Red-tagged at the scales for TWO INCHES!

- Red-tagged at the scales for TWO INCHES! Mannn talk about cutting it CLOSE! We get jobs at the scales all the time, mainly for overweight. But this is a first; being put out for literally 2 inches. This company called us and told us that this poor driver had been there since the night before. The original tow truck company they called showed up, struggled then left after he couldn't do it. Not sure what method they used, but we sent Alex in Big Flipper, our 75ton rotator.
These are very unusual lifts, so Alex decided to play it super safe by using dual spreader bars. On top of this, he used all synthetic rigging from Bailey's Tow Accessories and extra protection to protect both the straps and the concrete load. Once fully rigged, it was lift time so this unit could ever so gently be lined up 2" away.
Job was successful and the scale gave him the green light to proceed. The beauty of sending Big Flipper on this job is the ability to handle such a heavy load off the side at this distance. Customer was on his way after a long 24hrs and more than likely probably wished they called us first. What did you guys think of this super heavy solo lift from Alex?

my wife never complaining about 2 inches 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Jbraz1you need to watch it again!
😂😂😂😂😂😂!!!!!
She might not complain to you!
@@tiredoldmechanic1791😱😭😭
Another professional job well done by Alex. Alex is so polite and respectful. Awesome representation of Pepe’s
I thought they allowed 4 inches each side? Nit picking CHP!!!!
Yep. Could have travelled with a red flag and driver kept over a bit. Now added $$$$ to the bill.
That's not a chp is a dumb grease monkey. The sad part is that now he has more weigh on the left side of the trailer
yep, Tirannic
The confidence Alex has is cool to watch. "Yeah imma do this and that, and that will go there" *boom* job done.
Overhang by 2 inches? That’s something I would expect from the Banning weigh station 😂
Georgia ,...Tennesse or Arkansas in my opinion!!!! 135K subscribers
You guys are sooo close to one hundred thousand subscribers 👍
Come on people let’s push them over. A bunch of great guys…
Good Job. Congratulations Alex, you're getting so much better at "talking" us through your thought process.
Well, it's not legally over-wide, but I can see how the Chippie could be concerned with side-to-side balance. OTOH, if you take 40,000 and divide it by the width of the trailer (102") you wind up with about 392 pounds per linear (front to rear) inch of load width. So a 2" overhang to one side is only 784 pounds of a 40,000# load. That's nothing, so the Chippie must have had a burr under his saddle.
People who math rule!
It's less than that, much less, it's only the flange that's overhanging. If he gets it within the 102" it will offset the wieght in the other direction
@@rainerpenner8202no it’s not because the male and female flanges would weight the same and your suggestion that the trailer sees the weight overhanging the rails is wrong it balances from the trailers cg not the rails
@@Doubie. The female flange will definitely weigh more.
That is ridiculous. Welcome to California “The special state”.
Special...nooo! Socialist...yes!!!
Nearing Communist.
So much work to do this job correctly. Nice job as always. The stuff that I see going down the road and they mess with this guy.........
I'll bet that everyone feels safer now that this has been moved two inches. I can't understand why everything costs so much in California..... or just maybe I can.
Hell I live on the east coast and I know I was losing sleep over that 2"! LOL
Alex, great job protecting that fresh concrete! It's obvious that the CHP officer only has two inches to play with!
Those blocks are usually used for drainage
Good job Alex for straightening out the shipper's mistake.
2 inches... Someone didn't have sex and was Grumpy.. OR Wifey told him 2 inches wouldn't do it so he did the same thing at the job🤷♂️🤣
Great video again!
Thanks
Alex another quality job, you show so much respect to the customer and the CHP, that goes a long way for PEPES! Thanks for sharing and stay safe! Kevin
I think that’s what I Meyer most about you guys and you, Alex and Josh and always explain exactly everything you’re doing and I really find that so exciting and interesting as a 71-year-old female I’ve always always liked cars and trucks so this is right up my alley
Love how you had,
The Man w/ Authoritay😮
To Bless It !!😅😂
Another Awesome job by Alex. He has got to be one of the most laid-back and chill guy's ever 👍
Thanks for the video. Alex's attention to detail with explanations make the video informative as well as entertaining. Seamless video and great camera work. Thanks again.
