That's insane bc they take lots of force to rip that off.ive seen rigs still connected and hanging off a bridge.mybeces parents used to drive team..dad was done driving the one day and m took over.she was sick and had bad cold and was coughing which lead her to crash real bad too and ended up hanging off side of a bridge.faf got banged up and got broken ribs bc he was in sleeper at the time
Hard to believe that Semi driver wasn't a fatal, sure hope she wasn't badly hurt and gets a full recovery. Really looked like a mess but you sure figured it out quick and you boys got 'er done!! Great work to the Pep's crew and another great video. Thanks!!😊
Thank you! And right? I knew it wasn't a fatal because it didn't go to evidence and the coroner was not there but man, I would have bet all my money it was just by how the cab looked.
Josh I'm sure you know this, the slider pins on that chassis if it's an air slider just spin onto the 30/30 brake can and are snugged with a jam nut. The outfit I run for has the Tri-axle version. Outside my Dump chassis. My favorite chassis. Crazy that it sheered the 5th wheel off that Freightliner. That chassis is only 30 ft long closed. I got rear-ended in my truck back last fall I stopped for traffic 48mph to 0 in 4 sec. 2 sec. Later I got tagged to 2 mph. Every one was fine. No damage to my truck or chassis. The SUV was totalled.so I was shocked that 5thwheel Sheered off.
I can't believe that they both lived. That's some kind of miracle. I'm always so impressed with how you guys clean up accident. That's a true talent, and a scary job. I hate that they don't stop traffic. It puts everyone in danger. From the fire departments to the EMS who work the scene, to you guy taking care ofthe vehicles. Great job.
I’ve seen several where police force fire trucks and cones keeping first responders in a safer area to clear the way for traffic to drive through. I felt angry seeing it because it can save a first responder’s life.
Big props to Mercedes and Freightliner engineers for not saving money on safety when designing the cab… I’ve seen a lot of nasty accidents with Cascadia trucks but drivers managed to walk away with only bruises and scratches… Freightliner is part of MB Daimler trucks group
Josh I've been watching your video's for about 2 weeks now. There are 2 things that impress me most about you sir. Your knowledge of recovering these vehicles and more importantly your work ethics. I'm 75 and watching younger generations standing waiting for others to do what they could and should do baffles me. You are always checking and doing everything, you remind me of how I was when I was working or doing nearly anything. As always thanks for the great content, stay safe guys.
Thanks for the compliment! While I do formulate these plans on the fly, I also have a great and receptive team to work with that can follow my lead and help get this stuff done super quick
@@PepesTowingService This team of guys knows what the other is thinking before they say it. Sympatico. I donknow this man's history but l really really like him. Stressful job that easily explains and has fun doing it. Even those stinky jobs!! lol
Mind blown that this didnt result in a fatal. Especially after watching the short clip of the dash cam. I hope that tractor driver makes a full recovery. Great work by you and your team!
2 mins from my home. Trip to Home Depot was canceled because of that. Was brutal for sure, watching CHP and the Fire Dept fly down DB Blvd was crazy, it was like a "calling all cars" situation. Good work as always guys, that section of fwy is vital, you guys were quick considering the severity.
Awesome video Josh !!! Very quick recovery of those wrecked trucks . Those cabs on both trucks definitely looked like a double fatality accident . Both those drivers were very lucky not to get severely injured . The wrecked flatbed tow trucks looks to be a Hino cab /chassis and it looked like the cab held up to that impact
Iam 64 yrs old I’ve operated a wheel lift and flat beds. I have never ever seen a better crew than this you guys are awesome And amazing ! Thank you for what you do God Bless
As a senior in high school i worked on weekends doing footers or foundations for new home construction and one morning for no reason i hid and didn’t answer the door when the boss came to pick me up and on his way to the job site he rear ended a semi and the trenching machine on the back of his truck came forward and completely crushed the passenger side of his truck cab. I would’ve been dead no doubt about it. What told me to hide and not go to work that morning when i never missed work?🙏🏿
@@DiabloBlanquecino I have had divine internvention I think, but a completely different scenario. Back when I was a dumb teenager in 2006 I got a DUI and I had EASY to find drugs (pills) in my pocket and I was search twice with pockets pulled out and it was never found. I don't know how that was even possible. I know it's not even close to the same thing because I was dumb back then but still.
