@Plaza Towing more than two years of waiting... see your comment "Teamwork! I want in on the next one!" in ua-cam.com/video/rDUfe4wob8U/v-deo.html 'Fuel tanker explosion aftermath - Recovery with Rotators'
@@kevingray7917 I hear you on Trent getting his edumacation. LOL As as the editing part goes I follow a few truck drivers who post on a daily basis and do all that from their trucks. Justin from Justtruckin page does that and sometimes when he is waiting to get his trailer loaded does a live feed. His videos are around 30+ minutes.
Me too. Good channels. It would be awesome if Pepe's could collaborate with another fun channel and another one of my other favorites, Sumter Wrecker,........from South Carolina. Of course that would mean having to meet somewhere in Oklahoma😂😂😂😂
Never thought I would see a collaboration between these two excellent companies, but YES! Here we are! Sure is nice to see you guys work together, a solution that is best for the customer, and a lot of fun for us viewers that enjoy both of your channels👍😊
It's always nice to see Pepe's and Plaza acknowledge each other on their respective channels. But it is more than one could have ever hoped for to see you both working together! Now if we could ever get Ron Pratt out to CA.........lol
Love your helper riding with you Josh and that was some cool music and Thanks For the ride along to the job… That’s insane traffic you have to deal with… Would of never of guess that it was that bad if it wasn’t for the video ride along you provided… Now I have a good respect for what we deal with here compared to you all out west have to deal with… MAN…!!!!! Love those Glasses too…!!! Thanks for the link to Plaza Towing too Josh…! Just subscribed…! Nice teamwork too btw…!
Just recently found your channel and subscribed, so I’m early on this one. Your willingness to involve Plaza, especially to listen to Darl, and coordinate an excellent recovery speaks highly of your integrity. I will probably come back to this video after a while as I find the armchair “quarterbacks” quite amusing. I’ve lived in your area all my life and figure I’ve logged more than a half million miles over 6 decades, mostly on LA’s freeways. My dad drove a tank truck for Union Oil out of Wilmington. He retired with 35 years and a clean record. No accidents for either of us. Careful, defensive driving does pay off. I’m not sure why this “old lady” finds your videos so fascinating, but thank you for the entertainment.
Diane, I appreciate your words 100%... "Your willingness to involve Plaza, especially to listen to Darl, and coordinate an excellent recovery speaks highly of your integrity."
I love watching both of you and to get this extra special treat of Pepe's and Plaza working together on a job has me Very Happy!!! THANKS! for that great call to Pepe's and for taking the job when it had been turned down ... until You all. Extra Special video guys!!!!
In my opinion 2 of the 3 best tow companies on UA-cam. Always love watching your videos along with plaza towing. Always love seeing the professionalism between 2 companies in the same industry. Keep up the great work and videos. You always seem like you have the latest and greatest accessories for your job. How are things progressing with Dave’s truck? Be safe out there.
Josh, the respect you give Plaza...even putting their logo in the thumbnail, yep I can confidently say two of UA-cams best towing and recovery companies coming together is a treat here!
See my first question is what wonderful people were leasing that bus! You know it had to be a big name! You can tell that by the fact that they were gone when the recovery came to be. But as always you and Plz towing did a fantastic job! I hope someone got some good footage of that gorgeous sunset!
Nice job as always guys! It was a 4 hour drive for you, fun fact: if you drive 4 hours in my country (the Netherlands) you drive through the entire country with 1 hour spare :P
I worked for lessors and came to know Prevost as a favorite upscale coach leased by coach tour companies and private concerns; a premier and respected manufacturer. Great job from Pepe's and Plaza on a recovery and ultimate tow; you are the exclusive companies I subscribed to for any recovery and tow work, period.
Hey Josh & Darl !! Great recovery with ""both'' working together as saw that you were using "headsets " to keep in touch with one another !! Left lower side of the rig took a pretty good hit when it went over the curb , but that's fixable !! Hope they didn't tear up the motor when the oil pan was torn out !! Have a good week & Thanks again for videoing & sharing !! ""KEEP IT SAFE ""!!
Great team work, brilliant video we complain about 3 lanes of slow traffic on M4 South Wales 🏴 thanks for sharing from a damp autumn night in Swansea 🏴
Plaza, Matt's Off Road Recovery, Sumter Wrecker, Ron Pratt, Hill Auto Body & Towing just a few of my favorite YouTUbe towing channels we like to watch, among this one.
A little tip. Next time you have to drag like at the end, throw down some oil dry around the tire. It will break the surface tension between the tire and the road and will slide a lot easier. Great job guys.
I loved the drive video . I miss California, miss the sun , miss all the freeways and I even miss the traffic 😂😂😂. Great recovery and awesome teamwork too 👍
I did heavy towing and recovery back in the ‘80’s and 90’s. Towing companies were spiteful to one another. Good to see cooperation these days. Miss the challenge each job brings. Modern equipment has created exceptional operational possibilities. Love the new “Rotator” equipment.
Its great seeing both Plaza and Pepes working together in harmony...like a well oiled machine. I was thinking it would have been Trent Jr behind the wheel...it would be cool see the same job from his POV. I thoroughly enjoy both of your channels...top notch crews all around. No worries about not commenting as you went Josh...keeping the customers rig in good shape w/o further damage is job one for you guys. Stay safe out there guys :-)
Dude Sonetics headsets are wicked expensive but worth it! We just got to use another company’s here in Portland doing an airbag and rotator rollover last week. Having great comms(no yelling back and forth) and hearing protection is WORTH IT. My boss immediately ordered a set. Plus they’re here in Portland, so west coast company!
Fantastic teamwork, tough job trying to avoid more damage. The only traffic I saw today was 1 car and 1 truck that I slowed down when I returned 2 three hundred pound calves that escaped from the farm across the road. Made my money in the city and got the hell out of there.
At about the 7:13 mark, the title of the video gives away who you called to help for the job. Was half expecting to see Trent Jr. get out of the rotator which would have been fun to see. Great video and collaboration regardless.
Great work guys, awesome to see both trucks work a job! I’ve seen Ron Pratt tow a bus and it was a nasty job, mainly due to the fact I think the suspension had failed… or something, so getting the under-reach under the bus was initially super tight. But anyways, keep up the great work!
I started following Midwest Truck with Ron Pratt, then added Plaza towing and finally Pepe's. I had not seen a rotator in my area until last month when I started seeing them in the wild. (North of Colorado Springs, CO) I don't know the name of the company and obviously don't know if they have youtube channel(s).
Cool video, great teamwork and job well done!! I've heard a few times that those things are PAIN to tow let alone recover!! I would like to have seen how those bus bars work to hook up but, it's all good!
I think that's maybe one of the jobs you would really struggle to do without damage using the old fixed boom trucks, but the rotators really make the difference in getting it out cleanly. Many of the jobs, the rotators make it easier, but I think they greatly reduced damage potential in this case. Nice to see the pair of you working together.
Great to see you guys have the curtesy and professionalism to ride in the right 2 lanes in your rigs. I see more and more Rigs - even dual trailer Big Rigs out in the number 3 and 4 lanes these days, seems worse after the recent "virus" slow months.
Great to see you & Plaza working together. Long time in the making, hope to see it more? Darl is pretty good, Trent has said he's been in the towing industry for several years! Would have been interesting to see Trent show up, but he's pretty busy😊 great video, those buses & expensive motorhomes would be a job to tow, not to mention watching out so you don't do any more damage to them. Plaza is used to working in that sand you were talking about😂😂 I know Ron Pratt with Midwest Truck in Missouri doesn't tow buses or motorhomes with his rotator, he has a truck he says is better to tow them with, just like you said. How are the repairs going on Dave's rotator, hopefully you got everything worked out with insurance after that container hit it a few weeks ago?
Always a pleasure working with you guys! Thanks for the call

