  1. We have been using it for couple of years now works well.
  2. Radio advertising in out business does not pay for itself.The amount of money for the amount of spots you would have to run becomes astronomical.Been there,Done that very costly lesson.
  3. I hope it made an impression on him to the reality of the tow industry.
  4. Since you are not looking to be in towing business I would look at something like a zacklift that is detachable and allows you to use tractor for other purposes when necessary.
  5. There is not one FedEx truck that I picked up that should be on the road.
  6. This driver was in a rush to get home at the end of the day unfortunately bald tires and Ice don't mix. His boss was extremely happy we stopped to help.
  7. Looks like straps were not properly used if you watch it frame by frame.
  8. The strap is around the tire basically because tire was flat wet and slippery and I didnt want tire to slip thru cross bar.
  9. Extension is out so far because snow ,mud and gravel that got stuck in front of tube when picking it up.Once I got to road after pics cleaned it up and pulled it back in.
  10. Just another vehicle I was told I need a flatbed for Not!
  11. We get a call from very depressed sounding customer at the end of the day.His ranger was stuck in back yard apparently tried all day to get it out. When we got there truck was sunk up to frame and differential was actually buried.It was a pretty straightforward winch out with the happiest customer I have seen in a while.Was only about100 feet
  12. Its amazing how many tow truck drivers do stupid things like this.There is zero understanding here how a tow bar works.This setup will turn over the tow truck easily or at very least overstress components of wrecker body that could fail catastrophically at a later date.
  13. Sad to see this.Nobody hurt is what is most important.Good Luck on speedy recovery.
  14. I drive thru this area all the time the drivers act like animals. Nobody believes in slow down and move over and I get cutoff nonstop.Hope that there wasnt serious injuries.
  15. Wish I could help more because that looks like the unit I had on my 59GMC. Still looking for old pictures.What may make it more identifiable is that the booms were mounted halfway up the mast.
  16. ITD has 2 moving parts pivot and locking pin Collins has more parts in winter that get full of ice and snow.I do like ratchet feature. The ones that handle heavier loads are also alot heavier at 3 oclock in the morning.No matter what brand it is.
  17. I would love for action to be taken against certain officers who stole my calls from the list here .Same as everywhere complaints fall on deaf ears but they sure want their permit money every year.
  18. Beware of deep potholes and high curbs no matter which brand you buy.
  19. Today on Long Island expressway 2 flatbeds did not slow down and move over 1 sheriff and 1 police cruiser along with everybody else . This is the mentality of the public now.If it doesnt make them money or affect them they dont care. Law enforcement and large fines would make a huge difference.Instead They would rather use motor carrier safety to make 1000 dollars on a burnt out headlight ticket. Unless a large amount of people who are affected by this danger get together and every week cause some sort of ruckus nothing is ever going to change and more people will be injured or killed. My temporary answer has been to close down 2 lanes of highway even for flat tire some police have respected move some have not.When asked why I do this I try to explain how many tow drivers are injured and killed every year most seem to get it.
