Another rollover! Big Flipper and Hulk to the rescue

- Yet another rollover in one of the biggest hot spots for accidents, the Harry Bridges off-ramp on the 110 freeway. I responded with myself in Hulk and Joe in Big Flipper to handle the loaded container. The customer was able to bring a good chassis for us to put the container on, so I positioned both rotators to allow a clean upright that allowed the chassis to back up underneath the container once in the air.
Big Flipper was positioned in the front to lift and catch off the side while Hulk backed up to the container to lift and catch from the rear. Joe is still in training for recoveries so this one was a bit slower than usual as I walked him through the process.
Overall we got the job done quick and efficient as always! Be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook to see our daily recoveries and more pictures of The Hulk and Big Flipper where I post content regularly.

Hey Pepe's towing service! Thanks for keeping LA freeways moving despite those truckers who corner too fast! Ride ride ride!
You got it, that's what we're here for!
that was a smooth roll aside from that little slide the container did. But when you said 'it wasn't perfect .....' I couldn't help thinking that even your 'not perfect' roll is a whole lot smoother and better than what other towing companies deliver as their standard
I learned to be "smooth" from my father. Everything I do in my videos I learned from him, and still have many years to catch up. We are big on not letting anything slam over, that's why sometimes we use two trucks where most people complain that it could have been done with one. Yes, but a lot of those "one truck" guys slam everything over very messy with no catch. Regardless, thank you for the compliment!
Big Flipper likes them C-notes! Well done once again Pepe's !
Big Flipper makes it rain haha
I worked safety at System-TWT Transport 12k front tractor axle weight, 20k each axle after that. Dude didn't have a clue on his weight for transport. Plus he probably didn't even grease his 5th wheel which caused the trailer to drive the tractor at that speed. Driver caused accident isn't going to go well on his MVR score. Great rescue, I enjoy watching these flips and great drone footage.
Still cant get over the hulk wrap. Way to cool
Thanks! American Wrap Shop did the graphics, they got down on it
Man that is beautiful equipment and you and your crew take so much pride it them. Very nice
Ha ha ha ha Big Flipper gotta eat. 😂😂😂
And so do you my friend. Tepeyac aint giving them huge burritos away any time soon ...
Hollenbeck special!
Another Job Very Well Done By Thee Professional, Hulk is becoming very popular and famous. I love and enjoy how Hulk is Kool and Clam But Strong 50 Tons Of Lifting. Hulk, is a 50 tons of fun but getting respect like 80 ton rotator. Hulk, no pain ! No gain... Hulk works very well with 60 brother and big brother BIG FLIPPER.
Nice job guys them rotators certainly make the job a lot easier than the old fiixed jib. I used to drive a D T with just one winch,we did a lot of jobs on our own would have loved a rotator. Thanks for videos stay safe guys . Cheers Ty in the UK.
We've done miracles with fixed booms as have many top companies, but you are right in that rotators are outstanding in what they can do and how they make the job easier.
Best towing and recovery channel by far.
Thank you!
I know how it feels to have the phone ring when you're in the middle of something really important
I pull containers. Imports are notorious for weighing more than the BOL says.
SOLAS helped but it's still a think to look for. And check the kingpin to see if it's still in spec. I had an empty chassis jump out of a locked 5th wheel once.
Pepe's has the best hard hats. Hapoy New Year.
Job well done and video very well done!! There will definately be an issue with returning that chassis!!
Awesome video !!!!
I saw your trucks on the news again , Are you going to post the video of the semi truck the drove thru a building ??? last week
I was not there for that call, my father handled it so unfortunately no TH-cam video on that one.
HEY JOSH AND DAVE....I had a brainstorm on the not wanting to pay the bill thing after all your guys super hard work....
Just leave a couple cables hook up to his truck and or container and just tell him that you guys can just put the container back on the road if they dont wanna pay...hahahahahahaha...lmao...then you ll get your money for sure...!!!!!