Love watching Trent's videos but he hasn't been posting them as often as he used to. He needs to teach Darl how to do it.

What?! No fair! Why weren't we invited?! lol
It was so neat to see when Plaza pulled up to assist. I so enjoy both of your channels.
Me too. Good channels. It would be awesome if Pepe's could collaborate with another fun channel and another one of my other favorites, Sumter Wrecker,........from South Carolina. Of course that would mean having to meet somewhere in Oklahoma😂😂😂😂
@@willb3018 I am glad you mentioned Sumpter wrecker. I really enjoy their videos as well.
I need to look up Sumpter's!! Right here, right now, is the first I heard of that channel. Thanks for mentioning it.
Never thought I would see a collaboration between these two excellent companies, but YES! Here we are! Sure is nice to see you guys work together, a solution that is best for the customer, and a lot of fun for us viewers that enjoy both of your channels👍😊
Yes I knew about Plaza towing first, then I found your channel. This is a great treat to see!
What a treat to have 2 of the best rotator's on UA-cam working together!!! I saw this on IG and couldn't wait for it💪😎👍〽️
Awesome seeing Plaza Towing and Pepe's towing working together !!!
It's always nice to see Pepe's and Plaza acknowledge each other on their respective channels. But it is more than one could have ever hoped for to see you both working together! Now if we could ever get Ron Pratt out to CA.........lol
Your two channels and Ron from Midwest are the normal ones I watch. Always give good information and informative dialogue

