  1. Just on real heavy trucks like a loaded tri axle dump or fire truck etc.
  2. You definitely want to front tow that going 500 miles. Quite a bit of weight lifting the rear and putting that on the front axle, just won't tow nice from the rear.
  3. Looks good to me, you have them positioned correctly. I would just run a chain or a strap over leaf springs and underneath the underlift.
  4. Agero and out of my area and paid my rate
  5. https://www.readingeagle.com/news/local/2-reportedly-killed-in-crash-on-route-222-in-ontelaunee-township/article_9dc72dfa-c318-11ea-9312-67c773a8ed98.html 2 good samaritins killed changing flat tire on 222 Reading PA
  6. I guess what I am getting at is that all these motor clubs think you have fleet of trucks and guys ready to run their calls. They send you an automated message or text with seconds to respond if we are accepting or declining a call. At night or weekends I need a minute or two to see who is available and if they want to go? I would just think that there are a lot of small tow companies versus the big 3 shift tow companies like 75 percent small and 25 percent big, but just guessing.
  7. Does anybody have figures relating to how many small tow companies are in America that let's say have a couple trucks and a couple drivers that basically operate 8:00 am - 5:00 pm and after hours owner answers phone and see which one of his guys can do a tow at night or on the weekend versus companies that have 3 manned shifts and dispatchers around the clock?
  8. I towed them backwards already with a can on, but my front end was plenty light and I have a 2,000 pound weight below my front bumper. Pulling axles sucks.
  9. Good luck on your new adventure. My future son in law has a Tesla. Not sure I am quite ready yet for an electric vehicle.
  10. I get a wreck over the guardrail every 5 years, you guys seem to get them every couple weeks.
  11. Just not into all of the technology. ( I am 51 years old)
  12. Amen to the driveline disconnect C. J. Wagner Inc 110 West LIncoln Avenue Myerstown PA 17067
  13. My heavy is a stainless steel body and it originally had dri-dek and it is old and falling apart. Miller has some really nice stuff on a roll but it is like $900 for a roll to do a truck. What are you guys using? Wasn't sure if I would get heavy rubber matting at a hardware store and possibly glue it down so it doesn't move around?
  14. Best to start it out on a brand new truck. If there are nicks or burs in winch drum or rollers, it will ruin new cable. I tow wrecks on my flatbed so battery acid and sharp metal would not be friendly to synthetic rope.
  15. Cool, I wanted to get to the auction but we had a vacation planned. I am a mopar muscle fan.
  16. 164 views nobody has knowledge if this can be done or if it shouldn't be done? Or if you ever did it or you never tried it?
  17. A local competitor just towed a single axle pusher motor home backward by forking the Reese tow receiver. Is this ok? I thought I read years ago that towing a motor home backwards by the frame the whole unit could flex and blow side windows out? Thoughts? Anyone here tow them backwards?
  18. we use vital through our local bank 1 free unit and extras are $100 and $3 a month per unit and 1.5 percent. Bluetooth to android or i-phone
  19. Good job. What did you do to get rid of the gas fumes exactly? We had some Uhuals get the cat converter stolen and had to build cages around them.
  20. we have barb wire on but our insurance would not let us put on razor wire. i would like to add 400 volts to it also. Ha Ha.. Local copart yard has fence electrified with warning signs in spanish.
  21. last couple years we are $40 a day with a $40 gate fee
  22. Best thing we ever did. People would come in the middle of the night and clean their wrecked car out and never come in to pay tow. Now, you pay first and then we open the fence, helped greatly on abandoning your wrecked car without full coverage.
