Hyundai & Kia. Both are apparently pretty easy to steal. We pick up ALOT of both.

A Hyundai that’s not stolen, what a surprise!

Looks like fun in the sun!
Usually I get those calls once it really starts raining with thunder and lightning.

Collins carrier dolly, it’s been invaluable on calls like this.

An interesting job one of my top guys did the other day.
this Subaru WRX has air suspension & the right side was completely deflated & unable to inflate. He used the carrier dolly system & race ramps to load & unload this car.
The customer was extremely grateful the we were able to complete this job without damaging his car.

FYI, you can lessen the angle of the pull on the tow eye by using a snatch block off the tow eye and the other end of your winch line back to the front of the bed to the side of the tow eye. I have used this method many times without a problem.
I believe I saw this method on the old “tow411” years ago.I am not a fan of tow eyes as you cannot assess the structural integrity of the eye or the threaded connection in the bumper.

Got a call early this moring to tow a Ford Transit off the side of the beltway. Upon my arrival, I asked the driver what had happened. His reply was that he heard "BUMP" and the van stopped moving & cut off. I smelled gasoline to took a look under the van. Tailshaft sheared off trans & took out brake lines & fuel line.

Fuel surcharges should be added to ALL invoices the same way shop charges are added to a repair order.
Percentage or a flat fee, it is the choice of the company owners.
We chose the "flat fee" on a tiered system per invoice depending on "miles traveled" & total cost of service. It hasn't completely offset the soaring price of fuel, but has helped.

Update: this is the heaviest & largest load thus far. 96 F 350 Long bed 4dr diesel, (dispatched as a F250 pickup).
Our F550 handled the load well. I wouldn't want to go through winding mountain roads with it, but on a short flatland tow was no problem. As I have stated before, I wouldn't make this a everyday practice, but I have no reservations about loading one of these once in a blue moon.

We have found that 1 pair of go jacks can be handy when not getting our carrier "straight in line" load position with the disabled vehicle. The biggest thing is to secure the carrier dollys to the wheels of the vehicle. Also, we carry some 36 inch pieces of luan plywood to assist when loading on non ideal road surfaces.

Tracker is a towing company specific software that we started with in 1992 ( wow, that is forever ago) & have been with them ever since. Try looking them up at Trackermanagement.com
They are based in Ohio & we have found their support to be excellent. We are using their cloud based software & have found it to be very user friendly .