All you guys need now is Ron Pratt from Midwest Truck. Now if he had showed up it would have definitely been a surprise. 😂😂.
Growing up in L.A. and living in Arizona now I don't miss that So Cal traffic one bit. Nice job teaming up with Plaza and getting that fancy bus out!
I love watching both of you and to get this extra special treat of Pepe's and Plaza working together on a job has me Very Happy!!! THANKS! for that great call to Pepe's and for taking the job when it had been turned down ... until You all. Extra Special video guys!!!!

Josh Its awesome companies in our business can work side by side. Nice to see the respect also. Thanks for sharing and stay safe
Hey Sumter Wrecker....I deeply appreciate your jumping in here and adding to the chat. Thanks. Love you guys...too.
Two favorites collaborating. Plaza and Pepe's.
Two of the 3 tow UA-cam services I watch? Yall set the gold standard of service. Pleasure was mine watching ya work. Kudos kid!
It was fun to watch you and Plaza work together. You both have great equipment. Thanks for the Vlogs.
Josh great video! Nice to see you share a job with Plaza! Thanks for sharing. Kevin
Josh, the respect you give Plaza...even putting their logo in the thumbnail, yep I can confidently say two of UA-cams best towing and recovery companies coming together is a treat here!
Two of my favorite channels on UA-cam. Awesome to see you work together.
Good job Pepe's Towing and Plaza Towing getting that bus out of there! Good team work!
See my first question is what wonderful people were leasing that bus! You know it had to be a big name! You can tell that by the fact that they were gone when the recovery came to be. But as always you and Plz towing did a fantastic job! I hope someone got some good footage of that gorgeous sunset!

Nice recovery by the pair of you, I'm surprised there wasn't more damage to the underside when it went over the kerb into the sand.
That bus lift is also Heavy As Hell!
Great Job As Always!
Two of the best towing companies in that pary of California teaming up with each other
I figured you guys would hook up on a tow when Trent mentioned you going by in his channel last month. Good job gents!
Nice job working together! There was a beautiful sunset.
Nice to see two different companies working together successfully, if needed. Nice Job.
Good team work and a very pretty desert sunset. Thank you Josh.
I hope the owner learned his lesson that just cuz it has Cruise control doesn't mean it drives on it's own. Good job Pepe's and plaza 👍 good team work
Great job done by both companies and it was pretty cool seeing you work with Plaza Towing!
Always enjoy collaborations between channels I watch. It is nice that competitors can be professionals and team up when it makes sense.
I worked for lessors and came to know Prevost as a favorite upscale coach leased by coach tour companies and private concerns; a premier and respected manufacturer. Great job from Pepe's and Plaza on a recovery and ultimate tow; you are the exclusive companies I subscribed to for any recovery and tow work, period.
I don't know what is going on, but it looks like your hood ornament is moving in the time-lapse.
Came down here to say the same. Not sure if it's supposed to flop around like that, guessing not!
Thanks for another great video really awesome seeing 2 different companies!! And I still don't how you deal with the traffic but bravo sir
Hey Josh & Darl !! Great recovery with ""both'' working together as saw that you were using "headsets " to keep in touch with one another !! Left lower side of the rig took a pretty good hit when it went over the curb , but that's fixable !! Hope they didn't tear up the motor when the oil pan was torn out !!

Great team work, brilliant video we complain about 3 lanes of slow traffic on M4 South Wales 🏴 thanks for sharing from a damp autumn night in Swansea 🏴
I enjoy both of your channels but what I like most of Pepe’s is you do the hood tows.
Plaza, Matt's Off Road Recovery, Sumter Wrecker, Ron Pratt, Hill Auto Body & Towing just a few of my favorite YouTUbe towing channels we like to watch, among this one.
Nice recovery, hope to see you work with plaza a few more times. Great recovery peeps towing the best
Great job you two. Nice to see you working with Plaza.
Every tow is a challenge! Awesome to see tow companies working together ❤ You are all out there doing a very needed job!
Great collaboration. Nice video too. Bus must even be a bear to tow. Stay safe out there.
That was a tough one. Very entertaining and well done. Thanks!
Good job getting it done. Definitely nice to see 2 companies tackle a job together.
A little tip. Next time you have to drag like at the end, throw down some oil dry around the tire. It will break the surface tension between the tire and the road and will slide a lot easier. Great job guys.

