  • Major Semi Rollover Blocks Entire Freeway. Finally, something rolled over that isn't a container. And after the load spilled all over the freeway, it was empty too! Received this job from Omar at Titan Tow at 6am, and immediately headed out to assist in my 50ton rotator, Hulk.
    I was first on scene since I was already headed in to work and had a driver meet me at this onramp in Hulk. From there I got a royal police escort, backwards, to the incident. At exactly this time they had managed to move some debris to snake a path for some vehicles to pass through on the center divider side as morning rush hour is BRUTAL. This was only temporary since that's the side that had debris, and my goal was to open up a lane on the opposite side as fast as possible.
    The only way to do this was to winch the entire thing towards me and straighten it out. This worked great, and allowed 2 lanes of traffic to pass simultaneously while Omar and I got our game plan and rigged for the final job. First step was to close and secure the box to the chassis, then we rigged quickly to get this tractor and trailer up and out of the way.
    The job was high pressure but overall I found it quite easy. Omar had a heavy wrecker on scene up front so as soon as it was upright, it went straight onto the under-lift and ready to tow out. Unfortunately the freeway still had to be shut down to do a full debris cleanup, but those guys seemed fast and after a bit, all lanes were open and traffic free again.
    Since this was a rush job, I didn't get to use a drone or Sony or any other fancy equipment. All footage was shot with my iPhone 15 Pro in Apple Log, what did you guys think?

      There was also a car (maybe an SUV) involved in the accident. They took it away on a rollback. Perhaps it changed lanes too close to the front of the truck. People don’t realize that it takes longer for a semi to stop than it does a car.

    As a retired operator of 20 years it never ceased to amaze me when we needed a lane to work so that we'd be safe in doing our job the CHP wanted the lanes open and they wanted them open right now so you better move your ass and do it
    but if a CHP officer break a fingernail on the freeway during a traffic stop they'll shut the whole damn freeway down for hours while they do their investigation that's how it's done in SoCal