Been watching for a couple years. Thank you for letting us into your world. As several permanent disabilities, hinderes my ability to work for my family owned towing operation. Keep up the great job & be safe out there.
Wow. I just saw the crash on instagram or TikTok this morning and here I am watching your video. Super surprised everyone walked away. God bless and be safe out there!
I am so glad I retired from truck in 3 1/2 years ago I did it for 13 years all over the United States no speeding tickets no accidents I could still be driving but I get off the road because of all the road rage
I thank you for trucking. I would never be able to do it because of IDIOTS R US my husband hauled metal (non 18 wheeler for a metal fabricator) to sites like movie theater rebuilding and construction sites. I couldn't believe the crazy stupid things I saw. I will say I am hallelujah glad when trucks started. Installing video cameras. Days of lying and blaming truckers for wrecks they didn't cause are over!!!!
Very nice video, and first time viewer here. It is truly amazing how the semi-tractor driver was not killed, but she surely was folded up in that cab like a dang pretzel. How she didn't get her back broken when the tow truck slammed into the rear of the tractor is beyond me. Judging by how wrecked it looks, the force of the impact alone should have been fatal, but I'm just as glad there were no fatalities here. Definitely a miraculous event.
It's been a long time since the last video i saw. You all are amazing, and i am so proud of the work you do. I'm happy there was no fatality even tho I'm shocked seeing that cab. A miracle!
''Worst wreck I've seen so far'' ...... Week ain't over yet. We need you in Baltimore Sir. Now THAT was a BIG WRECK !! Prayers for all those who lost their lives. They were here working making America great and lost their lives. RIP 🙏
I've seen many of your videos and watched how you go about rigging the overturned trucks. Just been watching that huge crane getting in position to lift a piece of that bridge that fell. Looked like they were getting ready to hoist up a guy in a bucket to rig it. You guys who do this type of work are amazing!!
I drove by this accident and thought for sure it was fatal. I’m so glad I found your channel and even happier to find this accident that left me wondering about the victims. So glad everyone made it out alive, I finally have closure, it was one of the worst accidents I have ever seen as well.
I love how professional everyone is. You have to be otherwise you aren't in business long. I've known for many years that there is more to towing than just hook a line up and pull but the more I learn the more I see how one has to have knowledge thru experience and knows how to work well with others. You all did a commendable job. Stand proud man!
It's truly amazing that both survived! I am very impressed with your professionalism in handling the situation. From the fire department, EMS to the vehicle care team, everyone did an extraordinary job. However, not stopping traffic is very dangerous. Thank you all for everything! ❤
This is new, I've never seen a 5th wheel ripped off. Great work, some real technical stuff you do but still maintain safety by telling people to stand clear when you are lifting. Thanks Josh for a great video, good content.
I hate that part of the 60. Especially bad right now with the 71 under major construction. The back-up is so bad and so many trucks stopped in the lane. Gotta pay attention to the traffic up ahead and not be too close. Especially when loaded. I realize it is easier said than done. Glad all the drivers are ok. A testment to how well modern trucks are made, and maybe a bit of divine intervention. The amount of force it takes to shear off the fifth wheel slider from the track is a lot. Sends chills down the ole spine. Good job, as always.
It's worse as you take the freeway to and from Ontario. They re-did the lines for the lanes and it's so confusing in daylight because you can't tell which lane is which lol
Whoa that’s wild. Poor drivers. You know they’ve had a rough day. Hope they all get checked out. Even if they feel fine they really should go get assessed.
You have a good crew that work with you. It’s cool you thank and appreciate your guys. You and your Dad /uncle are very humble. It makes Pepe’s a great place to work
I saw a video on Facebook that showed this wreck happening. I think someone's dashcam videoed it, but it shows that truck crash into the back of the other one. It was on a Facebook page called "That'll buff out".
