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

    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.

    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...
