Car crash causes a tanker loaded with acid to fly off the freeway

- Watch as we take you through one of our most complex jobs, as we recover a tractor with a loaded tanker filled with acid that flew off the freeway and landed on its side in a nursery! We used our 75ton rotator (Big Flipper) and our 50ton rotator (Hulk) to handle this delicate call with the finesse and professionalism we display in every job.
The nursery had just one entrance in and out, with all kinds of flowers and obstacles in every direction. Our final game plan was to separate the tractor from the tanker after it was emptied, then upright and pull them out one at a time.
Once on the street and separated, we towed the tanker with our tractor and transported the broken tractor on our Landoll. The job took an entire day including the tows back to the customer's yard. I made this video longer due to how much work was involved and tried to make it as exciting as possible.

I have 35 years exp, i have seen it all. But you guys have some nice equipment. As well a passion for what you do. Keep up the great work. The drone footage adds an extra element to the job that makes what we do exciting as all hell.
That truck driver must of had one hell of a ride. I’m sure he thought he was going to die. Hopefully he walked away not hurt to badly. I enjoy your videos very much, you guys do some cool jobs.
The customer rep guy was the most enthusiastic I think I've ever seen anybody asking for an enormous, unexpected bill. Absolutely ecstatic.
Probably going to charge it all to the four wheelers insurance
I like your dad he should be very proud of what he has accomplished and he continues to grow the business
We are all very proud!
I wish I was 20 years old again so I could move to LA and beg you for a job. I’ve been trucking for over 30 years and have seen a lot of recoveries and lifts, but you guys are the best I’ve ever seen and it looks like you have so much fun working together.
Josh, your clarity of video coverage makes Pepe's channel WONDERFUL!!! Thank you so very much for your attention to IT concerns. You do a Great job!
Thanks! I take my time editing, glad you noticed.
Awesome of you to give credit to a job well done. 👏 shows integrity 👏 👌 👍
Guys that was impressive, dad did that perfectly 🥰 and we can't forget Dave
Boric acid, good stuff. No more cockroaches in area for awhile. Its also great in the laundry for cleaning.
Hey Pepe's towing service! Special thanks to your Dad for being there to keep you young punks in line! Ride ride ride!
He just came to show us all how it's done haha
Nice seeing a father and son working together and getting along !
Two quick observations. Even though it was empty, Hulk moved and flipped that trailer like it was a Tonga toy. Secondly, it always amuses me how Dads have such experience and wisdom to make jobs look so much easier. You deserve credit for being mature enough to give your’s respect and acknowledgment and not tripping over your own ego. Many young men have trouble with that.
After 40 years in the towing industry I tell people that " I don't exactly know what to do, but I know what NOT to do." It's a much smaller lists ! Lol
Another amazing video, teamwork is the key. Your Dad is no slacker he could probably work circles around all the younger crew. I like your attitude about no bad mouthing other contractors and praising your competitors. Thanks for sharing! Kevin
100%, he can teach classes if he wanted to.
Magnificent recovery by a great team. I love the moment you voiced the fact that your Dad still has it. It is an interesting point in life when the children come to the full realization their parents are amazing people with a tremendous wealth of knowledge. I have noticed over time that the recovery planning process you and Dave go through takes on a new dimension when your Dad is on scene. You are all to be congratulated for having a great company with wonderful people.
I always joke with him like that, truth be told he can run circles around me in his sleep! I learned all my skills from him and have so much more to learn.
Sir Josh & ALL crews !!! GREAT RECOVERY !! Glad the CO. Owner was there to see what you GUYS do !!! Quite an audience you had to see this ,,DON"T think much got done at the Nursery for sure as they were ALL watching YOU!!! Thanks for taking the time to video & Share !!! Hope ALL is well with the Driver as BOY what a ride he had ???? ""KEEP IT SAFE ""!!!!
He was VERY happy about how professional and efficient we were, I love hearing that.
@@PepesTowingService YEPPER!! ANOTHER SATISFIED CUSTOMER !!!
This video is the best advertisement you could ever want. People who see this and are looking for large vehicle recovery know you are the best. Great job.
I have to say, your dad's trailer pull-roll-flip in one step was most impressive. It becomes clear now why the entire team at Pepe's is so smooth and knows what they are doing. They are all learning from the best in the industry.
That was my favorite part of the video. The way he toyed with it so gently to get it to creek over so smooth with just a lift and catch on the king pin.
Pure physic guys. Physic.
@@junkman6456 ... physics without the knowledge and understanding of how to apply it means nothing.
