- Tractor Trailer Rollover Accident - Uprighted in Mid-Air. Been a while since I tag teamed a rollover with my dad! If this spot looks familiar, it's because we get them here ALL. THE. TIME. This hot spot keeps us busy, but like always we were lightning fast and off the side to keep traffic open as much as possible.
The first step my dad did actually was scoot the container to us to free an additional lane, which made CHP very happy. In a perfect world the freeway would be fully shut down for maximum safety, but we are so experienced and comfortable working under these conditions and understand that heavy traffic can cause even more accidents. The customer's load was going to a local warehouse, while the tractor and trailer had to go back to the yard. For maximum efficiency, we rolled out a forklift and Landoll to take the load of coils.
Uprighting these loaded dry van trailers can be such a pain. You risk ripping the wall and spilling the load, and the way this load was it would have been difficult to even pre-pick it since all the weight was small and concentrated up front only. My dad made the right call to offload, and while that was happening I started to work on the tractor. After splitting it, we upright it and put it to the side up front. Then I rigged the trailer for both trucks. By the time I was done, the trailer was empty and we got to work.
Tons of calories burned up in this horrible heat, but worth it once it came over by doing a mid air roll. I even got fancy with this one by using my Wreckmaster Wrinkle to double as my lift and catch point. Once I have enough air, I go in with the lift cable while letting out on the catch until it's even, then cables down for both of them until it's touching the freeway. Enrique backed up the tractor to the now empty trailer, and off we all went.
What did everyone think of this "barrel roll/mid air roll" technique we did?

@ 18:10 "always got to protect the customer's equipment. just because they're rolled over doesn't give us free range to damage it". Good principle, shows character.
Hey Josh, your father is a very very smart man. No trucks sitting around idling/waiting. I like that.
I liked the comment from the guy asking if you " if you ever did this before", your comment was "everyday" and your dad Dad just said "42 years". good job as always.
im a big fan of pepes towing. love how josh left the footage of his mistake when uprighting the truck. true professionalism there
Jobs like these are EXACTLY the reason that Pepe's is the BEST in the business Josh- You guys stay safe & hydrated out there!
Yay, another Josh led job. Explaining as he works. It's a lot harder than you would think to talk to the camera (us) so naturally.
Very interesting watching all of you working together. Saw another wreck you worked on. I drove our own truck from 63-94. Very few women drive then. Lucky never had an accident. You really do a great job and are fast at clearing the freeway. Congrats:
Man I love watching you guys. Balls of steel. Working fast in 112F on LA highways and all that traffic. It’s crazy how professional your team is. Y’all work hard and have great communication to get the job done. That’s the number one reason I keep watching your videos. Thanks for the upload.
My brother went in the Navy a teen ager went came out a few years later bought a tractor and trailer drove all the rest of his life and thank God no accidents and he drove out of California for a lot of years. Great job Pepe’s Towing a lot of people don’t realize some of these trucks are owner operator and if it’s not rolling their pay check stops.
Josh, I love how respectful of your employees/coworkers. It must be awesome to work at Pepe’s
Your father is extremely smart man!!! 👍 Any great truck driver ALWAYS ties down their freight no matter what to avoid these types of accidents of the freight 'moving' in the trailer. 🙄
Josh the best part of this job is that the payment was there Music to your ears! That doesn’t happen to often .. Great job keeping the equipment moving..
That’s what 42 years of experience brings. You do go great work Josh but Daddio is on a whole different level!
Awesome job by all, especially some sweet backing-up skills by Enrique. The cuts don't bother me, you guys are busting your asses in dangerous conditions, I could never fault you for putting your health & safety over my entertainment.
Great video! I was surprised that it was okay to drive the forklift on the side of that trailer. First time seeing this 5th wheel attachment, makes sense. Thanks for another great video from Denver.
Another nice one Pepes towing! Nice to be able to use the same tractor to pull the trailer!
You Men do a professional job, right on !!!