Great job Alex
Nice work Pepe's.... Love watching all the great content ‼‼‼‼
Just noticed he only had 3 straps for 45,000. I guess they didn’t catch that.
good job. very precise work performed here
CHP should really know better than to call another towing company. PEPEs always has the equipment and the staff to work on such different towing and trucking issues. They formulate a plan before they begin and get it done correctly the first time. I love to watch how you guys take on the tasks. Great Job as usual. From New Hampshire!!!!!
CHP doesn’t call, the truck driver calls.
I do not know the policy out there, thank you for informing me. @@ericksumner7688
CHP does not make the call. It is not their responsibility, nor their authority. The truck driver could have told CHP to piss up a rope and left.
Nice work Alex!
Nice work, Alex. Way to stay positive even though it was 2 inches and you had to finish up in the rain!
Alex you are a definite born natural for the job ! Thats petty to red flag the driver for 2 inches . They should have called you guys first so they could get it done and done right . Another great video .
Californica scales are all shady. Got inspected by a training group, they couldn't find anything wrong so the woman that was looking at my truck to trailer coiled air lines bent one in half and made a crimp in it. Out of service and a ticket. Not a fix a ticket. Mechanic on site, told him a needed a air connection fixed...he asked red or blue. I never said a coiled line to him. Very "conveniently" he had a cap on his pickup and it was full of red/blue coiled air lines. Total setup between the scale and the mechanic. There was also a tire guy with a 6 wheel service truck pulling a tandem trailer, both full of nothing but drive tires. Scale had put a truck out of service for irregular drive tire wear. They weren't irregular, just normal wear. Total ripoff.After I changed the coiled line myself, I went inside to get the repair signed off, they did that. I remarked that his brother was reasonable on the price.
2" is assinine...the truck mirrors extend way farther.
I see they havent changed a bit. I was last in California in the late 80's and they were doing the same crap back then.
Skunk scent was used quite often by truckers going into California in the 80s and 90s
Good job, fun to follow your videos, greetings from Sweden😃
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
Saludos mi Alex, excelente trabajo, saludos a Josh!
Abrazos desde Ensenada B.C.
Another awesome performance 🤓🙋♂️👍
Great job as usual stay safe out there ….
100k soon! Keep the great content coming!
Alex another job well done
I am amazed that a rotator truck can do impressive work.
Great Job Pepe's Towing.
Wow 2 inches really?
For that officer 2 inches really pinched a nerve😄
Not sure why but TH-cam threw this to me as a recommended and its been fun watching your vids. First one I saw was the crane tip over when they were cutting someones tree. That one was nuts! Very cool to see you work that call. Also as someone who has family who drive truck for construction companies, I can always appreciate a guy who keeps a nice, clean, organized tow truck, especially with how crazy the job can get with moving stuff around all the time. However, you gotta work on that messy truck bed lol.
Alex, I love this channel band you are my favorite
Awesome video Alex !!! , That CHP scale is a training facility for new CHP truck inspectors . They'll red tag anything
A comment more on the scale operator than the company or driver. I was stopped with a 40 ton load for 225 lbs. equally ridiculous but overall most of the scale guys are reasonable. No point in loosing our cool. 👍👍👍😃
Buen trabajo👏👍🇪🇦💪
Very nice work smooth 😄👍👍👍👍😊
It's not the 2 inch I would be worried about , more the fact the way it is secured to the trailer.
The only thing id do differently is set it on cork mat so it's not concrete on aluminum.
Ya, I’d definitely have more securement
Well now that was a very Easy job Alex you never seem to amaze me you and Josh and of course my papi chulo JOE ❤️ he needs to SHOW MORE OF HIMSELF on videos but anyways like Josh says this job was papitas 😂😂 say hello to my joe❤ have a blessed and wonderful rest of your day ❤️
Good job my friend ! 😎🍺♥️
CHP, gotta love 'em! They do know that a soft side trailer has binders on it that stick out 2 inches farther than the van, right? They just caused delays, overages and wasted time. Great job holding things in when dealing with them Alex! Alex, would Pepe's like to help with the refurb of our M62 military wrecker? I sent you guys an e-mail!
Box Culvert;s are used mainly in road construction, such as roads that have a lot of heavy truck traffic, unless damaged they will last for a very long time
per CVC SECTION 35406 California allows cargo to overhang a vehicle by 4 feet beyond the rear, 3 feet beyond the front and 4 inches beyond the side of the vehicle. YOU MT USE markings IF the load extends 1 foot or more to the left or over 4 feet to the rear of any vehicle.
