I admire Alex so much. He is so good at everything he does and makes it appear so effortless. Regarding the exit from the building, it appears to me that some work should be done to give semis more clearance when exiting.
@@PepesTowingService it looked to me like when they installed the security bollards they unintentionally created a "hill", and just like on rail crossings, it's very easy for landing gear to ground out.

Great job as always. You can tell its a government operation when they didn't have the foresight to understand a fully loaded trailer would sit lower than an empty one.
@@royparker9509 Yes obviously it's their responsibility to regrade the ramp to prevent this in the future. That's not the same as paying for truck drivers who get stuck though. The driver got himself in that position, not the government.
Love the guy on the scooter who seemed befuddled by the trailer being there. Important thing. You got the job done with your professional "light fingers"
I laughed at that too when making this video 🤣🤣🤣 I guess he was just following the sidewalk though, but it does look like he thought the trailer came out of nowhere lol
@@PepesTowingService since the sounds like it's happened before I've got this feeling it's going to keep on happening until they only allow a specific type of trailer or regrade that approach. In the interim maybe you can have a branch office down the block
It's most 2 or 3 axle armored trucks in and out, you can see them all leaving in a row after this guy gets free. But yes, they do have an issue that's happening a lot with the larger trailers
That exit reminded me of a train crossing that allows trailers to high-center the box. A cost reduction suggestion of having less of an angle when leaving the building could help them in the long run.
Yeah, I wondered for a moment why the Reserve was going to pay the recovery bill... then I was like "Duh, it's their stupid ramp causing the problems."
its like that all over california they have the most goofy exits to underground parking I have ever seen. from crazy ramp angles to planter boxes that make it so you cant see anything till your in the street
@@RandrewI doubt the fed picked up the bill here. Do cities or railroads pay when trucks get high centered on train tracks or other hills? No, the trucking company pays since their driver couldn’t navigate the hump
@@appleintosh The tow truck guy literally said his notes have the feds paying for it, and the reserve police confirmed. Cities and railroads don't pay because trucks aren't allowed on those sections. But here, it's literally the only way in and out of the reserve and the trucks are told to use it.
There's a very good chance the driver could of tied up his self leveling valve, to over extend the tractor air bags a couple inches, walked right out of there. I've personally done that a few times.
Absolutely! If the truck alone wasn't enough he could have gained a bit on the trailer too. A driver should look at where he is and think "Every other driver gets out of here without a tow truck."
@@DoubleDsDeliveries 100% correct, you can walk into a police station and just start recording. And he was very professional about it. Now if we were inside that's a different story lol
@@PepesTowingService glad he asked about the drone because again unless he's violating some city ordnance about flying over city streets the FRB police can't stop him either. They only have jurisdiction on Federal grounds.
I had the same thing happen to me at a couple of docks. I don't know how bad he's stuck but if you slide the fifth wheel all the way back you can get a little more clearance.
Looks like he had the rear trucks pulled all the way up, so he may have had all the clearance he could. (assuming the landing gear was all the way up.)
"You're not holding the brake, are you" pssssssssh, and truck rolls. BTW - the reason for all those armed cops is very simple: as long as that truck is stuck in the opening, the security of the building is at risk as they can't close off the loading dock opening or raise the streetside bollards. (plus, I'm sure, all those officers wanted to watch)

