- We are proud to introduce our newest truck, a 2019 Peterbilt 75-ton rotator. While there are a few companies that have a truck this size, such as Statewide, Ten West and Van Lingen, we are the only company in the city of Los Angeles with a 75-ton. Check out our blog for more information on this monster for more information and to see why we don't have an underlift

Congratulations! That is one great million dollar truck and being the first in a city like Los Angeles sure is one heck of an accomplishment. I am sure this truck will serve your company and the city and the residents of Los Angeles well by opening roadways faster and clearing wrecks more efficiently.
Such a compliment, thank you. Can't wait to show everyone what this is capable of.

I follow 3 other tow/recovery channels. Your 75-ton rotator showed up as a "recommended" video. I watched it along with your other videos and have become a subscriber. Even though you are just getting started on CZcams, the quality of your work will soon get you far more than the current 578 subscribers.
I have a number of comments and one question:
(1) What's the difference between your "pepestowla.com" site and "pepstow.com"? The paint schemes on the trucks seem to be somewhat different and I don't see your "S. Boyle Ave." address on the other site.
(2) You've got very nice looking equipment. Your vehicles are part of the "face" of your company (along with your workers), so it makes a good impression on the public.
(3) You've got a very good drone operator. That view adds a great deal to some of the videos. I realize that person has more important responsibilities than operating the drone when on a job, but it's nice to include that in some of your footage.
(4) I realize that audio from the crew is not possible when using drone footage, but the captions are helpful in following what's happening.
(5) Where possible, it's nice to hear the crew comments as they coordinate what they're doing and give us a little information. (The "tractor decking" video included comments directed to the views about what was being done.)
(6) I'm not much of a fan of music in videos such as these but at least you seem to choose songs that are not too obnoxious. All of us viewers are interested in towing and recoveries but can have widely different tastes in music.
(7) I like the longer format videos that show more detail of what's being done. If you would choose to do more of that, those who like shorter videos could advance the video manually and we could all be satisfied.
(8) The use of split screen to show two views at once can be a nice touch.
(9) Your older trucks may not have the capability for remote control, but it can be useful to have it available to eliminate running back and forth from the controls to watching the recovery. Another possibility if there's more than one person is to use headphones to communicate.
(10) What attracts me to sites like yours is that I enjoy seeing how you go about finding the solution to each unique situation.
(11) Finally, you will sometimes get suggestions from other operators about how to go about something that you will find valuable. Of course, you will also sometimes get suggestions from some who see themselves as excellent towing/recovery operators when sitting behind their keyboard. I'm sure you are more than capable of deciding which is which!
What a very informative and constructive comment. I'll try to answer everything here in case anyone else had your questions:
(1) We are the same company, Pepe's Inc. I operate out of our Los Angeles Division while the other site is for Inland Empire. Our LA trucks are painted different because we have a police contract and these are the official police garage colors.
(2) We pride ourselves on our fleet, I love when people notice.
(3) I am the owner and also operate the drone. I'm not always able to set it up and use it but I do plan on using it more, it definitely makes for a better video when done right.
(4) That's what I was going for, not everyone is in the industry and automatically knows what is going on. I want anyone to be able to see my videos and get what we are doing.
(5) This is sometimes hard when the scene is very noisy (such as by the freeway) but I also think it can be a nice touch.
(6) Thanks, it can be difficult picking one genre (say country, rock, etc) but I try and find "neutral" songs that match the tone of the video.
(7) I've been getting this suggestion a lot. I was first told that long videos would deter people, but going forward I want to start making them longer.
(8) I've never seen that split screen view done before on recovery CZcams videos and decided to take a stab, practice makes perfect and I hope to really utilize that more.
(9) Personally, I am not a fan of wireless remotes. Not knocking them, but I like to "feel" the truck as I move the levers if that makes sense. We do use them, such as on this video (you can see no one is at the control box when it's moving).
(10) Thanks! We get every type of call, you HAVE to think out of the box in this industry.
(11) I'm always looking for ways to improve and value all feedback, even the negative. Unless it's an obvious troll haha
Big Flipper when she was new...still looks this damn good today because Pepe's takes care of it's fleet.
Awesome truck! I’m sure it will be put to use a lot.
thats one bad azz wrecker. congrats
you guys deserve this. totally cool. what name have you given it " mothra"
Towing seems a lot like farming in that it's hard to believe that we get paid to play with such bitchin toys. Nice rig and stay safe.
It’s not as glamorous as you think. Get in one and do it day after day in rain, snow or shine 10, 12, 15 hours a day then say how awesome it is. I did it for 22 years. The fun wears off after a while.
