk2mp5xh4sNo you don't! Dry heat sure is A LOT BETTER than humid heat! It feels like it's at least 15° hotter when it's 90% humidity!
@@wesman7837 I wear leather daily, pretty sure I get accustomed to it as a daily commuter.
My Uncle & Dad owned a Towing company in Spokane Washington for 40 yrs. It's tough work. Alex is one tough tow truck operator 💪
It took me a few seconds to realize that Josh was 2Xing the video. I'm like "Dude, you're hyperventilating!"
esp when you watch the video at 2x already :P
The fan who beep-beep-beep'd Alex at 16:48 must be gassed to see the video now
Drone is really an asset. You do a great job Alex. Be safe. God Bless.
What kind of Drone is it?
@@66BellaArt I think he has a magic 3 pro.
That’s a workout 😅 great job Alex
Great job Alex. Nice cop too.
Alex, looks like the vultures picked over the bones before the law got there! Great video, Thanks!
I bet you they got the diesel out of it too!
I do wonder how long it had been down there, I also could see that the people who owned it went in and recovered out all their tools since usually on a recovered wreck it immediately goes to the insurance salvage yard as-is.
Lots of stuff on the ground and probably all over that mountainside. Not just from that truck but from other cars over the years. Especially because I doubt anyone is surviving that fall to come back for their stuff.
This is better than TV! Dude, you're wearing BLACK in the hot sun!?! 😵💫
Another professional job by Pepe's Towing. Alex did some real good drone work. Keep hydrated in the heat.
What a workout just watching ! Excellent job Alex. In those valleys and mountains you guys never mention snakes and such especially in Southern California.
When it's that hot, the snakes are hiding. They like it early in the morning or at dusk.
Alex is a work horse when he gets these fishing trips. Great job Alex working by yourself and getting it up the hill.
Great job again Alex, that's what a true professional looks like folks.
It is good to use fabric slings; to not damage the paintwork.
ALEX, you are, indeed, the man !!
The paintwork is the least of that trucks worries.
The officer was a funny guy saying "can you get it out"
Been following Pepe's for a while. Never ceases to amaze. Incredible recovery. Great safety protocols.
That was awesome as per usual with Alex. Thank you Sir 😊
Alex is the reason I keep watching. And yes he is the man.
Another great job by Alex under challenging conditions. The drone sequences always give an excellent perspective of the scene.
That was really interesting! I've never watched a recovery like that. The drone is really a huge help. The picture was so clear. Glad to hear the driver of the recovered truck only had minor injuries. Haard to believe by the looks of the truck.
I dont know what the american tow man association is waiting for to give alex and pepe's towing some kind of recognition for the jobs they do.alex is quickly becoming one of top tow truck operator's in the country..in my humble opinion he is right there with wrecker Rick(murphy's diesel)and ron pratt. Awesome job alex keep it up✌️👍
Thank you sir , I’m just trying to became as proficient as Josh, dave , and Joe( owner) they have mentored me the whole way . Im very grateful 👊🏽
Nice recovery Alex, ..Its easy to get caught up in the job , so you have to remind yourself to drink lots of water, especially when its that hot, Cheers !
Next time hire a sky-crane to lift the damn thing out LOL.
Must be nice rotator With all the attachment Straps By the looks of it, basically, everything you could ever need.
Your dad is obviously a very smart business man
UP UP AND AWAY,
THE ROTATOR WAY 😂❤
Great rescue and what a nice cop, respect to him.
This Gentleman busted His AZZ for Everything he had done.
Thank You Sir.
Flying vehicles....Quick, call in Alex. Another fun job for Big Flipper & Alex
A truck of the road Peace out
It is so good to see how Pepe's employees conduct themselves at work. Calm but very serious about working safe whilst getting the job done. They are the best company representatives. Take care.
Days like this make big flippers refrigerator pricless!!❤
How old are you? Ten?
@Failure_Is_An_Option the fuq are you talking about? All his trucks have refrigerators. You obviously are a troll and don't watch his videos?
