Overloaded container rollover recovery in busy intersection

Overloaded container rollover recovery in busy intersection. This container loaded with 48,000lbs of boxes, loaded overseas, took a HARD tumble on a busy intersection in the middle of the day. The local police department called their local towers, while the owner of the truck called me directly. Thankfully the other towers were cool enough to pass over the call to me, which I handled with our 75ton rotator, Big Flipper. I was also joined by the one and only Dave in his 40ton rotator, and Hector in our 50ton wrecker.
The absolute beauty of these rotators, besides their strength, is their versatility. Being able to park in the same side of the street as the casualty, without taking any extra lanes, is a wonderful thing. This video is short because from the time we positioned our trucks, maybe 20min max had elapsed. Quick, easy and efficient as all our other jobs.

There is just nothing like having the right tool for the task at hand. In this case, the right trucks operated by the right people. "Easy" Pepe's style!!

[@KPOPIVESTEVE]

It’s nice to see daves truck on the job again. Good job guys

[@Arachnoid_of_the_underverse]

All the trucks are looking nice and clean Pepe, a credit to your proffesionalism.

[@SumterWrecker]

Mr Josh, Dave, and Hector. Awesome video as always. Thanks for sharing and stay safe

[@emilythedreamqueen]

Love watching your videos

[@sheldonbenson4510]

Good to see you again Josh ,you and your fellow workers are great at what you do, if I lived in California I would surely recommend you as you always a terrific job and Hello from Ontario Canada.

[@kylevogelgesang3825]

As a fellow Canadian we have just the same trucks up here but without the attitude.

[@gwharton68]

Makes you wonder, how many OVERWEIGHT trucks there are running around on our streets. Great video as always.

[@RustyZipper]

Most garbage trucks and dump trucks are 🤫

[@KB-gs8zi]

Hey Josh // Dave & Hector !!! Nice ""EASY "" recovery !!! Nice to see Dave out with his ""TATOR"" !!! What you gona call it ,,Dave ??? Have a good week & ""STAY SAFE ""!!!

[@wideslammer]

I know Hulk is you baby, but the black truck is a real beauty.

[@jamesgreen3417]

Got yourself a new subscriber. Found your channel after following Midwest Truck and Ron Pratt. Got to say you certainly have much nicer weather

[@ariedekker7350]

It's great that your system delivers work so quickly and neatly. Watched this episode on 4/26/2022 at 5:39 PM.

[@paulbennett8984]

I do remember your 'fire hydrant' job. Soon you will have a medal for 'Buterfly Rollovers' - Good Job Pepe

[@SteveD328]

Josh, you’re an artist with a rotator. Great video!!

[@christopherleblanc9599]

great work in tight quarters

[@donw3912]

Daves truck looks sick in the sun...excellent color combo!! It's always a joy seeing guys who truly know their craft do it with utmost efficiency:-) This is the first container that I've seen you do that the load didnt have to be counterbalanced so it would ride level after uprighting it. A great job as always guys:-)

[@handymansteve]

no counterbalance needed because it was STUFFED with those boxes... didn't look like room for a toothpick

[@obfuscatethecode5696]

Shoutout to your managers- you guys can hustle and your trucks are *BEAUTIFUL*

[@Handorgeous]

Missing the Hulk but great to see Big flipper. Great job guys.

[@jimdavidson413]

These guys were spot on

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Josh and Dave great job! Great video! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@briananderson8733]

Great job as usual. Good to see Dave's truck again. Good for you that you can work with your competitors. That is a sign of a TRUE professional. Keep up the good work.

[@nancyannirvin4507]

Dave's truck is looking gorgious!!!

[@mexicain8]

Red flames back in game 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽

[@grahammendel]

Is that the new paint job on the wrecked truck? It’s back in service? If so it looks amazing!!!!!

[@PepesTowingService]

Correct. It's been back in service since December

[@terrysadventure1529]

Man Josh you and Dave done a awesome job on this.. keep sending me them awesome video. HULK strong 💪

[@mikebruce2983]

Dave truck looks great good to see it back in business

[@MikeandSissy]

Second to none. You guys are the best and you make it look so easy.

