Unbelievable Dock Disaster: Who's at Fault?

- Unbelievable Dock Disaster: Who's at Fault? I see these accidents all the time on social media but this was my first in person! Lots of sticky red tape just because it's at the port so supervisors left and right watching your every move. The ports are heavily automated now, which means these giant cranes do not have an operator in them. They're built for speed and efficiency, but accidents still happen. The driver is also responsible for checking their locks to make sure the container is not attached to the chassis. Maybe the driver forgot to check the locks, or maybe the machine was too fast and lifted before the driver could do that? I've also heard of drivers removing the locks while in line, then by the time they get to this spot the locks vibrate back into place.
Dave in our 75ton rotator, aka Big Flipper, and myself in my 50ton rotator, aka Hulk, tag teamed this one in a way we haven't before. Instead of one truck controlling the front and one in the back, we split the load down the middle side to side instead. This was Dave's plan, and man oh man did it work beautiful.
This method allowed us to bring it up high enough to clear the fence and machine it was stuck on without damaging anything, then from there we worked our magic along with the machine operator to free the back. Once free, we rotated in opposite directions to get the tractor and chassis straight, then set down to the ground.
I used my Sony FX3 with a Sony F1.8 20mm lens on a DJI RS3 Mini gimbal for almost all shots, with the exception of the few obvious iPhone 14 Pro shots. What do you guys think?

I know it’s a complex operation but you guys make it look so easy! True professionals!! 👍🏻
Very complex job, but if you're familiar with my channel you know I don't like the drama. Like the TV shows where they show up to a wreck and dramatize on how they're going to get it done. We show up, analyze, get a game plan and execute it. Sometimes we change our plan once or twice which is OK, but it's important the team is always in sync.
@@PepesTowingService You guys always do a great job! I use to be a firefighter from So Texas and you guys do things I or my crew never thought of. Even the tow guys we worked with didn’t even think of the stuff I see you guys do.
As a retired UK container driver you'd be be suprised how common it is for a driver to forget to undo the twistlocks, easily done if your distracted. Great recovery guys.
I think I’ve watched too many tow truck videos as my first thought was that someone forgot to undo the container locks. Not bad for an 80 year old woman!
Yep!
That's what I love about my fans and these videos. You can pick up so much without even being in the industry.
So was in the wrong, the driver who didn't unlock the pins or the guy with remote controlled crane WHO FAILED TO CONFIRM it was unlocked and FAILED TO READ THE WEIGHT being lifted. Probably both got fired.
I’m 70 years old I’m a woman and I just started watching this channel. I love it.
@@sammartin8932it’s an automated port there’s an emergency shut off switch for those situations. Unfortunately it was the drivers fault for not unlocking pins and not paying attention.
Josh, “Bad robot.”
Exactly what the semi driver said before his truck was tossed…
Well, how was the robot supposed to know the driver didn't want to go with the container? He's the one who's supposed to unlock the pins.
Josh, that had to be one of the cleanest and most complex recoveries ever done in this planet. You and Dave performed a masterpiece.
Thanks David, glad you enjoyed it so much!
Thank you, haven't been able to watch for years. Had stroke, seizures, cancer, etc! Finally home and able to enjoy my CZcams!
Working at the docks for the past 22 years, I gotta say a couple of things about this incident: these happen with people behind the wheel on the straddle carrier, but it seems AI doesn't make it any different - if the twistlocks aren't fully unlocked, you're gonna lift the truck & trailer and notice it too late. Truck drivers don't always remember to open or check the twistlocks on the trailer, and this is a fairly common end result of that.
As for how it ends? In about 99,9% of the cases it's the same: straddle carrier ends the shift with zero damage, the other one gets a ride on the tow truck for heavy repairs.
Beautiful work with the recovery, didn't see any additional damage done to truck or trailer. Great workmanship!
Awesome job with minimal damage. That's why you guys are the professionals.
You're too kind, thank you
Hats off to you Josh. Great workmanship and teamwork.
👍
I’M AN INSTRUCTOR IN ALABAMA, I TEACH THIS STUFF. I WANTED TO COMMEND YOU ON YOUR TACTICS, PRECAUTIONS, SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS AND TECHNIQUE. THIS WAS TRULY WELL EXECUTED IN A SAFE, PROFICIENT, AND EFFECTIVE MANNER. WELL DONE. I SHALL USE THIS VIDEO FOR MY STUDENTS TO OBSERVE. KUDOS GUYS.
@@Jagabot_Esq. Give the guy a break. He's an instuctor, not an IT magician
Maybe the instructor was old school before keyboards with shift keys. I used them.