Nice try.... Now go pull up DOT. The governing body.
3 straps on 44000 lbs and no headache rack, and he's worried about 2 inches overhanging
If that thing manages to move far enough to hit the cab, a headache rack isn't gonna slow it down.
@@EyeMWing no but the headache rack will cause the cab to pop off cleanly saving your life
I used to run Heavy Haul and typically refused all loads going to California, Oregon and Washington state! I hauled two loads of HVAC units that were 14 foot wide early on and it took two weeks to get from the eastern state line of California to the coast outside San Clemente! I needed permits for every county on top of the permits to enter the state! I made sure the broker secured the permits b4 I even accepted the loads officially! State decided that the permits were invalid cause there was two extra units not declared on the application paperwork even though we were inside the parameters for weight, length and width. Took a week to get the permits for state cause it was Memorial Day weekend on Friday. Then they wouldn’t let us roll out of the scale house till the rest of the permits were approved and they made each county check the route we were to travel physically, meaning a county worker from each county had to drive the route and measure bridges and overpasses! Half of them kept saying there was no route so the broker sent the pilot car to those counties and showed them how to measure using proper tools! After that fiasco I never delivered to California again even though that was one of the highest paying jobs I ever hauled!
What's it? This driver here has to pay for this btw?
You are literally training other towers how to do it right.🙃👍
Had to call big dawgs to come slide that over
Nice job rigging and protecting everything. I just told Pepe to give you a 15% raise and 3 weeks vacation yearly.
3 weeks extra vacation?
Or is the normal vacation time in LA/California/USA really so low that 3 weeks would be considered an improvement?
Alex saw all that rigging and the pressure points before he touched a single piece of hardware. And that's the way a pro does it.
good job...
From the stencil inside the structure, it appears to be a box culvert made by Jensen Precast of Fontana California
Absolutely silly of the DOT to do this. No profit in this load now. Alex did a primo job
CHP harping on that particular 2" over and didn't even look at the lack of tiedowns.
Never leave small amount of overhang on passenger side. Always on the drivers side. It’s away from the shack.
Nice safe job. That driver should have rejected the load in the first place, they know the rules.
It's for water ways covert roadways ! Good job.
The driver also needs to have more tie downs on that load you need at minimum of 6 for 80% of the weight total. That is what opened this driver up for the inspection and seeing that he was overhanging on the trailer will make the inspectors find everything that is wrong.
Only have to cover 50% of the weight, but over securement is always better. Number of securement devices depends on WLL of straps. 4” unmarked is good for 4000# (need 6), most are marked for 5400# (need 5), my company uses 4” rated at 6600# (need 4).
They didn't say shit about the straps, just the 2" "imbalance".
All of you are making claims AFTER somebody had already been there trying to shift the load. Bunch of tough guys.. and not a a sign of intelligence between any of you.
Ron Pratt helped install bigger ones than that,it is a culvert for bridging a small waterways 😊
I wonder if the shipper or the driver will pay for that. The driver should have not left the shipper until the load was centered. Would a wide load permit cost less than the rotator?
I'm guessing they would not give a wide load permit because it's possible to load it properly. Just like an overweight permit is not given for reducible loads. I've had an overweight load of scrap metal where I had to come to the scales with an excavator and take two tons of scrap off the top. They would not let me get an overweight permit.
Waste of time and money.
It's less than the mirrors wide, at a guess.
Coppers been a pain in the nips, as usual.
Quotas at work.
Still don't have under run bars in trailers.
Priorities are all to c0ck.
Thats shocking ,put you did a professional job
I’ve had my life ruined over 2”. They always ask, why can’t it be another 2” and I have to leave shaking my head
That is pretty CS if you ask me.
I had the misfortune of crossing from Mexico to the USA at El Paso on a border inspector`s first day on the job and she wanted to tear our car apart before another agent stopped her.
ALEX IS A GREAT REP FOR PEPE'S, A REAL GENTKEMAN LOVE HIS VIDEOS ... WHERE WERE YOU JOSH ?? HAHA IN A NICE DRY OFFICE HA HA HA ?? LOVE YA JOSH .,,,, SETH C CONN.