Thank you 😎
U sure a pretty good intelligence, Josh. U r not afraid or embarrassed to show what u over looked in rigging, that might cause damage to ur guys vehicles. Sign of a person who has his foot on the ground. Is y the more I watch the more I'm getting impressed with ur actions including Alex🤙🤙🤙🤙🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Man, I really don’t think anyone’s going to be belly aching that you didn’t film every second, like bro, 112* is BRUTAL! And it’s clear skies no cloud cover to help keep it cool….. you probably lost 8lbs in sweat. Gotta make sure you stay extra hydrated on days/jobs like that. Dehydration, and heat stroke/exhaustion are scary enough on their own….. together though, better than 50/50 odds it can be fatal if not treated properly and VERY quickly. Days like that I bet you’re SO happy y’all had MacGuyver put that minifridge into Hulk.
Have you invented a new definition for "rotator" and a new use for a for "rotator?" Very nicely done.
Thank you for leaving in the mistake cut 🥺 I just have a rollback but was worried about the weight of the engine and cab rotating and pivoting like that. I'm glad no one (or no thing) was hurt
Once again PEPE this why you all are one of the best out there
Loved the way you unhooked the tractor, what a nice clean job. Super nice job to watch,sorry for the heat, fall is coming soon.
Another great job Josh...nice to watch the video...Stay safe
Once again an AWESOME job Josh. Dad looking good and so does Enrique. Take care guys this weather can put you down fast. Mucho suero. Great seeing Hulk again and I loved seeing him in night hours cause of the green color and my favorite color at that. Take good care of your dad Josh.
Done like a choreographed dance......you guys and your videos are so entertaining to watch. Your customer care is top notch.....I would hope none of your tows complain about care, but sure that they do....Thanks Josh for the great video..

Fantastic job, Josh, Dad and Enrique and all the other guys! The heat must be so draining. Fortunately, we've just had a few days over 100 (so far) here in the Panhandle of Nebraska.
Estoy muy contenta, porque veo a pepe, me da emocion ver a ti mijo y a tu papa verlos juntos trabajando. Que Dios me los cuide. Me abrazos.
Sick paint job on your Truck, good work and much love from Kenya 🇰🇪
PePe Great Video Love the Blue Straps and Your Great work. on safety For all Thanks ,I Did 19 years Driving for Lincoln Towing Seattle Wa
Josh you got some happy customers! Awesome job, keep up the good work you guys are a great Team!!!!
Awesome job. Nice that you get to work with your dad and look after him a little especially in 112* weather
So knowledgeable and calm. No matter what the situation your team knows exactly what to do.
Another brilliant video illustrating how much work is needed to clear the road and from a spectators point of view here in the U.K. clearing one lane would not have been a option as the road would have been shut for hours. Thank you for sharing
My man was watching this video and I started to watch with him. Well, it's been 3 hours later and I am still watching your videos. Amazing job to you all that are involved! Thanks for sharing these incredible videos.
Once again a good job guys. I love to watch your videos. The driver of that truck should lose his driver license because of not having secured the cargo. Here in Germany (maybe whole EU) he would lose the licence a couple of months for shure. Here in Europe a driver of a truck has to do 40 hrs of school within 5 years. Main topic: securing well cargo for transport. All the best for you from Germany and always an eye to the crazy drivers on the highways.
Just found your sight and I love it. Great bunch of guys and you guys are always one step ahead. Stay safe
That was a Pepe's full floating Taco Roll .. Good work gentlemen. These guys would make for good contract customers. Make sure they know you have trucks in 11 locations throughout LA and the Inland Empire.
that was awesome .be safe out there .
Great job guys!!! 🤗💯
I pullrd tankers for 20 years and could couple the 5th wheel any time but a guy in a wrecker doing it towing a tractor?? You saw a master driver at work,
you guys are great... and i love your dad he is the man !!! he showed you the right way all around, you are very blessed as is your dad
Parabéns belicimo trabalho vocês são show equipe top. Bahia Brasil tudodebom
Textbook Pepe's recovery!! Super efficient on this one, I *LOVE* it when the Boss comes out!!
Wow wow wow glad to see Josh great job as always say hello to papi chulo JOE ❤
Josh, the banter with the customer can go a long way to at least try to lighten the mood. That's not a bad thing at all.
That was fantastic job you and your crew have done for the customer I also used to do towing in MD 👍
i do flatbed and we secure the hell out of these, thats crazy
Always remember: "FATHER KNOWS BEST," sometimes the son has good ideas also.
