- Semi takes out light pole - destroys rear axle. Welcome back to another full on recovery job, and while not a rollover, it sure was a handful. For starters, the trailer was exiting a non-truck route and cut the corner too sharp, getting caught up on the barrier and destroying the axle in the process. A power pole was knocked down, which was cleared by the time I arrived in Hulk, my 50ton rotator.
On scene already was my father in Dave's rotator, and Alex in Big Flipper, our 75ton rotator. Right away, we knew the container had to come off the chassis so a Landoll was brought in, then another Landoll to transport the damaged chassis. Not a hard job per se, just a lot of labor made easy by everyone pitching in and pulling their weight.
Once we got everything loaded and the roadway cleared, we took it to our yard first before being called back by the customer to deliver it locally. I had to cut the footage short there since they didn't allow us filming inside, but at least the video is long enough to show you everything up until then.

Your father looks like a man that truly loves his work
Like father like son!!
Dave's truck is SICK! No shade at all to Hulk and Big Flipper. These trucks are effin BEASTS!
For close to $1,000,000 they better be lol
Seeing the boss under that container was the most impressive part of this video. 👍
My words exactly.
Like a well-oiled machine. Your dad is like the coolest cat on the block.
That driver really didn't care. He full sent it into that. 🤦 Pops looked happy to be there with y'all.
Wow. The comradery here is fantastic. What a great place to work. No caste system here. As always, great work, great video and thanks.
What you do is only part of the equation for enjoying your job. Who you do it with is just as important. One of the enjoyable things to watch is how the Pepe's crew interacts. Too few people are lucky enough to enjoy both the what and who aspect of their jobs.
Absolutely!!😊
This one was definitely more than "2 inches" out 🤣🤣🤣
Pepe’s towing needs to have a chassis for this 1/100 case, that trailer is sticking out a lot
And the strength of the container must be very good to hold that weight too.
All my favourite Pepe’s people were working on this job. Great work guys! 😊 🇨🇦
Holly crap, I can’t believe the overhang of the container, that’s crazy.
I’ve watched some others try to do what fellows do, they are no where near as smooth and good as you guys.
Pepe's does so much container work, you would think they would have container trailers they could just roll up to the scene and drop the container right on and drive away. Assuming of course the container isn't damaged at the locking points.
And the Landolls could have container attachment brackets in the deck.
Really drives home the roll that Cali plays in our economy! As always what a team effort. The monthly checks that your dad must write to maintain you family business has me eating Tums like candy! Impressive operation!
Nice drone work. Those trucks looks so good, this is better than watching a movie.
The whole frame ripped apart. Well done.
I guess the towing business has been berry berry good to you folks. Bentley?? Ok, now I’m impressed …😁😵💫👍
Hey Josh, UK here, that Aston is a top end supercar! It knocks spots off the Italian cars. Congratulations.
Freaking awesome seeing all four of you working together. Joe has been hiding out!
Given the number of errant containers you guys deal with I'm a little surprised you don't have your own container chassis. Are the 53' ones sufficiently rare that the Landoll covers all your bases? Because that was a lot of overhang and I imagine you wouldn't want to go too far like that.
I'll also mention that containers are meant to be supported at the lift and tie down points. Letting that much hang off the rear of the deck will definitely stress a fully loaded container. IMO, it would have been better to have loaded it further forward, even if you had to crib under the rear tie down point. But, I'd ask someone who knows containers better than I do an opinion.
Might be time for you guys to invest in a chassis for occasion’s like this. That’s a lot of overhang.
LOVE it when the Boss shows up!! The team chatter was the best part of the video!! Be safe out there!!
Nothing but admiration for Alex, Josh and Pop!
Josh your dad kicks ass as a worker.
Words you dont want to hear a tow truck driver say. Go:
"This tow might be $10k" 😂
That container was EXTRA long. Geez, you guys can handle anything. Great work Pepe's crew!
Looks like they need to put in some beefier guardrails in that intersection. Awesome job guys, as usual.
Yo we miss Joe a lot and liken Alex as well always you especially 😊
I think one of the things I love the most about this channel is that you guys can actually admire your work and shredder, admire your work and that makes it special means you are well taught you know what you’re doing I mean it’s excellent to hear all this positiveinteraction with each other and what you’ve done and how you do your work so proud of you guys. I live in Canada and I’m watching you every day 71 year old woman and I’m still kicking girl.
swing wide your pulling a freaking trailer 😂
Watching you and your dad makes me miss my dad we worked together in his wrecker business in the late 70s enjoy these times with him
Great teamwork!!! Like a well oiled machine!!
You guys have really nice equipment. Must be a treat to drive.
Hey hey there's my papi chulo JOE ❤️ it's a bout time you have papi chulo JOE ❤️ I'm in Awwwwew
Watching Josh and Alex move both of their booms in perfect synchronicity was a thing of beauty!
Fantastic people with great equipment proves that teamwork makes the dream work. And your dad rolling up like a boss!
Outstanding job, as usual.
I love your DaD no time wasting whit him and practical 😊
Nice car, bro.. hard work pays off. 🔥
Oh and, Josh you deserve that Aston Martin😁
Those axels on that trailer looked pretty new too haha😂

