- Driver Error or Truck Failure? A Bad Day Gets Worse for This Driver. Talk about having a BAD day! This poor guy broke down at the worst possible time, while trying to back up his tractor trailer into a loading dock. He was stuck for hours before being referred to Pepe's Tow. I was working with Alex and the call came in as much worse than it was. We responded with Hulk, a 50ton rotator, and Big Flipper, a 75ton rotator.
From the one zoomed in picture we got, I thought this was going to be a full on recovery job. I was first told the trailer was going to stay at the facility, then I would tow the tractor to the dealer. Unfortunately the driver was not thinking straight and did not communicate clearly so our original plan was scrapped once the owner of the facility came out and said he can't leave the trailer.
To make matters worse, it was a Saturday and the following Monday was a holiday, which meant the dealer would be closed for days. No worries, I called my dad and he brought a tractor so we can split everything and tow them separately to store until the following Tuesday.
Sure, it's not our craziest job but man I had fun with this one; even with all the change of plans and lack of communication. Those make the job interesting!

I admire the way you were able to deal with the "miscomunication" without losing your cool. I have just finished a marathon of "PEPE"S Tow" and each of the videos your politeness to the public, customers is great. One obious reason that the company has grown. To all the people who made rude comments, I hope you enjoy your easy chair or coffee with a tablet. It reminds me of the time my oldest brother told a man who was grumbling about how his generation did a job better "Yeah, that was when the winter was colder and the snow deeper" Thnaks again for the new video!
I admire these young folks with old school courtesy.
I agree with @kelleyunoffical3269 commits, but I have noticed that you don't like people hooking their horns at you. You have told them to shut up and to stop. I thought that it was just one of the 10K fans who was just saying hi.
Every time "The Boss" shows up, the video gets better. Despite a few communication issues, in the end you did what needed to be done to help this driver out. Breaking down on a holiday weekend SUCKS!! This driver can relax knowing that his load and equipment are safe for the weekend. Job well done!!!!
Very true points ! And we love when he comes out too lol always a good time !
The coolest thing watching this video is hearing the respect that you have for your Dad and the happiness you have in Your voice that he is there to help you. I also love that older Peterbuilt truck your Dad is driving. The colors are old school but still looking like new. You are blessed to still have your Dad working with you at "Pepe's Towing". GOD bless your families for the upcoming holidays 2023.
When the driver told you he got the ok to leave the
trailer in the loading dock i said to my self "think they better go ask the people in the building themselves" ! But it worked out - love watching you & seeing how well you guys figure things out.
Seat belt is something you should already know and cell phone too
Your Dad does not have mismatched socks, he has another pair just like that ! I fear the orange truck has some big gearbox bill to pay ! Well done team.
Nice looking Pete
That makes them a specialty pair of socks.
Nice job guys again
@@nelsonmattoon150 kenworth... close tho
Even with all the barriers this job was handled with the utmost respect and professional courtesy...well done to all the Pepe's crew...Alex is worth his weight as an operator and videographer... 3 thumbs up
Major kudos to Alex!!!! No mean feat to back up the T/T combo with the tractor front wheels in the air, backing downhill into a dark hole, and managing to steer it into the dock - while only controlling it with ONE cable, gravity, and a rotator! GREAT JOB! MEAN SKILLS!!!
Everytime I watch Pepe's towing do a job I am struck with how professional and exact you are. ALL of the team.
These are usual issues drivers face daily. Nobody chooses where they are going to break down next. Great recovery guys.
This guy is a steering wheel holder not a legit truck driver. He clearly doesn't know how to check and maintain his fluids(which caused this issue). Any one with common sense does a daily pre and post trip inspection...especially a truck driver.
The mechanic there said he had almost no transmission fluid.......that's a failure of a driver to pre trip his rig. He caused this problem.
@LongIslandHobbyist how tf do pretrip transmission fluid on a semi??
Moral of the story- don’t rely on a middleman to give you answers!!
drivers don't check your fluids, just turn up the radio till you can't hear the noise anymore.
You're the kind of guy I would enjoy working with. Calm and professional. Great stuff!
Gentlemen another great job. Dads looking great and Alex out did himself and you Josh great head on your shoulders. Job well done. 🚚
Anything I’ll see about all the trucks they are so shiny and clean and organized flatbed doesn’t matter which one they’re all beautiful. Thanks so much Josh and Alex and shredder.
That was sooo enjoyable to watch! 😊. Always fun when Dad's involved!🤩. Just goes to show, you never get two jobs the same! 👍
Just when you think you've seen everything, something weird comes up but you guys handled it like pros!
ALL I WANT TO SAY YOU GUYS DO GREAT WORK I ENJOY WATCHING YOU IN A RECOVERY AND HOW YOU ALL WORK TOGATHER AS A FAMILY. I LIVE IN THE STATE OF GEORGIA. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS.
