Yet another rollover in one of the biggest hot spots for accidents, the Harry Bridges off-ramp on the 110 freeway. I responded with myself in Hulk and Joe in Big Flipper to handle the loaded container. The customer was able to bring a good chassis for us to put the container on, so I positioned both rotators to allow a clean upright that allowed the chassis to back up underneath the container once in the air.
Big Flipper was positioned in the front to lift and catch off the side while Hulk backed up to the container to lift and catch from the rear. Joe is still in training for recoveries so this one was a bit slower than usual as I walked him through the process.
Overall we got the job done quick and efficient as always! Be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook to see our daily recoveries and more pictures of The Hulk and Big Flipper where I post content regularly.

Hey Pepe's towing service! Thanks for keeping LA freeways moving despite those truckers who corner too fast! Ride ride ride!

@PepesTowingService 4 года назад

You got it, that's what we're here for!

@silentepsilon888 4 года назад

that was a smooth roll aside from that little slide the container did. But when you said 'it wasn't perfect .....' I couldn't help thinking that even your 'not perfect' roll is a whole lot smoother and better than what other towing companies deliver as their standard

@PepesTowingService 4 года назад

I learned to be "smooth" from my father. Everything I do in my videos I learned from him, and still have many years to catch up. We are big on not letting anything slam over, that's why sometimes we use two trucks where most people complain that it could have been done with one. Yes, but a lot of those "one truck" guys slam everything over very messy with no catch. Regardless, thank you for the compliment!

@jerrykinnin7941 4 года назад

I pull containers. Imports are notorious for weighing more than the BOL says. SOLAS helped but it's still a think to look for. And check the kingpin to see if it's still in spec. I had an empty chassis jump out of a locked 5th wheel once.

@wendy833 4 года назад

I worked safety at System-TWT Transport 12k front tractor axle weight, 20k each axle after that. Dude didn't have a clue on his weight for transport. Plus he probably didn't even grease his 5th wheel which caused the trailer to drive the tractor at that speed. Driver caused accident isn't going to go well on his MVR score. Great rescue, I enjoy watching these flips and great drone footage.

@MC-us5jq 4 года назад

Nice video! I knew right away that the driver misunderstood you when you asked for the weight. 72k was probably his total GCW. 72k of load in a 40' container alone is impossible, but even if that was the weight of the combined container, chassis and load, it would have required a 4 axle tractor and 3 axle chassis to legally comply with the bridge weight formula.

@PepesTowingService 4 года назад

You would be shocked at what I see. A lot of these runners grossly over pack these containers, then they wonder why they flip. Then they don't let you open the container for "legal" reasons and never have the right paperwork.

@bgmckddy 4 года назад

Job well done and video very well done!! There will definately be an issue with returning that chassis!!

@wideslammer 4 года назад

Another nice example of the kind of teamwork that is common with Pepe's Towing Service. Joe is obviously a capable employee or you wouldn't have him handling your biggest truck. I'm guessing he worked with one of your "straight boom" trucks (I'm not sure of the correct term to use.) before taking over Big Flipper.

@PepesTowingService 4 года назад

Joe's assigned truck is a 50ton wrecker, he's a great tower and is shaping up to be a good recovery guy too

@wideslammer 4 года назад

@@PepesTowingService OK -- I wasn't making a distinction between towing and recovery work. Of course, the doing recovery work requires much more planning than what is typical for a tow. I'm sure Joe will do well with the added responsibilities.

@donotneed2250 4 года назад

I've seen too many that have come off or rolled over because they were too top heavy. The places they come from don't have the same load requirements as the U.S. and therefore containers are usually overloaded and if the driver does not understand or respect that this is what happens.

@richfreedom6577 4 года назад

The Hulk could do the whole job by himself they can handle it but sometimes it's safer to use two trucks I've seen Rotator to do it just one truck just fine though it is nice to see different ways of it being done thanks for the video keep the good work up

There's no 70,000 in a can that was on a 2-axle chassis. I think that guy meant his gross weight was 70. The most I've ever seen inside a can was 72,000 and it needed a four-legger.

@notafuckinpplperson8233 4 года назад

Stan Patterson you would be surprised man. we used to hand stack cases of water in 40'. stuffed! not sure of weight but it's def heavier than most loads. if i could remember how many cases went into a 40' i could give you the weight, unfortunately i don't remember. oh and this was all done on 2 axle trailers

@stanpatterson5033 4 года назад

I know that the can itself can handle that sort of weight, but people with reasonable intelligence don't send 70,000 lb loads up the road on a 2-axle trailer or chassis. Can 2 axles handle it? Maybe, but not for long. Sooner or later, the weakest link is going to let go, whether it's a tire or two, the suspension, the wheel bearings... and if you get going with that sort of weight and suddenly need brakes, that's just not enough braking to bring you to a stop quick enough or short enough. It's your business if you just want to use a 2-axle trailer for storage or cartage on your own property, but taking ridiculously overweight loads out on the public roads or highways is going to bite you one day. You just want to hope it doesn't involve death.