That looked like a double fatal at first glance. The gal in the tractor got crazy luycky and i hope there aren't any permanent injuries. As for the worst mess on the channel...it is the most mangled i have seen on it for sure. I do appreciate you cutting in in the middle at home I am assuming explaining what happened to the gal driving the tractor. Seeing the fifth wheel plate still attached to the trailer chassis is crazy when you think about seeing rigs dangling over bridges and the like being held up mainly by the king pin. A great video as always Josh🙂
My sister drives a semi 29 yrs my prayers are always with her, and these guys r awesome and amazing how they get n there and get it done very safely my prayers to the tow truck driver all of them
❤I like the way he hook-up everything and he explained everything and the other tow truck driver n the wreck wasn't hurt my prayers to everyone for a full recovery recovery
I am happy you channel is growing ❤the channel and you guys you are awesome Like you saying peace out and be safe out there . I am 67 old woman but love your video's
Pepe, you did a great job bro. Love watching you work on the real freaky stuff. I love that you’re a great human and a humble guy. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Peace out !!!!
Man I worked for Sanders for 4 years and seeing that truck brings back alot of cool memories. Thanks for the great content and keep up the good work, simply outstanding. Be safe out there sir
been some years since subscribing.. I am on the other side of the country in a quiet state. I am convinced on a national scale, your one company does more of this work in a week than any other.. for many weeks and years on end. Quite phenomenal.
Great to see Jeffery again and what can I say about Hulk just awesome. Great job guys and glad to hear both drivers are fine. Let's hope for a speedy recovery.
Love watching these recovery operations, even better when no serious injuries. You have an awesome tow rig, & sick skills! Looks as though each one of these scenes is a very unique puzzle.👋✌
Honestly, 9 times out of 10 you want to plumb air as close to the compressor as possible. I genuinely fell in love with towing trucks with the older Cummins blocks, because Cummins used to put an R134 fitting (i.e. the same connector that's used on the air conditioning system) on the metal compressor output line. There's a neat little tool (which comes in a full set, I can toss you the link if you want... super useful, paid for itself multiple times within my first week of having it) which can utilize that fitting and a quick connect to get air into the system of the truck you're towing real friggen quick. Like, full air hookup in less than 5 minutes quick. Some trucks the play is to disconnect the compressor output line and hook an adapter directly to it, some trucks you have to go to the air dryer and force the system to pressurize in reverse, and some trucks I've had to pull drain valves off of tanks and run air directly into one of the tanks. Many many ways to get air into the system... the bigger challenge is certain types of drivelines that refuse to play ball when you go to pull them. To this day, I well and truly *hate* pressed-in drivelines
I love your videos. Much engineering goes into dealing with such a wide variety of wrecks. Beautiful, expensive, well maintained equipment. You and your employees do a great job. Now for the complaint, I am a 78 year old Vietnam Combat Veteran. I avoided body piercings by ducking at the correct time. I don't understand why people drill holes in their ears, noses and where ever else. Pull the rings out of your ears and restore them before you are old and your ear lobes are touching your shoulders. Thanks for your video work.
Seeing the way that far too many people drive it's amazing there aren't more wrecks like this. Well done Pepe's team! Glad the drivers are able to tell this story!!
This is amazing. He's talking about weight distribution & angles just like a math professor in grad school. Never underestimate the abilities of people just because of their job! Be safe buddy. Nice work.
Another speedy and first class job, handled professionally as always! I'm totally shocked your channel hasn't hit 500,000 subscribers...yet. Toss my hat in as another subscriber, well get there a bit sooner now. LOL Best damn crew on the planet, you guys deserve all the credit!!!
As a crane operator, I've been to rigging class, just so I know enough to say something if the real riggers mess up... This always amazes me how you guys plan everything out and get things to move right where you want them, even while directing guys like me!
I just want to say that those guys peeps tow trucking company out there in Los Angeles California. You guys are doing one hell of a job you guys making sure that everybody else gets a toe and making sure you guys have everything else that you guys have going on. I’m glad that you guys got brand new truck so glad that you guys got good friend to come also help you out and get you to do good and bad situation’s at least you guys are doing your best so keep up the good work maybe one day I’ll come out the Los Angeles and visit you guys one day. I am watching you show right now so you guys take care God bless.
in my mind as a former truck driver, it's never overkill to do the job right the first time in a safe manner. kudos to all on the crews who did the recovery. I hope this doesn't dissuade either driver from continuing in their profession.
