Sleeping container on the freeway!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- In today's episode, we handle another overturned tractor with container on the freeway. This job was done using my 50ton rotator (aka Hulk) and my dad's 60ton rotator (aka Old Yeller) to handle the loaded container, while Miguel controlled the tractor using his 35ton heavy wrecker. The job was textbook, with the upright itself taking record time to clear the freeway.
My new "Van Lingen" method for controlling the tractor during the upright is probably my new favorite way to handle them. The power of the rotators handle the container, which brings the tractor over as well, but the equalizing sling we use always the tractor to slowly and safely rotate using the floating snatchblock. This method prevents unnecessary slamming and makes the job easier.
For the container, I used my tried and tested method (also taken from Van Lingen) of using 8' long straps (rated at 40,000lb WLL) to bring over the container while my custom container slings are used as a catch.
The load was thousands of hand packed boxes that shifted to the passenger side, making it unsafe to tow. Once upright, we lifted the container off the chassis and set it onto our new Landoll.

Dad is old school like most dads but I'm sure he has a wealth of knowledge and experience. You get to work and learn from him every day. Nothing better than that!
He knows a thing or two, because he's seen a thing or two 😂
@@PepesTowingService LOL. Best reply ever!
@@PepesTowingService That's funny right there, I don't care who you are... LMAO...
That comment made me laugh josh
Imagine if everybody enjoyed their work as much as Josh does?
More people would if they all drove Hulk lol
Imagine if the DMV employees had the same passion.. 😳
"Attitude is everything" is an exaggeration, but not much of one when you think about it.
I'm 52 years into my life and still have to fight hard to be a positive influence on myself (and others).
Laughter cures all that ails us and makes life easier to live.
::humble ::not preaching
HAHA -- I beef with my Dad towing too. You love em but they think they know it all... I guess we think we know it all too...
I do the same with my dad, I'll try to explain one of my recoveries to him, or we will be on one together and we always fight about ideas on how it should be done, usually, he'll judge me for a recovery I did like "You should have just hooked a wheel and pulled it up and I'm like "... Dude I couldn't have done that because it was pinned against a culvert pipe" But I only do light duty for now, no heavies so there ain't too much to argue about.
What I love about your videos bro it's so awesome to witness Father and Son working together without a hitch it's called team work beautiful and thanks for your videos
My Grandson (he's 3!) and I really enjoy your videos, especially this one that needed 3 of the heavy tow trucks!! Great job!
Thank you guys for watching!
Same here 😂
your dad is from the old guard ..you have to be more patient ...i mis the Com's.. good job guys
I am patient, he's the boss.
I like your dad , he only says what needs to be said. And gets it done. I see why your so good at this. Nice job
Loved your Dad, he’s old school but has respect for new technology. Great video. Thanks for sharing. Kevin
The respect and love he has for his dad, is cool.
You and dad don’t agree at times. But I love how you respect him and try to do it his way because he’s the boss.
You get a lot of containers that like to take naps! Be safe to all at Pepe’s.
Another good video.. thanks again
Thanks!
Josh another fantastic video, enjoy seeing you and you’re pops working together. And again awesome trucks take pride in your ride. Also thanks for that link baileys towing need a strap to pull my truck out in case it gets stuck in a little mud.
This was last week right ? I passed thru it.😂😂 i was like there goes Pepes..
That's the one!
@@PepesTowingService I also passed through a nice ass crib right where the 60 and 71 meet , it had a abandoned tow truck in the backyard and it said Pepes . I was like damn that must be the owners or one of the Drivers . 🤔🤔 Whos Is It ????? 😂😂
Where exactly? We don't have any abandoned trucks, all tow trucks are stored at our various yards.
All I can say is , one day you will notice everything getting heavier and the ground getting lower and lower, and harder getting back up. We all get old.
Thank you for the life lesson I guess? I'm well aware I won't be 31 forever.
I love rotator wrecker tow truck#2 it's looks so awesome 😎😎😃😎😃😄😁🙂😆👌👍🤟🤙🤘💜💚💚💛🧡🖤❤️💕🤩😉😀
Thank you for sharing your recoveries. Watching you orchestrate these operations is nothing short of beautiful. God bless you and keep you and your workers safe.
My compliments to you and company ! After watching other tow companies doing their thing on container lifting , You and company are by far true professionals ! you pick them up without hesitation and know exactly what needs to be done ! again keep up the good work ! Love your videos.
LOL @ 7:58... Swing Batter Batter... Josh by you injecting humor into your work at just the right time... You make it that much more enjoyable to watch these videos... It's like we can't wait to see what you're going to say next man... Thanks for making me laugh . . . !!! Keep up the great work...!
Thank you! I'm a natural joker lol so I'm always saying random things haha
Another father and son team job. I really enjoy watching your videos. It is good to see new videos. I enjoy the way you take care of Hulk,
all organized neatly, everything put away in it's place. What model are your Landals ? Text book job.