With the quality of the video productions you create, you should never be concerned with the length. There are many of us who enjoy the more thorough videos showing the recovery. Those who don't are free to scroll forward looking for a portion that may hold their attention. Also, credit to you for showing that you encountered a situation where you weren't able to work it. Of course, being already committed to working the rollover was the primary reason for that decision. I always enjoy seeing a notification that a new video from Pepe's Towing Service is waiting for me.
Really nice to see a multi level /unit recovery in an awkward spot. lots of potential things to go wrong very quickly... Handled really well and professionally. Awesome Job Guys! Hope the boys at VL got their one done safely also.
Professionals at work! Very nice.
Your equipment is definitely reflective of your professionalism Pepe. Fantastic video.
Thanks!
As a frequent watcher of your channel, I would describe this video as being FANTASTIC AND VERY PROFESSIONAL. Thank you again Pepe's Towing Services. (I watch all of your videos from the UK, and can't wait for the next one)
Nice shout-out to Van Lingen.
They're top notch
I wish they would do videos again.
@@RambozoClown BIG 10/4 on that !!! Sent them a message about the pics on Josh's video !!!
Love the longer format video. really showed how much work went into that recovery. Excellent job by the whole team. Great work with the cameras and editing too
Thanks!
love your commentary ,love your enthusiasm......great way to spend an hour watching you guys at work
Thank you!
Much respect to you and the entire crew. I appreciate how you teach as the job moves along. Always important for the boss to keep cool under all circumstances. Your voice remains calm, which makes it easier to follow you into battle. Very professional !!!!!!!
Dad is the boss op for sure! Nice touch on the trailer.
He sure is!
You guys totally deserve more views and subscribers! Your jobs are so freaking cool and the filming is so good
Thanks bud, I think I need to work on my titles and thumbnails to gain more traffic but at least the followers I do have are super loyal and supportive.
@@PepesTowingService Apparently "tanker loaded with acid" isn't clickbaity enough LOL
@@lindasherman9921 Title is accurate though, loaded with 50,000lb of granulated acid. I think it's more because my thumbnails aren't click bait style.
@@PepesTowingService Problem is that we find out what acid it is and immediately know we were suckered. There are acids and then there are acids. What was the placard?
@@PepesTowingService Rolled wrecks aren't very photo expressive. Try going to the beach and getting some girls to pose with Hulk! 👍 It won't have anything to do with a wreck, but it will be clickable thumbnails! Good luck to you! It was an impressive job. Thanks for all the editing too.
Welcome to Southern California. Land of very talented truck drivers! Great job by Pepe's as usual.
You, Dave and your dad put on a show for sure!!! I *LOVE* watching you all work together, you do it SO well!! Excellent recovery and, you did a *KILLER* job with the video!! The 64k machine wasn't a total job loss, I did see your landoll there taking that beast away!!
Yup, they needed out 3 axle Landoll for the heavy load so at least we got something out of that!
When I was younger I thought my Dad know anything, I was wrong, he taught me things I didn't even know, thought I was a smart kid but he taught me a thing or two!
Josh what a sick recovery. My dad taught me so much about recovery techniques and all before wreckmaster. Loved your graceful balance recovery, that could have hurt. Be safe!
That's the best way to learn, hands on experience from a master.
Fantastic tow trucks... they are so powerful. The skills of the tow crew are off the charts.
That was a Great Video! That was some fantastic work from everybody involved. That step trailer with that other load was loaded by an idiot to put that much weight on the front!
That poor driver didn't even see anything wrong with how it was loaded lol
....and the trailer way too long for its load. As shorter
the trailer as less torque on the structure.
@@PepesTowingService I hauled heavy equipment for several years in east Texas. Many truck drivers scare the hell out of me sometimes like that when it is obvious they don't know what the hell they're doing. A danger to themselves and the public.
That was smooth flip on that trailer. Great job
Arc nemesis, great Ron line there bet he would have loved being on the job with you
I knew someone would catch this lol. I enjoy his videos and wondered if anyone would notice where that's from.
Pepe coming in clutch on a Friday night delivering a small movie.... Ohhh yeahhh!!! 👍👍
Hope you enjoyed!
I am addicted to your channel. You guys are SO professional. Keith Kindle Perry, GA
I really appreciate the drone shots in this one. And great Audio.
Props to Van Lingen Towing for dealing with that 64,000 Lb. Machine, and Peppe's Towing for dealing with the tractor-trailer down, off the interstate ... This is ONE DaNgErOuS profession 😬😬😬😬
No OT for Carlos 😂. Sick video man!!
My dad has jokes 😂😂
Your videos are really enjoyable, the drone adds a lot to the video as well as helping you look around the job site.