What up Pepe 's towing WOW 2 inch 😮
That's a pretty good size storm drain box we set these all the time with a trackhoe😅
a catch basin, sure, this is a good-sized box culvert section...
i really do love the rigging bit, i love to work smarter not harder, where can this 67 year old coot learn more about rigging, block and tackle and the whole lot?
Books... The subject matter is as old as man kind.
9:44 - Alex: Who's the man? (referring to the guy in green rain gear)
Drew: He's the guy that works inside at the scales.
Great job done safely i didn't see a problem with it but everyone see's it differently.
I called him box culverts, basically for water drainage
That is a section of Culvert pipe. It is normally uesd to let water run under roadways.
Do you have a video covering each of your rigs and their capabilities? And a shop tour with Myguyver.
I know that DOT Officer. Hes' a nice guy, a couple years ago, when i was driving for JB, my dispatcher pissed me off, so i came in and asked him i want to get back at him for only giving a 34hr. restart. Itold find something to on my truck so they can tow it back to the yard and fix it. I wanted a tow bill exceeding $5000. He couldnt find anything
Many moons ago, I drove a armored tractor trailer. LN9000 Ford with a Detroit 8v92. My partner and I made one sometimes two trips into California a year at most, as we were based on the east coast.
Pulled into the scales immediately flagged to the side. Where is your armored vehicle permit? What permit? New law we knew nothing of, so sat until the permit company paid the extortion fee in Sacramento for a sticker plus the fine. Back then it was a couple hundred dollars.
Leaving California get stopped at the scales, placed a Pig Pan under the engine, oh more than 5 drops of oil, out of service. Service truck for new pan gasket and 20 gallons of oil, plus disposal fee for the old 3,000 mile oil removed to replace the pan gasket. Note to California, 2 stroke Detroit diesels leak oil.
After these two occurrences, we turned down all California trips.
BS. That's fine though. Stay out, nobody misses you, and plenty will haul our fat stacks.
Driver should have had that adjusted before he left the shipper.
I wouldn't have. The center of gravity was in the center of the trailer where it should have been. By moving it 2 inches off to one side just to correct the overhang has shifted the center of gravity to the left, meaning the load is less stable during right hand turns. That's a FAR greater danger than the 2 inches overhang ever was.
Alex should have pointed this out to CHP and refused to move it like this on safety grounds.
Nice job Alex! Thanks Josh for the video❤! How is the family doing?
Concrete culvert, used in sequence with others to carry water under roads and freeways etc.
They will not go through all that to lift it at the jobsite. if there are no imbeds cast in it, it will be 2 chains through the center and a crane.
Honestly the driver should have had it loaded to the center of the trailer to begin with. If it would have been in-between the rub rail he would have been good. But anything over the rub rail is considered oversize no matter what.
Segmented drainage pipe, male to female as long as you want it to go. It can and will get chipped and damaged from handling on site and at final location.
I believe this is part of a box culvert for drainage or at least moving water from one side of a road to another.
correct
wide load permit ?
8:45 Those are usually used as culverts, or as animal crossings.
It's for constructing culvert for moving water
the lifting eyes on top of those are engineered to attach to. These sections are placed by crane or large excavator and the lips fit into each other to seal.
Not enough securement. Hooking to rub rail is not a good idea..."rub" rail is designed to protect protect structure of trailer, not rated as a tie down point...need to take hook to frame of trailer or have a tie down rail under the deck (similar to sliding winch track). Trailer flex can make those strap hooks break...strap is putting tension on weakest part of hook.
Alternative is having a strap with a short length of chain and a hook to be able to wrap around a tie down rated pipe spool or pocket.
In a panic stop that concrete piece will break the rub rail and take the cab off the tractor crushing the driver.
Rub rails have a WLL on some trailers. Not my preferred option, but is allowable. Just want to avoid forces pulling out or twisting the rub rail.
i wonder if the chp had to pay for 2 inches of move he would have said bugger it. way you go m8. but oh no the trucking firm will have to pay the bill.
It’s used for storm drainage under roadways
The mirrors on the truck stick out more than the block did
wow! for 2 inches.
2"? are you kidding me? I can understand safety but I guess it is all a learning experience for the primary loaders.
I was hatched in Fort Gary, Winnipeg, Canada in 1952. Don't mess with DOT Police.
That is a bridge box used under roads for water to go under the road
I like your chrome Sheep heads , You charge extra for the use of them ?
