Shifted Load Almost Flips Container

Shifted Load Almost Flips Container. Oh look, a container that ISN'T on its side! Close call with this driver, who said he felt his load shift and stopped mid turn as he felt the container coming over. These are scary and I see them happen too often, usually they keep falling until the container rolls over.
I arrived at approximately 2:00am in Hulk, my 50ton Rotator, followed by Alex in Big Flipper, our 75ton rotator. The new 2024 Landoll was driven by Java Joe himself. These look scary, but with some quick and efficient work we got it off the chassis and onto the Landoll in no time. Once we got to the customer's yard, it was even faster to offload.
All in all, the entire job, from the moment we showed up, until we were leaving the customer's yard, was 1hr and 40 minutes. We are just too fast, but realistically most jobs should be this way when you know what you're doing. The rain did but a damper on things and got my equipment wet; luckily Alex's DJI Action 4 is waterproof and I'm able to do this entire video.
One super cool thing we did (Alex's suggestion too) was rotate the container BETWEEN the trucks to allow Joe super easy access to back up. This is a bit of an advanced move that we've done often together and personally I think looks awesome to see.

Driver lucked out feeling it start to go over. Stopping mid turn saved his tractor too. Good job Josh, Alex and Joe!

[@kimpeters4187]

Again I'm a new guy here. I enjoy watching highly skilled people at work in many different fields, you guys are top notch. Thanks again for the video's, stay safe.

[@bgmckddy]

Always cool to see Joe in action!! He really does have Madd Skillz behind the wheel with the Landoll. No matter how weird the load is!! All he needs is coffee. Be safe out there!!

[@luigi4559]

gotta call alex EL GATO cause he climbs every where lol great job guys !!!

[@EssGeeSee]

I find it amazing that Alex doesn’t talk to himself or whistle or make any noise. Good to see Joe again. No coffees this time.

[@normawade9426]

So much easier to watch your videos without worrying about one of you getting hit by a speeding car out on the Freeway!! Another great video, always enjoy your commentary on what, why and how you have things rigged.😊✌

[@harryscott9533]

another awesome performance 👍🤓

[@dennisconnolly1]

Good that the driver held-up and didn't complete the turn and possibly flipping the container!

[@melissahatfield4773]

I have never seen so much professionalism at once from Joe and his driving ability to Alex and Josh and their abilities to center the load to exactly where Joe needs it on the landall. Y’all never cease to amaze me. Great job guys.

[@jeffwatts4199]

Landoll trailer saves the day again! Can't believe how much use you get out of that piece of equipment.

[@wesleypulkka7447]

Alex and Josh, I have to chuckle when you guys say it's 30,000 lbs and both of you say yeah at least it's a light one! At least the weather was good! LOL Amazing save! Congrats!

[@gsheverything_2716]

Man, I love watching ALEX and JOSH bouncing off ideas off of each other, that is top notch chemistry right there, are you guys brothers???

[@45KevinR]

Good to see you all getting to work in big open spaces for a change and with zero traffic. I'd have needed a bigger reason to walk on the right side of that container though!

[@xrpspeedboat226]

It's nice when Joes in the video😊

[@Military-Museum-LP]

The thing that always pleases me is how Josh and Alex get along. Fratelli per sempre! Ciao da Italia.

[@ariedekker7350]

It's always fun to see what you get up to in a day. Boredom is not in your book.

[@pear7777]

Even shifted on the Landoll, it looks 'leaning'

[@oddtechman]

another crazy container rescue and thanks for sharing as always. At least the driver had some quick thinking to prevent it from being any worse! There is a 3rd party waterproof case for the pocket 3.. but it is only the device.. not with the handle thread mount or the battery handle and with the screen in portrait mode only. DJI have no plan as yet to release an official case for it :(

[@autumn7ful]

Thanks Alex for taking us inside the cab and watching you drive because that’s not something we get to see and I love watching you guys move those trucks around from the inside. Plus I love all the lights.

[@stevebrough304]

In the beginning I was wondering how the Landall would be okay if the load was shifted and uncorrectable. Then I saw how you guys shifted the container to one side of the Landall. Then Josh started thoroughly explaining the concept. Thanks guys...

