Heavy duty towing gone wrong!

  • On today's episode, watch me handle a tricky job that resulted from a pretty hard crash on the freeway. Another tow truck was called to pull this guy off to safety, and in the process one of the boxes loaded with dirt fell forward. It is my understanding that this was not the fault of the tow truck driver, since the frame/wheel locks were compromised during the initial crash.
    Either way, Hulk, my Peterbilt 50ton Century rotator, was there to save the day. First step was to remove the transfer that fell off the rails, then have my heavy wrecker pull the tractor attached to the first transfer out of the way. Once airborne, my Landoll was able to back up underneath so I can set it down and strap it for transport to Fontana.
    While the yard in Fontana was pretty big with a ton of room, the specific spot he wanted the units was pretty tight. I positioned Hulk to where I can lift the transfer off the back from my Landoll, and carefully swing it 90 degrees counter clockwise back onto his trailer. All in a days work over here at Pepe's!

    To Pepe', and all of your crew, I have operated rollbacks and light duty wreckers equipped with twin cables and have been able to do some amazing things after I was trained by people who knew more than me. I have not done any heavy duty wrecker work, but I have driven heavy trucks for about 8-10 years. I know it is much more dangerous as well as definitely more difficult!

    Josh, this is not 'cockiness' nor is it 'bragging', this is called having con- fidence in what you are doing along w/ your crew.Someone in a reply to this video mentioned about towing in Canada.It's a whole new ballgame in British Columbia, Canada and the Eastern part of Canada with the type of weather encountered up North.They are dealing with multi axle B trains , heavy snows, rock slides,avalanches, mud slides and the same issues with the time limits to clear the wreckage and get the road open. Thanks to you and your crew for these fine videos!!

  • @jeffreylyon9643

    To Carlos, as a truck driver, and a former light/med duty wrecker operator, I can tell you. It is easy to back up while straight in a heavy truck, but it takes skill to back up around a corner. The only way to get better at backing while you turn is to practice in a space where you are not limited by obstacles around you. Gain some confidence in what you can do, and you won't have any more issues!

    I appreciate seeing someone use a rotator as intended and to it’s potential. Too many companies are buying them these days and not putting in the time to learn how to properly operate them. I’ve seen a lot of unnecessary damage to the casualty during recoveries due to operator ignorance or laziness, not to mention the unnecessary abuse to the rotator itself for the same reasons. Thank you for representing the industry with class and for showing that while rotators have brute force, a little thought, finesse and precision go a long way when operating one.

    Great job man, lots of times at accidents it's the loads that do the damage not the trucks even when purpose built.
    I drove and worked with heavy construction plant and low boys most of my working life, I would like to suggest using two guide ropes so the banks-men keep well away from the load, don't stand in the line of the boom because they most tip forward and go out of radius.
    Lifting loads in yards may seam safe but you never know whats underground that could collapse, worked on a job in London UK and we found cellars right where the cranes would be.

    In one of your other video's you told about using fire hose to protect your straps. So I bought some and use them on my straps for protection of them when hauling my old farm tractors to tractor shows. Sure is a lot nicer then using the chains. Thanks a lot for the idea.

    I really enjoy watching your videos. I couldn't help but notice that your shadow looked somewhat like a Qewpie(sp) doll. Thank you for another very entertaining show.
