Freeway Shut Down For a Loaded Tractor Trailer Rollover: Heavy Rescue

Freeway Shut Down For a Loaded Tractor Trailer Rollover: Heavy Rescue. Watch us upright this rolled over trailer while LOADED! Watch in this week's CRAZY episode as we upright a fully loaded tractor trailer in record time. For every 10 containers, we maybe get 1 trailer. As you know if you're a regular subscriber, we do container rollovers allllll the time, it's what this channel is known for. But trailers can present a host of different problems and unique characteristics that make them so much more challenging.
For starters, a steel container is insanely strong and can take a beating. Trailers can have soft walls and are more prone to ripping and tearing. In this case, the trailer ripped up front and you can see the buckles from the pressure as I do the initial walk around. That's why Alex and Dave decided to play it smart and use multiple straps with angle irons to have as much surface tension during the upright.
Their plan worked phenomenal as you can see in the video. Once it started coming up, there is no going back. You have to finish through otherwise you risk the load bursting out the wall. While rigged, they were able to lift up and slide the trailer back so it would land flush with the freeway. This is also where the equalizing sling comes in handy, so everything is constantly in sync.

[@DrewMarold]

The rotators are great, but this really shows the high levels of knowledge, training, and experience your crews have. The best equipment in the world does you no good if you don't know how to operate it. Fantastic job by everyone.

[@PepesTowingService]

Could not agree more, there are lots of other companies in my areas with similar equipment, yet we still get tons of jobs simply because they can't

[@hirisk761]

if the driver thinks the wrecker bill is expensive, wait till the CHP get done with him

[@flyerbob124]

Used a rotator in Florida to lift a load. It was $750 an hour. Bet it’s twice that inLA😱

[@hirisk761]

@@flyerbob124 and they had to use 2 rotators to pick up this one!

[@bgmckddy]

"Hey Dave, You got some experience doing this?" That was *Pepe's Perfection* right there!! AWESOME video!! Kudos to you Josh, Alex showed up with Hulk (your rotator) and you came with the heavy tow truck. You never once took Hulk back and gave Alex the wrecker. Everyone did their job in the truck they came with. An *EXCELLENT* team leader does this!!!! *BOOM* goes the dynamite!! Pepe's perfection right there and Joe to the rescue with the tractor to finish it off!! LOVE IT!!!! Take care and be safe you all!!

[@PepesTowingService]

Funny thing is Alex beat me to the shop on this since we got called in early. By the time I showed up Hulk and Flipper were gone lol so I jumped in Joe's truck and let the guys handle their thing. They had it rigged and the game plan set before I got there so they made it very easy for me to film.

[@frankmartin8471]

Experienced professionals with no horseplay and no theatrical drama. Just good skills at doing the proper riigging work to do it right the first time. You guys make difficult jobs look easy.

[@PepesTowingService]

Never any extra drama or theatrics here, thank you sir!

[@andrewdavidson7656]

You guys had complete control of the truck and trailer throughout the entire uprighting process.

[@PepesTowingService]

That's the beauty of having 3 trucks to a heavy load like this, we leave no room for error.

[@michellehoffman901]

😳Really gives you a different perspective. Maybe when traffic builds up behind an accident more people will think about what goes into clearing an accident rather than how it is inconveniencing THEIR day👍

[@mattharris1995]

Great upright by all. Definitely impressed with Dave's knowledge and skills.

[@PepesTowingService]

Agree, feels GREAT to have a team that's able to handle tasks like these on their own.

[@williamkay6916]

Now this type of recovery shows an example of why when police agencies have heavy towing services on a rotation list for calls, one requirement is said company have a rotator as one of their available-to-respond units. This space needed such.

[@PepesTowingService]

That is 100% spot on. Imagine if it was a free for all every single time, the chaos that would happen?

[@KNJensen]

The way that thing just slid in price at the end - very smooth! You guys are boss level pros!

[@danspak1671]

THE SIGN OF EXCELLENCE!!!PEPE"S TOWING!!! THEY NEED TO MAKE A MOVIE ABOUT YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Josh what a hard working crew! You guys always make it look easy! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@MikeandSissy]

Love how you explain how the lift is going to go. Fantastic lift Josh !!!!

[@PepesTowingService]

Thank you, I treat each video like it's my audiences' first one so everyone can follow along with me without needing to know years of towing

[@MikeandSissy]

And it shows. I always feel like I know you just from your videos. Do you ever do ride alongs or does your insurance prohibit it?

[@ariedekker7350]

You quickly think this is so normal, but this is so special! So impressive.

[@carolinafrog4365]

you guys!!! frickin awesome!!!!! "too fast for conditions" plus a lil "wiggle n jiggle" on the curve... glad the driver survived!

[@Mr.XYZ6775]

Another great job accomplished. What an amazing flip. There was daylight so we can see. 🚛👍

[@PepesTowingService]

Thank you!

[@-ray-h]

Awesome video…!!!! Josh, you remind me of your Dad when I first started watching your videos a couple of years ago… This one you’re walking around double checking everything before the upright…! Now that’s what I call teamwork and awesome rigging to you and your crew…! Nice color truck green too btw… Nice job guys…!!!👍

[@PepesTowingService]

Good to hear, although I'm definitely not as loud as my dad 😂

[@SumterWrecker]

Mr Josh You and your crew make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing and stay safe

[@PepesTowingService]

Thank you sir, means a lot coming from you since you know first hand how difficult it can actually be.

[@vaughnbluejr5960]

Great job! I don't think the cop understood what was going to happen. It's best to leave the expertise to those who know what they're doing & y'all know how to do it!

[@JasonEsquivel]

Look at you coming in with a tow. 🤣 This was a fabulous upright. Way to go team!

[@PepesTowingService]

Rare sight ☠️😂😂

[@sandraedwards9943]

Love that green color of that semi.

[@wideslammer]

WOW -- that was a textbook recovery. I suppose the CHP wanted to halt the upright so they could stop traffic on the freeway below in case something went over the wall. I guess they haven't seen Pepe's do enough recoveries to know that there was no chance of that happening. (Of course, I know they want to stick with normal protocol.) It was a nice touch to locate a green ratchet strap to match the color of the tractor. It's only the best with Pepe's.

[@carrillosinglecab2027]
