Container falls off semi on freeway

- Container fal of semi on freeway! Back with another assist for our buddy Jonas at Kutom tow. His customer needed the assistance of our rotator due to the space so we sent Alex in Big Flipper, our 75ton rotator.
This is for sure a job that could be done with a wrecker, but in very limited capacity. First, this is a 2 lane ramp. If you get in front of it to lift, then how does the semi back up under? And there is not enough room to T-bone it at a good angle. Possible, sure, but a ton more time and risk. The rotator is king to just show up, park, and get the job done fast.
So fast, that this video is not even 20 minutes, but quick clearance is our specialty! What do you guys think? And if you REALLY want to support your favorite tow channel, become a member here: / @pepestowingservice

Legends say Jonas is still running away with the ladder.
hahahaha
😂 😂😂
Jonas is becoming quite the guest star ..when not running away with the ladder 😂
LOL!! He was trying SO hard to help Alex!!!
Hey Jonas!! Bring the ladder back 😂
Really Alex not all of PEPE'S fans are gentlemen 😂 some of us are ladies ❤
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣 hey Alex, you heard the ladies Bro
Don't leave me stranded Bro!
I was just going to say that!
I was thinking what else he could say. People don't like guys, I dislike bud and bro... ladies and gentlemen is too long. Fans is OK, there's folks and people...Or just say Hi everybody... lol.
That's right 😂
Alex, Alex, Alex...Two videos in a row you start with, "Hello gentlemen." There are ladies who are addicted to your channel, too! Great recovery, btw.
Ya Alex, you heard the ladies
oops sorry
Alex is so a professional and more than a gentleman 👍
Great job Alex always kind and courteous. Keep up the great work ✌️
This Is The Legendary PEPE'S Crew Handling Things The way They Should Well Done Alex!!!!!
Never heard about the thing with the 3 links touching. Learned something new. Thanks :)
Alex great video, you’re a class act, you treat people like you like to be treated, with respect! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
The driver left the scene WOW
I guess they call that a drop and run 😂
Drug test has left the chat 😂
Another perfect save by Alex! Congrats!
You guys getting more container calls feel like it's too easy now. Great job and another amazing video.
The scariest 6 words you hear: "We always do it that way" Great Video. Those tiny nuts must be a pain. I would need a pocket full to make up for drops. I suspect Josh is extremely busy with admin. Thanks for the video, both of you.
A nice clean job Alex, the right equipment for the right job!
I feel like when I drive I dont want to be anywhere near containers or semi's..love this channel Josh and Alex! I have watched alot of your videos and I love how you're teaching as you work and how well y'all work together!
Container wasn’t the issue. The whole trailer came off the truck. It could have happened with any type of trailer. Guy either had a faulty fifth wheel or more likely, he hooked up and didn’t ensure that the fifth wheel properly engaged and hooked around the king pin and it wasn’t 100% locked in.
I get that the container wasn't the issue. Josh has many videos of accidents with containers not being loaded right or if they were loaded right, they end up being in accidents. I just keep out of their way on the road and give them the go ahead if they need to get in my lane by flashin my lights. The cool part is when i get flashing lights back lol..I have mad respect for truck drivers.
@@bendingneedles I always like when people give a light flash. It’s hard to tell a lot of times if someone is holding back to let you over or if they’re just not paying attention. I’ve had times where they held back and ended up finally flashing their lights after a moment because they realized I couldn’t tell what they were doing and other times I’ve had people holding back and as soon as I went to change lanes, that’s when they decided they wanted to zoom zoom down the highway so I’m always cautious of cars.
Thank you Joshua for another great video and Alex
For
The recording
That was to funny, Joanus taking off with the ladder. 😂
Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota
I was wondering when we would get another container video. Good job! Thanks!
Easy Pease is nice and easy. 👍 Alex.
My area had a rare heavy call the other day. A mobile home was tipped over into an intersection during a turn. Blocked the whole intersection. I think it was a two hour clean up.
07:45 - now I know where I can get my old Volkswagen repaired
I didn’t know what you were talking about until towards the end.
Jonas is being so sweet trying to help you out Alex with that ladder.
Buen trabajo , Alex, un buen ayudante con la escalera, un saludo, bonito video.❤🖐️👍👏💪🇪🇦. Jesús.
We thank you for work well done
I like how none of these driver stretch the trailers just listen to hear the king pin latch & then can’t figure out why the trailer is on the ground lol
Easy peasy..or so you make it look Alex. Nice job 👊
Jonas was about to leave you high & dry! 🤣
Good quick job! Good video!! Nice job!!
Driver got off easy, private rate and no CHP. That container was up and gone before they knew it was even there. Nice work.
No problem, they fall off ships every day 😅😅😅
Great job Alex keep safe out there
Wow what an easy one that was so so easy Say hello to papi chulo 🌹 JOE ❤️
Another great recovery-expect nothing less w/ Big Flipper/Alex!!! Thing I will never understand-when working a scene like this on the highway-why does the truck driver constantly keep getting out of the truck?? Why??
