Trailer rips open after accident on freeway - MAJOR clean up recovery

[@socalkook1536]

Hats off to the last responders, these hero’s are on the the job 24/7 to clean up all of our disasters. Every one is always giving credit to the first responders which they do deserve, but we never talk about the people the do this kind of work out of the spotlight.

[@andrewdavidson7656]

That is going to be one hell of a bill. Multiple destroyed trucks and trailers, damaged cargo, numerous heavy wreckers and a large clean up crew.

[@hirisk761]

and somebody's insurance is about to go way,way up too!

[@SteveG-f1e]

100k bill. It will put them out of business because it won't be worth it due to crazy expensive insurance

[@harryscott9533]

gives new meaning to clean up in aisle one doesn't it!! good job 👍🤓🙋‍♂️

[@hirisk761]

clean up in aisle 1,2,3,4 and in the parking lot!

[@bgmckddy]

What a FREAKING mess!!!! When you have all the right equipment and people, it just takes time. And, it seems that your dad gets ALL of the fun trailers!! Good job on the video also!! Take care my friend and be safe!!

[@jeanettestruggs1051]

Still amazed at the piece of metal harpooned into front trailer

[@Ricochet845]

Pepe’s absolutely crushing it as always! Phenomenal work by all. Love when pops came “I’m your gatorade delivery man” love a boss that doesn’t think “I don’t have to do this that’s why I’m the boss” but actually gets in the trenches perse and works with his employees.

[@reevinriggin3570]

Sign of a true leader. I agree, they did an awesome job and crushed it. I don't know how many folks work there, but this looked like an all hands on deck kinda deal.

[@Ricochet845]

@@reevinriggin3570 agreed. And from what I’ve seen over the years of videos Josh takes after his pops so I have no doubt Pepe’s will continue to exist for over another 40 years.

[@jameshunsinger9293]

Josh best line of the whole video "If Pops says it's prefect it's prefect I'm done"

[@edwinschlee8374]

That was a big mess! Side swiping that other trailer and having part of it piercing your trailer would be a bit scary! Good that both drivers are ok! Good job by all the men from Pepe's towing!

[@jacalynwilliams5972]

I love the way you show honor and respect for and to your father continue to be blessed

[@leeshaver7825]

The one thing I remember about being a tow operator is how much it sucked working on the shoulders and center dividers of SoCal freeways Watching you guys work with the traffic flying by reminds me of that anxiety Be safe be careful out there people don't seem to give a 💩 anymore

[@lindap.p.1337]

PLEASE be careful!

[@jerrydutra3225]

You guys got our east coast outfits beat!👍👍

[@esthergarcia8829]

Josh you and Alex crack me up y’all are so funny. I have to watch you every night before I go to bed. I just love watching your show. I ran into it one day and I was hooked.❤

[@jimp.4531]

Josh, I'm thinking that was one of your greatest cleanups and recoveries on the freeway

[@pamwashington3080]

Yet another great job done! fantastic team work as usual.. I loved the dramatic music while moving the jack knifed tractor unit! Been following Pepe's for about a week and really enjoying the service you provide.. you have a fan right here in the UK :)

[@OTE_TheMissile]

Yeah I'm with you, the only thing I can figure is when the grocery truck sideswiped the flatbed, it must've pulled that side rail off the flatbed and drove it all the way through the grocery truck, peeling it off the flatbed as it went. Crazy to imagine the amount of force it must've taken to ram that rail through all of those groceries.

[@TheVitorgoncalves]

The BIG BOSS standing guard and helping the boys.......good job guys.....

[@SumterWrecker]

Mr Josh That sure was a mess but as always your crew handled it. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.

[@autumn7ful]

Well, that was pretty brutal but boy you guys always do a great job. You’ve got the team, the manpower, the truck power to get all the stuff done. There’s not a lot of people that have a fleet quite like yours I’m sure.

[@Bears58]

Josh and Alex you both crack me up with your funny comments

[@lewiscates3724]

Man you guys do dam good work awesome team work true professionals 👍🏻👍🏻

Loved the music. Good job!

[@cashtimevideo1501]

A first-class job done by everyone involved! 👍 Y'all earned a good night's sleep after that! 😴😊

[@autumn7ful]

I really love your channel but you guys if you ever get a chance, I don’t know if it’s on KZbin or you get it. You need to watch Highway through hell that’s here in Canada. You have to see some of the stuff they gotta do in blizzards and snow and mountains it’s just unbelievable.

[@Chris38908]

Great job that was a mess man you guys did a great job clearing that trailer out fast .

[@jacalynwilliams5972]

I love how you all seem to get along and your father can really drive those trucks

[@timadams3486]

Loved the music and the fast forward it came together great .. do it again on another video

Great recovery there guys at pepes towing

Josh, the music is a little over the top! 😂😂😂 complicated …hey what! 😁😁😁😁

It’s amazing how you have all the equipment you need to get the job done no matter how big the job is

[@stevenruiz4802]

Great work Pepe’s team 👍🏼

Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota

[@ronaldvanotten6812]

WOW Josh! that was an epic job! Well done... Hope that you was able to get some good sleep... Ron..

[@obfuscatethecode5696]

This new video style is much better! I love watching you guys turn to. Your professionalism and speed is amazing- like a well oiled machine. Everyone seems to get the job done and I like how when “the boss” shows up he doesn’t take over like a tv show drama. Anyways thanks for the videos. I’ve been watching since the dangling truck on the 710 but I think the cement truck falling down the hill was my favorite video. Your dad is a beast of a driver!

[@mgt9491]

This is interesting and entertaining. I could only imagine the kind of work that goes into this type of cleanup.

[@verdagarner5112]

Wow. That was mess good job guys. Be safe out there.

