Excellent video production. The insert explaining the process answered my question about dragging. Maybe someday in the future you can explain the technology in your office - this is magic to many of us.
The fact that boss man Joe consults with Alex about the plan, tells him he did an excellent job to tie those axles, shows the professionalism of this company from the top down. Great job even pushing the limits yet staying safe. Well done PePe's crew
I bet Caltrans and CHP are always happy to see a Pepe's unit pull up. They are guaranteed the job will be done skillfully, quickly and with a sense of urgency.
I'm an ex firefighter over the pond in Wales UK. Came across your channel a few weeks ago and I'm binge watching the back catalogue. I've also got a mechanical background so I really appreciate those rotators. Awesome bits of kit. Great videos guys, really enjoy them. If ever I get to LA gonna look you guys up for sure. thanks very much
Your dad seems like the type of owner/bosses that I love working for - demands good work, keeps it lighthearted, shares his knowledge, gives kudos, and isn’t afraid to pick up a broom and help.
I found this channel & enjoy watching all the rescues lol I've drove those streets highways and see my fears in reality rollovers and crashes I'm blessed I've never been in those incidents..I've always been the designated driver.. keep up the good work. .
I never cease to be amazed watching these videos. Been driving a long time but had no idea what was involved to deal with these accidents. My hat is off to all of the guys who do this difficult and dangerous work
Buenas noches, que gran trabajo en equipo, todo bien calculado, un trabajo de ingenieros, das gusto veros , y de buen royo , como siempre, enhorabuena, 👏💪👍🖐️🇪🇦🇪🇦❤
A little more on opening lanes: The location of this video carries almost 10,000 vehicles per hour. For those not experienced in L.A. traffic, this is hard to grasp. Friends of mine elsewhere are scared to drive on highways that have never been as busy as L.A.’s lightest times.
Good point. It's very hard for people in rural areas or small cities to comprehend. I'm so used to it but besides being one of the largest cities in the entire country our traffic volume is top 3 on any list you'll find
appreciate the comments about the technical and safety stuff. what many forget is with lane closure the risk of secondary accidents also increases greatly.
Unbelievable the outfit that loaded that box was certainly asleep at the switch! You're recovery Pepe TEAM is REALLY as @politcaloptics stated Excellent as shown in your Video production!!
Its really great to see your dad again, and he's representing Pepe's right in high vis! I love how he gave his approval for Alex's axle chaining work, I celebrated with a WOOT WOOT! HAHA Ohhhh Alyx, your so freaking funny. Joe gets his truck so close to the other truck, he's about to kiss his outrigger into the casualties wheels. Alyx says thank you my love, as Joe BEEP BEEP backs the truck up, Alyx is here to stay baby LMAO! Hey, look at that container, pop goes the weazle HAHA! Hey my man, you should keep all the behind the scenes jokes in your video's, I freaking love them, making me laugh so hard over here, love it! Another great job here too!
My previous job, we designed and have things built in China and shipped to us here in the states by ship. The equipment was always loaded into 20 foot shipping containers and the weight was supposed to stay within 30K. The container would be packed from end to end and about three foot tall with crates packed solid with metal goods. One good size machine tool can fill a 20 foot container and weigh upwards toward 40K. You never know what gets packed into one until a episode like this comes up. Thanks for sharing, Ken
A real spin out when Alex was up on the container moving left/right 😂 Great job team, can't believe how hard they pack those 20 footers, then fudge the manifests.
No entienden estos chamacos! El jefe ya se molesto. Lol always fun working with pops even tho he might be wrong sometimes he still wants it his way. Saludos compas!
Sweet video as always. You crushed the job and the editing per usual. I liked seeing the kinda funny moments from you and alex. Stay safe and thanks for posting !
It's cool to see how well you guys work together, and how each knows to keep the job going, even if it's not their truck/equipment. Also: I got a good chuckle out of Alex asking, "What color?" instead of what flavor, and the boss says, "Blue"!
I like the way everything is neatly put away after each job, especially up top around the rotator where nothing will bind up. You have a great crew Sr. God bless you all. 🙏
Are used to watch a tow truck show on Netflix. It was based out of Toronto and it was heavy. Tow trucks like you have and it’s just amazing the kind of work you guys do congratulations and thanks for keeping our highway safe. Keep up the good work I myself wanted to be a truck driver when I grew up but unfortunately, I have a mild case of epilepsy so I did not even take a chance to get my drivers license. I wanted to have my own trucking go everywhere I can know I’m just amazed at the kind of work you guys do. Thanks again.
Pops had his own idea of how to get the job done 😳🤷🏻♂️😉 he has his reasons plus the new got him started I hate this new phone lol. We love y’all thanks for sharing your story of PEPE’S towing !
It is absolutely incredible how sarong a rotator is I have watched these type of videos for years and understand a ;ot onthow this works . Great Job Pepe's
Happy new year to you all, just like to say hulk is definitely taking the strain on that one I have never seen one of your recovery’s when hulk is leaning so much that the outrigger is lifting on the opposite side😮
In my book tow trucks operator are part of the first responders family. Most people don’t see the bad side of being a first responders. Make jokes (in not serious situation) is okay, It’s a way first responders/tow operators cope with the horrible things they might see while doing the job.
You guys always crack me up. I hope my comments won’t offend you Josh but remember Dad is still the boss even when it’s hard to agree with his orders. Yes the new generation “you and Alex” may see an easier way just have patience with your dad because he’s just trying to do what he thinks is best and the weight does end up on his shoulders. One day you will be the Dad and your kids will roll their eyes at things you say and do. But in the end you folks are family and you can see the love. Hey if he does like the new iPhone then give him what he likes or give him time. lol. I am 65 and I just got a new iPhone 15 pro max as well and it is a learning curve for us old dinosaurs. Thank you again for the videos. I do enjoy watching.
@@JoseAcosta-hr9js hey there Mr Acosta. I enjoy watching you work at the scene. Your passion is amazing and addictive but never forget that our kids are amazing and smarter than we old dinosaurs want to admit. lol. Because there is nothing harder than letting go of the damn reins. But when us dinosaurs do let go those young men and women we call our kids to include “Alex” even though he may not be a blood relative but you probably see him as yours as well Lol. Well they will always bring you as their mentor and teacher more pride than anyone can ever express. So enjoy standing back sometimes and watch them create magic and then remember that they got what they got because of your hard work and dedication to Pepe’s but never forget your Papa and Mama and the times you probably rolled your eyes at the things they said until they caught you and whacked you with the proverbial old shoe. lol. Happy new year and many blessings to you folks from this old dinosaur as well. Aloha

