Did you check your mail today?

Received a call from Murphy's Towing and Recovery to respond to the scenic highway in Bourne for a US Postal delivery truck that rolled over the guardrail, landing down a 20' drop.

 

We responded with our 60 ton rotator to reach over the guardrail and flip over the overturned truck and lift it straight up without puncturing any brake lines or the fuel tanks, preventing an environmental clean up.

Surprised to see they didn't have another mail truck out there to offload the mail. I have worked a couple wrecks that

involved mail trucks and they wouldn't even let me touch them until the post master showed up. Nice use of a tator.

They tried to off load it there but the state police told them no way murphy's brought it to the post office and they off loaded the mail and they took it back to there shop the post office called us today and said bill us i said no way because you know we would be chasing our money i told them when we buy stamps you dont bill us same go,s for the recovery bill pay us youy get your truck like everyone else .., guess what they will be there Monday with a check // I KNOW THEY HAVE THE MONEY ,, THANKS ERIC

I agree 100%. To many times you find out the hard way that the ones with the money are the hardest ones the collect from.

Very nice work and pictures!!

I agree they need to pay up like everyone else,the only problem that I see is after that bill the postage stamps will probably get raised???????,,,,,L.O.L.

Big Wheel boys making it look easy again...

Glad you guys do have a working relationship with other co's. I find it irratating that some with just a 1-ton wrecker will go and try to pull out that 80,000 lb. loaded tractor-trailer burried in the mud instead of calling someone with the right equipment to handle the job safely.."60% of the time, I am right every time."

Was there a reason you just didn't set it down on the flatbed that is sitting there?

George we were dealing with bumper to bumper traffic so for saftey sake we pull the truck behind the tater,drove the tater away an the ramp backed up.Besides I didn't want to swing the mail truck over the tater cab I was working with Murphy. thanks BOB
