Haha good catch. It's a force of habit, we take great pride in causing as little further damage as possible. On huge wrecks, it's inevitable sometimes. But we aren't like the other channels who see a recovery and have no respect for the casualty.
Here I am a 75 yr old woman getting a load of cabinet shop waste wood in my humble old manual Ranger yesterday and a big, long trailer load of lumber comes in for a delivery. What fun to move aside for the big forklift and then time to walk around and look at points on the trailer you've pointed out for this or that use. Pepe's Towing Channel should grow by leaps and bounds for so many reasons. Keep up the high standards!
That's awesome! I stay so busy with work that I wish I could devote even more time to this channel to grow, but I'm content with how organic it is and the steady climbing thanks to viewers like yourself.
"love what you do, and you'll never work a day in your life". My dad says this quote a ton and often people just say that, but we REALLY love what we do. Definitely doesn't feel like work.
Josh and Alex never get a chance to get bored with routine jobs. There's always a Joker in the deck to present a few challenges for them. Great job and some precision placement, as always.
I don't like boring tow after boring tow. Mix it up please let me operate recovery once in a while or flatbed a boat with no trailer or a dead cow or two. Mix it up. Make me use my brain once in a while. Rollback operator nor-cal.
Those are pretty easy to start. I carry a set of construction equipment jiggler keys to start all kinds of machines for when we have to transport them.
Hey Josh & ALL Crew !!! Great job of getting the machine loaded with NO more damage to the RR or machine !! 👍👍👍👍👍 Quick repairs & back to work for sure !!! 🙂🙃😉
I'm a retired train engineer and I can assure you this is not that unusual of an occurrence. I hit a fork lift once at fairly low speed and it flipped the machine around 180 degrees with the operator in it. He was actually mad that I hit him, like he had a right to cross the tracks without looking for a train. Turns out the crossing was not legal and the railroad showed up with an excavator the next day and ripped it out. Another great video. Nice work !
Excellent video! Combining the two things I love. Recovery and railfaning! Speaking of railfaning I regularly watch videos on what's called "Street Running Trains". There are towns and cities where locomotives run down the streets of the town, Lagrange, Ky is one example..... I can just imagine living where a locomotive comes through your town on a daily basis. Of course there have been bone headed accidents...... 🤦 Keep up the good work.
11:00 - yep don’t want to scratch the paint after being hit by a moving train. 😂 (no worries, I know you guys never try to add any additional damage to something)
can we all take a minute to appreciate the art on those train cars... like dont get me wrong vandalism is bad but I wish train company's would be willing to set some cars aside to be painted by street guys (i know there's more to it than that but still)
Quite often I do go out and do some Rail Fanning and see so many really stupid things. Where so many people think that they can play chicken and win. TRAINS WILL ALWAYS WIN!!!! no matter what.
I’m a highly impressed how you guys consistently use the drone to videotape for insurance purposes and it’s also very interesting to see how you recover these vehicles
Wow Josh is slowly morphing into the dad bod lol and Alex cut his gorgeous hair 🥲 I decided to watch from the begining episodes so I’m just now seeing Josh and Alex 4 years later 😂❤❤❤❤ I love watching this. I’ve learned so much from both Josh and Alex. Amazing to me honestly. I impressed on the skills and knowledge instilled in these guys. I haven’t seen any other tow company like Pepe’s. I also love that Josh is always planning his moves carefully and methodically then executing successfully. I hope some day you’ll created another new theme two truck that’d be so cool!! P.s. ppl think I’m weird cause I’m a woman and love watching towing for a couple of hours and day. Need to catch up lol
Very good video, I really enjoyed it. You and Alex got it all handled and it looks like you were working with a great crew of guys. By the way……Jeffery looks like he might have a migraine!! Thanks!😊
Bro, Love the content, just subscribed! I saw Pepe's hauling out a couple of behemoth homeless RVs in Santa Monica on another channel, it was great! The mayor of LA is telling everybody the reason they can't move the RV encampments is because the city doesn't have any heavy tow haulers! Is Pepe's getting the contract for that work? You guys would have a full card for a year just getting rid of ALL the broken-down RVs littering the streets of LA! Pepe's seems like the only shop that could get that work done fast and efficiently! Hope to maybe see some of that content in the future!
Pepe's lead guys Alex & Josh put on clinics for other recovery operators every time they go on jobs. They're thorough, explain what's going on, and are experts in rigging. I learn a lot about cabling from them, for my work in elevated boom lifts doing tree removal. Thank you, guys. 🤙👍
Love your videos, just a quick question, you leave that machine hanging while waiting for a mechanic, that seems like a lot of unnecessary stress on your hydraulic system and rigging, wouldn't it be better to set it down while waiting?
essrtE-in's In Kingre Really Interesting. I wish I could see the front of the train. Probably a disaster. The guy who talked about two rotators has a channel with 3 subscribers. I sense jealousy. The drone video was excellent. I wish I hadn't slept through optics so I could understand the distortion of wide angle lenses. Thanks always for the video. All the stuff before Really is done for me somehow.
Well that was a wild one. Alex was so smooth on that he'd make it good brain surgeon. Steak and lobster on the railroad guys. None them looked like they missed any meals.
Another efficient and competent job by Pepe's. Thanks for video. 04:47 - About how much does one snatch-block-and-hook assembly weigh? I don't think you fellows need to go the gym for workouts!
Great recovery but how in the world does a Skylift get to be on or near the train tracks when a train is due. Looks like a serious lack of communication. Hope no one was injured. Thanks for sharing your work. Following from Sydney Australia.
Joe is primarily a tower. He's there when we need his wrecker or a Landoll if he isn't busy. Alex and I operate the rotators and the ones who record hence why it's always us
2:42 “but what do I know, I’m just a UA-camr.” That’s funny because I’m an automotive master technician and I constantly say “but what do I know, I’m just a stupid oil change guy” as a joke haha.
Hey Guys … love the channel , can’t get enough . Have you guys ever tried using headsets to communicate on scene ? Not saying you guys have miscommunications, but just for convenience
Trains always win. It doesn’t matter what you’re driving. Sadly too many people today think the world is nothing more than a GTA game. Pretty sad, it’s looks like a brand new tractor. Came very close to putting the sky crane into the side of the rotator during the initial lift. Bet the booty puckered a little when the swing inwards toward the truck started.
While the chain is broken to retract boom, they should have been able to push it in with loader, or rig up winch line to pull it in...could have eliminated need to remove forks. But ya got er done! Nice equipment.

