Driver Error? Trailer Rolls Back Thru Gate
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Driver Error? Trailer Rolls Back Thru Gate. Mistakes happen, but sometimes they cost money. This driver was trying to couple her trailer when she pushed back the trailer too far, causing it to get stuck in a ditch and knocking down the gate. No problem, Pepe's to the rescue!
Alex did this job in two parts. First part was to lift the front of the trailer so she can back up to it. This gave the trailer stability to allow for part 2, which was lifting the rear of the trailer high enough so the driver can pull out without damaging the side skirts or bringing the gate with her.
I also have a give away!! The first person who can accurately guess the price on how much we charged this customer for this job, wins the brand new Pepe's duffel bag in the color of their choice! Didn't win but still want one? I got you fam, you can buy it directly here: shop.pepestowla.com/products/...
2nd place winner will get the new Pepe's blanket! Also available in black or white. This one is prob one of my new fave items because it's light and perfect for summer nights. You can get that one directly here: shop.pepestowla.com/products/...

I was gonna guess over $1k - a simple winchout with a straight-stick cost me $500 about 8 years ago. I'm actually surprised it was this reasonable, considering it was a multiple hour job with a rotator.

@@DobieTanpawPeople think because we’re so huge and have this equipment that our prices are insane. Los Angeles is horribly saturated, we have to stay competitive so private jobs like this we often work with the customer within their budget just to get the job. I would have loved to charge more but it’s better to get a lower amount than $0
When you need a tow, call AAA. When you need a miracle, call Pepe's.
The customer was great--joyous and happy. That's the kind of customer you need. She was patient and thankful for Alex's expert help.
Your videos are the best towing and heavy recovery videos on YT. I've been watching them for years, I put these videos on in the background while I work.

No it’s not. It’s a rip off . Right along with Ron Pratt 😡But this guy just wing it . And crosses his fingers.🤣🤣🤣🤞
I think most are underestimating the amount of effort, travel time and cost of equipment needed to pull-off this job - not to mention Alex's skill. Thinking on your feet is truly the most compelling part of the videos and Josh's positive comments keeping moral up as work appears strenuous. Helps to have happy customer too. Based on the location and time on site, my guess is $2450 but could be low. Every penny plus more is worth it to get out of the weeds.
Another awesome recovery with no damage to the trailer and your equipment and as always driver she was so grateful you did it so well
What a super nice driver. She was a gem.

@@PepesTowingService awesome news! I’ll email you.
I'm a retired wrecker operator and heavy equipment mechanic and I really enjoy watching your crew. You and your crew are awesome. The way that you handle the recoverys is great. Thank you. I'm going to guess that it cost about 950.00. Again thank you. Peace.
really enjoy watching the professional interactions between the team from Pepe"s and the customers, also the teamwork of your different drivers. extremely professional
It's the Professer Alex to the rescue your the best
I really like a driver who appreciates their knight in shining armor who saves the day, and that happened to be Alex & Big Flipper. I was going to guess possibly 1000, but looks like somebody took the trophy home for 975 HAHA. I'm always late to these video's, but thats ok, I don't come here to win free prizes, I come here to watch quality content from my favorite Josh & Alex. You really made this ladies day, this is what I like to see, and what makes America great.
Alex talks to the remote like it's part of him--man/machine. Smooth operator. Safe/careful/quick.
Greetings from Victoria Canada. 🇨🇦 It’s Canada’s birthday today, we are now 157 years old, which is almost twice as old as me. Thanks again for keeping this old lady entertained!
You recovery professionals are absolute rock stars
$1200. That’s my guess. Also those big holes in your ears is that where you hang spare shackles👍😎😂 good job very professional
The care that y'all's driver takes with the vehicle he is helping is top notch. The cleanliness/orderliness of the trucks are WOW! My guess.. $1275 Enjoying these videos.
That was a great performance Alex.
Good Going ALEX
Driver error. GOAT. Get out and look. Love the videos.👍
$1250.00 or so. Not having a clue on what towing costs, this is my best bet. Alex, as always does a great job. I do miss seeing Hulk too, take care Josh.
Alex is forever the total consummit professional, you rock dude!!! 😎
I remember chaining-up to a Yellow truck to my flatbed, years ago, who backed his trailer into a ditch like that. Pulled-him out, no sweat. He bought breakfast, and that was fine. At today's prices, I'm guessing that might have been around $500. Good job.

The real cost is that it's no longer a winch out after she dropped the trailer. Used to see it all the time drivers would pull the kingpin release to try and free themselves and now we have to recover 2 units
Are the duffel and blanket autographed by all the KZread stars?
Alex another class job done with pride! The lady trucker was a sweetheart! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

Guess.... 799. You worked well with her and didn't put any blame for going in the ditch; could have happened to anyone who didn't know that side of the yard.

