Topkickguy Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 Had this call for a ranger in the ditch, extraction was done with a f650 with 22' NRC deck. Came out easily and no further damages To the casualty. Quote
GRUMPS The Towman Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 Nice. What we say around here for these ones is that the driver ran fresh out of talent. 😀 1 Quote PROFESSIONAL TOWING & RECOVERY IS NOT JUST A JOB.. IT IS A LIFESTYLE
BlackAutoload Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 This looks very difficult actually with a typical carrier Quote

We see alot of recoverys like this and use our carriers unless the wrecker is closer to it. Quote
