- 2022 Dodge Ram TRX crashes into and destroys semi - rotator recovery. This call came in as an Official Police Garage request, with very few details. I was just given information on a load shift in the city of Encino. Someone in the area happened to send me a blurry picture, which is why I knew to bring a rotator and Landoll to handle whatever it is.
It was a lot harder while also easier than I thought, if that makes sense. A brand new Dodge Ram TRX crashed and took out the entire side of the tractor, before flipping a couple hundred feet up ahead. Joe showed up in the Landoll with a forklift to tackle the shifted load. Once cleared, I used the rotator to split the tractor from the trailer, and set it onto the Landoll since the front and rear axles were beyond toast.

Holy Crap already!! What a freaking mess!! It NEVER ceases to amaze me that people can come out of the most INSANELY mangled cars with little or even no injuries!! The local garbage company should just send a truck for the rest of the mess. Joe did an excellent job on this one, you should buy him an extra large coffee. Haha!!
Hazmat was used for the rest of the mess. They were on scene before we left. But I agree, you'd figure half my jobs would be fatal wrecks, but people like through the craziest stuff.
Quality built trucks!
@@PepesTowingService Was the dude on his way back to Charlie Sheens place and he crashed???
@@trxfrmr4191 airbags
When ya gotta show up with shovels and brooms its pretty bad...
That headache rack definitely saved the driver of the trucks life. That TRX driver had to have been going extremely fast.
More like insanely fast!
Luckily no one (RAM driver) was killed.
@@Lut852 Yeah...that's what's been reported on the news.
This is the primary reason why T-Rex drivers gotta pay an extraordinary amount of insurance. I'll stay with driving Tesla for right now. 😬
Forgive my last comment 🙏... Yeah he definitely was going fast..
Somewhere... someone is looking at that TRX and thinking "I can fix that". 😂
Goonzsquad 😂
That camera is AMAZING in low light. Love the look of prime lenses wide open even if the focus is tricky.
I agree, a wide prime 20mm f1.8 is crazy awesome. The more I use it, the better I become at handling it.
Hey Josh...!!! That guy had to of been going at least 90 mph to of had that much damage to both vehicles... WOW...
No doubt! You can't do that much damage driving under the speed limit lol
…of???
The truck is regulated to 92 MPH only .....
@@PepesTowingService It seems, nobody drives under the speed limit in Texas, in my experience!
@@mmarciniak As high as gas is theyre wide open in a truck thats rate in the low tens driving normally.
16:46 what a nice guy giving you that recognition, another great job Josh and Joe!
I agree, makes it seem like he's holding the camera with one hand and working the remote with the other.... I always thought he just had a better/different gopro attached to him and was using both hands on the remote.
@@Ricochet845 Yup, that is exactly what I do. The GoPro just doesn't have the quality, depth or any of that of a professional camera. I hold my Sony in one hand while operating the rotator with my wireless remote in the other hand.
@@PepesTowingService BRUH! a WHOLE new level of respect for you. I mean I've seen you use the remote one handed before in other videos, but the stillness of the video being filmed with one hand, working the controls with the other, and keeping everything in frame and everything.... MASSIVE skill. now I have to buy a big rig to wreck out in cali and have you come to the recovery. LOL.
@@jamesalinio5277 kinda defeats the purpose of wrecking a truck & trailer than don't it? I would want Josh and crew to clean up and recover the rig I destroy so they get a video, but I gotta do it in such a spectacular way that it actually challenges Josh and his crew... my gears are spinning (no pun intended)
EDIT: holy SHIT that pileup is insanity. just looked it up, Schuylkill Pa, man apparently this white out came outta no where...
@@Ricochet845 I would be honored to handle your huge wreck haha
Your recoveries are all very interesting. Shows the depth of your skills. Be safe from Cincinnati Ohio.
Thanks for watching!
i really respect the way you analyse the situation and explain it to us viewers before you rush in there with the big boy toys. i've learned a lot from watching and am glad to have found your channel again - i've remembered to hit the subscribe bell this time! 🙂
He is thorough. You can learn alot about recovery work watching these guys. I used to do this when I was younger. Man if we only had some of them fine toys to play with back when...