Wow---Great quick overview of tasks at hand, coordinating with the team and Sanders the other tow company and worked flawlessly. You truly are amazing with your overviews, rigging and commentary which really makes your channel very easy to follow and enjoy, not because of the disastrous scenes you have to recover and clean up, but because of your professionalism, respect of others complimenting and encouraging each step of the recovery. What I dont know is your name - I thought it was Alex when I first starting watching your channel, but perhaps it's Jeff or Josh? Anyway GREAT JOB!!
Everything u guys do is such a professional all the time. CONGRATULATIONS HEROS fantastic job well done on everything you all do. Keep your head up tall.
Ugh as a first responder going on 19 years inner city next to 2 major highways I’ve seen a lot of horrific stuff. I forget sometimes that you guys get the aftermath, but on our blue tarp calls (too many mangled bodies in the car so we put a blue tarp over it, y’all get it on the wrecker then we follow you to the police impound where we meet the coroner, funeral director, and we spend however long it takes matching parts to people and put the remains in double sealed body bags for forensic processing at the coroners office. After the parts are released to the funeral home then their loved ones can prepare for a funeral. After the car is as empty as we can get it we have to decon with water, tons of bleach then cover the runoff into the ground. It’s awful. One of my worst was a drunk driver going the wrong way on the highway blacked out (he had his lights off) hit a mini van with a whole family plus mom who was 34 weeks pregnant passing through with their 5 kids on the way to FL to take their kids to Disney. That whole ordeal took 9 hours from on scene time to wrapping up at the impound lot. It’s heart crushing, makes you kind of hard, numb…and the driver died to so no answers or justice for the family. Thank you for what you guys do helping us out. Sadly you are right in the middle of it. 😔 Prayers for all involved in this one. 💔
Its amazing both drivers are alive. Prayers for the lady, hoping she heals well.
The 5 wheel ripped off like that is mind blowing.
That's insane bc they take lots of force to rip that off.ive seen rigs still connected and hanging off a bridge.mybeces parents used to drive team..dad was done driving the one day and m took over.she was sick and had bad cold and was coughing which lead her to crash real bad too and ended up hanging off side of a bridge.faf got banged up and got broken ribs bc he was in sleeper at the time
The accident caused a lot of damage!

Love watching these recovery operations, even better when no serious injuries. You have an awesome tow rig, & sick skills! Looks as though each one of these scenes is a very unique puzzle.👋✌
That was amazing! You are truly a master of your craft. Job well done.
Josh you do fantastic work and I wanted to mention that God was with these people!! 🙏🙏
Honestly, 9 times out of 10 you want to plumb air as close to the compressor as possible. I genuinely fell in love with towing trucks with the older Cummins blocks, because Cummins used to put an R134 fitting (i.e. the same connector that's used on the air conditioning system) on the metal compressor output line. There's a neat little tool (which comes in a full set, I can toss you the link if you want... super useful, paid for itself multiple times within my first week of having it) which can utilize that fitting and a quick connect to get air into the system of the truck you're towing real friggen quick. Like, full air hookup in less than 5 minutes quick. Some trucks the play is to disconnect the compressor output line and hook an adapter directly to it, some trucks you have to go to the air dryer and force the system to pressurize in reverse, and some trucks I've had to pull drain valves off of tanks and run air directly into one of the tanks. Many many ways to get air into the system... the bigger challenge is certain types of drivelines that refuse to play ball when you go to pull them. To this day, I well and truly *hate* pressed-in drivelines
I love your videos. Much engineering goes into dealing with such a wide variety of wrecks.
Beautiful, expensive, well maintained equipment. You and your employees do a great job.
Now for the complaint, I am a 78 year old Vietnam Combat Veteran. I avoided body piercings by ducking at the correct time. I don't understand why people drill holes in their ears, noses and where ever else. Pull the rings out of your ears and restore them before you are old and your ear lobes are touching your shoulders. Thanks for your video work.
Seeing the way that far too many people drive it's amazing there aren't more wrecks like this. Well done Pepe's team! Glad the drivers are able to tell this story!!
You guys are an AWESOME crew , professionally orquestrated on your executes, stay safe out there, God bless you guys. 🙏
Nothing short of a miracle that driver made it!! And i just saw the video of the wreck and holy cow that looked nasty.
