  1. We are rural as well, one of the insurance companies got a tow company from 60+ miles away to send a truck to my closest city and run calls. They had one or two trucks covering from about 8am to 8pm. When this started the company had two older trucks that I had seen, shortly after, I started to see pretty new trucks. I did a bit of snooping online and found that this company had changed it's name more than once, had horrible reviews, and was looking for help advertising making big money on commission. My calls from the company went down, naturally, for about a year, now the calls are back on the rise and I don't see those trucks as much. Seems there will be a never-ending cycle of this type of "company"
  2. 1 geico 2 allstate 3 nsd / questx 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Agero we dont take their calls even out of network anymore
  3. That looks pretty neat, but I doubt practical. It also looks like it would be limited in capacity since the axles are all the way back. I had seen a goose neck set up like a landoll, that was interesting too. I would like to get a tilt deck trailer for the long distance runs to keep the rollbacks freed up. I just cant seem to justify the expense because I am not sure how much I would actually use it
  4. I am thinking about a gooseneck tilt or sliding deck as well. I just cant seem to find what I am looking for. I dont do semi's so something smaller. A buddy of mine runs a Landoll at his job, it is a great trailer but it does have maintenance issues. The new one his company got had suspension bolt issues as a I recall.
  5. As I understand it, Beacon has been bought out so that may be the difference you are seeing. We are happy with Towbook, but we do not use it to gain extra calls simply for tracking
  6. She's a rough rider but she is always ready to work.
  7. We got a weird one for us yesterday. Cruise America calls about 2pm and asks if I can move a class B camper for them. It was picking up locally and when she gave me the destination address, I did not recognize the town, usually I do. They want to move this thing 260 miles to western PA on the turnpike, to a rest area. One of their rentals has broken down and they want me to take them a good one. I have never worked for them before, and I didn't really want to go so I used my regular formula to bid and added an extra 20%, they didn't even flinch. I asked about the broken unit and the lady says she is getting someone else to move that. I thought it was kind of stupid, they would not be able to move that on until the people got their stuff out of it after I get there, and I will be right there. She paid me upfront with CC So, off I go. It was a brand-new Ford that broke down, and they started having issues the day before. There were 2 mid-thirties couples in the unit, and they started out in DC and were headed to California. I did get to see my first snow flurries of the years though!!!!!!
  8. That one is yours, at least you got the title just took me three months to get paperwork on three of them
  9. In over a year and a half now, we have not taken a single call that was dispatched OON through Tow book. The rates are ridiculously low. Agero is no longer associated with Towbook on OON calls so the levels of those annoying calls has gone down, but HONK is now doing the same thing. Fortunately, Honk is not a big as Agero so there are not as many calls. I have also read where Honk is not doing well, so hopefully they go away completely soon. My recommendation, do not buy any subscription software in an effort to gain more business. It is simply cutthroat rates and the motor clubs trying to exploit companies who need work.
  10. I think there is a website portal to request to become a vendor.
  11. We dont do a whole lot of Uhaul but got two this weekend. This one blew a spark plug out of the head, and was towing a car trailer. They had us take them 70 miles to the closest facility with a truck on Sunday night. Uhaul takes care of their customers when they have problems, I'll say that.
  12. This was called in a 5 am, about an hour from the shop. They tried using a towel under the wheels, that was a new one on me.
  13. I wouldn't go remove them just because the owner of the storage facility sent letters to the person who rented the space in any state.