I’d call that a front on impact if the trucks left steer is gone. Not an investigator, but that’s me take.
Great job on Joe for reloading the trailer. Sometimes 2 heads are better than 1.
Wait 'til the Ram driver gets his next insurance bill. I'm thinkin it's gonna be going up a little bit.
Dude in the Trx wasn’t ready for that 700 + hp. Hulk did his job well!
Hello Josh, where you been? I've been working hard rebuilding my 30 ton Holmes Rotator, transmission needs over haul. It's a very old work horse built to last forever! Old stuff is the best stuff. Lol.. Been watching, laying low in the cut sometimes it's best to watch without making Comments. I got 1000 percent confidence within you and entire Pepe's got everything under control.

@@PepesTowingService Yes Sir, Always watching each and every moments of truth produced by you. Sometimes it's best to do less commenting, just watch.

They don't build they like they use to. 30 Ton Rotator by Holmes. All Machine Gears No State Of Art Smart Computer Systems like Big Flipper! Or Hulk.
wow With over 35 years in recovery industry I’ve seen many head-on crashes very rare to see one where both parties walk away
Fortunately I see it often, especially with newer model cars. What tow company are you with?
Can you imagine look on homeowners face when contractor lets him know framing for new addition is slightly delayed?
They love that
Yea,the wood framing is being pre stressed like some concrete is
Everyone of your jobs are so interesting and you all do amazing work. Actually you make it look simple but when you look at each one, you really figure it out in your mind before you touch a thing. Thank you and Stay safe!!
Thanks Sarah. Every job is definitely unique in their own ways, and you are correct. I mentally tackle each job before I start anything. From there it's just a matter of following through my game plan and adjusting when necessary.
Awesome job you and Jo done. Thanks for sharing. Stay healthy and safe
Thanks for watching!
That pickup driver got lucky in that he lived through that. What a mess!!! You guys do make it look easy...shows to me you know your job very well!! Great job by both of you:-)
L
Thank you! It helps that I'm always pretty calm and keep my sense of humor; gives it the illusion that everything is easy. My experience also helps.
Josh and Joe great job! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
An almost unbelievable amount of damage and debris in this ''accident''. Makes you wonder how fast the TRX was going!?
I might have missed something, but I only see one strap still on the trailer.....it should have had more. Spending a few extra minutes to start with might have made a difference.
Another great recovery. LA is blessed to have you working there.👍
There definitely was major speed involved, and the trailer did have multiple straps. I'm not sure if it shows in the beginning, but we did have to remove the straps to take the wood off and set it back properly.
The Dodge can only do 92 MPH it's speed regulated cause of being a taller truck
@@travisyarbrough4033 ONLY??? Anything much over 65 or so can cause HUGE ASS damage
@@travisyarbrough4033 actually, it limited at 118. But like was said above, half that speed would be enough to cause that much damage.
@@travisyarbrough4033 bull. A regular dodge kicks off around 105.
Josh, the title scared the bejeezus outta me.... for some reason I completely missed the word semi...TWICE, and thought the pick up destroyed a rotator... Glad it was my horrible eye sight playing tricks on me though. Also glad to hear no one was seriously/gravely injured. You and Joe did an awesome job, as usual for a Pepe's crew. I gather by your "what would I know about light duty" comment you don't do any of it or just haven't in a long time? Did you then get your class A license and go right into heavy wrecker/rotator work?
Another great job you two! I echo the dude who gave you props Josh, how you operate Hulk and a camera rig simultaneously is just insane!🤯👌🏻
Thanks! I have LOTS of practice doing that haha
yay theres Joe....good to see him again, love that man...... :-)..Great job Josh and Joe.....love watching you work together....hard to believe the mess with no injuries
Seems everyone loves Joe lol, for good reason!
Good shot inside the cab of the now tuna-can truck. Can see why the driver survived. Just hope the other guy survives better. A LOT of frigging work, there. Kudos.