[@jeffbailey7765]

Good job. Glad to see the black wrecker back, bet Dave is happy to have the truck back

[@atvseatexchange2176]

Nothing like that black rig with red flames. Great to see it close up.

[@millers29]

[@Terry49]

Cool Dream Team

[@rshutterbug47]

Nice JOB 👍👍👍

[@leighsayers2628]

Once again ..smooth operators ..beautiful trucks .I've been watching lots of the videos ..now my ears ring constantly of the boom noise ..wierd . From Australia.

[@kens6437]

Thoroughly enjoy watching your team at work. You guys are professional. Definitely enjoy your narration great job as always

[@johnhalstead5006]

Wow 😳 what a truck. TG I wasn’t on that street when that happened. That towing service.

[@augustharlacher5660]

Pepe It's a piece of cake when you have the right equipment! GOOD JOB!!!

[@thomasfletcher4765]

[@deernutOO]

Good recovery, and quick action

[@leegoldeneagle9003]

Very cool thanks 👍

[@7892rl]

Nicely done. Nice iron too....

[@hoss2472]

great video josh keep them coming

[@samosborne7157]

That black wrecker is sweet looking 😎

[@leegoldeneagle9003]

Great job 👍😊

[@Carnold_YT]

Great to see another video Josh. Really like how much power and control those rotators have, smooth recovery, as always. All the best from Holland!

[@vaughnbluejr5960]

I bet that driver had a wild ride down.

[@rayleyva1830]

Wow you always do beautiful work josh you are amazing 🥰🤩

[@jmWhyMe]

That was slick. $3 million in heavy iron well spent!

[@PepesTowingService]

Not even close to 3mil but it is up there haha

[@lhaa]

Many years ago,in Dallas,I was coming home from work behind two loads of what turned out to be drywall mud and roofing nails. The mud truck lost control on a dangerous turn[at freeway speed],followed by the nails. I pulled off when I saw that the trucks were not going to make it,but many slid around and ended up on 4 flats. I made my way to the embankment and climbed it to a parking lot thanks to 4 low. Watch out!!!

[@mfc4591]

Trucks looking good. Nice to see another container back upright, even if its busted up. !

[@jimp.4531]

nice quick recovery, Josh.

[@DrewMarold]

Fast & smooth. I don't think it would have gone quite so nice if those other guys had tried to pull it over with just the heavy wreckers.

[@thespeakersreview99]

amazing and so so smooth

[@buddyreed2623]

I guess the driver just would not wait for the next green light or for oncoming traffic to clear. You guys moved this rig so fast that I could tell it would be a Pepe's short video. Funny remark: Container rest in peace, more like rest in pieces. I thought the trailer tires would pop from all of the weight on them. Have good days!

[@Justruckjng7107]

You can practically drive away with it! Heheee

[@leegoldeneagle9003]

Very nice work 😊

[@sarahmoller9716]

Awesome..

[@dmac5994]

I never really thought about the benefit of being able to open a lane. very salient point.

[@charlestraylor4059]

Nice work as always

[@marksaunders2500]

Hi from uk josh, and crews👋👍 great to see daves truck back on site again the cost of having his truck down for that time is no good hope your covered against that sort of downtime tho claiming on your own policies only puts them up when other drivers get away with it 😤😤 but truck looks well again and pristine also great job here guys👌👍 you make it look so easy sometimes guys💪 teamwork makes for DreamWork 👌 what a position to be in tho 🤔 hope driver was ok and the cleanup went smooth to I bet the fuel ran for a bit in road gutters😲 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon guys👍👋

[@bailey_2_2_7_7_g]

good work guys keep it up 👍

[@johnfnielsen5068]

Great to see Dave's Truck back working again, but where is the Hulk???