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota. We be lucky on this one. Hello Josh and Pops
Family talking it out. Love it
Really enjoyed this video, it just amazes me how much it takes to get these jobs done. You guys really are Top Notch...and your Pop is cool!!😊
I was curious how that tractor was going to land. A little excitement there. The communication between you and the boss is excellent. Teaching, learning and operating all the time. At 112 f you guys are getting it done. Don't sweat the lost footage. The heat gets to everyone and everything.
I like your dad not waisting time or making it difficult you must learn from him 😊
You guys rock keep putting that awesome videos you guys make my day be safe out there😊😊
Great job making it upright. Insane driving off with a load like those rolls without securing them properly with straps to the floor!!! What a big risk recipe for a disaster to happen!!! If that trailer didn't had point in the floor for straps, should used another trailer. A flatbed would be the most natural choice I guess
Hey my man, amazing content!! Question, what is your camera POV setup?
Great job well done guys love the video
Another fine job.
Assintindo aqui do BRASIL, Bom trabalho e Parabéns!
These air flips video are awesome,this is the sec video
Thanks for watching!
That was damn impressive to back up the wrecker with the tractor on the underlift and hook it up to the trailer in only one attempt.
I love watching you guys not seeing someone hurt you guys are awesome 👍
I thought the job was great. How do trucks tip over on straight highways? I am continually puzzled by this. Thanks for the video.
Great job Josh and legend DAD and crew love watching buddy 😊
As always team, pure pleasure to watch you all work!!!
Keep up the good work....
I wish your channel and youtube in general was around when I was younger id 100% would go become a tow operator like yourself.
Another great vid. I wish you would tell us the location. A GPS location in the description too. 😎
Hi Josh, NOT Alex (lol ... Sorry about last time) ... That driver who WrEcKeD his truck, I am sure will use tie downs next time ... Live and learn 🤔
Very nice work smooth as butter very nice 😊
I absolutely love this. This is something you wouldn't get to see or understand is you were traveling on this road.
Good job and video. Silly Volvo you can’t lay down to sleep on the freeway…. Lol
Saludos keep up the good work
I enjoy watching these videos and the hard work you guys do. Although I have 1 issue. I had to mute it cause I like sometimes when you explain things but not when you talk noon stop. I just like to concentrate on your work.
This is a great video to watch on a Saturday afternoon. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This is why you secure your load correctly.
Love that video format. I feel like I'm following you around. Let me know if I get in your way.
Don't argue with dad Josh he knows best 😊
I think you guys are the best when the Hulk is on Site.
Another awesome performance 🤓🙋♂️👍
Great job as usual. Such teamwork.
What great job ... well done #TeamPepe
very good , josh.
Great job again bye everyone as always I really appreciate your videos always do you ever do any training with Jan’s towing as always work safe
Great job really nice very professional
Nice job.
Damn - you guys are so skilled !
29:20 Hey Josh love your work, I guess I been watching too many of your videos that I consider myself an expert 🤣. I new by the way you were flipping this the front had no control of overturning, close call. 😅
What does a job like that cost? Just curious 🤔
Nice work!
All that heavy steel rolls in the front from that trailer... whats going wrong in that trailer , are the rolls walking under the road trip, or not enough or good straps ?? greetings from Hakke from the Netherlands.
Be extremely careful in the heat. In military I got heat exhaustion twice and I have not been the same. I was in my thirties then-70s now and always tried to be very cautious. But I dropped my guard down got medvaced both times. ✝️
Josh seems many roll-overs are 50' trailers. Mmaybe they should limit length of trailers
CLASS ACT LIKE ALWAY'S !!! PEPE'S THE CADILLAC OF TOWING AND RECOVERY!!!
DOT pulled up like look what we have here 👀😂😂😂
How did you come up with the idea of using the 2005 rotator body that Old Yeller had on your dad's new 2022 truck?
Seems that these 53' are a lot of the rollovers. Maybe reduce to max of 40' would solve some problem. Also, it seems poor planning of setting loads properly would help. Your thoughts.
.
Is the driver of the truck not supposed to secure the load inside the trailer? In my country (Belgium) the driver would get fined for driving around with an insecured load.
How do they roll over on flat ground I wonder from Oz 😊
First one of these where, while watching the rigging being done, I was sitting there like "Yeah... That doesn't look like a great idea.."
Fullerton south to the 60 east , azusa south to 60 east…
