Josh, I hope you realize how blessed you to be able to work with your Dad. I got to work with mine for many years in constuction. Now i'm 74 and working with my sons and grandsons. There is nothing greater than family.
Hi Josh I’m Fred from Toronto Canada you and Pepe’s towing and family are the best you must be very busy out in California weather looks awesome we are stuck in the cold out here anyway be safe keep up the good work buddy
Hi Josh you are right it’s good to see pops out there teaching everyone new tricks old school the best to learn from hope you are well and safe take care
100% teamwork on display here...not only the two rotators...but with the forklifts to get the load centered again, this is how a job like should go....teamwork that ends in success.
That is an insane strapping job. Someone earned their Cheerios on that one. I was always taught, a trailer isn't properly loaded unless the load stays put if you launch the thing out the back end of a C-130. Yes, the guy that taught me used to launch things out of C-130s ... ;-)
No joke! I usually come across the worst strapping jobs lol, I even told the owners on scene they did the best strapping job I've ever seen considering the weight of the load.
22 years ago, an instructor, now my boss, at a safe moving class said, “always secure your load as if you are going to be involved in a wreck.” It made sense then and has every day I secure a load
Sweet sweet job on getting the trailer back on its wheels and awesome job u and ur dad did getting it up right be safe and always be careful doing what y'all do
Great video Josh!! Hope the legs heal fast!! Actually a nice demonstration of the "Brute Power" of Hulk and Big Flipper. No issue at all booming a 60,000 lb trailer out away from your trucks like 8 or 10 feet. Impressive!! Also, this years calendar is AWESOME!!!!
My legs are tons better now, thanks! And agree, this is exactly why on jobs like these I sent two trucks. Each truck having full control of one end allows us to easily man handle this and do things like extend out under pressure with ease.
Hey Pop & Josh along with Dominic !!! Great recovery as Didn't have to unload the trailer !! Have a good week out there & ""STAY SAFE "" !! Hope the ""POISON "" goes away as there is ointment that you can use to help dry it up !!
That's a Great strap job on that flatrack. I've never seen a flat rack like that one. In Cincinnati Flatrack are rarer than a High Cube 20 ft container. I ran relay for an outfit. We had a drop and swap in a parking lot. It was paved First night for using it. We dropped a 45000lb load. Driver pulled out. Load sunk to the kingpin. We didn't use that lot long after.
Josh great job as always! Love seeing you and your dad out there killing it! Happy New Years even though its a little late. I hope you, your family, and Pepe have a fantastic 2022!
Dawn dishwashing great for fighting poison oak, Ivy. When you get to a place you can wash your legs cuts the oil and stop it from set in the skin pores. Do not itch it just works it down into the skin. Pat the skin dry and do it again.
This flatrack was incredibly solid compared to the standard ones. For a direct vertical upright with one truck on each side, it could absolutely handle.
@@PepesTowingService yeah I don't think I've ever seen one like it. Where I live there are logging trucks all over and sometimes looking at those trailers I'm amazed they hold up. They sure don't look like they can take it, but they do
Hey Josh, I used to get into my share of poison Ivy, and poison oak, but found a quick remedy for it, now granted this may sound somewhat intense, but it Does Work, it does sting for a bit, : mix some Clorox with water, sponge it on the sores, it really helps to dry it out. I would always carry a small bottle of the mix when out in the woods.
They might want to reconsider asphalt on that parking lot if trailers are going to be there regularly. Or put down some pads. That was some pretty serious punch-through. Nice work getting that thing back on the road. Good to see pops out there getting it done. Whoever tied down that load should teach a master class. That thing was solid.
They need to sue the pants off their paving contractor. They seriously cut corners on the ground prep for landing leg to punch through BRAND NEW asphalt like that.
Oh boy, Josh. You got the nasty "oak limb" (leg). I used to get this so bad too. One thing I found out is over the counter antihistamine tablets works great for drying it out from the inside. Speeds up the drying process too. Good luck with the stuff, and of course another great video.
For the poison oak, I swear by Zanfel, which gives immediate relief. Others I know swear by Tecnu. No use suffering any longer than you have to with that stuff.
I worked on a demolition site in Seattle Washington where we had this happen. We left a loaded demolition trailer on site over the weekend. When we came back Monday morning it had flopped over due to weak pavement that had a soft spot underneath er.
Josh always love watching your videos. Not to sure about your new camera man. He’s a little all over the place! To close to the job, bad angle. Gotta get the drone up. C those beautiful trucks work!!
Back in 2020 in the town of Coolidge Arizona someone drop a Werner dry van in a vacant lot. it was there for about a week, Then 1 day I rolled by and the trailer was kneeling. Both pads of the landing gear were 3 feet down. The asphalt gave way. The funny part was that Wrner had no idea where this trailer was. This new cameraman looked a bit out of practice and what no drone footage? Good job Josh.