Mr Josh That is some major damage. Thanks for sharing and stay safe
Thank you!
OPG I is to be commented for an outstanding Recovery Savage Operation from beginning to end. Joe did a fantastic job recovering and organizing that freight. Again...outstanding!
I can NOT believe that TRX driver survived this without severe injury!!😱😱
I see it all the time. If he had his seatbelt, I'm sure he got banged up, and since it was on the side the FD had to cut the roof. But I would rather a totaled truck and bruises and get to keep my life.
Poor Joe earned his coffee today.. what a mess! Thanks for another cool video
I grew up in the small town (Marysville, KS) where Landoll makes their trailers...always cool to see them show up someplace new!
Love watching your vid.s Your team works together so well. Everything seems to work smoothly. There are other channels. The guy sounds a might bossy and wants to be a control freak. I would much rather watch you work as a team and feed off each other. Stay safe out there.
A handy tool for the skid steer would be a quick tach rotary broom to quickly clear the debris to a cleanup pile, to get traffic thru again.
My goodness what a mess! And yeah I agree about the headache rack! So glad these vehicles are getting safer and safer because this could've been extremely tragic otherwise.
Great recovery!
I don’t think you know what you mean about those vehicles are getting safer and safer do you think a old 1900s truck would be destroy like this just by getting hit with a little pick up truck? Those semi truck back then were Sefer.
@@jacksonalouidor8342 it is NOT a Little pick up truck, it is over 5000 lbs going at a VERY high rate of speed. The semi is not as demolished as you think also. The front axle, gas tank and part of the rear axle is damaged. It was a sideswipe at a VERY high speed.
Awesome job! All I could think of when the Hulk had the cab in the air was "That's one heck of a Semi Pinata" 😆😆
I have never seen a heavy tow job like this..... great work, stay safe!
If that's the case, you should subscribe if you aren't already! I have multiple playlists of stuff just like this and even better.
I just found this video and channel. Just subscribed to your channel. I can't even begin to guess how costly a tow of this caliber would cost. That pick up owner better have great insurance.
Awesome video content you guys! 👍🏻💙👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
“Fly baby fly !!!”. Good job and great content.
worlds first TRX convertable, love your sense of humor
worlds first TRX convertable, love your sense of humor!
Great video Joshua!
Two very lucky drivers! I'm thinking the pickup driver hit the semi at a high rate of speed! Hope he has good insurance! Good job getting your part done!
You are not a Ron Prat! But you are good man! Just yanking your chain! Good job!😁🛫
This is interesting because I'm the guy stuck in traffic. Being in construction and OSHA card holder, this was really cool to watch. We(the general public) do not see this often. How we do it. Equipment cleans up equipment. Haha. Dope channel. ... I'm no youtube expert but less talking more equipment, etc. ✌🏻🤘🏻
Amazing the guy in the pu wasn't killed. Sure inflicted a lot of pain on the semi. Love watching you play with your rotator. 😎
I just subscribed looking forward to more video hulk is a beast
Great job as usual. Hulk is the beast of the roads. BUT what a mess. Truck junk everywhere. You and Joe work well together. Keep up the good work.
I want to see another fishing expedition. This time for expensive sports car. Like daddy buys for rich spoiled brat.
thanks 4 the video be safe out there from ky
Great vision ..great work ..very impressive !!
You did a great job cleaning that one up! I always wish for a street sweeper on these big messes! Stuff everywhere! Not your first day on the job!
The low-light capability of the new camera is amazing. How much does one of those tractors weigh? It's obviously well within Hulk's working limits but I was thinking about the stronger & weaker lifting zones as you swung it 180 degrees.
Agreed, I love the F 1.8 lens, really allows me to capture so much detail at night. I didn't nail the settings the way I wanted here but still it looked great. Tractors vary, but they can easily weigh close to 30,000lbs. No problem for Hulk at any angle.