First couple months you feel like the man!!! Truth is I have never seen so many guy's leave a $100,000 - $150,000 job because they get burnt out!!! You got kids a wife but your never home & 90% of the wives don't understand then divorce and all that hard work down the drain!!!
Awesome truck I did giggle a bit at the fridge but good addition for hot long summer days.
We're in Southern California, it's always hot! Nothing like working a 6hr job and having easy access to cold refreshments.
Nice looking truck and set up nice too!
this gets me ALL ...........................excited !!!!!
That's me every day lol
That Is a beautiful....tow....mobile crane. I understand there to heavy to tow with but it still looks a little funny without a under reach. Oh and I think the cab needs more lights to match the body. Can't wait for videos of it in a action.
Thank you for the love!
What year was that design it must be really knew because it has four witch lines on it just on the boom
Congrats, that looks lovely
Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
Beauty of a rig. Surprised to see it isn’t twin steer.
You're gonna have fun with that one. A bit of a challenge to plaza towing :)
Plaza has nothing on pepes
Camera , lights next is action Sharp looking unit
Plenty of action coming soon!
Get hub caps for the rear axle as well
Pepe’s you guys rock that’s is a beautiful piece of machinery! I’m just wondering how much was that big baby ? lol
That's awesome, what a rig 👌
RON PRATT IS GONNA BE JEALOUS NICE TRUCK
Lol, If he was jealous he'd just trade in his rotator for a newer one, I guarantee his company is big enough to manage it.
i cant wait to see this one and the 'hulk" and the 'black cat" when she finally gets repaired do a call together
Nice truck take good care of it!
Awesome truck, but I thought Tom johns towing had the first 75 ton twin steer tow truck?
Nice drone shots! Don't let the FAA see though!
😂😂
I am curious the weight difference with BF and Hulk?
Hermoso! Saludos desde Argentina!
Wow! Nice rig.
Thanks!
Is the weight of the truck 75tons or can this thing pull 75tons??
What is the biggest accident y’all ever had to clear up
It's that the bridge from "to live and die in L.A."?
I don't believe it is, but this bridge is famous and in a lot of movies and commercials.
Great truck we do not get Tow trucks anything like this in the uk unfortunately...
@Adrian Meredith Are you the same person i'm thinking of? Adrian Meredith the photographer who took that amazing Concorde pic?
@@jimgemmell2831 Hi no sorry not me I am afraid.......
@@adrianmeredith6818 no worries....😀😀😀
Who's flying your drone? Stevie Wonder?
Yes
I thought it was Michael J Fox
In a few years y’all going to be Aiming for a 85 ton
No underlift? So you'll never be towing with this?
Truck is so heavy they don’t scale to tow ?
Can be seen in person at a accident of your choice for the low price of 1500$ an hour.
In what area is a Rotator $1,500/hr? Please tell me so I can move there
better than the new star wars movies
AWESOME .
Dammm that's badass, but I have a question for you! What happened to your wheel Lift????
It fell off lol
Kidding obviously! This unit is exclusively for recoveries, not towing. Further, it wouldn't be weight legal in California with it.
That's a beast of a machine...👍😎😁👌
💪💪💪💪💪
Awesome, great video. That truck is amazing. I would work for free. Maybe it’s time to hang up my tool belt and get involved in the towing business:)
Haha maybe one day!
Now they have a 100 ton twin steer axel out. Wow
Which wouldn't be allowed to step foot inside of California lol
Why is dat
@@9carcottrell246 Every state has different rules and regulations for everything. California has strict limits regarding weight.
Pepe's Towing Service no limits on my 400 ton train let’s puuuuuuuuuull
More like no limits on the bullshit you comment on here 9 car.
What heavies does your fleet consists of?
This truck is awesome!!
Glad you like it!
Nice...
What's the gross weight of this beast and who out there has the biggest rotator that you know of? I've curious to know answers to both questions. Thx
This will scale in around 72,000lbs. Statewide has a twin steer 5 axle, Ten West Towing has a bigger one and Bob's Towing has a 100 ton lol
@@PepesTowingService
Shit you should get a 120 ton one
@@PepesTowingService Your forgetting Anaheim Fullerton Towing Has The 60 ton "Black Cat" From 1988
@@9751asd The black cat is legendary, but in terms of size now I was naming other 75tons and bigger
What song is playing? Its cool.
Refrigerator is very good👍👍👍
Hehe, waiting for the M-100!
This is what love at first sight means
😍😍😍
Fascinating, no underlift. Do you tow with that, or is it just a crane?
I understand how hard it is to grasp that a towing company has a rotator with no underlift, but this one was built specifically for recoveries. Our company is quite large and we have 3 other rotators with underlifts. In California especially our laws are very strict when it comes to weight, if we had the underlift we would not be able to have 6 winches. This rotator only gets sent out for lifts, roll-overs, extreme winch outs, etc.
