TT vs Jeep Cherokee Truck Crash...

[EdsTowing]

This is the 4th or 5th truck wreck we have had in this intersection...the trucks turn left heading for the interstate and they must think they have the right a way and turn in front of southbound vehicles. It came in as car versus tractor trailer w/ a large spill so we headed with the Calvary...It was after hours but fortunately a few of my guys were still at the shop and we still had everything on scene in 15 min....

 

 

Traffic was making it's way around the incident and had tracked the spill all through the intersection. We brought the sweeper there which makes quick work of a dozen bags of absorbent.

 

 

It ripped the steer axle out of it on the right side so we had to secure it back in place to tow it...

 

 

Everything gets dumped right in the dump truck then...

 

 

 

Once it was secure, I backed the unit through the intersection to get pointed the right way. Everybody loaded up and we roll out as a team...

 

 

Got paid this morning and delivered the truck to a body shop 35 miles away...

 

 

Overall it was a nice little job. It makes it worth while to have the support equipment for stuff like this.

Ed do you charge more for the skid steer and sweeper or is it the same clean up fee just makes it quicker for you?
As always nice job!

We charge for the Skid Steer, the sweeper and it's transportation...all on a 4hr min for large incidents. I don't send it on every job but if I know we will have a decent size mess, it's going.
