"Just Off The Edge Of The Driveway"....Yah....

[EdsTowing]

Uhaul came in for stuck just off the driveway in the yard... When I got there, I backed down the driveway and chuckled... I looked at the guy and said "Well this started out with a bad decision"... he just shook his head yes.

 

 

I thought I would be short on rope and wanted to double up my line so I locked it in 4wd and backed down a bit to get closer. It was pretty wet and I didn't want to tear it up more then they already did...

 

 

Once I got it close, I pulled up on the driveway and winched it the rest of the way. They backed down there to cut a big tree & load it in the box...

 

 

I could start a book  called "What Folks Can Do With A Uhaul Truck"...LoL

This was called in a 5 am, about an hour from the shop.  They tried using a towel under the wheels, that was a new one on me.

I have all kids of wood (planks, fire wood, ect...), floor mats...one time the guy put a spare tire & wheel in front of it? I told him they have a word for that...it's called a "wheel chock"! Had a screen door once... One of the worse was a guy put a mattress under the wheel....tires wouldn't grip it but the driveshaft sure did! What a F'n mess that was when the coils all wrapped around the shaft....

 

Yea Uhaul has made me a lot of money over the years... 😁

The funniest thing I've seen was some tweekers got stuck in the mud in a little car and took a tire tool and aluminum baseball bat and ratchet strapped them to the rim to make paddles to try and get out the mud. I wish I would have gotten pictures. Me and the deputy both couldn't believe it.

We dont do a whole lot of Uhaul but got two this weekend.  This one blew a spark plug out of the head, and was towing a car trailer.  They had us take them 70 miles to the closest facility with a truck on Sunday night.  Uhaul takes care of their customers when they have problems, I'll say that.

We have a Uhaul center near us. We are not currently signed up with them for towing. Just wondering if you guys just filled out the service provider form out online to start getting calls from them? Thanks!

Honestly we have been doing work for them for so long I don't recall how we started....LoL

I think there is a website portal to request to become a vendor.

I remember the days when you couldn't do recoveries with an autoloader!