i wouldn't call it weak asphalt more that its not really good as having weight like that stationary. hence why you see parking lots were they store trailers like that are either empty or they have a concrete slab poured for landing gears are expected to be parked on.
Pepe's Calendar is Wow Quality!!! W ON D E R F U L I Love it. May: Yeah, they got Josh in a picture. October: I remember in that Video, as Josh took that picture, he said "This would make a great picture for the calendar." 🤜🤛 Thank you for putting a link to order Pepe's 2022 calendar. It's my #1 best one. 🤝🥇🌟💯
Hulk truck, hulk hat, poison oak ! I think maybe the humor does not translate so well, an oke is slang for a man where I live. So the explanation would be great truck, great hat, great guy.
gotta love the headache balls asphalt can be a problem seen a few sets of legs go thru myself usually a crane job here in New Zealand no rotators yet only a matter of time i think some Century gear here tho
Well done. Out of curiousty, what makes a job 1 truck v. 2 trucks (or more) if one truck can lift the casualty safely? I assume space has to be a factor at times as well. Thanks
@@DaSkiDude Because every job is different. Not every company has the luxury of being able to send two trucks to every job. Sometimes you only have one available. On a job like this, one truck would be suicide. The rotator would be in the middle, and an upright with this much weight would bend the towers because of the angle. One truck on each end allows for a true direct vertical lift.
Poison oak can get into boots, pants belts, shirts, gloves, ropes, slings, steel cables, Seats in cars and work trucks. Steering wheels , shift knobs. So be careful in cleaning the truck cab and equipment used in that recovery so you don't get recontaminated
So just looking because of this rollover was the ground? The weight was heavy in the ground gave away underneath one of the dolly leg and cause It to flip over
I know the corner "legs" on the load looked pretty well built, but I thought it still might be too much weight and leverage to upright the trailer from their ends. The professionals (Josh and his dad) correctly knew that they were working within the limits of the strength of the "legs."
That is exactly why we have too trucks. One truck in the middle uprighting both ends would absolutely "crush" and bend them. Luckily this was an all solid flat rack that could handle this.
That's much more like operator-error, rather than blaming that rollover on the weak asphalt. The parking lot is clearly marked (painted) for use a parking spaces for cars, light trucks, SUV's, etc. and NOT to park a 60,000 lb. trailer sideways across them... As a commercial flatbed and roll-off truck driver, I'm basically fed-up with the dropping-off and picking-up off various sized containers to/from areas that have severely-limited access, steep driveways and absurdly angled lots that were never designed or built for commercial traffic. This would also include lots that are covered in gravel and some just plain 'ol undeveloped *dirt*. Any***** - my point for this rant is mostly that either the owners of the lot should have provided or the driver should have suggested that it was not recommended to park a load of that weight on the trailer's landing gear... sideways across a non-commercial parking / staging area. If these types of businesses want to import / export heavy products, then they need to do so in areas that are designed and fabricated with *LEVEL CONCRETE* as well as the proper *DRAINAGE SYSTEM*, so that these areas don't have to be angled severely for water drainage.
Great job! But I'm wondering, how much money did the company save by paying down the asphalt instead of using concrete. My friends company rule is asphalt is O.K. for cars and vans every thing else is concrete. It may cost more in the beginning but will pay for itself a few years. Oh, and for the poison oak, enough Jack in the Black will make it feel better.
@Pepe's Towing Service I did a VERY, VERY little bit of research, for those who may care. The problem with using asphalt is that asphalt under the pressure caused by the weight causes the asphalt to "creep", like sand and allowed for the supports to sink. A way to slow or even eliminate the creeping is to enlarge the area that the legs contact, thus allowing the weight to spread the pressure over a larger area. There are probably others but I stoped my research at this point.
You need some larger pads for the outriggers, and a couple of steel plates for the landing gear,on our large concrete boom pumps we keep wood cribbing on board.
Oh it got you bad on your legs. You can never use too much of pink calamine lotion( not the worthless clear stuff), despite how it looks when you get that crap on you.
I have hiking pants in my truck. I've used them and shown them in a ton of off-road jobs. The poison oak job was too small for a rotator so I was in a different smaller truck and therefore did not have my pants with me.
The poison oak job was handled by me in a small 16ton wrecker due to the tiny road access. My rotator has all my hiking gear, I have hiking pants that I've used and shown off on lots of videos. I did not anticipate having to do any hiking when I did that job therefore did not have my pants. Not like I don't own a pair or use them frequently, just bad timing.
Pity the idiots on the forklifts don't have a clue. It is the load on top that needed re-positioning most. That is what was causing most of the problem, and would have been the easiest to correct.
prednisone keflex and Diphenhydram will help Keflex for the infection and swelling prednisone for the poison treatment diphenhydram for the itching every 6 hours

