  1. Anybody aware of any rollback manufacturers operating manual stating- winching is required for all loading & unloading?   Obviously  the winch facilitates the loading of inoperable vehicles.

     

    The load angle of most rollbacks is far less than  the steep road grade street parking in a few local towns ( North Bergen, Ridgefield NJ).   Transmission parking pawl failures are very rare, but possible,  just as likely as a winch cable or winch failure 

     

    An “experienced operator”  should be able to determine loading method on a case-by-case basis

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  2. Only reason we decided  to use the single line  4500 was because we were dispatched @ midnight, after NYC curfew & had to drive through part of city where there were issues occurring.  Truck had been stuck halfway into the road for over 5 hours

    Truck was fully loaded with furniture.  With some jacking & timber, the Ram got it done

  3. According to the FMSCA.gov “the average cost of all large truck crashes is about $91,000 per crash” without any fatalities 

    Average non consensual/accident truck tow + ‘add-ons’ on the low end is $15k to well over $150k.  When the majority of tow invoices are the highest percentage of the total accident cost, you actually believe they ‘don’t have their own line on a insurance companies balance sheet’ ?

     

    Statistics in regards to lighr duty are to varied

     

     Obviously there are a number of factors that affect premiums, but, don't kid yourself if you believe all the way overinflated invoices from litagation, medical & yes towing, aren’t one of the contributing factors