This is amazing. He's talking about weight distribution & angles just like a math professor in grad school. Never underestimate the abilities of people just because of their job! Be safe buddy. Nice work.
Fantastic job. May God bless all those involved in this horrific accident. God bless you at pope's towing and your incredible work. ❤❤
Prayers to the lady for a speedy and full recovery. God bless all involved.
I can't imagine the amount of stuff you have to know to do this work. It's amazing to watch.
It's never the same. Drove a tow truck for 15 years .retired. ❤ Be safe 🙏
You guys untangled that pretty fast. Good work by both teams. When Pepe's shows up CHP knows they'll have an open road pretty quick.
You certainly have exceptional talent for your career in towing. Awesome job.
You should get one of those chest belt things and a go pro so you can still record hands free! Nice job! Love your videos
You and your team do fantastic work! Stay safe out there guys! 💪
Another speedy and first class job, handled professionally as always!
I'm totally shocked your channel hasn't hit 500,000 subscribers...yet.
Toss my hat in as another subscriber, well get there a bit sooner now. LOL
Best damn crew on the planet, you guys deserve all the credit!!!
As a crane operator, I've been to rigging class, just so I know enough to say something if the real riggers mess up... This always amazes me how you guys plan everything out and get things to move right where you want them, even while directing guys like me!
Your knowledge and skills makes these jobs look simple - when it is far ftom it. Nice job, gents!
That fifth wheel never should’ve failed like that. How fast was the tow truck going 😮
California freeways fast
Prayers going 🙏🏽 out to both drivers involved y'all did an amazing recovery great job 👍🏿
Great job for your entire team. Nice to see how everyone knew what they had to do and go it done. No one bossing anyone else around.
Fantastic work as always guys, and a nice intermission Josh (27:15)👌🏻
I just want to say that those guys peeps tow trucking company out there in Los Angeles California. You guys are doing one hell of a job you guys making sure that everybody else gets a toe and making sure you guys have everything else that you guys have going on. I’m glad that you guys got brand new truck so glad that you guys got good friend to come also help you out and get you to do good and bad situation’s at least you guys are doing your best so keep up the good work maybe one day I’ll come out the Los Angeles and visit you guys one day. I am watching you show right now so you guys take care God bless.
in my mind as a former truck driver, it's never overkill to do the job right the first time in a safe manner. kudos to all on the crews who did the recovery. I hope this doesn't dissuade either driver from continuing in their profession.
Love your videos. You guys definitely know what you’re doing. Pretty amazing.
Great team work and excellent how you perform in your work!
Wow---Great quick overview of tasks at hand, coordinating with the team and Sanders the other tow company and worked flawlessly. You truly are amazing with your overviews, rigging and commentary which really makes your channel very easy to follow and enjoy, not because of the disastrous scenes you have to recover and clean up, but because of your professionalism, respect of others complimenting and encouraging each step of the recovery. What I dont know is your name - I thought it was Alex when I first starting watching your channel, but perhaps it's Jeff or Josh? Anyway GREAT JOB!!
Everything u guys do is such a professional all the time. CONGRATULATIONS HEROS fantastic job well done on everything you all do. Keep your head up tall.
Ugh as a first responder going on 19 years inner city next to 2 major highways I’ve seen a lot of horrific stuff. I forget sometimes that you guys get the aftermath, but on our blue tarp calls (too many mangled bodies in the car so we put a blue tarp over it, y’all get it on the wrecker then we follow you to the police impound where we meet the coroner, funeral director, and we spend however long it takes matching parts to people and put the remains in double sealed body bags for forensic processing at the coroners office. After the parts are released to the funeral home then their loved ones can prepare for a funeral.
After the car is as empty as we can get it we have to decon with water, tons of bleach then cover the runoff into the ground. It’s awful. One of my worst was a drunk driver going the wrong way on the highway blacked out (he had his lights off) hit a mini van with a whole family plus mom who was 34 weeks pregnant passing through with their 5 kids on the way to FL to take their kids to Disney. That whole ordeal took 9 hours from on scene time to wrapping up at the impound lot. It’s heart crushing, makes you kind of hard, numb…and the driver died to so no answers or justice for the family.
Thank you for what you guys do helping us out. Sadly you are right in the middle of it. 😔
Prayers for all involved in this one. 💔