@ 12:08 you can get a very rare glimpse of what the "Professional Recovery Josh" looks like in the reflection of Hulk's door. My wife says you look like one of those good looking movie star guys in Hollywood Josh... I can definitely see your dad in you... Nice to see the both of you working together... be safe out there bud . . . thanks for the awesome video!
Thank you! I do have a tripod that I'll try to use more often to include myself in the videos
Smooth controlled upright , ~~~> Savage ☆☆☆☆¿
I just found your channel a few days ago. If wrecker recovery wasn't enough to get my attention, your enthusiasm and obvious passion for what you do makes these videos even better!
Damn, that's a new Cascadia. Well, WAS a new Cascadia.
Some of these comments are insufferable. A bunch of know nothings throwing in their two cents... thats RUclips for ya.
Public scrunity and constructive criticism must be accepted if you're gonna post on You Tube. What I don't appreciate is the hatred and bias platforms .
Fun to see Miguel so impressed with the tractor sling and to hear your Dad say, You like it I will get you one. I have always thought that attitude was what made Pepe's great.
Stupid driver took the on ramp to fast....
I use these videos to show my trainees how NOT TO DRIVE. Lol.
I've been running "cans"about 8 yrs now. A few years ago a friend of mine rolled an import 20ft er in a 20 mph curve at 13 mph. Load shift similar to this Accident.
Accident was deemed
Non-preventable. Because it was a Sealed can. Y'all be safe out there.
So I enjoy your videos but get over your 100 degrees heat. We live in Phoenix, Arizona where it's hot. My son is a heavy duty diesel mechanic who works outside in an all concert yard where when its 110 out his yard is even hotter so please death at 100 degrees is hot for you others work hard in that heat every day!!! But please keep putting out your amazing videos!
smooth recovery, very smooth!
I agree with you Don't buy any cheaper straps from Amazon. Good job buddy
Excellent team work your amazing father is old school but knows the trade very well ..
Old school working with new school
@@PepesTowingService love it too ! Y’all get it done ..
I don't operate any machinery like this but have always liked seeing the rigging. that cab rigging setup is sweet. all operator there has to do (if I am seeing it correct) is keep cab off the ground just enough to not bind while YOU guys rotate the cab around HIS axis. one lever operation on his end really. sweet.
You got it right on the nose. Normally a wrecker would be used to "spike" the tractor, by using a low pull line to the axle or rim to help bring the tractor over. My new method works because the rotators are strong enough to bring everything over, while the wrecker up front controls the tractor so it does not slam over.
@@PepesTowingService Did Sean learn that at a class or show? Gotta love sharing new techniques and information 😎👍
@@bighouse1283 not sure who taught him, but I've learned a ton from him
@@PepesTowingService oh I bet you have! Wish they still videos also. Stay safe to you all
Hope nobody got woke up.
Your dad's a sweetie!
Sleeping container???
love the 4K setting you guy a kool watch almost everyday
Towlets seething
1 4 3 Josh !!!
I think I would enjoy a job like this to working as a tow truck driver especially if I was my own boss would sure beat chicken processing work being out in the open air instead in a concrete and steal building
Good job 👍
Nice work
Hello Josh,
We've seen your dad and other co worker's but we have not deen you other than your feet and hands, we haven't seen your face.
Show us your face so we can put the voice to a face.
Love the video's keep up the good work and god bless and stay safe.
Your Dad “Get Pictures “ LOL Awesome
Nice compliment to your dad I have a son running my show now to but he always askes my advice when I'm around 32 years verses 20 your dad built that business he is a great man !!! Your a great son job well done by father and son and employees team work is dream work !
Thanks for the compliments! Good luck to your son, I'm sure you'll teach him right
Do do you guys sale any merchandise. I would like to get my nephew a t shirt. Pepe is he’s nicknamed
Love the Snatch block in the front
Automatic cable nice 👍🏾
You know I got only the best 😎😎😎
Hey Josh’s dad..you did a great job !
Thank you so much. Another one for the books. It's been 40 years in the towing industry for this tired bear.
Are the trucks (tractors) totaled after such a rollover?
I could imagine that the accident bends the frame.
Or is it just some body work and back on the road?
Anyway great video as always.
If they're new they usually get repaired
XTRA INC.piggy back trailer is one of my entitlements
I just can't believe how fast they can get it done when they have the room to work
Who wouldn't like this . This great .lol
that was a brand-new truck someone lost their job. unless they owned the truck
I live right off they ramp this happened about ones every 3 months
I really like the yoke you put on the front of the tracktor
Sometime in life the student become better than teacher. Life is beautiful.
what would a job like this involving three trucks cost?
Hi bro
That was smart the way you hooked up the front with the pulley system 👍
Where did you buy the cable weights from?
Was anybody injured in this accident?
