YESSS!! Fun fact: my sister made the calendars, and I ship every single one out personally. From packaging, to printing postage to taking them to the post office. Hope you like it

Something you don't see every day: a CHP manning a shovel at an accident site.

[@GarrettWorcester]

He's a baby/newbie/rookie; he'll either learn soon enough to stand down or continue to help when he can (e.g., "Teamwork makes the dream work!").

[@adrianspeeder]

Doesn't want any more paperwork to do for the rest of shift.

[@rileypup5959]

How you guys take the time to use sling protectors and pads on sharp surfaces is so key in keeping the equipment safe and serviceable. I’ve worked with many operators who never cared and abused the equipment, these are the same guys that put away equipment and tools all over the place and can’t find the right sling, chain, hook or whatever in there truck. You guys make the job look so easy and quick… nice job.

[@wideslammer]

I wonder what percentage of CHP members grab and shovel and a broom and assist with the clean-up. Also, Alex is an EXCELLENT representative of the company when he's out on these jobs.

[@buddyreed2623]

@@wideslammer I think you saw the percentage.

[@donnaackels5686]

A lot of them, they also clear the roads of debris

[@GFSwinger1693]

This driver's cavalier attitude as to the details of what she is hauling likely contributed to why she rolled it over.

[@gigantor56]

Always impressed by Alex. Nice to hear his clear instructions and he's easy going so as to not make the other new guy on rotator freak out. Thanks for the video and great content.

[@StevesVideoExperience]

Good Job of instructing your partner Alex. Well done.

[@mykelbaurle5758]

I know

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

It IS a strong team.. no ego crap, all focus on learning, skill building, and excellence in the task.

[@garethgrundy8087]

Doing a good job. It did cross my mind though that the guy under instruction seemed to demonstrate little prior knowledge of the basic physics of the job. If I put someone in the charge of equipment like Hulk with the dollars invested in truck/equipment etc I would invest dollars training the operator so I am confident they know the basics of what the vehicle is capable of. I.E if you work for any recovery company you attend a basic class in which you demonstrate theoretical understanding of the subject. That is the foundation and the more experienced operators will fill in the blanks as and when you attend jobs with them. Operating safely - asking questions, understanding the answers, taking no risks and knowing your limitations. Love your work! 😊

[@PaulyP420]

Alex you the man. Look what you have accomplished in 2 2.5 years running big flipper! Taking control of the scene and teaching others is a skill in itself! Great job!

[@Feline_Frenzy53]

Fantastic job by first-timer on the rotator Ricardo !! Alex, you are a wonderful teacher. Good recovery guys, stay safe out there.

[@petercampbell1693]

Straight road, dry pavement, my guess is Distracted Driver makes overcompensating steering maneuver, causing load shift and roll over. Excellent work as usual both in recovery and teaching. PEPE'S is The Best

My Jaak used to be a tow truck dtriver. He loved it. This was 50 years ago and he said he sure could have used that rotator feature back then. He always tells me what you will be doing, and most of the time he is right. As a nurse some of it is Greek to me. Jaak is so very impressed that you keep all your trucks and straps and chains so organized and your trucks are so clean. You and Josh are so very polite and respectful to everyone. Who is the name the inside of Alex's rt. Forearm? We love watching your videos... very well done. Thanks for many,, many evenings of enjoyment.❤Rhoda and Jaak

[@christianvillalobos8663]

That container came from the port evergreen and before you go to the out gate they give you a ticket whit the information of the container like from which ship comes from and the weight of the cargo so the driver must know the weight of the load plus the chassis weight is 6,500 lbs

[@richardsilva3915]

It's strange that neither one of them know what the weight of that trailer is. After all they were given paperwork for the trailer stating what's in it and the weight.

[@Nobluffbuff]

If you find that strange ..you haven't been a trucker in the last five years. Simply wouldn't believe how ignorant and unprofessional the drivers are now.

[@chelotico]

Excellent job Ricardo!! Pura vida!!!

[@antr7493]

6:46 The driver said it's legal weight ? So that is zero to illegal weight NICE

[@davidwright4869]

if its a manual shifter.. bets are that she did not down shift...thus going too fast into the turn. if its an automatic then maybe a tire issue, maybe a load issue, still a driver issue as her demeanor the energy she gave in my opinion and experience does not come across as an operator. lots of self doubt vibes i believe. driving as a self confidence and skill issue.

[@I_Am_Your_Problem]

Is there such a thing as an automatic shifter? How does it work?

[@tedmoss]

@@I_Am_Your_Problem My electric truck has no shifter at all, forward and reverse and park, (fixed gears).

[@Nobluffbuff]

​@@I_Am_Your_ProblemYes!! They've designed the system so that anyone with a 40 I.Q. score can now drive them down the interstate fully loaded and ready to run over your loved ones at any moment. They aren't stopping there... with plans for more safety equipment that makes drivers less responsible behind the wheel. May I suggest a few really nice places to visit across the country by car? Never been safer!

[@adrianspeeder]

You can see it's an automatic.

[@davidwright4869]

@ I’m more of an equipment operator as in tractors and suck trucks. Soo looking at the underside of a tractor of that kind is not a familiar aspect for myself. That said would you be soo kind and teach us what to look for to determine it’s an automatic. Thanks. Due to the mandate of most heavy tractors have to be automatic. I believe you the odds are in your favor. That said I do believe there is evidence in the footage to support that. Just where on the truck to look. Plz.

[@DailyDriver-xm9yq]

I’ve noticed other Pepe’s videos showing container rollovers where the driver didn’t know the weight of the container they were transporting. The weight of their load is always important to drivers of trucks hauling regular trailer loads for legal total and axle weights at scales. Is there something different about containers that the drivers don’t need to know the weight of their load?

[@adrianspeeder]

No. The non professional drivers don't care, and the shippers don't care either. It's a numbers game of loads moved vs accidents caused.

[@stillraven9415]

That's a good driver there. Getting the truck to roll left on a left turn.😅 that takes skill.

[@Knight870-LV]

Hell naw that’s funny 😂😂

[@PepesTowingService]

Turn has a gradient. That makes things not as straight forward as it may seem. Perhaps came little too fast but made the turn just barely. Was late to start straightening out so tried to correct this abruptly and here you go.