[@mfc4591]

Chipping container.... Oh some letters missing... China shipping! 😂Well done team

[@markroberts1858]

Another fab video. The rain just adds to the reality of your job. 🇬🇧

[@wesleypulkka7447]

Amazing coordination at both ends of the job! A well executed three rig circus with no clowns!

[@harryjones8952]

At least the driver was able to stop before it fell over 😂

[@stevesimmons9859]

Love it when you rotate a container in midair!!

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Alex Josh and Joe great job you guys make it look so easy! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@DonPerry-nx4sr]

You guys are amazing. The way you think clearly when approaching the job and work safely, given the crazy hours you are called out to a job is testament to your professionalism. I've been watching your channel for a few years, you never disappoint😊😊

[@nbrowser]

Holy shift that's insane lean at the start!

[@rogerhowell6230]

It will be interesting when you do your first electric truck call.

[@slimwantedman6694]

Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota

[@bartschrijvers5563]

Great job Josh and Alex, there is only one thing missing in this video and that is Joe's coffee! 😁

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

Rain always stops when you are done working. It’s some kinda cosmic thing…… ;-)

[@playwithmeinsecondlife6129]

What you cal the rain pouring down us in New York call a slight misting.

[@mattc.310]

Nice to not have it laying on its side. Good reflexes on the trucker's part. Hope your cam is OK. Rain is a pain to shoot in. Cool maneuvering to get that box lined up for the Landoll.

[@Benzelf]

That what you'd call a Nightshift 😛

[@leegoldeneagle9003]

Now that was fun and cool thanks 👍👍👍👍👍 happy green day you. All 😊

[@JoseRoldan-y4x]

Yo right on time,love it I have viewer and we are to see the THREE AMIGOS Josh you made our Day,we are to get others people's to watch and you see they kind of waiting to see Joe,North Philly says THREE IS A CHARM😊😅😂

[@stacyjohnson42]

Josh you said exactly what i was thinking that it was raining 🐱 and 🐶 i don't know how y'all was able to see what y'all was doing great job Josh, Alex and Joe 👏✌️

[@kelleyunofficial3269]

What's with the rain? Good job, showed safety first. Thanks for the video!

[@PepesTowingService]

The rain specifically singled us out lol. Wasn't raining before we got there and wasn't raining when we left

[@autumn7ful]

Thanks Josh I really enjoy watching you guys when you’re in the truck doing some work too. It’s quite exciting for us to see the inside of the truck and all the gauges in the lights whatever I love it.

[@JesusPina-c6s]

[@JoseRoldan-y4x]

Come on man, when the THREE AMIGOS Josh will make the Day view or night 🌙 we like getting to have a PHILLY BLAST! Hope in the future

[@scottsasser7749]

You need to get some wraps that will go over your outriggers. So whenever you ever need to you can ramp over those and do won't hurt it. Just a suggestion. Thank you for your video.

[@colinl9018]

Always worries me when it's raining, the ladder is out, the ground is slippery and you have to climb the containers. All good though, nice job by the 3 of you.

[@mikegoodwin45]

Another great job by the guys from Pepe's. How often do you have to change the cable's on the trucks?

[@dennisconnolly1]

You guy's are pro's man, I love watching. I am a subscriber and I always put likes on the video's. Thanks again .. Nice equipment by the way geez!

[@malalexander3515]

Great job guys.

[@jerrykinnin7941]

Our last container roll over was a machine in a silver metal crate in a 40'HC box they secured the box in the container but failed to secure the machine to the box. 47000 lb machine slid 1 inch to the left and rolled the truck at under 15 mph. In a 25 mph right hand turn. Great save you all. Stay safe out there.

[@armidaperez5360]

R.I.P. 📷 maybe a Ziploc bag might help 🤣as a rain coat for your cameras. We know it's raining and don't mind the rain drops if it saves your camera's.

[@annemariepienaar2007]

I would love to be a member and help but living in SouthAfrica with no pension (age 67) and our exchange rate vs America dollars. I will watch you guys doing awesome jobs I absolutely love your video’s with your crew

[@raymondgochenour8725]

Been watching y’all for a while and some other towing video shows went by an accident and they were turning a car over. Keep in mind. I have no towing experience and I’m thinking hey man you’re doing that wrong you need a low line to spike that car down. I just thought it was funny. Have a good day. Enjoy the video.