Never in history has a container been righted that gently.
Check my other videos, we're known for smooth roll overs :)
Your pa is an old school tow truck driver
Awesome , Thanks Pepe
Hi Sir Josh, Dad is such old School. I'm 100 percent sure he can out rig us ALL, Your Dad Doesn't Play Around At All. Never Saw Him Smile Of Crack A Joke ☺😆😀 He Was And Very Serious When We Met Him At Miller's. He works with pride, He Doesn't Like When We Challenged His Intelligence. Josh, Stop Suggesting To Dad.😀😆 Lol. He Treated Us The Same Exact Way, When Dad Showed Up At Miller Industries. Thank you for allowing Dad To Work Side By Side With You Not Keeping Him In The Office. We Love Seeing Dad, In The Battlefield With You. He's A Icon With A Brilliant Computer On His Shoulder. Now We All See Why Pete's Towing Service And Recovery Is Number 1👍🤙👊 Lots Of Lifting Powers And Strength On This Incident Scene. Thanks Josh. 😊
This's the main reason why Josh, is the best movie filmmaker and producer of Hollywood movies. It's all about the real moments of truth and reality with Pepe's Towing Service. Thanks Josh, 💪👍🚔🚥🛣
You showed us some tricks of the trade, we had them in tunneling using two air winches multipool snatch blocks when we erected the cast iron tunnel lining in hand work.
Truck driving is a Las Vegas card game, you never know how the container is loaded, can be off center any way. Making driving interesting or worse, trouble is who takes the blame when some one gets hurt or worse. Also a lots of places won't let the drivers up on the loading ramp. to watch his truck get loaded.
Thanks for posting, stay safe.
that was full alright
@1:05 he’s old school .. ⛓
Another job VERY well done!! It's really cool watching you work with you Dad. He is Old School all the way and the voice of experience. He sees EVERYTHING!! Take care my friends and, be safe!!
I like your method for controlling the tractor!
It's good to that super dad's open to purchasing newer rigging for the wreckers to have at their disposal.
It's nice to give credit to others (Van Lingen Towing) when it's appropriate. I'm sure there are others who pick up tips 'n' tricks from Josh and the crew at Pepe's Towing.
So there is no bouncing, thud. Not as exciting. (But much smarter, safer, less strain)
When you lifted it. Could you tell if weight was higher on the left?
I personally think the bouncing aka "thud" of slamming something over is just lazy and unprofessional, plus less safe like you said.
@@PepesTowingService I have seen them ALMOST go onto other side. As there didn’t look to be tight curve. Was it a conax loaded heavy one side? Trailer that broke something? Rapid direction change by truck driver? What caused it to “take a nap?”
Your Pops is old school with it Josh, chains and cable like the old school days 👌🏼👌🏼 let em trust your gear at his pace. 👍🏼👍🏼
Your Dad is old school. Don’t push the new technology too hard. It could make him feel he’s not very important anymore.
Great job
All the gadgets you have and teamwork came out smooth. Thats something to cheer about forever. Watching you all working together was the best thing by far .
DAD, pointing at the rigging on the tractor: "You like that?"
MIGUEL: Yeah.
DAD: I'll get you one.
I wish all my bosses were like that.
When I worked for freight airline we used those kind of loop straps to hold down the nose of a 747 instead of using a tail stand . Had big steel plates in the concrete ramp and ran the straps through the nose gear. Worked like a champ and a whole lot easier than setting up a tail stand.
Very cool 😎😊
That’s the second freightliner truck that has flipped over ,almost identical to each other
Geez Josh, talk about playing in traffic. Good video!!
Nice job, Ron Pratt would still be putting his hard hat on.
Nice video
Hope there was enough battery left for the next job, sounds like an interesting one.
Trying to teach old dogs new tricks. Another quality video
Good job!
Do you strap it down to the land all? Or how do you secure it to the landall?
im glad i sub to your video' its exciting to watch your videos :)
Hope we see your big call you going to! This one was nice. Enjoyed
Another great job performed by Pepe's wreckers!
What were those boxes of in that thing?
Sure were a lot of them tetrised in there...
Question in this scenario who pays for the truck damage or is it driver responsibility
theres insurance on the truck and "load insurance" which covers the cargo
@@jonvenusti right but I’m saying who would pay if the load was loaded wrong would he still need to go thru his own insurance
You guys sure make a hard job look simple.
You walk a fine line between the generations
A great way to improve the lift! Well done!
what is the reason you use a clevis between the hook and the sling? all the tow guys do and all the crane guys don't
What part do you mean? The sling is in a snatchblock. That's attached to an oblong, to the other snatch block. How else would you connect the snatch blocks to each other?
Long day pushing down tree's but I made it here. As always be safe
Awsome video
Who is the boss
Who's asking?
@@PepesTowingService keith
So exactly how old is "Ole Yeller"? Sure looks good !
