Container Rolls Over Between Freeways

Container Rolls Over Between Freeways. This is the second rollover at this exact spot I've posted this year alone. The 710 South transition to the 405 South freeway where they merge is a hot spot, and today's episode is definitely a nail biter. 40,000+ lbs loaded in the container, that miraculously did not fully tear open. If you remember the last job we did here, the entire side ripped open and spilled out the contents down below.
We did the same setup as last time, with Hulk pushing it away while Alex controls the rear, and Hector controls the front. All 3 trucks working in unison got this up in record time, then was rigged to Hector's 50ton Vulcan wrecker to tow it to Long Beach.
Bailey's straps were used on all container pockets for the lift, with a Bailey's equalizing sling attached to the front to make sure the tractor comes up 100% even with the container the entire time. We might make it look easy, but this one was pretty difficult due to the position it was in. We have so much experience that we already know how to rig and where to put the trucks, but that doesn't make the job any less dangerous.
I used a few angles for the upright to show you guys what it looks like from every corner and even the sky, what did everyone think about the multiple cameras?

This video speaks volumes about the "character" of Pepe's Towing. There's Uncle Manny, one of the company owners, with a broom in hand sweeping up the little pieces. Super cool to see Uncle Manny in the video. Even WAY more super cool to see him like this!! As a bonus, there is the textbook Pepe's container rollover.

[@glennjukes5581]

And dragging the light pole out of the way--just whatever it takes! Bravo!

[@YoMommma510]

Bosses in the field not just in the office barking orders like Josh said. This makes me want to become a driver just so I can work for these guys. There’s nothing more motivating than seeing the owner of a business out in the field working along side the employees.

[@maxq3372]

Great to see your Uncle Manny there today... Awesome to see a 'generational' business. You don't get to see many of them nowadays. Your professional smooth operator, Uncle Manny looks like he has worked hard all his life and still gets things done. Amazing guy... Look after him...

[@jackb.nimble4146]

Gotter done in wrecker time!!!

[@seagullsbtn]

Pepe's Towing consistently demonstrates professional teamwork. That your Uncle picks up the broom and cleans up, shows everyone, no job is below anyone.

[@Fix_It_Again_Tony]

I was just thinking that I would watch a show on TV about heavy recovery but then I changed my mind. Part of what makes this channel and other content on KZbin or other platforms great is you don't have some producer and director inserting unnecessary drama. The stakes are already high enough here and I love that I can just watch some guys go to work lifting 40+ tons in some cases to help keep traffic flowing and allow people like me to just get to where I want to go. With all the camera shots and the explanations of what choices are made and why content like this is both entertaining and informative. Thanks for doing what you do!

[@me9506]

Good job Josh, Alex, Hector, and Uncle!!!

[@briananderson8733]

Pepe's Towing continues to show great teamwork and excellence in the field. Way to go guys.

PEPE Y ALEX, LA PAREJA ATÓMICA!! I LOVE THIS GUYS!

[@shirleyallen6072]

Alex & the whole Team & Family -- I now have seen 3 of your videos and so IMPRESSED with the professionalism, yet little cute nudges to each other all taken in kindness TOPPED with SAFETY and knowing your symmetry, equipment, & circus balance. The care and cleanup after these accidents is so commendable. The LE, Fire Dept, EMT's I'm sure are very thankful for Pepe's Towing Service. Thank you for all the extra comments you include when you video tape to help the subscriber/viewer understand a little bit better of what is happening!!! Take Care of yourselves and take a little time to relax:)

[@harryscott9533]

Another awesome performance 🤓🙋‍♂️👍

[@DrewMarold]

I love the "one big family" vibe you guys show with all your coworkers from the top operators to the broom pushers. I'm also pretty impressed with these drivers' ability to roll trucks uphill against the slope. Dude must have been hauling ass around that corner.

[@sportpilot]

I can't believe the wrecks I see here and on other channels. I drove truck for 17 years all 48 states and never put a scratch on one. No moving violations or accidents. I never even saw wrecks like this. Don't these people know how to drive? Sheesh... I mean, I can unnderstand equipment failures but.... wow.

[@PepesTowingService]

You are a rare breed !

[@jason62696]

Need to protect Your Class A at all cost like you do Sportpilot a lot of Class A drivers are reckless out here in Southern California

[@pvillehick67]

So many of the containers have unsecured cargo inside, and some are overweight. And the drivers are unskilled.