Funny enough a movie similar to that, The Italian Job, is one of my favorites! Fun fact, there is a Pepe's tow truck in that movie towards the end when Edward Norton's character is chasing the Mini Cooper :)
@@PepesTowingService sweet. I worked for Dunbar Armored our trucks were used in a few movies. If you see a Red and Black armored truck it was formerly Dunbar Armored. The biggest movie being Beverly Hills Cop 3 and Armored.
100%, but I say it's more the operator. A truly great operator can do the job in a wide array of equipment. Some people just buy a huge truck and brute force every job and it shows
I used to drive Armored Vehicles into the federal reserve building in Richmond, VA. They have en entire city block underneath the FRB building. A tractor trailer can do a 360 turn inside. This place looks so dangerous for armored cars. Its why they have to post the FRB police outside when they are coming and going. If this is happening regularly why not change the road angle to accommodate the tractor trailers?
Of course Alex is a skillful Operator of the truck and equipment, but he's also a good narrator of what he's doing. It's nice to have another person who can take a truck and camera and produce more good content for the channel.
This seems like a noble and respectable profession. You guys do good work. I became interested in this type of heavy towing after I watched Heavy Rescue 911 and Highway Through Hell on Netflix lol. I knew nothing about trucking or towing but for some reason I was really interested in those shows. Oh, Ice Road Truckers too!
Same thing happened to me. Backed into a dock, down the ramp. Got loaded and my landing gear wouldn’t clear the transition from the ramp to the level area. They had to partially unload and put wood down for me to back onto to raise my trailer, allowing me to clear the transition.
Excellent Job! Sad that everyone wants to blame/sue everyone else for an accident, or a fault of their own. ANY time your stuck and have to be pulled out, as long as it's driveable, you should consider yourself lucky.
Even though I watch a ton of these types of videos as a "white noise", it still amazes me how powerful rotator tow trucks are, just casually moving a fully laden big rig like it was a childs toy. Now of course, there is a lot of prep to do that, but still.....
This can be avoided if they stop sending trailers with skirts. More often then not, the landing gear clears these sort of humps. But the skirts NEVER do. Good job on the fix!
They give great instructions when you get there. Don't stop and move along at a good clip so your landing gear doesn't get hung up. I've been there on Flower in Los Angeles. Tight dark blind side dock too. Lol
a million dollars in singles weighs about 2200 pounds or 997 kg. you know those officers were having a better day that day other than just standing around all day bored, they had something interesting to learn and watch from. good work man. used to be an auto painter. i appreciate and understand the hard work and dangers you towers have to go through. Much respect. especially winter condition towers. let's just say it was not a few hundred grand.
It’s weird that they wouldn’t fix the approach to the loading dock after it kept happening. Also your job choice makes perfect sense after you said you were a junior champion water polo player. Main character energy.
Nice rig and well done Maybe the guy didn't understand.... Obviously had the brake on until reminded for the third time to disengage it ! Following simple instructions in important and then had to ask him to set the brakes three times after moving him. Exactly the kind of driver we need hauling around $$ millions
so you guys lifted but just wondering, wouldnt it of been a option to put logs behind the truck reverse it a bit so it got higher and then put logs infront of the trailer wheels to get it that bit of clearance? i have no towing experience but was just wondering as ive done stuff like that before when it was tight with a small trailer that had to get in the building but couldnt due to the ramps
One would think they might reason that a shorter trailer with a shorter wheel base might be a solution. Maybe a sign that says wheel base of 53 ft trailers will not fit.
Cheaper to pay regular bills to towing companies than to fix the damn driveway. Easy money. Very smart using the drone to CYA but also for your fans to see. You manage to do it all very well. Professional grade for sure.
There is a covered service road in the West End of London, behind a theatre. It has a low stone-built roof: When you enter with a full load, no problem, there's a bit of clearance, but, try to leave after unloading...... You don't think about it until it happens to you.
Bin there done that, inside an underground loading dock, once the weight was off, I pulled forward and thought it was snowing ( inside, summer?). I was scraping the insulation off the ceiling. LOL
I feel like this problem is a result of the loading bay design. The sudden angle change is just asking to get vehicles with long distances between their wheel bases stuck.
Dock was designed for 48ft and shorter. If I ever go there I'll bring some 4x4 mats to level out the hump. But 75% of my freight is forty ft containers. With a day cab.
True enough, now 53 footers and some places started experimenting with 60 footers. I worked for a company that thought 53s were fine for city P&D, Boneheads
Had that happen to me once, the best thing to do is slide the fifth wheel, lock drive wheels and rock it loose. Then take an angle to get out. I was only a month on the job, had traffic backed up and luckily some old time walked up and showed me what to do.
Wow, look at the concrete, it been scraped so many times. One would think they would spend the money to fix that spot. For those wondering, it usually coins that are loaded out, hence only a few guards. I have done a load like that, no escort, no guards, nothing. That is due its heavy and low value.
Hey do you ever use these round LED flashing lights they have out now. I mean you can get them and they have four or five different flashing modes I bought a pack of eight and gave them to my son to put in his car and they have magnets and stuff on them and they show up pretty good at night but I was wondering how well they would work on the side of the road or anything. I just wanted to see what maybe a tow truck driver would think about them
That's why I love including the setup. I always say we make it look easy, but it's still technically a lot of risk and lots can go wrong if we don't rig right.
Of course Alex is a skillful operator of the truck and equipment, but he's also a good narrator of what he's doing. It's nice to have another person who can take a truck and camera and produce more good content for the channel.

There is a covered service road in the West End of London, behind a theatre. It has a low stone-built roof:
When you enter with a full load, no problem, there's a bit of clearance, but, try to leave after unloading......
You don't think about it until it happens to you.
Bin there done that, inside an underground loading dock, once the weight was off, I pulled forward and thought it was snowing ( inside, summer?). I was scraping the insulation off the ceiling. LOL
Awesome job, hope i never need your service. Good to know your out there!
Just found your channel. Love the vids and your truck organization
I feel like this problem is a result of the loading bay design. The sudden angle change is just asking to get vehicles with long distances between their wheel bases stuck.
Can't this be avoided with appropriate load limits or weight distribution?
Wow Pepe’s towing setting the standard with this, holy cow very impressive work. This guy better be getting paid good if not he deserves a major raise
Dock was designed for 48ft and shorter. If I ever go there I'll bring some 4x4 mats to level out the hump.
But 75% of my freight is forty ft containers. With a day cab.
True enough, now 53 footers and some places started experimenting with 60 footers. I worked for a company that thought 53s were fine for city P&D, Boneheads
That fridge is awesome! Haha
Easy great job well done say hi to papi chulo JOE ❤
He says hi 😂
Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota
Love watching a rotator in action
Helluva way to pop your relatively new tractor-trailer's cherry, but an excellent job by Pepe's crew, as usual!
The first pop is the best 😂
Had that happen to me once, the best thing to do is slide the fifth wheel, lock drive wheels and rock it loose. Then take an angle to get out. I was only a month on the job, had traffic backed up and luckily some old time walked up and showed me what to do.
Discount the airbag level valve linkage and raise you tractors airbags
Wow, look at the concrete, it been scraped so many times. One would think they would spend the money to fix that spot. For those wondering, it usually coins that are loaded out, hence only a few guards. I have done a load like that, no escort, no guards, nothing. That is due its heavy and low value.
Nice rig brother!
Great job as always
Good Work Pepe 😎
Another awesome performance 🤓🙋♂️👍
great job Alex.....
Hey do you ever use these round LED flashing lights they have out now. I mean you can get them and they have four or five different flashing modes I bought a pack of eight and gave them to my son to put in his car and they have magnets and stuff on them and they show up pretty good at night but I was wondering how well they would work on the side of the road or anything. I just wanted to see what maybe a tow truck driver would think about them
Making it look easy as usual.
That's why I love including the setup. I always say we make it look easy, but it's still technically a lot of risk and lots can go wrong if we don't rig right.
Another great one PePe
i really appreciate the skill level