That was awesome to see both teams working together for the first time here. Good job
Excellent Job...Now you know why other operators tell dispatch to call the best...Pepe and Plaza rule the 10.
Dude Sonetics headsets are wicked expensive but worth it! We just got to use another company’s here in Portland doing an airbag and rotator rollover last week. Having great comms(no yelling back and forth) and hearing protection is WORTH IT. My boss immediately ordered a set.
Plus they’re here in Portland, so west coast company!
Hi Josh, Looks like HULK's Hood ornament is about to fly away... LOL Great time watching you! Ron...
Good, excellent work as is always expected from these two companies. Thanks for allowing us to share on both of you guys’ experience.
One question, isn’t the rear axle a tag & front rear axle the drive? Wouldn’t it be better to rim sling the front drive axle instead?
No. The Tag axle aka Bogie was the correct way. It is in now way connected to the transmission. This way the drive axle was free to roll.
@@michaelrocker9000 Ah ok that makes sense. Thanks!!
@@michaelrocker9000 trailing the drive, it’s a tag. leading the drive it’s a bogie.
Fantastic teamwork, tough job trying to avoid more damage. The only traffic I saw today was 1 car and 1 truck that I slowed down when I returned 2 three hundred pound calves that escaped from the farm across the road. Made my money in the city and got the hell out of there.
My 2 best towing companies coming together to do the job can't ask for anything more best tow truck operates out there keep up the good work guys 👍🇦🇺
Thank you so much for bringing this video to me.
Good job guys. Yea I came to you guys from plaza towing.
U guys r always doing a great job and keep up the great work
Don''t worry about the video. You are doing a job. And a darn fine job at that. Cool to work with another youtuber. AND I appreciate the effort.
Team work is dream work. Great job fellas and keep up the hard work. #pepestowing #plazatowing #hulk
Thank you for sharing you guys make an awesome team God bless you both
Nothing wrong with a dirty vest, just proves you've been working! 😁👍
Teamwork is DreamWork! Daryl is a man of few words on camera but not so doing recovery. Must have been Trent's day to clean the office.
Man, you couldn't talk me into living in California anymore. Especially L.A.
It would have been great to see Trent on the job with Josh. I was really expecting that. 🤔😉😃
Wow I thought it was a cut throat business with no chance of collaboration. This is awesome
That was a good video from you and plaza tow eas the best video from Josh and Dar
Good recovery to you both.
great view from the cab of Hulk
What a bloody mission! I can see why everyone else rejected the job.
Good job guys👍🇺🇸😎
At about the 7:13 mark, the title of the video gives away who you called to help for the job. Was half expecting to see Trent Jr. get out of the rotator which would have been fun to see. Great video and collaboration regardless.
The collab of the century. Great video, great editing. Always killin it Josh keep it up

Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota
Cool video, great teamwork and job well done!! I've heard a few times that those things are PAIN to tow let alone recover!! I would like to have seen how those bus bars work to hook up but, it's all good!
The mash up though traffic would make a great intro for your videos
Call Ron Pratt too lol
That would be a hell of a drive.
you beat me to this comment lol
I think that's maybe one of the jobs you would really struggle to do without damage using the old fixed boom trucks, but the rotators really make the difference in getting it out cleanly. Many of the jobs, the rotators make it easier, but I think they greatly reduced damage potential in this case.
Nice to see the pair of you working together.
What a challenge. That takes skill and the right equipment. Other companies probably would of tried to pull it forward in neutral instead.
Realy enjoyed the show.
Great to see you guys have the curtesy and professionalism to ride in the right 2 lanes in your rigs. I see more and more Rigs - even dual trailer Big Rigs out in the number 3 and 4 lanes these days, seems worse after the recent "virus" slow months.
Thanks for the Chanel recommended.
you did good with plaza
Amazing video. Very cool

Very nice work 👍
That intro music on the drive out to the recovery was pretty cool !
I use to drive tour bus, VanHools and Prevost buses, and looking at this, how the hell did he get there?
Great videos, also your hood ornament wants to FLY AWAY... wiggle wiggle