[@dean50133]

Another job well done, guys

[@CLARKaka]

Port haulers get paid by the load always in a hurry.

Another great video and perfect recovery. A couple of notes; at 2:58 if felt like I had been tranported to a MO tecovery channel and thanks for explaining "basket". It was interesting to see the recovery from different angles. Liked the "up close" and "personal" views the best. As always, thanks.

[@vinnypassmore5657]

Excellent work, like the overhead view, could be a good photo shot for insurance company. Thanks for sharing.

[@shawnjarman9860]

Funny you mentioned the one from before, I just watched that one earlier today, watching this one was like déjà vu😂

[@goddukee]

As the trailer was coming over,, sounds a lot like my body when I step out of bed of a morning.

[@yafois988]

I work around a lot of moving machinery and other elements the are dangerous that can in a split second harm or kill a person . Most ppl viewing don't realize the dynamics, al the things like this scenario, trip and fall thru the gaps, crush hazards, pinch points, below foot conditions, that you need to be aware of every second every step the whole time. It's literally a game of survival while working.

[@OTE_TheMissile]

I think we need to start calling Alex "Spider Man". Whole world is the guy's ladder 😁

Oh, look, the truck driver made a tiny home container.

[@jason62696]

I have a simple question are these reckless container drivers keeping you guys busy all year 😂

[@garylatture8948]

Says a lot that your uncle was cleaning up

[@petes7796]

It all comes to inexperience people driving their trucks like cars

[@slimwantedman6694]

Was trying to figure out how you were going to land this one. You had me thinking on this one.

[@dennisconnolly1]

You guy's sure know what you're doing man, good job! But how did you climb up the back of the trailer to disconnect the lines ..

[@juande8914]

Que tipo de cambio lleva ese camión 🚚 y cuantas velocidades lleva por curiosidad, un saludo 👋 He sido camionero aquí en España

[@rodneyjeffery9726]

Another rolled freightliner

[@al129]

I'm guessing that pulling the drive shaft is done off camera, or don't you bother if it's a manual transmission?

[@PepesTowingService]

I show this in so many videos. Sometimes I don’t since I’m doing something else. But it’s always removed

[@dpmendeztransportllc]

I met your tío when I worked at your Colton yard back around 2003 I think

[@davidschank956]

I can tell you what happen.! He was going to fast into the turn the load shifted and put the truck on it's side I've seen this happen so meney times.!

[@michaelvesel4717]

Do you guys have any wreckers that the tore it moves front to back or are they all stationery😊?

[@robertbennett7393]

I'm new here to your site , I heard you say your uncle there runs the iand empire division, that's were I live in the IE , I'm surprised I haven't seen one of your trucks out and about

It's because I'm on my motorcycle breaking speed limits and everything is blir

Sorry about that I don’t know what that happened. I was trying to find out if you guys have any trucks that the Tate moves front and back.

[@michaelvesel4717]

Let me try this again (lol) do you guys have any heavy wreckers that that the Tourette moves front too back not just the boom the whole thing I hope this better 😊but anyway you guys are the best keep the videos coming 😊

[@55VickyV]

⁠@@michaelvesel4717 Do you mean like Ron Pratt’s rotator? I think it moves forward and backward about five feet.

[@michaelvesel4717]

@@55VickyV yes exactly 👍

[@congoliab]

I'm curious: since you have the boom remote, why wouldn't just step into a hook and lift yourself to the top of these trailers rather than getting out a ladder? Not trying to me a smartass, genuinely wondering why not? I thought the same thing with the rescue at the bottom of the bridge where they brought the Mountain Rescue guys in. Seems like it would have been much quicker and safer to hook the stretcher basket to your boom and use it to bring everyone up altogether to get them to the helicopter.

[@paulkelly1702]

I'm guessing OSHA and/or insurance.

[@manorin]

OSHA would like to have a word, why cut corners when everything else needs to be done correctly. He has harnessed up before and let the hook do the work, but technically if you ask the manufacturer if they were designed to hold people, yes they can hold massive amounts of weight, the answer is no. It's not safe.

3rd world cheap labor thats all the trucking industry hires. They could give a hoot. About catastrophic truck wrecks, its all about cheap forein labor and wall street. Making their pennies. In truth the trucking execs cheap foreign labor will cost their ass on nuclear court settlements because lawyers know the public is very prejudice against anyone driving 18 wheelers.

Is there something wrong with these drivers ?