You got your cardio in defiantly. Outstand job!
Alex, you always get these jobs no legs for you for a few days. You got your workout today and man you got a clean truck and put that thing away nice every time I watch these other shows they just throw their stuff right in and it’s a mess keep it clean
Great recovery by Alex, as usual. Gotta say that Flipper's boom, from the bottom of that nasty little road, looks like some giant robot standing up there.
Great job Alex! See you didn't need anyone else's help. You got er done!😊 Love your vids.
You're a BEAST literally running circles around the rest of us regular people.
I was wondering who picked the truck clean. Hope it was the company. Excellent work Alex. Josh, give that man kudos for me.
Someone who knew the wreck was there, and did not have keys to the cabinets, brought a crew during the night (lots of work lugging all the tools and parts up the grade.) If it was the business owner, they forgot the keys, keys were at the hospital with driver, brought keys for the wrong truck, or wanted it to look like a burglary. Or some pros were tipped off - they listen to emergency scanner, have a brother-in-law in EMS, etc.
@@john_nip_nop More than likely "the usual suspects" that just got out of jail two days ago, everyone know how California is run.
I appreciate you sharing the full rig up and down with stowing the equipment properly away. Kudos!
Hats off to you. Tough recovery.
Yes down hill for sure
Buenas tardes, Alex, un bonito video, y un gran trabajo, te lo has currado, grande, Alex, saludos.❤👏👍💪🖐️🇪🇦. Jesús.
These other companies that turn down the recoveries because of an alledged shortage of cable don't do these jobs because they don't have you.
11:00 My leg were burning just watching Alex hike up that steep slope. Great job on the recovery. Hope you drank lots of water after this one.
Great job Alex 💪🏼💪🏼
That was real work. You earn every penny you earn. Good work
Alex. You are the man. 👍
You are nuts handling that job all by yourself. Whew!
An older work truck-hope they got good insurance and you get paid. Alex done a great job!
Alex stay safe out there in that heat. Gatorade is a must.
I kept hoping you were drinking water often - desert heat with low humidity, hiking (and sometimes running) up and down a steep grade. A job for the young, fit, and dedicated.
Alex another hard job done well! You always get it done with lots of hard work! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Another great video. Alex is so focused and meticulous. Always enjoy his recoveries. 450 feet up in the heat is horrible. Great job Alex.
Another great video thank you be safe I know from experience it's a tough job prayers go out to you love watching each video ty
This was really awesome the way you did it
Great job again Pepe towing truly professional service kudos I am a fan magnificent skills another good video
Great job Alex, you earned that one.
Hello Alex , great video Joshua
Pepe's one of the best companys out there!
What a workout
Would have been a wild ride down that cliff but those wreaking tow rigs are a game changer for the industry 👌🙏🍀💪keep on being safe out there
Another content masterpiece 👏🏻💯💪🏻🇺🇲
The heat
The physical workout
The knowledge in your head.
I dunno what you get paid (or what Pepe's charges) but it aint enough!
BTW- do NOT watch this at 1.5 speed! Watching you up and down that hill at anything other than 1X gives me chest pains! HAHAHA
Bruh, I watched that part at 3/4 speed and still had to pause it a couple times to take a breather and break before I had a coronary. Lmao.
Edit: typo
A recovery like this with a similar rig will cost you $800 - $1,200 an hour in Billings, MT. This is so-CAL . . . Soooooooo . . . NOT CHEAP
Now that was funny. !
It's California, no budget.
Impressive, so impressive. Alex is da man!!!
Way to go Alex - that was fascinating! Back in the day in the Army I’d help our HEMTT Wrecker guy - we even got helicopters and planes that went off or hard landings in the mountains.
Great solo work, I thought the truck might dig into the hillside but you kept it moving! Nice drone work too - technology helps wow!
Careful out there and stay cool too. I see your Rawlings ball bucket so Go Dodgers! ⚾️🧢
It's not just a job, it's an adventure! Your skills are most impressive my friend.
