Still Here

Imagine if the tow is successful and this group shows up at your yard to retrieve the vehicle.

Still here and all is well.

I am not a fan of motor clubs either, but I do some work for Agero and other clubs through dealer preferred programs where the rates are MUCH higher and can be renegotiated. But I agree with what you are saying. I get approached constantly by other clubs whose rates are lower than what I was getting in the eighties when I started. My question is after the boycott what then? What happens on Monday? Like Grumps says there is always going to be someone, it's their business model and always has been. Look at how the salvage auctions picked up on it and turned themselves into motor clubs, those haulers earn nothing, they fold after 6 months, but someone always thinks they have it figured out.

This is what you get when you let You Tube and Facebook train your drivers for you. What really amazes me more than lack of concern for the equipment is that the driver doesn't seem concerned that he was standing where the car was landing.

If the owner calls within a day or two and wants to dispose of the car I try to get the hook up fee (usually 150-200) and the title, by the close of business the following day. You have to put a short time limit or it just drags on and on. If the owner has no title NY DMV has a form we can fill out for a car over 8 years old and worth less than $1250, only good for disposal at a registered salvage yard. We fill that out with a copy of license and registration and keep it with our own release and paid tow bill.