Never trust people that say we can drop it here. Always check yourself. If they say what you don't trust me just say no I don't I always check for myself. It's an ugly way to be but you're covering your own back that way. Great job. Thanks for sharing. Much love. Stay healthy and safe
When I first saw this I thought the driver had bellied out the trailer but how it turned out was more of a challenge. When your dad arrived and dropped first time into the fifth wheel shows he still has it apart from the socks. A great team effort.
The angle of that driveway into the cold stores didn't leave much clearance on the bodywork of trucks.
Love the way you and Alex work in tandem together, very professional outfit.
He is a punjabi guy and he don't know how to deal in this situation so pepe you are so good for helping hand to this person god bless you love from india 😎
I like this see this. Y’all really helped that trucker out and allowed him to dock his trailer. Keep up the good work fellas. Us truckers appreciate that 100%.
Yes, your work is certainly varied.
That keeps it fun, also to watch.
Cool.ride from the inside! Great job as always! Your Dad is awesome ❤.
You guys are really qualified, love your expertise, stay safe & blessings 🤗
This job definitely had some twists and turns but you, Alex and your Dad got the job done! 💪🏻🍟
no wonder look at the flip flops on his feet and we have the same type of drivers here in Ontario Canada and we wonder how they get a licence !! They give real truck drivers a bad name !!
Not Flip Flops..Pakistan Safety Shoes 😅
These guys have ruined the trucking industry here in ontario which is why we have the melt program now to get your license because of all the wrecks they have caused. These flip floppers love running junk equipment working for peanuts dropping rates down to nothing even where a mega carrier can’t compete. Now we have huge problems with new Canadian trucking companies hiring company drivers as incorporated and not paying them things like vacation pay , wsib, health benefits, proper taxes and so on . when the employees are really company drivers but just scamming the government by not paying proper taxes and another reason why these companies can run so cheap .
The screwed the taxi industry in London too
@@deenunya7735
This flip flop wearing guy is from india. His truck is got California plate. California imports 80,000 indian truck drivers on 3 year work visa from India every year.
@@classicxl
Canadian truckers are taking our American jobs, loads, money, and helping our fuel to go up. We can’t have too many Canadian trucks in the USA ruining our markets.
That was a fun job, on technical and language scale. I like how you used gravity to your advantage, lowering the tractor trailer into the bay.
Wow, what a language barrier. I too thought the driver told you he could keep the trailer at the customer. I didn't think so. Tow to your yard & charge him for storage, you got to get him off the middle of the street. He may have no money, but that's trucking. He's got to prepare for these issues. Trailer storage is minimum $500.00 per day, any where. This drivers going to need to book a room at an "Extended Stay Hotel".
Shredder with the one shot Nellie. Nice job mix match socks 😂
Real truck drivers Don’t wear flip-flops…Shame on the Mess!
That aint how ya do it there twuck dwiver!!!
😂😂🎉🎉
That's a steering wheel holder, not a truck driver.
Sure glad I am retired.
You watch Bonehead Truckers too, don't you!
10-4@@TomCat13461
Another awesome job guys 💪
My company has a yard dog for reasons like this. Drivers have a lot where they drop their trailers, andwe handle it from there. Our dock area isn't that tight, but these days you wouldn't believe the things we've seen drivers manage to do.
That seems like the best thing to do. kenworth and peterbuilts have the worst turning radiuses
That turned out to be quite the job with all the misunderstanding. of the driver! Great job Alex and Josh getting it moved around and towed,
“oh my god you guys are gonna love this one” 😂😂
Where are his ‘work’ shoes? 😂😂😂
I have Never seen a vid no longer than 4 min. long and stayed......I watched this from beginning to end..... BRAVO!!!!!!

I have become an avid fan of this channel!!! I have watched most of your videos and I must say each that courtesy is exemplary!!! Kudos to you all!!!
If you liked this one, you’re going to love the one I just posted today!
I understood he (the driver) said ok to leave the trailer there and another guy is coming to pick it up.
Another great job well done guys say hello to papi chulo JOE ❤ miss that guy you need to have him on more of your videos 🌹
AWESOME WORK!!!!
I’m pretty sure the guy in the mustang honking wasn’t a real human but a gta 5 npc.
Dad to the rescue GOD bless all the Dads.😊
I like how he's wearing Sandler. I also wore my Sandler for the entire 16 year experience. Reason why Sandler. Reason is because I ONLY drive. I am NOT a mechanic, forklift operator, baby sitter on dock.unload or load. And I don't wrapped customers products. No EXCEPTIONS!!
There's no doubt we are in a presence of a well trained and smart truck driver.
Clear and concise operation.
Amazing job using rotator to back the trailer in! Those guys are such an embarrassment to the industry....flip flops, terrorists on side of scabbed out truck. Just liars and cheap cut throats
Holy shit. I couldn't have said it better myself!!!
Racist opinionated commentators are the chief embarrassment here
Wow! Tricky but great job everyone. Watching from Iowa.