[@PepesTowingService]

At my base with the other 80 trucks we have lol

[@dlbartle]

you sure get some interesting recovery call thanks for sharing

[@MaggieandMissyPugs]

The commentary is a little much. I love to see you and your guys work but I almost every time have to turn the volume down for the Mr Ego yapping, sorry 😞

[@RustyZipper]

You deserve your money back 💰

[@michaeldalzell6670]

It’s not ego, it’s true pride in what they do

[@slimwantedman6694]

Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota

[@MrTruker1]

At one time I considered drive a big hook or oversized looks challenging.

[@floydbolyard2736]

Nice to see Dave's truck again and using big flipper was a bit overkill considering the weight

[@dnixon8767]

another nice mayhem video from Josh

[@mrolddude1]

Awesome 👌

[@BRYDN_NATHAN]

. thank you i like your show. 11:43 that much weight slamming down makes alot of noise. .

[@mvblitzyo]

Smooth nice recovery

[@johsor1984]

that area is mostly industrial but its also a non truck route and you get tickets for having trucks there. lol.

[@jeffhubbard2518]

making the complicated look easy...

[@MagoffinCountyCadillac01]

Knowing this is LA I’m surprised that with that container door being open the stuff wasn’t stolen

[@revert2625]

Just goes to show can haulers are universal.

[@davidnelson6893]

That was cool

[@jerrykinnin7941]

Good job. Where's the HULK at? It's AMAZING how strong those container locks are. 2 push pins in front and 2 twist locks on the rear. And we Ziptie the safety catches.

[@litz13]

I wonder how many landscape lights actually fit in one of those containers...

[@ijv5567]

can we see interior of the truck? a tour maybe?

[@jason62696]

You said Bloomfield and Artesia if that’s the case that is a NO truck route I’m sure the driver the was ticketed.

[@Benjamin-gp3dl]

It’s an above grade “vault”. Typically for either electrical or telco/fiber.

[@herbpetee75]

Got more height to that can ,now 😮 Will it be over height on a normal chassis 😮??

[@tedmoss]

You really earn your money. Can you give the container to the homeless people?

[@johnfnielsen5068]

A few day's ago a fire rescue truck got rear-ended by a semi truck at an accident in Delaware, the company that moved the rescue truck didn't even use a catch when they put it back on it's wheels, NOT a very professional job,

[@dachief948]

Hey, does Hulk know you’re out there playing with Flipper???

[@kettlekorn471]

Good quick work on this. I'd like to know if the hit and run driver on Dave ever got caught.

[@kguardian9329]

I know where that intersection is. ☺✌

[@ernestoponce4170]

Around my area

[@frankrizzo7179]

Pepe’s was on onscene tv

[@robertwhite6309]

Hey, where are you man?

[@JorjaMaddisson]

Is the black rotator a new one? Haven’t seen it before it looks beautiful, and also has your 50 ton At the auxiliary winches put onto it

[@ijv5567]

also why dont you guys use air cushions?

[@loubowen8082]

They can send me the beat up container, here in NC.

[@normanchristin1923]

Dave's truck looks awesome! Good to see it in a video after that idiot sideswiped his truck! What ever happened to the guy who sideswiped his truck, did he get charged?

[@-ray-h]

Hey Josh...!

[@RustyZipper]

🥇🏆

[@anthonymolina5795]

Heavy duty tow companies rip Carriers a new a hole! Overcharge & take advantage!

[@PepesTowingService]

What a moronic and sweeping generalization. I would love to see your hard data collected to present this as a fact

[@MurgatroidGarfunkle]

Maybe if ya don't tip your rig over ya won't have to call the tow company. Or maybe you can clean up your own mess cheaper...have at it.

[@pvillehick67]

Was the side swipe trucker punished?

[@kentr2424]

Took the corner a wee bit fast, did he??😜😜 Slightly overweight with a 48,000 lb container, isn't he?🤔

[@marklewington6695]

Josh if the hulk is ur truck how come u sometimes r in big flipper or the odd other rotater

[@PepesTowingService]

None of that would negate the face that hulk is my truck lol. Sometimes the job is too big for hulk and I need to be in Big Flipper. And I’m never in another rotator besides these two