Thank you, it really is a blessing
It's always good to see Pops out there showing us how it's done!
Agree! The original man with the plan lol
Hi Josh I’m Fred from Toronto Canada you and Pepe’s towing and family are the best you must be very busy out in California weather looks awesome we are stuck in the cold out here anyway be safe keep up the good work buddy
another great video josh love seeing you and your dad working together
There will be plenty more of that to come!
Thanks Josh...!!!! You guys are Amazing...!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Josh you are right it’s good to see pops out there teaching everyone new tricks old school the best to learn from hope you are well and safe take care
I feel your pain Josh . . . As only someone else allergic to poison oak knows.
Thanks for the video.
Get well with your leg.
Great job as always Josh/Senior Acosta & Dom! As others have said it’s always nice to see you and your Dad working together! 💪🏻
We are the dream team haha
Those are some Gnarly looking legs!!!!! I know what poison oak feels like on the legs. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. And another great recovery .
Go for a swim in the ocean salt water will dry that right up
Thank you! The poison oak happened about 4 weeks ago so they are healed now
100% teamwork on display here...not only the two rotators...but with the forklifts to get the load centered again, this is how a job like should go....teamwork that ends in success.
Agree, all parties involved made this a super fast and easy job.
Love your Dad and love seeing him on jobs
Pepe crew doing it right as always. Respect to the crew!
That is an insane strapping job. Someone earned their Cheerios on that one.
I was always taught, a trailer isn't properly loaded unless the load stays put if you launch the thing out the back end of a C-130. Yes, the guy that taught me used to launch things out of C-130s ... ;-)