Another awesome performance 🤓🙋♂️👍
Lovely Pepe trucks..the sci-fi looking one is a beauty!!
I think I would have had a whole bunch of curse words after the mis understanding. LOL
My guy is wearing flip flops while driving a huge truck😂
Sad lmfao 😂
I wear dudes lol
I can see the true respect and professionalism throughout this company. But I missed what happened to the orange truck? What happened?
Every now and then, people need a reminder that these rotators are actually TOW trucks and not mobile cranes .... ;-)
Hope the poor driver found a place to stay. Nothing worse than being stranded by yourself in a strange place with nowhere to go.
It’s honestly terrifying
That truck driver using a flip flop? What a mess.
This is one of many reasons why it should be mandatory to read and speak English if someone wants to come and live in the United States.
make that North America. We have the same problem, maybe worse here in Canada. Drivers show up and can't speak a word of english !!
Have a truck towed on the East Coast and you will find out what a LICENSED THIEF is !
This was different, and entertaining to boot.
Boots and gloves are a must fo real truckers. Safety vest, hard hat and goggles if you haul open deck.
His Hands on the hip with flip-flops.....foreign driver's classic look😂
Well the job changed 2 times after getting to scenne. Great job guys.
Dad has an awesome looking truck ..
Another great video PEPE this one required your skill'precision
You see the Cone?
If they don’t see the truck. What difference does it make seeing the cone??
It’s worse on the freeway. Fire trucks, 2 lanes closed, rotators with lights and cop cars and people still honk for us to move lol
pretty cool you guys have a rotator strictly for recoveries no under reach or towing capacity
43:13 Looks like someone forgot to take their water bottle off the outrigger🤣🤣
What a nice family outing
Your family owned and operated company runs a top-shelf service 👍👍😁💯
I have just come across your channel and I love your trucks especially your new one.
She is like one of the transformers .
Absolutely awesome piece of kit she can do anything.
When I'm watching you at a job and you need something pulled this way or that way you have thought of that and your beautiful truck has a way to do it.
I collect model trucks and I wish your truck was available as a model.
Beautiful trucks and you all do a fantastic job. 👌👌👌👌👌👌
Oh my God Josh! This one was better than comedy central😆
At least a responsible person from the warehouse arrived before you left.
You Guys work good together enjoy the video God Bless
You are the great people peeps 👍
The Shredders got humor man!!!
Bet that thing stinks inside. The driver probably hasn’t showered in a bit.🤮
They would have 3 or 4 in the cab and drive
nonstop except for fuel. A lot of shops don’t
want to work on them Some cut a hole in the
Sleeper and shit in the hole. Crap on the drive
line springs. TERRIBLE 🦨💩
@@markverloop8787in such a nice truck? I would assume that the companies who work like that don't use nice new trucks.
TO TAKE A SHOWER IS AGAINST HIS RELIGION
@@danielosuna9361he looks like a nasty mf'er. I bet that truck smells like the holes they shit in in his country.
It shows on the comments how a lot of people are ignorant and racist.
Trucking is not what it used to be! You have skills though! Good job!
You guys do great work!!!! im a crane operator and i would love to operate rotaters!!!! Awesome equipment you have!!!!! 💯👍👍
Thanks 👍
Gotta love those automatic "automated" transmissions.
That's a complicated back as it is that's not easy place to get my hat's off to the driver for handling this in a very professional manner
Lol😂😂😂 i thought the guy said "his chanklas"!!!😂😂, he said his fan clutch!!!
❤❤❤ wow 😮 very professional
Nice job 💪🇺🇸 But what a cluster F--
I think the driver was thinking more about how much it would cost for the job🧐
I never ran a tater but straight stick I'd probably pull it back by the king pin plate on the drivers side then winch the front of the tractor around to the right then hook the combo and park it. Not being critical of the way it was done, it got out of the road so you did it the right way 😀
The flip flops say it all.
LOL 😂, I like dad, he was like, yeah yeah kid I got it knock off the Chit Chat we’re burning daylight. 😂😂
I love your DaD no nonsense gentlemen 😅😊
Well that was an effe'd up job. Guess next time you go in with the driver to be sure all are on the same page . LOL
Bus bars for life. LOL 😂
Very nice trucks
Who dressed you today Sir😂😂😂😂
That tow company was look for the big rip off lol😢
It's always a guy hunking like it will change something
Something tells me might be a Issue with Payment ,good Vid
I said that he pays before you move the truck
cash or comcheck
100% agree with you on getting payment, biggest bunch of scammers out there
If he doesn’t pay they can put a lien on the truck and eventually the truck becomes theirs if they never get paid.
I’m sure they’ll have him pay before they tow out their yard to the dealership
@@wcfinvader providing its not on Finance
Another great vid. Josh. Why did you not use an under lift, on the front of the tractor, after you got the trailer down the slope?
It's a good job he put those warning triangles out. Might not have seen it otherwise.
That was an interesting job.
I think your dad has done this a few times! Love "THE SHREDDER"
