Episode 2 of Behind The Boom - How My Dad Built California’s Largest Tow Company

Welcome back to Behind the Boom, the podcast from Pepe’s Towing Service.

In this episode we sit down and talk about how Pepe’s went from running a single truck to building a serious heavy recovery operation. We dive into the story behind buying the first rotator, how the second and third came later, and what it actually takes to operate these machines on some of the toughest jobs on the road.

This episode is pure shop talk. We get into heavy duty towing, the realities of working major accidents, the skills required to run a rotator, and some of the toughest recoveries we have handled over the years.

If you have ever wondered what goes into heavy recovery work or what it takes to become a heavy duty operator, this episode gives you a real look behind the scenes.