You are a hard working man
so somebody stole tools and equipment from the boxes on the truck?
btw that cop seems really friendly :)
Good one, always makes my Saturdays when I get to see a new video.✌
Left rear tire has belts showing all around.
This guys entire livelihood went over that guard rail. Some risks are just not worth taking.
Not only will he be lucky to get any insurance coverage (you are expected to keep you car street legal), someone stole all his tools, and he will have a huge hospital bill when he get out.
Bald tires, blowout. Shocking. Not likely to have insurance, maybe minimum liability only. That might pay for the gaurdrail, less deductible.
Maybe it could have been done with a little less walking up and down, but it's just again a great recovery.
Hi from the Netherlands
So blessed to be able to do this important work and to have such good help right on time!
I almost had a heart attack watching you go back up the first time🤔😃😉
Truly hard work. Thanks for another great video.
Nice job, Alex.
You and Big Flipper work well together.
Awesome video. Alex you are an animal going up and down that incline on top of carrying what you need to do your job. Nice work!
Alex is one physically fit dude! Love watching these videos very interesting. The engineering that has to go into building one of these trucks and the expertise that Alex has in operating them Is spectacular.
Great Job Alex UDAMAN ! Your in great shape too ! You Executed with Precision ,you are a great Asset and valuable to the company, I salute you on that one !!
“Can you get it?” Hold my beer !!!!!
Pepe's Autobody Shop will have that truck repaired and back on the highways in 10 days' time. 😂
They saw the accident and just said Pepe and walked away .. 🤣😂🤣
🎵Welcome back, my friends, to the tow that never ends
I'm so glad I could extend,
It's hot as hell, hot as hell...🎶
This is recovery art at its finest!
Hope you're being paid well and have a good health plan. That's crazy man. Be safe.
Getting some serious cardio stresses in that heat.
Well that was one hell of a workout Alex good job you did all those days of training in the gym with Josh and Joe. Another great job keep the videos coming and stay safe.
Absolutely Amazing Recovery Alex! Thank you for posting 😀
peaceful down there
the drone helps a lot, just seeing what the pull is doing as it coming up the hill is worth the expense and time too use it ,you earn your pay ,,, most normal people cant go up and down let alone dragging lines and hard ware on slopes like that in 95 f heat ,
Yikes! My hat is off to you for this recovery on challenging terrain in HOT weather. That's hard work, done amazingly well. By the way, excellent use of the drone. 👍
Alex gone Fishing again well done good recovery
The really when his phones starts ringing. Had me dieing. Man I feel like that daily. Phones always ringing when you’re in the middle of something 😂
Nicely done with the hard work, not mentioned the heat.. good areal view helping you to see from up there...
Good Job Man! No cardio for you tonight!! LOL
Great to see the safety routine. Chocking a wheel before slacking, just in case (Big pain for it roll back downhill.) At almost-the-end of a long, hot, strenuous workout it would be easy to rush and forget a step. Doing the narration might help reinforce safety routines. Really enjoy the explanations of why - how the extensions are used, lifting capacity in different configurations, etc. Lots of technical info at instant recall - training and experience. Good stuff.
Alex you are thee master
Alex
I see you cruisin nearly every time I'm in Ontario/ Rancho .
As a trucker
I hope we never meet.....hahaha
That was a workout bro
Good job dude
Stay safe bro 😎
Love the videos. Hi from Ms
Alex , don't ya wish all the hill jobs had access roads. !
Hi and Gday from sunny Queensland Australia , top vid this one , thank you , cheers
Great Job Alex... and he did this alone... not smart .. but very professional very hard working... Safety First Always...
Actually it was nothing but smart. He handled it like a man.. Safety first is a BS saying that no hard working person would say.
@@dom6512 Sorry Dom... But you are a fool to think that... What would have happened if he fell down there? or was bitten by a snake or attacked by a cougars that have been reported in that area... Yes he did handle it like a man.... and SMART men or women dont put their lives at risk just to show how MACHO they are... also it was VERY hot that day and you could he was on the verge of Heat Stroke
Great job and video