The Hulk could do the whole job by himself they can handle it but sometimes it's safer to use two trucks I've seen Rotator to do it just one truck just fine though it is nice to see different ways of it being done thanks for the video keep the good work up
Great video! Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!
Nice video!
I knew right away that the driver misunderstood you when you asked for the weight. 72k was probably his total GCW. 72k of load in a 40' container alone is impossible, but even if that was the weight of the combined container, chassis and load, it would have required a 4 axle tractor and 3 axle chassis to legally comply with the bridge weight formula.
You would be shocked at what I see. A lot of these runners grossly over pack these containers, then they wonder why they flip. Then they don't let you open the container for "legal" reasons and never have the right paperwork.
You guys are just amazing!
Loved the video. MERRY CHRISTMAS
Happy New Year.✌
Thank you, happy new year to you as well.
Once again great job guys, did someone follow him down the road again? LOL with the load shifted in the can, I'm sure it wouldn't take much for him to be on his side again...... Happy New Year guys, stay safe out there.
From Toronto, Canada
That guy did not care one bit, we can't legally do anything to stop him but it was scary seeing him in such a rush to head to the port without checking everything.
@@PepesTowingService I hear you, you just can't win with some drivers, they think they know it all and never learn by their mistakes. Cheers.
Sir Josh & Crew !!! Another great recovery with minimum time needed to GET IT DONE !! HAPPY NEW YEAR to ALL & ""KEEP IT SAFE ""!!
Merry Christmas happy new year love your videos
Nicely done stay safe
Another nice example of the kind of teamwork that is common with Pepe's Towing Service. Joe is obviously a capable employee or you wouldn't have him handling your biggest truck. I'm guessing he worked with one of your "straight boom" trucks (I'm not sure of the correct term to use.) before taking over Big Flipper.
Joe's assigned truck is a 50ton wrecker, he's a great tower and is shaping up to be a good recovery guy too
@@PepesTowingService OK -- I wasn't making a distinction between towing and recovery work. Of course, the doing recovery work requires much more planning than what is typical for a tow. I'm sure Joe will do well with the added responsibilities.
The video from the drone was awesome man!
Super video. MERRY CHRISTMAS
and Happy New Year
Happy new year to you too!
Gotta love those container drivers
They pay the bills haha
Pepe's Towing Service LOL true!
They all must be the same. I live in Cincinnati and they are nuts out here too.
*Ring-Ring*... "Tere's no one home, and I'm about to go too." :) :)
what kind of training does someone have to have to do this kind of work....you are all pretty smart guys
Loved the video Thank You
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Glad you liked it, happy new year to you too
Textbook job! Great !
I've seen too many that have come off or rolled over because they were too top heavy. The places they come from don't have the same load requirements as the U.S. and therefore containers are usually overloaded and if the driver does not understand or respect that this is what happens.
I be seeing u guys all over la specially opg tow
I’ve noticed that your truck is from Texas. I see the label on front window on left corner by wiper.
Again, law enforcement officers ain’t help you at all. But you’re responsible for disaster on highway.
Great job, fellows!!!!!
I'm impressed by your ability to handle both the drone and the truck. It really adds a great perspective to the video.
Ps. Not to be that guy, but you should really try to not hover over traffic if possible. It's very unlikely, but if the drone happened to fall and hit a car... 😬
Good Job
Great video,again!
Just, out of curiosity, how much is a service like this cost?
thx
He says it's charged per hour per truck. He also said a quick job could be a couple thousand. I'm sure he can't give exact rates here
About a dollar per second🤷♂️
That guy doesn't know what slow is.
Nice job guys! How do you like those light weight snatchblocks on the hulk?
thats one driver who is probly gonna be fired
Cause the equipment is shoddy and broke?
