Rotator recovery for an overturned heavy container and yard goat

Rotator recovery for an overturned heavy container and yard goat
Now here is something you don't see everyday! A yard goat (or yard hostler) are yard tractors used to quickly move containers and trailers within big yards. Not sure how this one happened, but the container ended up on its side with the yard goat in full launch mode to the moon.
Dave and I use Hulk and Big Flipper for this mess. The upright was technical and came over easy, but the 60,000lb load of meat inside the container shifted which meant we couldn't leave it as is. Counter leaning did not work, and after we opened the doors it was obvious why. The entire load was hand stacked boxes (70-90lbs each) of meat!
The company had to bring in another container and do the transfer box by box, while the rotators held the container so it would be safe for offload.

The drone shots and soundtrack are way cool but don't forget about us wanting you on the ground telling us what is going on as well. A good mix will work well. Dominic will get the hang of it. You gotta' bust his chops some, but he'll improve. There are a lot of details to drone work that people don't think of. Thanks for the upload. Looks like that container will be going to the scrap yard.

[@bgmckddy]

Don't be too hard on Dominic. He's learning and he did get some really nice shots! That was a crazy one for sure!!

[@haroldsmith45302]

Good video. Thank you for helping the cargo owner recover the perishable beef product. Aside from the huge financial cost, the product was created at the cost of many bovine lives. They should not be wasted.

[@DeenChuck]

It's your commentary as you work that makes this channel so interesting to me.

[@KB-gs8zi]

Hey Josh // Dave & Dominic !! Great job !! Dominic is still in training with the "DRONE" so it's easy to miss the battery issue !! Have a good week & Thanks again for videoing & Sharing with ALL the viewers !!

[@mikeseguin6443]

Nice gentle flip.Respect buddy.🇨🇦🇺🇸👍

[@silentepsilon888]

depending on the type of meat in that container, this was easily a $300k to possibly even a million dollar or more load .. and even worse, with the amount of time this container was open during the load transfer and the fact that it was rolled, this meat will probably be a salvage load and get labeled unsafe for consumption and destroyed.

[@steelfist65]

The drone footage and the editing are on point! What an amazing job!

[@PepesTowingService]

Thanks, really took my time with this one. People aren't liking the music, but there's a reason for it (drone control has no microphone lol), so I had to use music and make it fit the scenes.

It is hard to soar with Eagles when you work with a bunch of Turkey's. Of course that was when we had walk 10 miles up hill both ways. Ok so the Monday sarcasm may have been a bit much. 😂😂 The shots were really good Dominic will catch it. Everything will come together. Great work Josh, you guy's really do a fantastic job and are second to no one.

[@davidchapin8297]

Beautiful drone work even if he did miss the rollover. I do miss your commentary explaining what you are doing though.

[@PepesTowingService]

The music is for a reason. The DJI smart controller has no microphone, so it does not pick up ground audio. Instead of tons of silence I have to use music until I can get a wireless USB C mic

[@davidchapin8297]

@@PepesTowingService I guess I did not really make my point correctly. I love the drone shots and music. I have no issue with it. What I was trying to say is that I miss the GoPo shots where you are explaining what you are doing and why. If you are working on something to be able to have audio from you during the drone shots that would be fantastic. Thanks for all you do to bring us great quality videos.

[@dougtooo]

At least we got to see the drone along with the trailer being uprighted.

I've got so intrigued with your video's that I've watched all there is in the 50 some available. Is there more somewhere else? Love your video's, I could watch for hours, and I do.

[@jastuff3689]

Really like your channel. The drone is a great addition. The purpose of the drone or any camera is to get the best view and show the action. Sometimes there is too much movement of the drone like it's the purpose instead of the shot. Hovering over a good view and letting the action on the ground tell the story would make a better presentation. Move the drone when it gives a better angle or perspective etc. not constant movement of the drone. I also miss your commentary along the way. You are one of the reasons why this channel is a really good one.