I've got my top 5 video's from 3 years now. No end in site for Pepe,s towing.
I was wondering why your crew wear dark uniforms, especially in the L.A. area. Dark colors absorb heat more than light colors.
@@slimwantedman6694 what are your top 5?
@@murrayparr3244 because pink was taken 😂
Of course we Love CRACRA stuff!
I love it. The telehandler was hit by a train and smashed to pieces and you guys are worried about scratching the paint!!! Now that is conscientious.
Haha good catch. It's a force of habit, we take great pride in causing as little further damage as possible. On huge wrecks, it's inevitable sometimes. But we aren't like the other channels who see a recovery and have no respect for the casualty.
You're not supposed to damage it any worse than it already is
Professionalism commitment to doing quality work regardless of the situation. That is awesome. People need to watch this and learn from it
Tell that to my "competition" lol
You don't have competition if they don't have respect

And that's why people love my channel. We are very blessed and proud to handle LA's biggest and hardest wrecks
@@PepesTowingService Plenty of variety keeps life interesting. Any call out is better than being stuck behind a desk, right?
You make hard work seem easy and fun. Really enjoy watching you guys at work.

My new favorite channel! So damn fascinating how everything comes together. Thanks for your hard work, Team Pepe
Thank you! Glad my lil niche channel is getting some love
Looks like a brand new unit. Quite sad. Great job as always!
Josh and Alex another awesome job! Looks like Alex got a haircut! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
We here in Canada are very impressed with your talent, patients,and it's not rocket science driving a train.
Thank you!
I like the boom cam. 😅 We need to see more of it!!
Thank you! I don't use this camera enough and man is it cool
Great recovery once again by the A team Josh + Alex! I wonder who left the keys in the Telehandler? That person cost their company mega bucks!
Those are pretty easy to start. I carry a set of construction equipment jiggler keys to start all kinds of machines for when we have to transport them.
Nice work as usual Alex, it might be a good time to hit the boss up for a raise!!
Nice try Alex 😂
Y’all are the best at this stuff!!👍👍
Nice cleat image. Nice filming.
Nice job guys Keep up the good work
This was great video Josh and Alex. Josh had crazy angles shot from the drone. Good work guys.
Fantastic job rotating the unbalanced load of the boom being extended! Stay Safe Guys
Thanks 👍
Insurance Company: It got hit by a what!!!
Hope they had Farmers
Hey Josh & ALL Crew !!! Great job of getting the machine loaded with NO more damage to the RR or machine !! 👍👍👍👍👍 Quick repairs & back to work for sure !!! 🙂🙃😉
Mr Josh You and your crew made that look easy. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
Great work guys!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Buenas tardes, Alex,Josh, otro gran trabajo, bonitas imágenes con el dron.❤👍👏🖐️💪🇪🇦. Jesús.
Gracias por ver
Every time I watch your videos, you constantly up your game. Well done!!❤
Thank you! That's the goal, to never be complacent and always improve so we can tackle these big jobs with ease and safety.