Thanks! Haven't used the drone recently but I def will use it more often
Its hard to pass up jobs but that was definitely the right call, that trailer was toast and it looked to have the possibility of being a few hour job. Ive known "operators" that would have gambled and used the under reach, makes me shiver. That driver should have made them reload the trailer the correct way before signing off. Good job as always.
You have to also figure at that point, this rollover was our 7th in less than two weeks! I had no issues passing it on to Van Lingen.
A trucker "hole-in-one". Much better than hitting the accident scene. Cool recovery. We got drone, cell, and GoPro video. Nice putting in the good word for Van Lingen complete with photos. Whoever loaded that trailer should be looking for other employment. Keep em' rolling.
Pepe's gets the coolest recoveries. Awesome job. Thanks for sharing
We earned it, we have a reputation for never turning down calls and always being available unlike tons of other companies in the area. Van Lingen is the same way, they are giants for a reason. It doesn't just happen by luck.
Hi guys,hats off to PEPES,its a shame today everything is new to the shirts,looks like everyone's in charge,fire,police,haz mat and bistanders,i'm retired now a few years but very few we ever unloaded,of course we did not have your equipment,all we had was old holmes wreckers,we looked good for years,the harder the job the more we excited,good luke to you and be safe,your in dangerous work as a accident recovery business,even if the news will say the fire dept had it all under control.
Great job guys - as always. Nice of you to acknowledge Van Lingen - you are a class act. Really appreciate the time and effort to produce an hour long video. Helps us understand all that is involved in a recovery like this, and the amount of time it takes.
Great job, hulk & big flipper looking good
Awesome Job by Pepe’s towing & recovery service…! You guys rock…! I agree with the nice editing with the different views on what’s is involved and equipment used, especially with the drone Josh… That drone view just gives that birds eye view of the whole situation that you’re up against. Having that high up drone view of the 110 and surrounding area was spot on… Nice job complementing the other towing company (Van Lingen Towing) too… Companies working together gives more of a positive respectable view for everyone and will bring more respect for all involved. Very admirable…! Good job explaining to the truck driver from Ohio on why and where the trailer was damaged. You’re correct Josh, the load was definitely loaded in the wrong spot. Video of the year...!
This job is a minute from my house ! Nice work guys !
Great job on the video Josh
Thank you
Solid work, spreading the love. That moron is responsible for his bad load placement, he probably got greedy trying to pick up a 2nd load. Why was that moron even in a residential area, especially at that weight?
Your drone makes everything look cool and you get a get view of what’s going on
(Peppe's Towing) ... Yes!, I couldn't initially tell - the steep grade of the ditch ... Until you went down there ... looked like a very difficult job!, Then again ... All of what you do looks difficult ... Job well done! 👍🏻😎
Nice of Dr Dave to block traffic with YOUR truck.
After watching your videos of you and the other emergency services at work, I realise now that it's true that not all superheroes wear capes!
Great job guys , professional , clean no injuries , safety equipment
That guy went for a wild ride, wow!!!!
Man that driver with the wrongly loaded trailer is totally clueless. Danger to all of us on the road
It's a miracle he didn't make it to the freeway
@@PepesTowingService I can't believe he wanted you to attempt to tow that trailer. It's f'ing broke. You can't take that on the road. I know you said it was loaded wrong, but could he have even towed it legally if it was in a better position without exceeding GVWR? Most rigs are 80K, right? He must have been over that.
@@Fix_It_Again_Tony Not on a two axle trailer lol. 64,000lb is wayyy over. That's why we transported it on my 3 axle Landoll. He couldn't grasp the concept that 1) it was placed wrong and 2) his damn frame and trailer were tweaked lol
Ya. Towing seems a good business by the lot of bad drivers.
What is the max axle load in Calif? 10 metric tons per axle?
Straps hooked to the rail too
Nice recovery! Seeing that trailer come over controlled without catapulting was awesome!
outstanding work from your dad an hello from dublin, ireland
Impressive recovery! Great teamwork!
Love watching it from a birds view. fantastic..
theres a secret trick to chainlink just cut the top and the bottom where its twisted together then the entire link will just spin right out. really handy when you have to put the fence back you can just twist the link back in the place
The fence was toast in this case, but good tip going forward.
Incredible job for real .the trailer uprighting was boss .
That was for sure my favorite part
Man we just found your channel the other day and ❤️ it! I did a little wrecker before I ran flatbed. You were 💯% right on that other job with the machine you had to turn down. The idiots had the deep step deck for that machine= wrong trailer! Yes it would have snapped!