@pepe is the man and knows his stuff. From my non-experienced armchair, I too was a little nervous seeing such a heavy load out there so far from the truck. Lot's of weight on the outriggers. But what do I know? I'm just a guy watching videos.
What a mess !!! TRX is No Mas Lol
Glad no one was hurt. As always great recovery and great skills 👍
Cool Video. Great clean up job
This is why I yield to big rigs!! Cool clean up as usual. Blessings
You worry about the TRX first. Can't you see who hit who?
@@markblix6880 Definetely! It was a head on impact. My point was, l do best to look out for big rigs & motor cycles. No matter who's at fault, vehicles can be replaced, human life is fragil. Thankful, these people survived. Amazing clean up dont' you think?
Damn, they opened up like sardine can’s. Great work, stay safe out there.
The TRX held up really well considering, I knew they beefed up the frame for the engine, but that's impressive. The driver is going to be paying a lot of money for a long long time for this mess.
Why? That’s why you have insurance!
@@kwhite145 and as soon as you make a claim your insurance goes up....especially if the Ram driver was determined to be at fault. He/she will most likely be put in high risk pool for that mess. Plus blood sucking low life lawyers will most likely get involved here then the sky is the limit as far as expenses go. I went through all that crap when my son was in college and was hit almost head on by another student that ran a red light and made an illegal turn. One student got hurt...( the ONLY one out of 7 in 2 cars that were involved that wasn't wearing a seat belt...). Lawyers got involved and, get this... I was determined to be the cause of the accident ( I was sitting in my recliner watching TV 100 miles away) and my insurance went up to almost 5 grand a year for 4 years while I was in the high risk pool. Yeah see if you can figure that one out....but that is the honest to God truth.
It was ALSO, mostly a sideswipe type of accident, not much overlap at all. More of a head on and the pick truck would be completely GONE.
Another thing to not overlook is that semi safety, older semis wouldn't have crumbled like that. The bumper on older semis would've taken his head off, I know for sure if he hit my deuce and a half, he would've died right on the hit with his head going through the bumper
Yup, much more beefier than other truck brands, like Ford trucks, which is a big reason why Dodge's are so expensive. Get what you pay for.
19:43 dam i think i heard the headlight crack or something glass break. Yall gotta be more careful
Awesome work!!!
I like your sense of humor on your jobs it can be monotonous at times
It's not often you see the truck above the trailer. That rotator is a beast!
man Joe is a fucking beast bro !!! you guys are lucky to have a guy like him
Agreed, Joe is a killer employee and good guy.
The two Drivers in get the award for the most you can destroy a vehicle without getting seriously hurt!!
Very cool video guys and very impressive
A buddy of mine has a TRX and I may say it's powerful and fast as fuck for a pick up truck.
18 wheelers are tough but this one met its match!! The TRX must have been going 100 MPH to do that much damage!! His insurance is definitely going up!! He did about a quarter million 💰in damage. Don’t hit an 18 wheeler!
Amazing how Hurcules lifted that cab like it was nothing! That’s what big💰buys!!
I can’t see any tie down straps on that load!
Somebody will have to wait for their delivery!
Cool video 👍😁
Its amazing everyone lived threw this.!
Good job, you could have put a couple of slings around the wood and moved it to the back of the trailer for your buddy. Great video!!
Wow... no major injuries? That's amazing
What I cannot get over is how like the moment these new vehicles come out, and people already are crashing them.
Joe says thats the way I role, gangsta. Lets turn the gas tank into a kagerator HAHA. You and Joe are so funny, you guys are awesome. Not only was this a good one, but the entertainment is there. Plus, I appreciated that guy in the background with his welcome enthusiasm of your rotator skills. This was a serious wreck, both vehicles totaled, and yet, no fatalities, thats amazing!
With the price of building supplies right now, that timber is probably worth more than both vehicles put together.
This truck remindse of the 1954 Caddy my parents had back in 1961. A guy going down 63rd Street in Chicago doing 70 in a 30. If you looked at the back passenger side brake light, it was hanging by the wires, but the front end after being hit from behind a second time & slammed into a nice big steel street lamp post. The front was mashed bad. The engine caught on fire. The frame was bent so bad that there wasn't anything that could be done to fix it. I miss the old girl even after all that time.