Another crazy call for a telehandler
Your company is extremely talented.😊
Great job
Amazing what you guys go threw I am glad I can watch what u guys do I live in utah and I still think amazing
really enjoy your videos I,m an old 81yrs wrecker driver nothing like the equipment you have.
The Telehandlers are becoming just as frequent as rolled containers lately. lol
For reals they're in season now
Great recovery by you both....You work great together.....Stay safe and see you on the next one
Insane job--one of the best yet!
Some of those jobs just take for ever. Great work boys. Keep it up 👍

For when the sky meets the track, get a Skytrak.
you do a Very good job i am glad that the train crew and the rail road worker are safe
Love the work guys great recovery
Nice work. No extra scratches or dents. The train took care of that job. That excavator was a handy addition to the team.

Railroad worker was an artist with that claw!
Yup, he was surgical
Glad to see Geoffrey Head. He's a dependable head. He keeps showing up for work.
Thanks for another great video! I like that hi-vis green hardhat - any chance you could share the make/model or a web URL for it? Thanks!
Oh man I don't even know where I got this one! But I specifically got it because of the visor. It comes in handy when you use cutting equipment
The camera angle starting 57:40 is really fun good job
You guys are awesome!!👍👍

Man you almost need a Century M100 for these types of jobs! Incredible work!
Props to Alex, good job my brother!!
Telehandlers, the flavor of the month !
Haha for reals, and this isn't even all of them!
1st time view from the UK. Now a subscriber 😊😊
Awesome job guys.
I'm seeing a trend here😂! this is like 4 in a row with tele-handlers!
I like how Alex was careful backing over the curb, so as not to damage the tires... Ron...

Thank you sir, really appreciate it and hope the best for your career
Josh why did you go with a pusher axle for Hulk and a tag axle for Big Flipper?
Because flipper doesn't tow. It's designed for maximum recovery capabilities and to do that it needs to turn better than the other trucks
@@PepesTowingService. Ok. Thanks Josh.
Love your videos, just a quick question, you leave that machine hanging while waiting for a mechanic, that seems like a lot of unnecessary stress on your hydraulic system and rigging, wouldn't it be better to set it down while waiting?

It's always jealousy and ignorance. People like that are sheep lol. And thank you! Felt nice to concentrate on the drone while Alex did his thing
I hate backing over curbs, most of the time it rips off the mud flaps
That's what a spotter is here for or you can use wood
@PepesTowingService usually I forget, or to much of a hurry
@Bryan-FAA-certified we've all done it lol myself included
Really strong machine..
Right! It took some DAMAGE but what a solid machine to still look this good after a hit by a train. I was expecting it to be torn in half lol
Team perfect 👍🏼💪🏼
I find your channel very interesting. Always something different
Well that was a wild one. Alex was so smooth on that he'd make it good brain surgeon. Steak and lobster on the railroad guys. None them looked like they missed any meals.
👍 keep up these awesome videos I love watching your videos
Hello Josh,
Hey man, it looks like you have a catapeler on your upper lip. 😂😂😂
Love the videos, keep up the good work, Alex also.
Did someone steal the telehandler and put it on the tracks on purpose? They got tired of putting pennies on the tracks?
Парни отлично работаете ювелирно и чётко. Успехов в работе. 👍🔥🤝😉
Love the vids.. esp when excavator operator comes in clutch.. Pepe's is a dream team.. well oiled..
Forget Range Rovers. They will break your heart, and your bank.
Another efficient and competent job by Pepe's. Thanks for video.
04:47 - About how much does one snatch-block-and-hook assembly weigh? I don't think you fellows need to go the gym for workouts!

Great recovery but how in the world does a Skylift get to be on or near the train tracks when a train is due. Looks like a serious lack of communication. Hope no one was injured. Thanks for sharing your work. Following from Sydney Australia.
Can you do a review on how the remote works on 88
You move the levers that corresponds with the boom functions. Would be a 69 second boring video.
Josh,remember the old lady saying,where is the beef,where is the Joe,when are we going to see the THREE AMIGOS.
Joe is primarily a tower. He's there when we need his wrecker or a Landoll if he isn't busy. Alex and I operate the rotators and the ones who record hence why it's always us
Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, and Martin Short?
Train cars = mobile graffiti canvases.
Hulk is prettier, but Big Flipper is a brute. Powerful recovery trucks.
Big Flipper is 25 tons stronger than Hulk.
Josh,…. Big Flipper ‘n Alex, America’s premiere recovery team.
Cant you secure it to the deck then use the cable to pull the extension in?