Year later but you really needed to SHOUT ??
Josh and Dave another awesome job! You both work with the customer very well! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
You guys earned your money on this one. Very skillfully done and protected a seriously expensive container handler. Bravo.
Josh and Dave, wow, what an intricate job. I wasn't sure how you were going to handle it, but you guys, Hulk and Big Flipper, made it look easy!!
Amazing recovery! Well thought out, cool headed and love how in sync y’all are. Not only that, the filming is top notch too. Great angle on all shots and thanks for showing all the intricate details. Made me feel like I’m right there. I only just found the channel but I look forward to catching up on it and whatever you gonna bring in the future!
The rigging and geometry of the forces all has to be visualized before something like this can be pulled off. Beautiful recovery. You guys make those rotators do a waltz while holding a tractor in mid-air.
100%. Like my dad taught me, you have to see the end at the beginning.
Super glad to know that Billy was able to give you the the equipment that is necessary for all this great videos you’re making I’ve been an arborist for over 30 years start shopping at Bailey’s back in the 1990s.
True professionalism and amazing job! That’s what makes y’all the best!
Well done guys, being round trucks 40 yrs nice to see someone who knows what they are doing
Hats off Ese-. That's master craftsmanship!
To all you heavy equipment companies; these r the guys to hire for all you're rigging needs. Take note.
Another absolutely awesome recovery Josh & Dave! THX!
Mr Josh Another awesome recovery. You get the craziest calls. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
Thanks as always for watching my friend, hope all is well in your neck of the woods!
A great technically challenging job....good thing it wasn't crazy busy in that area at the time. And the truck still looks driveable depending how far back the bumper got tweaked.
The run back over the bridge at night all empty...it is a pretty sight to see🙂
High fives to you both!!
Amazing job and truly two professionals showing those folks at the port how to get the job done!! Best part is everyone went home safe and not another scratch added to that damaged rig!!
Holy crap. You guys get some of the craziest recoveries I've ever seen on CZcams you guys rock on all of them what it is fantastic job
No haters here boys, great job on a pretty funky recovery. Professional work as always, the right equipment and operators always get the job done.
I just started watching your channel and honestly I think of all CZcams channels this is my favorite. Great job on another recovery
Wow, what a finess operation, you & Dave really nailed that one.
Tow truck drivers are a different, and amazing breed 👏. You guy's are a credit to you profession. Thank you for keeping guys like me on the road. 😊
36:08 - For me, this is probably the definitive example of how in sync Josh and Dave are. Awesome!
That is my favorite part too! Here's a secret, that part was Dave's idea. He told me on the headset to rotate each truck in the opposite direction, and bam magic happened.
What’s refreshing is seen somebody in this day and age taking Safety so seriously safety just goes out of the minds of people at times kudos sir.
Working under a suspended load, the fun never ends.
If I ever get a chance to get out to CA again, I am for sure going to look you up. You explain things so well that it brings good ideas to my head in hopes of developing some new tools of the trade. But for right now I still am frozen in solid in Northern MN and down my main vehicle. Darn electrical systems have me totally stumped.
You guys respond to some crazy wrecks and as always, awesome job.
You all did one heck of a job props to you both for doing an awesome job
I just love your enthusiasm! Your excitement is contagious and so entertaining. We all know you love your job.‼️😉🚒
The real MVP in this video is the bomb proof chain link fence.
Hey Josh & Dave !! Great recovery with working together to ""GET--R--DONE ""!!! Liked the night shots of leaving the port too !!! Thanks !!!! 🙃😉😋🤔🙄👀👀👀👀👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!!!
Great job! You both did a well coordinated “ballet in the air”👍👍👏🏻👏🏻🌹
Nice that you have built your business correctly that you can have the best equipment, and do these tricky jobs. I admire your work ethic. You seem to have a lot of fun with these challenges. Wish I could work for you! Signed, former business manager.
I love this new equipment, back when I drove ( mid80's to 90's)we did recovery with a lot more risks. Since I was the skinny one I often had to do much of the rigging.
You seem to have a great team and some of the best skills as well as equipment.
Way better than an episode of Highway Thru Hell.
Thank you! I don’t like those fake reality shows. The wrecks are cool but man do they over dramatize every single call lol
@@PepesTowingService 4i mnutes of show, 2 minutes commercials, and they repeat the last part of the previous segment. Lol. I would have liked to see the wide view of the 2 rotators though
These guys are always professional on all of the jobs they get. Their performance is and has been excellent.