Excellent recovery job
whatever was the car with speed it will reach like that TRX Dodge Ram God bless you always everyone
Nice work
The song 🎧 “I Believe I Can Fly.” Comes to mind LMAO 😜
What a nice little wreck …..
damn that was a nice rig . that company owns some nice equipment glad it wasn't one of their nicest.
That pick up hit the big truck head on. Like you said. Co-Part next week.
Drove by your shop yesterday, was trying to bypass the 5/60 and 10 traffic
Joe needs his coffee, and nobody better be spilling it!🤣☕
No, he can do that himself. Lol
Nice you got it again 😊
very good and you make it very interesting
When towing that trailer out on the pick bar like that, that makes one REALLY long rig to navigate. Talk about making wide turns, lol!!! 😵😵 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Sure is, even longer when towing a complete tractor trailer, or one with a set of doubles.
@@PepesTowingService, I give you heavy towing guys HUGE props my friend. Class A driver, rigger, AND a crane operator all wrapped into one person. AND, you’re not picking up nice neatly packaged loads. You have to put the puzzle together just right to safely roll that whole mess down the road. Oftentimes I’m sure that’s just barely possible to do with absolute confidence the load won’t shift around on you. That’s some SERIOUS work and I personally love to watch a well executed recovery.
I myself used to work for a digging company that transported some insanely large equipment. A number of the moves were an absolute circus, lol. When one of these crazy large items would come up, like the core body of a massive earth moving truck used in activities such as mining, they would call it “The Big Show”, lol. Triple stingers and a ground force dollie at the rear. Driving that friggin thing was like driving an actual freight train. But regardless of all that weight and all those wheels rolling, the Kenworth W9 or the long nose Peterbuilt 379 both having a big ‘ole CAT under the hood would drag that train along like a champ. BUT, I had a planned route that was well able to accommodate the whole drive with minimal traffic using an army of cops to clear the path. YOU have to navigate that monster amidst the swelling sea of morons on their cellphones the whole time, lol. God bless you my friend!! 👍🏻😎👍🏻
This is a testimate to the new Ram chassis and body. The cabin, minus the cut off roof, was still intact after tearing up that semi like it did. No longer a Ram skeptic especially after seeing a 2021 GM truck taco against an accord
Cada video que beo me sorprendes con esa bestia que tenes no ase mucho que enpese a seguirte me estoy biendo todos los vídeos saludos 🎉
I like when they fly cool thanks 👍👍👍👍👍😊
Joe jumped out like he was ready to party lol
I just had a trx in mybshop this morning, for exhaust. He bought a kit for it. Its loud now. Let's see how long b4 it is in this position?
Oh word! Pepe's towing! I've seen you guys on the socal freeways. 💯 Respect for what you do. I couldn't handle it. Hopefully you don't to much brutal crashes. But if anyone is going to scoop my Harley off the freeway after I die, I hope it's you guys. 🤣🤣🤣 Morbid but funny.
He had to be moving to do that kind of damage, hate to see his insurance rate after a wreck like this.
The Pete driver was lucky the guard behind his cab worked like it should.
Pretty impressive to see that large semi up in the air!
I love making things like that fly!
@@PepesTowingService What would that Semi weigh? About 16,000 Lbs or so?
Even though that tractor isn’t nearly the weight limit that Hulk can handle it’s still amazing and doesn’t seem right that it can be rotated all the way around in the air like that.
Great idea, Joe.
Joe looks slightly dazed without his coffee!!
I'm guessing the TRX driver is at fault? - Live and hopefully learn from being an idiot... and be grateful to have survived with little or no injuries and not to have caused any injuries to the driver of the semi. Always enjoy your excellent videos.
Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota
What's up bro great video is your tow truck company hiring I have my Class B license
Yes, your night footage is awesome now!
That fridge is a phenomenal idea!