Great video!! I think Hulk and Flipper should get some kind of "combat" pay or something. You guys always have such a great attitude and it sure showsnin your work.😊
Hello good morning, today is the third day that I have watched your videos, they are very good, I liked them, I am from Brazil🇧🇷 may God bless you and your team 🙏🏻
Hi Josh! I wonder if the container was on the front end of the trailer instead of it being at the rear if that would help stabilize the loads better.... But, it is hard to adjust for over-loaded containers and drivers who are in a hurry.. Good work! I enjoy watching your crew... Ron
I liked all the laughter! I especially like Alex’s laugh, for some reason it makes me feel good. You all seemed to be in a giggly mood. Even Papa was in a good mood, he didn’t yell once. Is the flyover above you being used? I never saw any traffic on it. Love from an old lady on the west coast of Canada. 🇨🇦
Big Flippers front wheels were off the ground until the box was lifted off the trailer. The position of the boom forced the wheels onto the pavement. They came back up when the box was placed on the ground. Also notice the how much Hulk was leaning with the load -- the left side rear outrigger was off the ground.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate these videos. A good antidote to an otherwise crappy day. Oddly, I was just wondering why you Dad had not shown up lately and there he was.
I'm 1:43 into the video. Stopped to say, Ioved the 'break-in' to explain several of the why's behind how you operate. Often times these explanations in the field don't come across due to the intensity of the situation; taking time to explain in a calm/safe environment should really help the viewer learn.
Man I’m so glad that I was to able find your channel I’m tired of all the crap on Netflix Amazon tv , Apple TV and so on, I really like your videos specially because I live in Southern California, sorry about my grammar English is not my first language.
I'm sure people like working with your dad (as well as with you). Rather than barking out orders, he works with the employees. I noticed him say "if it's okay with you" when talking about handling the recovery around the 9:50 mark. His "thank you, that's beautiful work" was nice to hear at around 17:40. I've seen that way of dealing with things many times when he's been in one of your videos.
Excellent video production. The insert explaining the process answered my question about dragging. Maybe someday in the future you can explain the technology in your office - this is magic to many of us.
Oh man I would LOVE to do a video on my office. If enough people are interested why not
Do it
Yes an office video would be great
Office video would be good.
@@PepesTowingService Your office looks like NASA HQ Josh.
Caltrans worker here location Long Beach thanks for your great work 🫡
The fact that boss man Joe consults with Alex about the plan, tells him he did an excellent job to tie those axles, shows the professionalism of this company from the top down. Great job even pushing the limits yet staying safe. Well done PePe's crew
I bet Caltrans and CHP are always happy to see a Pepe's unit pull up. They are guaranteed the job will be done skillfully, quickly and with a sense of urgency.
Absolutely
Do those cops look like they have a sense of urgency to you?😅
@@doak4886they are hoping to ride this out until the end of their shift…
What does a job like this cost?
@@JimJCJimbo couple thousand dollars, all covered through insurance
amazing peice of equipment and it is wonderful to watch a master at work. This guy is a Jedi Knight. Inspiring.