I was born, Still live in Long Beach. My Father drove trucks in the harbor. Glad I found your channel
Dude, that was some great videoing, awesome angles of the tractor airborne. Great communication with the other operator. Don't see how it could have gone any better, great job.
I had a feeling they weren’t going to let you guys on the automated side. Great job getting everything recovered with little damage.
Hey Campion I really enjoy watching you young guys at work. You come up with reall good plans with unusual challenges. Keep up the good work!
Awesome job you guys both did on this recovery!
Just total perfection and very good teamwork!
Wow ! I haven't been in Long Beach since 1970 has it grown. Great job.
My new favorite type of video. Great work, perfectly filmed.
Great work on this one. It's especially great you were able to dislodge the back of the trailer without being able to directly rig to it. With that suspended container hanging above, you couldn't go back into that area. Some might not think of the "thou shalt not work underneath a suspended load" rule, which made your job tougher (but safer).
You hit it on the head. We COULD HAVE rigged to the rear and pulled it, but we could have caused more damage brute forcing it that way. The way we did it by rotating the front back and forth gently allowed it to break free without any damage.
"Amazing technical job"... absolutely Josh! 😁. Like I've said before - Every day brings something different! Quality video too btw! 👍🏼
You guys are absolutely unreal. Phenomenal skill, judgement and expertise. The one problem is that you make it look too easy !
Yessss new video!! Always excited to see what y’all have to deal with.
Damn Josh… That was messed up… Good thing they called you guys!!!
Ya know Pepe when I first got my cdl I told myself I’d try getting in with a company to learn how to operate a rotator and maybe buy my own one day. Specially since I did flatbed and wrecker for years but lol this is a whole nother beast. Your vids along with a couple others let me know I ain’t cut out for this haha I’ll stick to otr. I respect you guys to the utmost though be safe out there.
Thx Josh for an informative and entertaining video with excellent content and production.
Professional from the word go, job done with no damage to the customer or the tow equipment perfect
great job on a very technical job. love how you both worked so well together, some canadian companies could learn a thing or two from you guys.
That was fantastic! Fun to watch. Thanks!
Excellent work, totally amazing team work!!!
Talk about a couple of professionals !! Great job guys !!
Awesome job as always guys!!
What a great fluid plan expertexpertly executed. Again you went home safe and sound.
hate, hate , hate. there, you have the one to validate your hypotisis.
Great job !!
Awesome as always, you guys are the best of the best.
That was pretty darn cool to watch. Loved the bridge too.
Finally found a youtuber in my area. Worth watching just for that. Awesome job.
Josh another Great video ! Congratulations on 106's subscribers ! He did look like he went full speed ahead ! That was weird. Hopefully you will still have calendars in March . I hope .
Still amazes me that you can pick up a whole truck like that and make it look so easy you guys rock your job.
Perfect recovery guys, fantastic skills.👍👍👍
Excellent work, Very interesting. You guys do great work.
And that is why I always tied the locks open when I went to a port or a rail yard.
AWESOME AWESOME JOB!!!!!! You guys work so well together!!!!!!
Josh/ Dave; Nice flying a Tractor/trailer, best recovery video!
WELL DONE!!!! Great job, guys!!
Fascinating! Great teamwork.
Dave is a quiet achiever and quite a serious dude....But, "Boom goes the dynamite" and i saw dave smiling😂😂 Absolute asset to the Pepe's Team. Nice work guys, i am overdosing on your videos at the moment, love it!
True professional’s at work. Good job
Excellent work on this mess, but man, its so bizzare-o!
"Bad Robot!" Indeed!
Great job, you guys are good at what you do.
Sweet skills fellas, poetry in motion.😎
Newer to your channel.. I have learned so many things and you’re crew is fabulous
Thanks for subscribing! I try to be very detailed and repeat myself for the new viewers so you guys can understand everything I do.
I,ve been towing, crane operator, House moving and thats a great job! Very smooth
Beautiful work!
Yo!, Props to the chain link fence contractor, that fence is freaking solid lol
That was relatively intense. Nice job getting it down with that finesse!
Thank you!
Awesome job as always! 👏
Beautiful job boys.........tricky situation overcome well.
Good job men,one of the best!
Fantastic Job!! Now you are in my neighborhood, literally
That was pretty slick. The yard rats came up with a good one and you had no problem getting it done. Nice work.
Brilliant work!
That was straight team work with those big rotators . Bad ass
You guys are true badasses. Keep up the good work.
that was a complex technical recover you guys made look easy ❤❤❤
Ultra-heavyweight ballet. Most excellent recovery! 🎉🥇