This is an ocean flatrack container, the port and steamship lines won't take anything less than perfect.
A load that was strapped well nice recovery yall.
Hulk and big flipper on the job always do a good job
Great videoJosh. Hope the leg heals up soon!
Good teamwork with your dad getting that trailer and its load back on wheels!
Mr Josh Cool recovery. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
Thank you sir, and likewise to you and your crew!
Josh another great father son job! Your poison oak looks painful! Take care, thanks for sharing! Kevin
Love the job you doing keep up the great work
Great Job guys and Josh hope you feel better and get rid of that poison Oak on your leg .
Sweet sweet job on getting the trailer back on its wheels and awesome job u and ur dad did getting it up right be safe and always be careful doing what y'all do
Had a few run ins with poison oak myself, I totally understand what you are going through. Get well soon and thanks for the video.
Yup, it's the worst. It's healed now though thankfully.
Poison oak = no fun at all!
Thanks for another interesting video.

Well done Josh!! the driver is really unlucky
Yea good forklift drivers are worth their weight in gold!
Really enjoy ur videos weather is always good enjoy the time with your dad soon u will be the old guy
Good man always be safe thanks 👍
The big guns out today ""hulk" Evening from uk guy guys stay safe stay well👍 love the tight ones shows skilll and perfection well executed lads
Josh great job as always! Love seeing you and your dad out there killing it! Happy New Years even though its a little late. I hope you, your family, and Pepe have a fantastic 2022!

I actually thought he did great on this video. Drone would have been awesome but we did it too fast
Now that’s how you do it. Good job pepes towing
Enjoyed it more with narration of the lift and why you were doing it that way

Arizona has high temperatures and heat obviously weakens asphalt.
How did Werner locate the trailer ?
i wouldn't call it weak asphalt more that its not really good as having weight like that stationary. hence why you see parking lots were they store trailers like that are either empty or they have a concrete slab poured for landing gears are expected to be parked on.
Wow your leg looks very sore mate. No Poison Oak in Australia as far as l know. Get well mate.

good to see you guys again , and Josh your leg looks really sore what does the plant do to your skin?
Poison oak is like poison ivy. Irritates the hell out of the skin and causes a rash, but it healed up nicely.
Hi Josh! hope your legs heal fast... What ever happened to the wrecker that got side-swiped? Ron...
We got it back and Super Dave is thrilled. Thanks for asking
your legs look rough. sorry for your pain
1 4 3 Josh !!!
A few generations and there will be no more skilled operators with all the experience you see here.

It is more safer and splits the weight so that the equipment doesn’t go through wear and tear as much
@@dcastro5400 Then why don't they use multiple truck on every job?

Should have loosend those straps a little. You know if they were tight enough to hold that load on there they are not going to let it move much.

Josh,
I got a little concerned watching your dad with no hard hat.
Those forklift guys made me nervous. I wanted them to slow down next to those beautiful trucks.
I sped that part up, so it looked much tons faster than it actually was
You should have told that guy that's on the fork lift to use his weight? 🤣🤣🤣 To push that load upright on that flat rack
Shoulda gone straight to ER with that poison oak!!
I did
Hilo guys are some jokers, Need to UNSTRAP the load to recenter it
Josh how you hurt your leg
Looked like about 2" thick asphalt.
I've seen better sidewalks than that parking lot.
Get better.
You need some larger pads for the outriggers, and a couple of steel plates for the landing gear,on our large concrete boom pumps we keep wood cribbing on board.
Why do I need larger pads for when every job I've ever done, mine have worked fine? On anything extreme I'd just use the wood in my truck
Oh it got you bad on your legs. You can never use too much of pink calamine lotion( not the worthless clear stuff), despite how it looks when you get that crap on you.
thats not weak asphalt, thats erosion.
Not theyre some pieces of kit
Ok guys need to know what to the red and black truck need updated have not seen it out on the job
Happen
It's been fixed
Josh - I just found what is being claimed as one of the 1st pictures of Hulk... can I email it to you if you're interested?
Considering I took all the first photos of Hulk, I'm dying to see haha. Email me at dispatch@pepestowLA.com
Shorts and off-road recoveries don't mix well.
I have hiking pants in my truck. I've used them and shown them in a ton of off-road jobs. The poison oak job was too small for a rotator so I was in a different smaller truck and therefore did not have my pants with me.
And noe you know the benefits of full length trousers, eh?
The poison oak job was handled by me in a small 16ton wrecker due to the tiny road access. My rotator has all my hiking gear, I have hiking pants that I've used and shown off on lots of videos. I did not anticipate having to do any hiking when I did that job therefore did not have my pants. Not like I don't own a pair or use them frequently, just bad timing.
Pity the idiots on the forklifts don't have a clue. It is the load on top that needed re-positioning most. That is what was causing most of the problem, and would have been the easiest to correct.
It took them like 5 minutes, not that big a deal
Need a 100 ton wrecker for the fleet
Not really
