Tractor Trailer Fire w/ Clean Up...

[EdsTowing]

Had a 3am truck fire the other night...

 

 

Fortunately the fire company got it out before it got to the batteries, fuel tanks or tires...

 

 

We cleaned up the heavy debris that night but informed them that we would be back in the day light to do a proper restoration...

 

 

Scraped up the mess & dumped in to our Dump Truck for disposal...

 

That's a pretty fish, isn't it?...😁

 

Forgot the seed & straw so one of the guys brought it up to us...

 

 

In 2 weeks you won't even tell that anything happened here...

 

 

Mostly just charred residue & dirt so we dump this in a roll off can I keep at the shop.

 

 

Pretty sure this one is ALL done...

May be that will buff out!

Nice work. Did you guys take the trailer as well, or did the trucking company pick that up?

No as soon as I got on scene, the Officer told me that the driver had someone coming for the trailer. That's typically not my procedure but I didn't rock the boat.

Hey the customer is always right!  .................  I add "most of the time" LOL!

The problem with that is you may not get paid being the tractor is salvage. If you take the trailer even if the insurance doesn't pay the owner of the trailer or freight may pay. Great job! And I hope you get paid!! It's sucks working for free and being stuck with a pile of trash!

I verified coverage today and an adjuster is coming to inspect the casualty. We should be ok

 

I based this job around the property damage to increase my chances of compensation...sometimes you just have to do the job to the best of your ability and then worry about figuring a way to get paid after completion. Leaving a mess like this made would have repercussions long after this truck is settled...