thanks very much
I’m also binge watching the show old videos, usually at 2.30am after work lol
Great job Papa Pepe, Alex, Josh and Enrique.
Impressive to see Big Flipper not caring about working this wreck on the front corner 👍
Great crew, a family of experience
Watching this and previous videos with the owner, the dynamics between Alex and him are great. He likes and respects you😊
100% we all operate like a super funny family
Your dad seems like the type of owner/bosses that I love working for - demands good work, keeps it lighthearted, shares his knowledge, gives kudos, and isn’t afraid to pick up a broom and help.
I love your Dad! Working with my Dad was always a challenge, but I miss him so much. Cherish these moments as well as all the others.
Great job guys, you guys have all the cool toys.
Crazy heavy! The Landoll's tires were not happy! Another great recovery guys, always nice to see Josh's Dad 💪🏼
I found this channel & enjoy watching all the rescues lol I've drove those streets highways and see my fears in reality rollovers and crashes I'm blessed I've never been in those incidents..I've always been the designated driver.. keep up the good work. .
Mega props to you for being the DD!
Happy New year to the Pepe's Towing Crew, hope 2024 carries the team and their families well.
I give you a tremendous amount of respect for how you try to open up lanes! Anyone who has been locked up in traffic over an accident will, too.👍
After you drug the container over to open up additional lane, they never did open up any more lanes...
I never cease to be amazed watching these videos. Been driving a long time but had no idea what was involved to deal with these accidents. My hat is off to all of the guys who do this difficult and dangerous work
Awesome work by Pepe’s crew once again! Keep up the great work Josh and Alex
Buenas noches, que gran trabajo en equipo, todo bien calculado, un trabajo de ingenieros, das gusto veros , y de buen royo , como siempre, enhorabuena, 👏💪👍🖐️🇪🇦🇪🇦❤
Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Glad to see your Dad out with you guys. ❤

Maybe so , but when the lane was cleared by dragging trailer out of lane , the cleared lane wasn’t reopened, so that was totally dumb !!!
@@WestsideCritters it removed the probability of someone hitting the trailer from the open lane though. It was pretty close before they moved it.
Unbelievable the outfit that loaded that box was certainly asleep at the switch! You're recovery Pepe TEAM is REALLY as @politcaloptics stated Excellent as shown in your Video production!!
You guys are a super well oiled machine, work really great together . The Boss is still a beast and a great source of knowledge. Stay Safe Guys!!!
Its really great to see your dad again, and he's representing Pepe's right in high vis! I love how he gave his approval for Alex's axle chaining work, I celebrated with a WOOT WOOT!

Love the family dynamic!

Thanx for explaining Josh! Good to see Dad on the job.
Y’all’s trucks are always clean 🔥
A lot of pride........and work!!
Never fear Alex is here ✊🏻👊🏻😎👍🇺🇸🙏
A real spin out when Alex was up on the container moving left/right 😂 Great job team, can't believe how hard they pack those 20 footers, then fudge the manifests.
Used to get pissed at how slow these guys moved until I read how nearly every container leaving port is completely overloaded.
I am so happy to see Pepe's notification when I wake up in the morning Awesome job
Another awesome video! ❤
Josh Alex and DAD great video with a bit of jabbing back and forth, very entertaining! Awesome work on a busy freeway! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
No entienden estos chamacos! El jefe ya se molesto. Lol always fun working with pops even tho he might be wrong sometimes he still wants it his way. Saludos compas!

Sweet video as always. You crushed the job and the editing per usual. I liked seeing the kinda funny moments from you and alex. Stay safe and thanks for posting !
The two more likable characters to hear and watch,explaining how the job goes and North Philly likes to watch,missing Joe a lot😊😂
Great heavy lift! LA is lucky to have you guys!
You guys are the real deal. Always a great day when I see your dad on the job. It's amazing to see the teamwork and how you guys interact. Thank you.
It's cool to see how well you guys work together, and how each knows to keep the job going, even if it's not their truck/equipment.

Another great recovery keep up the amazing work Pepe' s towing stay safe 🙏💯✌️
Champion content as always gentlemen!!👏👏
I like the way everything is neatly put away after each job, especially up top around the rotator where nothing will bind up. You have a great crew Sr. God bless you all. 🙏
What a brilliant video team work Josh Alex and the king , no one under pressure claim and got the job done 👏👏👏👏
A Great job as usual! Love the insert. Good idea
This is so fascinating to watch!! Please keep this up!
Keep up with the good work love watching you on TH-cam god bless

Hey Josh it's Always nice to have pops on the Job great job
I think you and your company do a great job. Great videos, every one.
Cool video Josh. Great explanation too. Would love to know more about Pepe’s as a whole. Excellent execution of the drag and uprighting. Top stuff!

Lots of guidance from Dad!!!!! Love it!

Es un gran placer ver a ti mijo y a tu papa. Los amo bendiciones de tu abuela.
Strange how those little guys always seem to get loaded crazy heavy. Bringing out the big guns to get it done. Nice work as always the Pepe's way.
With your Dad sweeping up it is not just a new brush that sweeps clean but also an old one !
Josh...that was an interesting pop up you added in the video from your editing office. Thanks for doing it.