Trailer didn't look like it was meant to carry heavy containers
Dubious you roll a container the chassis always twist they are strong with up and down diagonal loading but twisting it will bend like butter
@@dubious6718 45000 pounds isn't that heavy for a tandem axle trailer. They tend to hold up a lot better when you don't roll them over on their side.
Those container drivers are not employed by them they are just paid by the load and are responsible for it after it's out the lot and their million dollar insurance will over anything that happens to the container I know this because I unload those and the smaller ones the chassis belongs to the company that's about it.
I gotta know how you control what you're doing and control the drone at the same time! You do only have two hands right!?
Is the Hulk your personal truck or the company’s? Love your videos interesting stuff man thanks for sharing
Both, and thank you!
JUst stay hooked...till you get your money
Trucker has no idea what his load weighs. And he wonders why he turned it over. Amazing it didn't flip the tractor. Those fifth wheels usually hold pretty good.
Anyone that is shocked by how expensive something like this would be hasn't driven trucks long...
The company I'll probably have another container on it going down the roadway the end of the day lol
How much does a job like this cost?
Each one varies, these are billed on an hourly basis per truck. A quick job can be a couple thousand, and from there it goes up depending on how long it takes
Great job! What drone do you use?
Great job gotta get paid running those big trucks ain’t cheap I’m sure ur insurance is as bad as ours on east coast
Must be at least $100,000 usd or more, because that's a truck container and it worth a lot's of dough!
I wish! Not even 20% of that lol
What do you do if they fight with you over the bill or they won't pay up?
Show Time !!!!
Where do you purchase you lights bumper lights they look good on rig thanks
Good afternoon, how was your team's Christmas day?
Great! Hope your Christmas was awesome as well.
@@PepesTowingService My family and I have a great Christmas, so you and your family have a great holiday and good health, hugs
Just off the cuff, what would that cost? Like 5-10K
There's no 70,000 in a can that was on a 2-axle chassis. I think that guy meant his gross weight was 70. The most I've ever seen inside a can was 72,000 and it needed a four-legger.
Stan Patterson you would be surprised man. we used to hand stack cases of water in 40'. stuffed! not sure of weight but it's def heavier than most loads. if i could remember how many cases went into a 40' i could give you the weight, unfortunately i don't remember. oh and this was all done on 2 axle trailers
I know that the can itself can handle that sort of weight, but people with reasonable intelligence don't send 70,000 lb loads up the road on a 2-axle trailer or chassis. Can 2 axles handle it? Maybe, but not for long. Sooner or later, the weakest link is going to let go, whether it's a tire or two, the suspension, the wheel bearings... and if you get going with that sort of weight and suddenly need brakes, that's just not enough braking to bring you to a stop quick enough or short enough. It's your business if you just want to use a 2-axle trailer for storage or cartage on your own property, but taking ridiculously overweight loads out on the public roads or highways is going to bite you one day. You just want to hope it doesn't involve death.
You need to clarify the actual weight of the contents of the container Subtracting the weight of the equipment
I am doing containers for about a year and couple of months, if you don t know what you have inside of that stupid box, take it dead slow. Some people don t care what they put inside and how they put the stuff in.
so ballpark what would this recovery have cost?
not a 18 wheeler drive I R but, 72 is over code ,right?
How many rotators does Pepes have and how many does van lingen have
We have 5 total in the company. Van Lingen has two with a third one on the way. They were the first in the state with a 5 axle 75ton and first one with a tandem tandem JD rotator.
What's with the ring tones? Are they coming from the drone?
The drone is connected to my phone and that's how the audio is recorded. My shop was calling me which is what you hear
According to Plaza Towing in Indio California won't allow rotators, how come you have 2?
Not sure what you're talking about lol, they have a Rotator themselves. And we have 5. Every major company in California has at least one.