What a superb machine! I notice that you have two main, two auxiliary and two drag winches, but no underlift. I assume that you do not want to use this for towing, but just for recovery.
We'd hate to have this out on a tow if it could so just eliminate the temptation from day one. With those specific specs it wouldn't scale anyway.
Very wise of you, rotators don't make good tow trucks - too big and too heavy. Congratulations on this splendid machine!
most states exempt tow trucks from weight limits under certain circumstances anyway
Beautiful truck and I'd be proud to work it . In my opinion. The flag . Should be Red White and Blue. But nothing else I would change. 👍👍
Thanks!
Savage looking Rotator ! ☆☆☆¿
It does look awesome all lit up 👍
What’s the heaviest thing you think you guys had ever lifted
I uprighted a fully loaded cement mixer with just this truck a month back
Let’s see it pick up a locomotive. I doubt that. Lol435,000 pounds. JUST BRING ALL U GOT
@@9carcottrell246 Obviously, this is a 75ton.
9 car Cottrell, shut the hell up you twat!!!
Six winches!
Sweet Rig Boy's !!!!
I don’t understand how does not have an under reach make the truck stronger
Where does it say that removing the underlift makes it "stronger"?
Pepe's Towing Service sorry I miss read that on the episode when y’all head to recover airplane on the highway it said that no under lift means you can have more space for equipment
@@michaelaaron4212 yes, that one is obvious. The rear opens up and we have extra storage there. But that is not the reason it does not have an underlift
Pepe's Towing Service is it because most companies don’t like to use a rotator to tow vehicles away because they want to keep it available in case they get a big job
Nice truck love the flag too.
Thank you!
Since LAFD and LACo FD has their own rotators, how do you guys get jobs? Just curious.
They don't do tows or recoveries. Only extractions.
I got a question, who is Pepe?
Jose "Pepe" Acosta was my grandpa, he passed away in 1992
@@PepesTowingService : Sorry to hear that. thanks for the info.
Nice rig. In my opinion, i would have gotten an auto since it wont tow anything.
Does Big Flipper or Hulk have the walking boom feature?
They should have added a cafe or a burrito bar in it for what it probably costs!....Just Saying
Damn that's actually not a bad idea 😂
Its called PEPES' food service truck , and does good sales at various scenes . LOL.
Where is the under reach?
Omg I think it fell off
1150r??
No, 75 ton
Hot!
Why don’t you guys make constant videos ?? Like other tow truck channels here on CZcams
I really want to put much more content but it's not as easy as it seems. Most of our biggest calls from our accounts (such as 7-up, Penske, etc) and these accounts do not want their accidents uploaded. Another big reason is when we get emergency calls, we have to work fast. When it's just myself or with another truck working a wreck, we have to concentrate and I don't have time to set up the drone and everything. When I have a full crew though I can which is where my videos come from. I just bought a Gopro tripod so that I can start recording more when I'm solo so that should help me upload more content.
@@PepesTowingService I know this is your decision, but i think many of us would enjoy just a camera on the boom or have the camera set atop the truck angled at the wreck so we can see whats going on in general. would be pretty cool!
@@kappajohns5416 That's a great suggestion! If I get the new GoPro 7, I could try mounting this one on the boom just as you stated.
Shit 75 tons that it what the hell man it should be 150 tons one. I actually don't know if they make it that high even but IDC
75 ton is the max, thus far, anything more is a custom home fabricated kit and just a wrecker, otherwise if it rotated it would be that of a normal crane.
@@Joshua79C
Maybe some body should make one say you for example.
jerrdan makes a 85ton nrc has a 80ton there is 1 or 2 100ton floting around.they are b&b bodys if i remembe right

What happened with the real American flag
Damnnnnnnnn 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
💯💯💯
No touch screens for the lights and pro control. No touch screen in the back so you dont have the scales or the lifting limit gauge. No underreach so it's a crane without the saftey features built into all the actual rotators. I guess you will use it for roll overs and winchouts and misc lifts. Without an underreach it's not a rotator it's a crane.
We have 2 60 ton rotators and a 50 ton rotator, in addition to a massive fleet of heavy wreckers. This truck is exclusively a recovery vehicle. You obviously are not from California where we have strict weight laws, adding the under lift would make it illegal. Sorry you aren't impressed, guess it's a good thing you don't own this :)
Nasty👌👌
Adonde está la bandera mejicana 🇲🇽

Chale
u people may have a good Tow truck but u need someone who nkows how to operate the equipment u show poor quality whow to operate
