I've got my top 5 video's from 3 years now. No end in site for Pepe,s towing.

[@murrayparr3244]

I was wondering why your crew wear dark uniforms, especially in the L.A. area. Dark colors absorb heat more than light colors.

[@PepesTowingService]

@@slimwantedman6694 what are your top 5?

[@PepesTowingService]

@@murrayparr3244 because pink was taken 😂

[@yafois988]

Of course we Love CRACRA stuff!

[@tperki2322]

I love it. The telehandler was hit by a train and smashed to pieces and you guys are worried about scratching the paint!!! Now that is conscientious.

[@PepesTowingService]

Haha good catch. It's a force of habit, we take great pride in causing as little further damage as possible. On huge wrecks, it's inevitable sometimes. But we aren't like the other channels who see a recovery and have no respect for the casualty.

[@RicParry]

You're not supposed to damage it any worse than it already is

[@CliffordWhisenant]

Professionalism commitment to doing quality work regardless of the situation. That is awesome. People need to watch this and learn from it

[@PepesTowingService]

Tell that to my "competition" lol

[@AcmeAce]

You don't have competition if they don't have respect

[@lynnmoser6918]

Here I am a 75 yr old woman getting a load of cabinet shop waste wood in my humble old manual Ranger yesterday and a big, long trailer load of lumber comes in for a delivery. What fun to move aside for the big forklift and then time to walk around and look at points on the trailer you've pointed out for this or that use. Pepe's Towing Channel should grow by leaps and bounds for so many reasons. Keep up the high standards!

[@PepesTowingService]

That's awesome! I stay so busy with work that I wish I could devote even more time to this channel to grow, but I'm content with how organic it is and the steady climbing thanks to viewers like yourself.

[@colinl9018]

Your words are inspirational.

And that's why people love my channel. We are very blessed and proud to handle LA's biggest and hardest wrecks

[@PepesTowingService]

[@StevesVideoExperience]

You make hard work seem easy and fun. Really enjoy watching you guys at work.

[@PepesTowingService]

"love what you do, and you'll never work a day in your life". My dad says this quote a ton and often people just say that, but we REALLY love what we do. Definitely doesn't feel like work.

[@frankmartin8471]

Josh and Alex never get a chance to get bored with routine jobs. There's always a Joker in the deck to present a few challenges for them. Great job and some precision placement, as always.

[@AcmeAce]

I don't like boring tow after boring tow. Mix it up please let me operate recovery once in a while or flatbed a boat with no trailer or a dead cow or two. Mix it up. Make me use my brain once in a while. Rollback operator nor-cal.

[@jonjhon8491]

[@PepesTowingService]

Thank you! I don't use this camera enough and man is it cool

[@wesleypulkka7447]

Great recovery once again by the A team Josh + Alex! I wonder who left the keys in the Telehandler? That person cost their company mega bucks!

[@PepesTowingService]

Those are pretty easy to start. I carry a set of construction equipment jiggler keys to start all kinds of machines for when we have to transport them.

[@KB-gs8zi]

Hey Josh & ALL Crew !!! Great job of getting the machine loaded with NO more damage to the RR or machine !! 👍👍👍👍👍 Quick repairs & back to work for sure !!! 🙂🙃😉

Wow Josh is slowly morphing into the dad bod lol and Alex cut his gorgeous hair 🥲 I decided to watch from the begining episodes so I’m just now seeing Josh and Alex 4 years later 😂❤❤❤❤ I love watching this. I’ve learned so much from both Josh and Alex. Amazing to me honestly. I impressed on the skills and knowledge instilled in these guys. I haven’t seen any other tow company like Pepe’s. I also love that Josh is always planning his moves carefully and methodically then executing successfully. I hope some day you’ll created another new theme two truck that’d be so cool!! P.s. ppl think I’m weird cause I’m a woman and love watching towing for a couple of hours and day. Need to catch up lol

[@electladynanci]

Excellent video! Combining the two things I love. Recovery and railfaning! Speaking of railfaning I regularly watch videos on what's called "Street Running Trains". There are towns and cities where locomotives run down the streets of the town, Lagrange, Ky is one example..... I can just imagine living where a locomotive comes through your town on a daily basis. Of course there have been bone headed accidents...... 🤦 Keep up the good work.

[@jamesclavettejr6952]

Your company is extremely talented.😊

[@rp42069]

19:30 ITS A LEGIT SKYTRAK NOW 😂

[@PepesTowingService]

[@gorillaau]

For when the sky meets the track, get a Skytrak.

[@alwhalen3488]

I'm a retired train engineer and I can assure you this is not that unusual of an occurrence. I hit a fork lift once at fairly low speed and it flipped the machine around 180 degrees with the operator in it. He was actually mad that I hit him, like he had a right to cross the tracks without looking for a train. Turns out the crossing was not legal and the railroad showed up with an excavator the next day and ripped it out. Another great video. Nice work !

[@jimderrick846]

Some of those jobs just take for ever. Great work boys. Keep it up 👍

[@freddog5218]

really enjoy your videos I,m an old 81yrs wrecker driver nothing like the equipment you have.

[@PepesTowingService]

Oh man I don't even know where I got this one! But I specifically got it because of the visor. It comes in handy when you use cutting equipment

[@LogicalNiko]

11:00 - yep don’t want to scratch the paint after being hit by a moving train. 😂 (no worries, I know you guys never try to add any additional damage to something)

Pepe's lead guys Alex & Josh put on clinics for other recovery operators every time they go on jobs. They're thorough, explain what's going on, and are experts in rigging. I learn a lot about cabling from them, for my work in elevated boom lifts doing tree removal. Thank you, guys. 🤙👍

Bro, Love the content, just subscribed! I saw Pepe's hauling out a couple of behemoth homeless RVs in Santa Monica on another channel, it was great! The mayor of LA is telling everybody the reason they can't move the RV encampments is because the city doesn't have any heavy tow haulers! Is Pepe's getting the contract for that work? You guys would have a full card for a year just getting rid of ALL the broken-down RVs littering the streets of LA! Pepe's seems like the only shop that could get that work done fast and efficiently! Hope to maybe see some of that content in the future!

[@Military-Museum-LP]

Josh why did you go with a pusher axle for Hulk and a tag axle for Big Flipper?

Because flipper doesn't tow. It's designed for maximum recovery capabilities and to do that it needs to turn better than the other trucks