[@H8ucla]

Great video and shots even without explanation on the ground, those Pete's....beautiful!!!

[@funkypaul2822]

Dominic needs to learn! I'll correct myself: Dominic needs space and time to be able to learn! Give him a few more tows and he'll be fine. Because this is a brand new thing. And believe me, it is awesome when you see those images. You get a 3D view never seen before. It gives a brand new perspective on " towing"! And adding some drama to the images with music! Great! Already waiting for the next one! ( and better one "great video" a week than two "video's" a week! )

[@PepesTowingService]

Thank you, I agree! Since my videos are monetized, I could make double the money with two videos per week. But that's not my goal, I'd rather one video that's carefully edited over two fast ones with no effort.

Cool flip. Too bad there isn't a way to dub the trucks working on to the drone shots instead of the many random, royalty free YT music songs. But that's just my opinion. I go to sleep to the sound of diesel gens.... music to my ears. Great video none-the-less.

He did good, managed to grab some nice cinematic shots

[@-ray-h]

@@PepesTowingService We love your channel Josh and adding Dom to the mix just takes your channel to the next level of professionalism imo. I know the folks like you narrating through the video but since you've added Dom, it's understandable that you needed to change up the format a bit. I like the narration in the beginning and at the end to sum thing up. I also like some of the music where I found myself jamming to the tunes... And it's understandable that since your getting so busy, we only get to see your videos once a week... We'd like to see the 2 we've seen but you have to do what you have to do... When you're good... (And You guys are) everyone wants you...! A good Thing...! Keep up the great work...!

[@robhartshorn6823]

Nice job. Wondered if you guys could have released the container from the trailer and set the container on the ground. Then they could have used a forklift ramp at the back of container and pallets to transfer load to new trailer. I dont know if they have a mobile loading dock there? If so would have been even faster to load the new trailer. Im just thinking of it being a perishable load and needing to get it into refrigeration as fast as possible.

[@demonknight7965]

audio was really muffled. Thanks for captions. Don't worry bout drone footage. Shit happens. Atleast it's still flying

[@philsmidwestclassiccars150]

Wow, such TLC. I was waiting for the "Wham-o" Didn't happen. Actually I seen something similar to this. It was at a printing company as a guy with rolls of paper decided to do a speed bump at 40 mph & he had an older storage trailer that he was pulling around for a day. It finally had enough of the roll paper & decided to break in half in the parking lot. What a mess. The local Community College had a College Course for students to learn the ins &^ outs of "Wrecking & Recovery". This incident provided them the opportunity for real time,, hands on experience with trained & experience wrecker & recovery teams.

[@donweden7199]

All right...bbq brisket for the crew. Let OS&D bill the insurance co. Good times!

[@edwinschlee8374]

Looks like tge driver got in a hurry and cut to sharp and the load shifted and over it went! Good job setting it back up!

[@kenlew4945]

I heard the term of Mule Shifter. I had asked to be Mule Shifter while I was at UPS many years ago. I didn't have a CDL partly because I was on private property. I had the concept of how to back trailers into different loading doors. I just couldn't get the backing up into the different doors constantly.

[@messianichebrewshawnkawcak1550]

You can tell the load damaged the wall of the container. You are probably glad you didn’t have to do the hand bombing with your own crew. Glad you were in a safe area, instead of the freeway, while they unloaded,.

[@zeke7237]

Did you have to license Hulk for Hulk?

damn.. that may be $600k worth of meat right there. good job. hope they saved the brisket too

As a part 107 uav pilot (fully licensed) Dominick should obtain his license if he does not have it already. FAA has ruled all flights that record for KZbin channels are commercial and must be flown under. Part 107.

[@jimmccabe801]

Great video drone or no drone.

[@jerrykinnin7941]

You all make it look so easy. Was the left front pin in? The last time I seen a spotter truck looking like that. He had a standard 40 ft chassis with a loaded 20ft ISO tank only on the back 2 pins. Yep. The chassis folded into. They were moving it from A track to B track. That rail has a nice setup. And it's concrete so my truck stays cleaner.