[@tubeDude48]

Wouldn't it had made more sense to leave the rigging on the trailer since you just had to put it back on after you reached your destination, rather then twice?

[@Gkuljian]

Tracking status: shipment delayed

[@patrick103b]

Just pick it up and give it a big shake 😂

[@dennisjohnstone4739]

It appears the fifth wheel being a non stabilised version that can only pivot in the front to rear orientation, has allowed the trailer to lean over when the prime mover turned at 90° to the trailer. When the trailer is in this position the fifth wheel pivot direction is across the trailer allowing it to tilt if loaded unevenly. I drove a prime mover (tractor in USA) that had a ball race fifth wheel that had the top plate prevented from turning under the trailer by virtue of a block welded behind the king pin. The fifth wheel turned on the ball race thus ensuring the front/rear rocking motion of it was always lined up with the trailer, not the prime mover preventing situations like in the video.

[@simonchen6749]

usually need triple axle chassis for heavy load ,some 20 foot can exceed 68000 lbs or even more heavy weight

[@JamesTK]

Some drivers would just power through it and then turn it into an actual roll-over recovery

[@MarkNShorts]

Nice jobs Alex and Josh. Big flipper and hulk are putting in the jobs. I have a question, you guys are using big flipper more than hulk recently. Is there a reason you guys send big flipper out more than hulk or it depends on the initial job?

[@Hugh-t4r]

Inexperienced truck drivers who cannot feel a pan off center load. As long as they keep pumping out drivers with automatic transmission only restrictions wreckers and cranes will always prosper.

[@Semi-crazy24]

Awesome job! Quick question, on the tractor that pulls the landoll. Is the “PEPE’S” logo intentionally slanted?? 🤔

[@davidb.fishburn9338]

Great job, guys! Alex, what is the brand and model of the ladder? I'm looking for one, and that would be perfect for my needs.

[@simonwhyld3003]

Is it just the import containers that are the problem or do you have to deal with any export boxes?

[@ronwade2206]

Hand me that pianos, I want it, Here. 😊

[@howie4150]

Could you guys have shifted the load inside the container back by tilting it while in the air?

[@Lineman99]

I hate working in the rain!!

[@StevesVideoExperience]

Great video guys. I see you are using that new DJI Osmo Pocket 3 camera. seems to work pretty good in low light conditions. What's your take on it.

[@arturoflandes3890]

Saludos de Tijuana arturo padilla ei Pepe s ei es s ales y aotro compa

[@richardlaw5737]

Looks like needs a new amber beacon on the osr of the landol lol

[@MarkNShorts]

Did the 3 axis has a name like hulk and big flipper that Orlando drives?

[@shawnjarman9860]

I’m thinking the driver might have lowered the landing gear a bit, as the handle is still out, and it’s not all the way up, just a thought

[@norbertosoto3733]

Hey Alex why don't you release the your videos in the morning that way us here in NJ can watch them in day light lol

[@georgeking5746]

When the customer requests you off load their container let's say at their location is that an additional charge or included in the original quote?

[@flyerbob124]

Bill for your work needs to go back to the shipper who obviously didn’t shore up the load and or didn’t secure it properly inside the container. The way sone of those are pack is almost criminal.

[@frankswamarr269]

Hi guys I see you are using a chain joining link to lift up your container. I find a 19 ton bow shackle and a 22 ton shackle fits perfect. This is the Crosby shackle the one with the screw pin not the one with the pin and nut. Give it a try.

[@liljunior805]

Since you do a lot of container jobs, you think of buying a chasis or is the landoll good enough?

[@__a5760]

Wait, it rains in Long Beach...

[@imr71889]

Imagine that tow bill

[@ridewot]

Just wondering is payment for your service guaranteed?

[@woody1320]

Did Joe have his coffee or did I miss it?

[@doak4886]

Did Joe get rain in his coffee?

Nice job guys, but Joe needs to get with the program.