In the towing business many years--I would always tell the driver--'Just stay in the truck unless I need you--I'll tell you what to do--'outside on the ground-you are just another safety hazard-that I have to watch out for.....Geez!!
GOOD JOB ALEX! SALUDOS DESDE ENSENADA!!!
Seen that happen at NS Sharonville once. He BLOCKED the whole access road in and out. Drove off. Got back to his company yard asked for another load. Came back out his boss was peeling the companies stickers off the truck.
Good job! Very knowledgeable. 😊
War wieder Klasse Grüße aus Deutschland 👍👍👍
Now I know how you create potholes in the USA! 😂
Another awesome performance 🤓🙋♂️👍
Another great recovery , however it would have been an idea to check the adjustment of the trailer's kingpin jaws. In all probability, it could fall off the tractor's fith wheel again! 😢
Nice work clean and smooth
Jonas was gonna take your ride and leave you on the box 😂😂
Lucky he didn't jack up the kingpin when he hit ground. Of course, you wonder whether it was a worn undersize kingpin or failure of the fifth wheel plate that let it drop off in the first place.
@7:05 he was like “hey man where you going” 😂😂😂😂
Keep the videos coming, we going to stop by and see you guys one day where we make the cross country trip from Virginia
I love watching your videos
Nice job!
Great job😊😊
they need you at the key bridge in baltimore
Heck yeah!
Rotators don’t float 😂
@@SuperBobblehead77 neither do the cranes they use barges or you never heard of pontoons so sorry superbobbahead
1000 ton capacity is a little over what a rotator can do. These guys are good but can’t touch that capacity sorry
Easy peezy. I think I saw Jonas carrying that ladder in a Walmart in Beverly Hills.......
VW shop down the side 😎😎😎😎
Damn, no cops/chp?? Driver got lucky.
Hey Josh & Alex !! This video must of had been made B/4 Jonas got his ""Tator ?? 🤔🙄 Great work with the ""Finger Pinching "" Ladder !! 🤠😎😮
Super quick and easy with Big Flipper. Though I guess you'd need to do a lot of these to pay for the rotator! Could the other tow not do anything, so they passed it to Pepe's? I get a little confused by these ones where other tows are on scene.
I was impressed the fifth wheel pin still worked. Clearly that wasn't what failed. Is it likely the latch on the original truck was undone or broke?
Also who drove off with the trailer, was that the original disappearing driver?
13:21 - I think you found one of Gabriel Iglesias' "hidey-holes!"
nice job
Just out of curiosity, what would you charge for this recovery?
The company has his order sheet when he picked up,should get FIRED cause it could of been a car there,but who knows,I know you do a smooth transition to get it up going to the yard kool Alex
Funny how the unemployed demands everybody gets fired for everything.
12:15 nothing wrong with using chains. People have been using them for years. Obviously now the newer tools are available and make it nicer to use but chains have been used for years with no issues. Nice job getting it done smoothly.
Cute anecdote. Are you speaking for the entire industry when you say they've never caused issues? It's simple math. Chain if it's 1/2" is rated at 15,000lbs in a vertical if it's grade 100. Watch my videos. Use load cells. You can easily double that on a single pick point during the upright. You are in the industry, you know this weakens the chain EACH TIME. Just because something has been done a certain way it doesn't mean "it works". Granted it takes a lot to break chain but why on earth would you risk that when tools rated for this exist? And I've actually seen chain break twice in real life from other companies. Those highway 411 shows have it happen all the time. You use the correct tool for the job, no ifs ands or butts. No excuse.
@@PepesTowingService I didn’t say “never” I’d definitely use the setup you have if I was a heavy operator and had my own truck. I’d prefer using equipment like that cause that’s who I am as an operator. Just saying that if can be done with chains as well.
I totally get where you are coming from, but I want to change the industry for the better and that logic is so bad and can get you killed or injured. Tow related injuries happen ALL the time. So much of it is preventable. One single link is holding up and lifting the entire container when you use them in the pockets. One link. Think about that. Of course it will get overloaded, even bent. Will it break the first time? Prob not. Not even 2 or 3. But how many times are you willing to risk it? We used to start fires with sticks and stones, but when's the last time you saw anyone do that? The point is specific tools are rated for and meant for specific jobs. Still running chains in containers in 2024 is just beyond ignorant. This isn't the 80's anymore.
@@PepesTowingService I definitely agree with ya man. We’ve come along way with the tools in the industry. I’m always amazed with all the new stuff out. Just like how they have the rim slings and other synthetic products that are amazingly strong. Hopefully people can adapt to all the new stuff that makes it better and easier to get the jobs done safely, be safe out there and keep up the good work
Yes that's exactly it! To adapt and get better. A lot of older guys in my area are stuck in the same ways that they started 30 years and never evolved. The technology for rigging now is sooooo much more efficient, safe and stronger. Like these links, they are rated for this and designed for these jobs. On certain jobs like a burn job, ya chain is so much easier. But when you really get into formulas, working load limits and seen what I seen, it's just a no brainer to not use chain in these pockets. If we can eliminate the chance for failure and damage, it has to be done.