@@PepesTowingService : I say it recently on one of their videos and what he was driving was not a rotator. Oh well!!!! 😛 😜 😝😛 😜 😝
@@Android_Warrior we do have strict weight laws but nothing banning a 360 degree boom. Maybe you misunderstood something? In fact, Hulk is a 50ton rotator very very similar to Plaza Tows 50ton rotator
@@PepesTowingService : No I did not, he said that but I'm glad California is not as crazy as it is. nice towing jobs by the way!!!
Hopefully driver learned to slow the hell down
What was insid that ship container to.make it weigh so much 🙄🙄?? To much speed can be real issue when the driver is not trained to handle .it happy new year young.man
That driver is probably fresh out of truck driving school...SMH 🤦♂️
@@louielopez1638 if that,s the case he is got some explaning to do for that hopefuly the cargo was not messed up.or your fired as donald trump.said back in the day 😮😟
No clue, we never opened it up. They need to be more careful
@@PepesTowingService you are right about that a car could have been the side the box container fell on if the truck had been in the left lane
How much would something like this cost?
From a couple thousand to the 5 digit range depending on how long the trucks are there / how difficult it is
What year truck is that big flipper and the other one
2019. The other is a 2020
Chingon 👍
about how much money to do all that?
So at 14 and 15 min I paused the video and wanted to see if it w as s my phone ringing
I'll keep my phone on vibrate next time lol
Next tow call coming in.
if the container weighs 70000, that puts the whole rig about 30000 overweight. is the CHP watching?
This is what happens when you don't put a zip-tie on each of the four corner's locks! Locks keep pins where they're supposed to be! And when you hit potholes, bumps, etc...those locks can move & become unlocked! This is from driver being in a big hurry in at least two ways. Yeah driver will be fired for this and speeding! Or his boss is an idiot too! Maybe it's the driver, as in, owner operator? CSA will Assess this idiot's CDL with points and his Insurance company will probably cover this, then shit-can him. These guys get their CDL out of box of "Kracker Jacks" and then only have to watch a 30 min Safety video! Because these guys weren't Trained Properly, they are 4-wheelers still, trying to steer a truck! Hey good, steady business for you guys! At least you guys know what in the hell yur doin! Good vid! Thanks for vid!
You need to find someone who is better at running the other truck by himself !! But another great vid !!!
Everyone starts from somewhere, even the big heavy hitters in the game at the moment all were trained at one point.
I'm sorry I should have waited to know why he didn't have a lot of experience !!
@@powderflint It's cool, I said in the video plus the description that Joe is still training for recoveries, but he is shaping up to be really good at it.
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 Nicley done 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
you had the chain hooked in the bottom of the box so you couldnt set it on the trailer. you had to pull the trailer out. put the box on the ground and re rig it. pick it back off the ground. back the trailer under and set it. that video of that is missing!!!! Marty the rigger
Are you high? Have you not seen my dozens of other similar videos? The locks are flush, you set it down, lock it, then pull the chain out. If you're going to speak out of your ass, at least try and sound like you know what you're talking about
Driver error didn't ck box on chassis
9
i own trucks i have paid that OMG bill before my insurance paid all but 2000 of a 65,000 bill
65,000? That is insane, may I ask how long the recovery took and how many tow trucks were used?
#385 thumbs uP
Why did you use chain in the pockets when you guys have container links?
Container links only fit in the top holes. Have you ever seen a bottom container hole? They're much thicker.
What kind of ringtone do you have
Stock T-mobile ringtone
@@PepesTowingService thanks and I found it in my app call zedge and I just type in tmobile and it was the first one
Hate the phone ringing
That's all you have to say about the entire video? Don't watch then
Pepe's Towing Service , I didn’t even watched I hate the background cellphone ringing :(
And I unsubscribe :(
@@mgp-bct7723 you unsubscribed because of a cell phone? What a psycho
Why is there a Tx tag on your windshield?
That's where the factory of my chassis came from
@@PepesTowingService Thanks, for the feedback👍
Im sorry but if your not even sure how much your load weighs im not sure you should even have a god dam license. Thats kind of important dont you think?
