It is seldom you see the a group pull together like this. Guys that just showed up to help. Everyone knew their job and everyone worked together. No other tow channel has the variety of recoveries, the professionalism and workers who are also friends. Easy to see the foundation of PEPE's success. If there was a Pulitzer for a recovery video, this is a shew in. Thanks to the whole crew and Josh for producing a great video. You guys are the best. During my second time viewing this, I thought about the "environmental" truck. So smart to repurpose a used truck than to create a new one. Decisions like this are how big companies get bigger.

I thought about doing more towing but realized it was a 24 hour a day job, you need duplicate equipment from day one in case something breaks down. Special training to do wreck recovery or just so you dont accidentally damage a car, insurance for a new business, etc. im glad i left it to my competition.

There are multiple reasons as to why I never miss or dislike watching all of Pepe's Towing videos but the absolute best without a doubt is the attitude. Every single member of your guy's crew seems to really love and enjoy what they do and the comradery, teamwork and communication is so far above and beyond literally anything you see from anyone else regardless of the type of work or any other type video put up by others. Everyone of your crew gets along so well and works together not afraid to ask about any question and the responses are always respectful and explained in detail in order to help them and the whole team in general. Its just fantastic to see because I've grown so sick and tired of all these "reality shows" where they all just fight and argue and do nothing but bs around and accomplish nothing.
