  • Semi takes out light pole - destroys rear axle. Welcome back to another full on recovery job, and while not a rollover, it sure was a handful. For starters, the trailer was exiting a non-truck route and cut the corner too sharp, getting caught up on the barrier and destroying the axle in the process. A power pole was knocked down, which was cleared by the time I arrived in Hulk, my 50ton rotator.
    On scene already was my father in Dave's rotator, and Alex in Big Flipper, our 75ton rotator. Right away, we knew the container had to come off the chassis so a Landoll was brought in, then another Landoll to transport the damaged chassis. Not a hard job per se, just a lot of labor made easy by everyone pitching in and pulling their weight.
    Once we got everything loaded and the roadway cleared, we took it to our yard first before being called back by the customer to deliver it locally. I had to cut the footage short there since they didn't allow us filming inside, but at least the video is long enough to show you everything up until then.

    ►All footage was shot with my Pocket 3, along with Alex's DJI Action 4 and DJI Mavic 3 drone. I also edit my own footage using DaVinci Resolve Studio.

    What you do is only part of the equation for enjoying your job. Who you do it with is just as important. One of the enjoyable things to watch is how the Pepe's crew interacts. Too few people are lucky enough to enjoy both the what and who aspect of their jobs.

    @99chevy25004x4 Před 5 měsíci +6

    Pepe's does so much container work, you would think they would have container trailers they could just roll up to the scene and drop the container right on and drive away. Assuming of course the container isn't damaged at the locking points.

  • @DrewMarold
    @DrewMarold Před 5 měsíci +15

    Given the number of errant containers you guys deal with I'm a little surprised you don't have your own container chassis. Are the 53' ones sufficiently rare that the Landoll covers all your bases? Because that was a lot of overhang and I imagine you wouldn't want to go too far like that.

      @@bobh6728 If you're big enough that this sort of thing is a weekly occurrence rather than a once every X years disaster it becomes cheaper to eat the losses directly by self insuring instead of paying the insurance company enough to cover all the accidents and a profit margin. At most you might have an umbrella policy that kicks in at a really high level for if instead of a truck just rolling over the wreck takes out a bus full of people or destroys a large building and the cost of the truck and cargo become a rounding error in the liability.

    With that landall by or make a stand for the back end for two reasons one you have a step deck so you guys can put those 53 feet boxes you can move them on to the deck and on the stand to be able to have less overhang, two can use it for other long things . I'm not sure if it would be too tall if you do what I suggested. All of you guys keep up the great job 😊👍