[@jesseottman213]

I'm sure having all the equipment helps a bunch but I'm sure early on you dad had to figure out where to get it all from great work by everyone was a great clean up

[@BrianMonroe]

Nice job. I just wish that the traffic would slow down when they are passing your work zone. I always do. Say safe out there.

[@niallocallaghan5883]

[@rshutterbug47]

That Was EPIC TO THE MAX, & What A CREW YOU GUY'S TOTALLY ROCK 👍👍👍👍👍

[@jontrimble6874]

What you guys could use is a street sweeper, that you could load on the landall.

[@who-gives-a-toss_Bear]

37:32 and OH NO not the Jameson. 😭 38:58 We can now see who ran into who, no hiding that one. But a great clean up.

[@charlesgiannuzzi5438]

That was one hell of a cleanup I feel sorry for you guys you must have been out there for hours but I've never seen a flatbed trailer lose one side rail completely off truck and land inside another trailer that boy must have been flying when he sites with that flatbed glad everybody was okay you guys love the videos keep up the good work Josh and stay safe that's all you guys

Josh another great job, one of the dirtiest ones yet! It’s good that you have a great crew! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@donw3912]

That was a major mess..well done by one and all. I wonder what the cause was...the only thing that would give the grocery trucks driver a leg to stand on is a medical emergency. If he/she was ok...I think its safe to say that the last time they will be behind the wheel of a rig. two scrap trailers, one scrap Volvo..and a ton of labor hours..insurance is gonna love that bill... Keep up the great work Josh...you never disappoint:-)

[@robertlay5108]

on them skid,s the way they made us put them on the truck when i work shiping and receaving was start out two left two to the right on 25 skids a trailer that way it would not be off balance and truck would not have acendent if we did not do it right we got firerd couse it would make it dangrouse that is why that loud shifted and you guys were awsome doing what you did lol robert

[@MrSonny57]

Great video!! Good job!!

Hey Pepe's towing service! Wow that's a lot of carnage and a lot of work! Would you rather do the heavy towing and cleanup or would you rather do all the paperwork involved with that accident? Insurance papers and all! Ride ride ride!

Very Well Orchestrated Chaos

Absolutely one of your best.

[@alexleblanc88]

PEPE you can be proud as hell of youre team!

[@robertmcbee4671]

Interesting video, sure hope no one was hurt in that accident. Just a thought regarding the airborne suspension of the flatbed trailer, personally I would have kept it closer to the ground until the actual lowboy was ready to receive the damaged flatbed... just for safety issues. I am not a tow/recovery driver, but was a truck driver. Your crew does amazing work. Please remain safe and always keep an eye out for he drivers that are not paying attention to you.

[@OscarLT321]

This job was crazy

[@robsuekin15]

Great job with that mess and having spent my life managing supermarkets in the U.K. I would not like to be in the store that received that load 🤦‍♂️ Thanks for sharing and stay safe guys

Nice work dude that was a job and a half....video came out great even with the audio issue....keep up the good work thanks for letting us look over the masters shoulder you all make it look easy

[@EyeMWing]

That was a very expensive night. By my count, 3 landolls (one didn't get used), 2 heavy wreckers (I suppose you could have reused that but it's getting billed for two trips), 1 dry van with a tractor, 2 transloads worth of labor, forklift, a rollback for the forklift, another rollback for the big debris, 1 tractor and the rotator. Plus the hazmat crew, their truck, and a street sweeper. Not to mention all the cargo spoilage, two totaled trailers and one, maybe two totaled tractors.

[@richardreid6377]

'Extra' Landoll was to carry the forklift.

[@georgehasler142]

Josh great job by the hole team as always everyone work safe and enjoy the hoildays

[@sethtriggs]

That's one of the worst messes I've seen in a while! Very well recovered though! You definitely have the tools to do it right.

Great video. Got it all. Big wrecks. Varying work. Big trucks. Great music. One of your better videos to me. Question: how many of your trucks where involved in the recovery? Seems like most was on scene?

[@Terry49]

🙌🙌 Equipo de ensueno

[@handymansteve]

ok, how many water or liquor bottles got "lost" in that mes due to being thirsty over the course of the night..... did you just grab a small dumpster for the debris?looked like enuf to fill a 10yd one... i saw what looked like a rail strapped to the top of the landaul with the pallets of bags, where did that come from? the grocery trailer still had the rail inside it when the other trailer left...

[@dallasarnold8615]

What a shot it would have made if the accident were caught on highway cameras.

[@andrewyork8208]

If that was in the UK the road would be closed - 0 passing traffic - would take a full day to clean up.

[@ThomasKent1346]

It would be nice if the "slow down, move over" laws were enforeced, wouldn't it?

[@mikerotch4597]

And people need to pull there head out of there ass and pay attention

[@danb2122]

That truck was illegally parked on the shoulder and partially in the forward lane. I know that road and it’s striped and signed saying no parking at any time. Also, being a trucker myself I always get over for stopped vehicles on the shoulder. I’d have my signal on and nobody will let you over, not even other truckers. Not a 100% sure, but I bet that smart n final driver couldn’t get over in time.

[@understandingunderstanding4880]

it's not law in California move over or slow that is

[@PepesTowingService]

You are confidently incorrect. It's a law in all 50 states

Great job by all! How was your oatmeal and Cuervo for breakfast?

[@45KevinR]

Ooo, found an old one. 2 years old, it says. Is that early Alex before he was in a rotator? He was already climbing up & down really easily. So was the pallet truck in motion or sitting on the shoulder when it was struck? I guess stationary due to the relative speed needed to pop off the entire side member and punch it through pallets. They gave the lovely red volvo to the guy and he trashed it.

[@terrynash7508]

Josh that was a awesome recovery. What a real mess. I really enjoyed the music. Where did you find the song. Please keep up the great videos.
