Trailer Rolls Over to OPPOSITE side of Freeway! This year has been relentless for us in regards to these super crazy complex jobs. This one came in the middle of our famous lithium-ion battery explosion job, and while we handled it with ease, at first it looked like a super complicated job. I think it was just the optics of seeing a fully loaded 53' badly damaged trailer dangling over the center divider, blocking both sides of the freeway.
But as always, we have to see the end at the beginning. Alex and I knew the best way to tackle this was to get everything back to the right side, which was the side where it came off the tractor. By working everything from here, we kept lanes closed to a minimum and opened up the westbound lanes fast.
Our method of recovery was to barrel roll the trailer back up and over the divider, using our custom Bailey's Tow Accessories 2' wide recovery straps. This was a calculated risk that paid off huge. And since my boom isn't as long as Flippers, I compensated by using the divider to my advantage as a pivot point. All in all another tough job in the books.
What did everyone think of our game plan and how we executed it? BTW don't forget, EVERYTHING is 10% (including my new cool shirt) at shop.pepestowLA.com.