It's not his job to assign blame. That's up to her safety department. The landing gear were all the way up. Only 3 possibilities for that. #1 she dropped the trailer after hooking due to no tug test, #2 the previous truck hooked to the trailer dropped it with out rolling em down to begin with, #3 mechanical faleure of the mechanisim caused them to retract under weight of the load. All of these scenarios mean this driver tried to force the truck under the trailer when the trailer couldn't even clear the tires and shoved the trailer in to the ditch. Her safety department will put 100% of the blame on her. If she couldn't low gear crank the landing gear down she should have sought help...
Was watching "The Italian Job" the other day, and do a double take when I saw the Pepe's rig during the helicopter chase sequence!
Well done! Thank you..
Alex another professional job, your patience are incredible and you place no blame on anyone. You are a true professional!!!
❤❤❤ i love your content as a former straight truck operator i can simpincise her prediction. Drivers error can happen good job Alex.
28:49 - "That's my airbag, sorry!" Yeah, that excuse never works for me when I use it.
You sure made that driver HAPPY!! Great job!
Yet another perfect rescue of a drivers fault. Alex is great. Pepe's towing's Big flipper and Alex team are tops.
So professional!!! Great job!!!
Going to be $2800. You are a fair and efficient company. Thank you for the videos.!!! Peace Out.
What a nice lady! Great job Alex!
Watching from a far off land way down at the bottom of the world in New Zealand … I’ve been binge watching all your vlogs … both on KZread chrome cast Tv but comment on my KZread on my phone .. Flipper and the hulk are incredibly insane machines … I love their design and what you guys do . Fantastic work team ❤❤❤…. I’m hooked to “ Pepe’s Towing “ 😊
You're so patient with drivers Alex. 👌
The second video of the day that was absolutely wonderful ❤️. Today is going to be a great one. Pepe's rules!❤😂
good job guys peace and health
'together' was the operating word, and customer got excited!😁 and remember flipper cannot do without Alex the driver!
Nice clean and easy job, nice work Alex.
I just love these videos!! So nice to see a job well done (as always!!) and everybody happy and feeling good. Thanks, Josh and Alex!!
Love watching alex and flipper work. The trucks are so organized with all that gear
Awesome job as always! Alex you're the man !
Alex being the Gentleman he is, youtube gotta love this man. I do dissagree on mentioning "driver error"in the title. this pasture is just bad. Props to the Lady.
Well, you made her day like you say it can happen to anybody and it doesn’t mean she’s incompetent either like some of the comments said. ❤️❤️
Great job, Alex You are the Man👍
Excellent job, the usual top professional interaction! Good going Alex! I'm guessing $750
Once again awesome work Sir!!!
850! Great job Alex when you get to the job you check everything and then you go to work and get the job done with finesse and take good care of the customer.
Another outstanding job from Pepe’s towing and Alex is a true gentleman. Thank you for the video and keep them rolling. I’m gonna have to guess on that job. It was around $799.😊😊
If I had a truck like that I'd have to rig a seat to a hook, grab the remote and fly myself around.

I can say I’ve seen Josh get hoisted up in the boatswains chair, as well as lowered and raised to a casualty while wearing his class 3 harness. The videos are older ones (abt a year or so) but still really good ones. One was a car in a storm drain thing he rode our standing like cap’n sparrow rode his sinking dingy into dock in potc. The other was I believe a container yard where one of them was half fallen on an angle…..
Good job.
Neat job! Well done 🎉🎉🎉
The fact that someone else asked for a business card is a reflection of what they thought of the recovery. Like the driver they were impressed. If only all your customers were as happy and obliging as this one, even after their day turns to mush it would add an extra sparkle to all your operators.
Great video as always. For those who had grown up in the 1980s will understand this. The cost was USD$29.95 +TAX +S&H Make your check to PO Box... LOL
I used to work for that company , at the time they had junk for equip. Wouldn’t believe the condition of the tractors. Now it looks like they finally got good equip

$1925 for another absolutely excllent recovery, courtesly and much pleasure to watch.
AWESOME JOB Alex and CUSTOMER SERVICE TOP NOTCH!! $1200
Hello brother across the pond aweasome as always thankyou .keep the sunny side up .peace to you and the crew
saw one of your trucks the other day in orange county, ca very beautiful looking truck, keep up the great work!!
Nice job, cool driver acknowledging her mistake, that was good to hear. The tow costs a $750 hook-up charge and a $150 per hour minimum of two hours of labor. So I'd guess $1050 total.
Great job Alex
Your show is always enjoyable
Nice job Alex
Way to go Alex,perfect for the assignment for the job, your the best Bro

Good job Alex 👏 lovely and professional peace out here
Great attitude displayed by that driver! An asset for the Andrus team. Since you were called out after hours, I'd expect to have paid at least $2,160 (tax included) for that service.
I'm a relatively new Pepe's fan (although I've probably watched almost 100 of your vids). At the risk of embarrassing myself, I'll guess $550. Go Pepe's! All of you are great!
Very great job love ya love all video's ya put out
Would say this was the yards error, looking at the trailer next to it there is not much margin for error there with that drop off. Great work as usual!
Great Job Alex. I think it cost $1,100 for this job.
Awesome video as always! I guess $840 only because most comments guessed higher and the customer was happy. 😊
Nice bags
I'm guessing $2,000, another excellent job well done
Nice work Alex. Slid that trailer right out of there. That driver was pretty chill, and no waiting an hour for payment. Kind of surprised the railroad didn't show up. They usually take these things personally. Guessing five large.
Alex gained a new fan with that driver 😊
My guess $750 - Love the videos from Pepe's!!! Keep the great videos coming and keep on towing:)
Alex love your channel my guess is $2750 big equipment to call out. Keep up the good work and be safe.
Glad to see you’re using a better ladder than that other one!
Back up to the trailer, hook the air lines, run air to the trailer brakes. If the trailer starts moving, find something to chock the trailer tires. If that still doesn't work, call PEPE'S.
Here is a WAG 75.00. Alex is the ultimate professional. Maybe it is his mechanics background where parts and nuts and bolts have to be organized as well as tools. Anyhow enjoyed the video, relaxed my PM. Alex is personable, polite to everyone. Good video Josh.
Awesome job PEPES.. My guess is $1200
Great videos when you're at home chilling. Good job Alex 💪🏼 As for price $980
