It actually did take them 19 hours. But I agree, seems a long time to me.MUSKYMAN said:I have recovered trucks in worse places...if you have the correct equipment and enough of it thats not that tough a deal.
DISCODOWN said:only 19 hrs?
tow truck companies bill hourly on winching and off rd recoveries...
as a tow truck owner and former tow company owner let me say i'd bitched if one of my guys got that truck as fast as they did...
once insurance agrees or i get dum dum to sign my ticket-i can charge whatever basically -as my deal -and they'll pay storage too as i get lien against the truck...my tow bills alone have totalled many vehicles as insurance adds it in to damages and will only allow so much before it goes. As recoverys go- that did not impress me as a very tough one at all to say the least...i prob wouldve drove the truck out and still charged in full for the recovery........
using the guys he had helping in the first place not suggested...