[@grahamcockings4280]

Great videos love watching your recoveries. Is there any way time allowing that you can run through the rigging you use on each job.

I'm surprised that Hazmat wasn't needed...that Goat driver had to have left toxic in his shorts.

[@lawrencemartin7162]

Great video as always. Did you switch the schedule around? I noticed you don't post on Thursdays anymore.

[@PepesTowingService]

It's been so busy at work, I had to stop the twice a week uploads. Since I do 100% of the editing myself and take my time, it was impossible to do two quality uploads a week. I would have to sacrifice quality to pump them out at that rate, and one of my last Thursday videos it was obvious (the color was all jacked up). So I'd rather focus on one quality video per week instead of two rushed ones.

[@bethfrench9064]

Josh, I really missed your commentary during that long stretch of music!!

From the tire tracks, it looks like homie was trying to drift the tractor but forgot he had a container (an expensive refrigerated one at that) and chassis along for the ride.

[@dennisrogers8107]

60,000 lbs wasn't leaving that yard by road. Not legally anyway without a shitload of permit. That container was headed for a rail car.

[@kelleyunofficial3269]

While the drone video captures some great pictures, I miss the continuity of the gopro. In this episode it seemed like trucks were stopped and then were backing up. Perhaps you could show the rigging from your hard hat camers. Otherwise I have liked your videos very much and when I remember I hit the like button. And yes I subscribe.

[@tollivermatt]

Only thing I would of did differently was to use recovery straps on the side of the trailer to distribute the load more because it looks like the endless loops dented the shit out of the trailer and I know some customers throw a fit

[@PepesTowingService]

Recovery straps on a CONTAINER? are you serious? Did you not see the massive bulging caused by the flip?

[@timteevin4517]

Tsk, tsk. That's probably what that goat drivers boss said.

[@KPOPIVESTEVE]

How do people get a trailer like that. It’s funny how people rushing they end up nearly tipping the trailer. Great video

[@UncleFred100]

Really enjoy your videos…I move heavy items in very confined spaces, so I like to see the closeup thought process and detailed descriptions while the projects are going. Don’t really need the music or using a drone for drones sake. I consider your videos educational. Go back to that way of doing videos…they are great!!!😉👍

Please turn off the music, your commentary and explanation is way more entertaining. The natural sounds of the equipment working would also be great. Your channel is great! Thanks.

[@wideslammer]

I agree!

[@PepesTowingService]

I'm being crucified for the music damn lol. The new drone controller has no microphone, something I didn't know until I bought it. Instead of dead silence, I had to use music for the drone shots. It's hard to record the exact same shot minute for minute with the GoPro and overlay that audio, so I had to use music for those scenes.

[@wideslammer]

@@PepesTowingService One of the automotive channels I subscribe to has started using a voice-over instead of music in situations like that. Of course, that would mean even more work on your part. You'd have to record your voice-over while doing your editing. Your videos are so good that if music is used when using the drone, GO FOR IT.

[@ThatOneGuy-ot1qd]

Don't care for the music background. Feels like a commercial. Liked it better when you just talked and showed what you were doing Josh. Felt more a part of it. Still good video though. Keep up the good work!

[@bigthumperfoot]

So what caused it to flip?

[@ThomasKent1346]

Josh, I have a question about those refrigerated containers: Where do they get their power?

[@damnoldguy]

They have a small diesel motor that run a small but capable refrigeration unit, it's mounted on the front of the container. At 12:35 you can see them on the parked units.

[@kingbunky]

@@damnoldguy actually, any that go on a ship are pure electric, the chassis has a generator to power it on the road, the ship supplies power at sea, I’m guessing the train would need a generator as well. I hauled a lot of Chiquita bananas in containers out of Delaware, and the chassis had a generator.