Now on this boric acid we would have liked to see a bit of them pumping the granular acid out to the new trailer 🥲. That said, you guys did an incredible job! This was from last September but not the first vid I saw your newest one first and now need to see all 🤣. Would love to work with you anytime 👍.
This was one of the best hours in my life.
EXCELENT my friends- I just found your channel & I hit that subscribe button as fast as I could & already "binge-watched" about 3hrs of your videosI absolutely love you guys...great videos every time- You guys are so smart at figuring out how to recover these crazy situations- Keep 'em coming, & PLEASE be safe!!!
That is awesome! So glad you are a new subscriber, I try to post every single week.
Dad shure knows his business, rotating that big rig by himself was awesome...👍👍
Pepe’s helping to pass the time on a slow night tour in NYC..... LOVE your videos.
Binge my roll-over playlist if you want to kill an entire night!
I really enjoy watching the recovery of these huge trucks, not that there is so much cost in the loss of sometimes a bran new truck, and I am glad no one was hurt. But it is so interesting to watch.
What a production,you guys rock. Thanks
Thanks!
Josh, thank you for the extra editing. Awesome video, awesome communication, awesome planning and awesome execution. Well done team.
I took my time with the editing on this one. It didn't help that the video looked so off due to the extreme fires in our area, the tint and color were so off. Took lots of hours to dial in the coloring on this one to make it look cinemtaic.
You make it look so easy. Good job guys
You make it look so easy. Good job guys
You and Dave work well together. You are very lucky to have him.
Great job and video
Good job thank you for sharing stay safe
Outstanding teamwork, skill and equipment. Very impressive!
Great videos I love them all. Greetings from Wilmington CA, were in the industry providing roadside assistance. My son and I stopped and said to say hi, we also met your dad. Great to see a family based business. Keep up the AWESOME job and keep the videos coming.
I was waiting for your comment! Thank you for admiring the trucks in person, now you get to see exactly why we were there. Good meeting you guys!
You guys are awesome always enjoy your recovery via videos keep making them and I’ll keep watching on
What a job! Big respect! And a really nice video! I really like this long format.
Hulk looking great 👍🏻 as always!!!
Nice job guys, Great teamwork and professional approach to a difficult situation. Roy from England
Thanks Roy!
Nice One you all 👍👍👍😊
This was amazingly fun and informative video, Good Job! Hope your channel succeeds
Thank you! I'm now at 53k subscribers, and would love for it to grow.
FREAKING AWESOME on the recovery and the editing!!!
Thank you!! It's probably my best edited video so far.
Incredible. I know it’s every day stuff for y’all. Really enjoyed. Looking forward to those videos of you getting Hulk dirty
It might be a common occurrence to us, but it's still amazing showing up on scene every single time. We treat each job with the same care as the last.
You guys and Van Lingen I'm getting spoiled!! Huge shoutout you guys are the best. By the way I think Hulk likes your dad more 😁 just teasing. Great job and professionalism keep it up!!
Hulk is a cheater LOL
Well done!! When you first mentioned the power lines overhead, I was going to tell you that Ron Pratt of Midwest Truck in Scott City, MO calls them his "Arc Nemesis". The a few minutes later you called it that too. I like the long videos. Merry Christmas.
Thank you for what you do day in and day out. Thank you. Watch your 6 brotha!
🔥🔥🔥 Absolutely awesome work & great filming 🔥🔥🔥
I always live by better safe then sorry man. I full understand how dangerous that could be if you wasnt safe. A very awesome recovery guys.
Catching up on older videos...stll exciting today. Sweet.
Josh, you know what you are...I know what you are...I'll tell you what you are...a"Winner". And so is your dad. And so is Dave. And the crew are good workers. So there...Ok, now I've said my Peace. 👍. Almost done, the customer... very nice guy.
I hope the ETA was pretty close, if not right on...as there are so many traffic etc variables you have no control of/ redundant "E" Exspected.
Wonderful footage
Your Dad is the master of towing I think he knows more than 1or 2 things lol
He sure does lol
Como siempre chingones . Dios los siga bendiciendo y protegiendo.
Great equipment and team!!
Great job by the team, I live in the UK and we do not really have such big Recovery trucks so it is great to see these super American trucks in action..
Man You guys are good, Like that You do Your best not to do any additional damage while recovering.
Big job. Nicely done as always.
Hey brother, just a quick reminder, if you fly your drone over people you have to have prop guards on. Love the videos and like seeing you using a drone. I just wouldn’t like some troll to report you to the FAA!
Thanks for the footage Josh.
Thank you for watching