Wow you're dad can really drive a truck Josh
your cameras are great your placement is great. we can see the action from every direction!
Wow! Fantastic job you guys did with that. I love some of the camera angles, especially the drone footage! This fantastic😀😀
You guys do alot of containers. Wow. There seems to be many of those port drivers that cant drive for sure. Great job again guys.
Everything turned out amazing on the recording 👍💪💪💯
Great video Josh 🎉🎉
Good to see your dad.
almost at the 100K mark Josh. Awesome work as always to the Pepe's crew
Massively expensive recovery! Loved the video❣️👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Did y’all tell the driver that there was a light pole there? Better off, was he ever shown how to use wing mirrors? No.. wait, wait for it…. Did he forget he was driving a Semi - truck?🤣🤣 I know, I really am a wind up, always enjoy watching your vids @ 2am. 👍
Dads are the best for sure!
Awesome teamwork guys.
With that landall by or make a stand for the back end for two reasons one you have a step deck so you guys can put those 53 feet boxes you can move them on to the deck and on the stand to be able to have less overhang, two can use it for other long things . I'm not sure if it would be too tall if you do what I suggested. All of you guys keep up the great job 😊👍
Another awesome performance 🤓🙋♂️👍
Good work, back in the day I used to take that State St. Exit as a shortcut to jump on the 5 fwy North. They eventually posted it NO TRUCKS.
Buenas tardes, un gran video, un trabajo excelente, que buen equipo formais, da gusto veros de buen royo, ❤🖐️💪👍👏🇪🇦.JESUS.
Another great video Joshua ❤
These drivers today are to much in a rush ,then to makes Sharp turn in a tight corner, ridiculous, I drove 20 years and have 20 safety awards.
So lucky to work with good people.
Outstanding video! Very clear.
The turn wasn't the problem...it was the sudden stop. 😂
Landscape mode dude!
Pulleeeze!
I don't have instagram, but you didn't finish telling what the vet said. Some type of spinal cord injury? He needs an airlift to the couch but he sure tries! Yeah those back legs are way supposed to kick more! $2 grand? You must have more info. Does he get kitty PT? They really so make our lives better.
Best of luck to you and Ghost!
SWEET RIDE ASTON MARTIN VANQUISH !!!!!
You do have some awesome equipment.
As always job well done 👍✅

Nice recovery! Talk about being in Pepe's backyard. You probably could have flown the drone to the tard for a recharge.
Nice job!
Old dogs rule. Young pups dreull. Good job pops 👏
Hey big boss man please don't shred my PAPI CHULO JOE ❤️ he's to cute to go through that 😂😂❤
All the big guns were out on this one. Nice work. Yeah, BNSF is pretty protective of their yards. No funny business allowed.
You should do a video of all the trucks and toys you have.
Looks like another 'All Nighter" for the Pepe's crew........ Way of life in towing....
you going to let your father drive that new Aston Martin nice car have fun with it be safe i seen a youtube short on the car title the bosses new car a week or so back
I don't understand how these trucking companies stay in business with cost of insurance
The really big shippers self-insure
@@jsh6952That makes it worse if they have a lot of incidents.
Go look at the prices of ANYTHING
@@bobh6728 If you're big enough that this sort of thing is a weekly occurrence rather than a once every X years disaster it becomes cheaper to eat the losses directly by self insuring instead of paying the insurance company enough to cover all the accidents and a profit margin. At most you might have an umbrella policy that kicks in at a really high level for if instead of a truck just rolling over the wreck takes out a bus full of people or destroys a large building and the cost of the truck and cargo become a rounding error in the liability.
Another great INE Josh Alex'JoJo'towing it to Mission,CA Storage Yard
Awesome video
Nice Peterbilt
I don’t care what nobody says that profession is like no other (3) different profession in one 1)truck driver
2)crane operator
3)mechanic
from what I can see…
Hi I sure have been enjoying your Chanel. And all the things gs you folks are required to do. I had a thought.......silly me. I'm an old woman. But it occurred to me that sometimes when your in a tight spot with metal. Could you use liquid nitrogen to freeze the metal, and then breaking apart?
Just a thought from a silly old woman. You guys are great at what you do.
Back at it again with a prestine video!
Great job men..
You guys ever think about adding a couple of chassis to your fleet? For times like this.
Stand to attention!! Dad's in charge! 😂👍
Nice ride
Beautiful Peterbilt
Nice car too. lol. Absolutely beautiful brother. Good for you. Toys are important. 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
"Thank you Joshua". Now that's a family!
Oh what a beautiful car, love to see some British excellence across the pond 😅
Let’s start with the fact that his KPRA wasn’t even right. There’s a reason why it’s 40-feet in California.
dangggg not even close to making that corner🤣🤣
Growing in subscribers everyday…
Almost there…
