    Amazing the driver survived this. Some poor folks have lost their furniture. Looks like a mattress was still strapped to the wall with furniture covers strung about. Good job retrieving that mess.

    This is why you and your team are the best. That was a smooth recovery. Hopefully CHP will remember who drove away and who tackled the job flawlessly. Your father is a great guy and I’m sure he’s very proud. Great job guys 💪👍

    That was an incredibly lift. Then to dance it over your rigs and place on the flatbed....Impressive!!! Stay Safe,

    The other operators are going to come in on Monday, see that mess, and say "I have GOT to hear about this one. Looks like you guys had fun over the weekend.

    4 other companies didn't want anything to do with it. You, Alex and your dad show up and make it look easy. Doesn't hurt having Big Flipper and Hulk for the heavy lifting! The first thing I thought when you showed the wrecked truck was, exactly what you did. Pull it up like it is and drop it upside down on a Landoll. Roll it in your yard later. This video is Pepe's EXCELLENCE at it's very best!!!! Take care, my friend, and be *safe*!!

    WOW!!! As mangled as the box ended up I think it's what saved the cab from going over like the box did...That driver is super lucky that cab held up as well as it did. it appears that the LF tire blew possibly...hopefully it wasn't human error and the driver makes a full recovery.
    A great video from lotsa angles...and taking the casualty over your trucks...rapidly...teamwork!!

    Never seen a box truck converted to a flatbed before. I'm not sure which would have been more hilarious to see, the truck upside down on the Landoll like this, or if you had flipped it over and front towed it squashed. And that was a really slick maneuver to pass it between the trucks to get it loaded.

  • @andersmaudal4050

    Unbelievable to flip a load box truck.... and slide down a hillside and the driver survived that is impressive. Amazing video Josh, Keep em coming :)

    It's OK that you don't know about the frogs - you don't get out into the underbrush too much. The rains probably brought the frogs out. They are good food for the coyotes and mountain lions.

  • @tomferrin1148
    @tomferrin1148 Рік тому +8

    Excellent job, with great coordination between you and Alex to pass the wreckage over the top of the trucks! @21:45 when the section of the box truck top dropped onto the Landoll, that could have easily dropped on top of Hulk instead. Real lucky there.

    I find my self comenting more than I ever have before. What a job! How simple it looked, all the strategy hidden and the coordination between yourself and Alex was great. All through the lift if found myself wondering what you would do with it, then what was CHP and CALTRAN going to do, red tape, rules, but everything fell in place. Thanks again for a great video.

    2 rotators out on call together must make quick work of the gnarliest crashes and mishaps compared to arriving with a 20 ton and calling for more wreckers.

    • @PepesTowingService
      @PepesTowingService  Рік тому +2

      Absolutely! You'll notice in all my videos how fast we knock out even the most complicated wrecks. Two rotators on any given scene allows us to work so much more efficiently to clear a scene.

Query, in this very awkward site, who gets to bring up the thrown items from truck ? curious as heck ! This type of site shows how awkward things can be.. superior thinking!

    Amazes me the lights on that wreck are still lit. Conservative approach of old age, I would have re-rigged to avoid lifting across the trucks. Too much chance of something falling off that wreck and hurting a rotator for me😂. Thanks & stay safe out there Josh!

    I guess the box truck was the real "Big Flipper". I saw a bunch of moving blankets in the back so maybe it was some fly by night moving company. Good job getting it up and then over to the landall.

    😎great work!
    I am always wondering what is the owner company deciding to do with such a wreck?
    Even if they want to rebuild it, they can’t move it from your yard, without dismantling the rest of the box.
    So are there normally ordered scrapping companies by the costumer and they dismantle such a wreck in your yard?
    Or how is the end of such a wreck?
    Just out of my interest.

      The towing Co. is going to deliver to wherever the customer directs them to. Then that Co. will use their own equipment to unload it, flip it, then cut the sidewalls off to see what they have got to work with. From what I could tell, the frame, engine, and driveline do not look un-repairable.