Noticed the tractor unit was CNG powered. That's different!
Thank you. I noticed the connections but did not know what they were for.
Looks like a drop and run
Cant believe you let the tractor driver who dropped the container to put his air to the trailer whilst you were climbing the ladder to go on top and remove your kit
I would have made him wait till you were off that box
Uhhhhh.....ok?? Good for you lol
Yes that is cool Peace out
He probably hasn’t noticed it has gone yet 😂
Let’s not forget Joshua ❤ 😅
When are you guys making more new movies? I like your shows thumbs up.
Man, Alex & Josh end up doing rigging instruction sessions or answering questions for the curious on-scene on over half their recoveries. Like multitasking, gotta do two, three things at once. My hat's off to them, for their patience and good nature.
👍
Look at how bald the tyres are on clients rig! Holy shite. CHP needs to put that rig out of service ASAP!!
What is the brand of that ladder and where can I purchase one.
Hello this is a ALDORR Professional - telescopic ladder. Cost 380 Euros. Greetings from good old Germany
Was that an expensive recovery with three trucks?
one truck , big flipper
Any time those wreckers come it’s thosands
👍✌
Wow
When are you guys going to make new shows? I like your shows I’m learning.
I post two videos every single week
It’s not just men that follow your channel. It’s ladies too, so it should be ladies and gentlemen lol
Hello Ladies and gentlemen
Hello!
Cool fast very nive
Dropped trailer.
Why can’t you just hook onto the chassis for your lift points rather than going to the top of the container?
To be in total 100% control. I can get away with it empty. But imagine you're carrying a box with the box in your palms upright. If someone bumps into you, the box can easily fall over right? Now imagine the box had handles at top. You can turn, run, jump and go crazy and as long as you have a grip the box is going nowhere. Super quick and dumb analogy lol but that's the gist of it.
Quick easy money, but the driver leaving?? I don't know...............
Sometimes stolen Cans fall off those drilled 5th wheel connections 😮
Its better to retrieve the Can than make more of an issue over it. Just sayin 😢😢
Losers use emojis. Just sayin.
Where was HULK at
At my BASE. Hulk can't be at every job at the same time
The Conainer did not fall off semi, the trailer left the tractor.
hello gentlemen and MUM,😬
Watching this gives me motion sickness put the camera down somewhere strategic 😮
Hope no one & peoperty hurt ...😂😢😢😮😮😅😅😊😊
I'm surprised you didn't clean up when you were done.
the tiny pieces of gravel ? no they are worse things on the road that we never see, I normally pick up the big items. if you notice I remove that huge metal stand from the chassis leg
@@AlexanderHernandez088 I Didn't realize most of it was gravel. I did see a c-clip type thing on the ground. Wasn't sure that was from the truck.
Did you want me to leave the full 20min of Alex cleaning in the video? Then you and the others would be nagging the video is unnecessarily long. People love to complain about everything I swear
@@PepesTowingService Dang, my bad lol Didn't mean to make ya'll mad and stuff lol
Not mad. Just corrected something false you said. If you took offense to my response then oh well lol
Alex hope Josh is paying extra for being bilingual... = )
It's LA, everyone is bilingual lmao
@@PepesTowingService lol
Sounds like a possible stolen equipment
Ok I'm out J don't want to listen to put the camera down on a strategic place you'll get much more viewers if you listen 😮
Why make fake thumbnails? It's just gonna get you reported
Lmfao what a loser take. Are you new to the internet? Are you new to UA-cam? Reported for what. That's an exact still of Jonas touching the container. Only it's from the other side where it was dark. You're acting like it's a huge misrepresentation. Get a life
@PepesTowingService fake as sht bro. You're not foolin anyone. And grow up with the name callin
@davehudson3439 snowflake
@PepesTowingService it's guys like you, putting up fake thumbnails, just to get hits, that are ruining UA-cam
@@PepesTowingService make you tube great again lmfao
Lose the traitor Trump ads.
TDS, there is no cure.
The amount of people that think creators literally choose what ads to play like we pick them.
i only get sad hook ads
@@PepesTowingService Don’t forget these ads are personalized based on search history and information bought by Google. Crazy how that works too.
That's what I told another guy! These are targeted ads lmfao. I notice all the anti-Biden people spend so much of their free time watching "Biden fail" type videos, which skews their algorithm. The same with anti-trump people, opposite sides of the same coin and they blame me because their search history is catching up to them on my tow truck video lol.
Alex is Pepe’s MVP, still don’t know how he deals with such stupidity with such grace and manners 😂 cause the way my temper is set up…
.................................👍💯❤❤❤❤❤
just out of curiosity, you guys ever get to a site and say "ya valimos" lol
never lol we always come prepared
👍
