So I never got to recover my vehicle cause it was 3 hours away and not worth the effort once I got home.

Having a Mustang, I choose to have AAA. My car has taken the 100 mile trip to Marks house in Sac a few times. Ive never had a bad experience with them, except the night they made me sit for 3 hours or so in Vacaville to get over the rush hour mess. Maybe the tow truck driver was trying to be the hero in your case..... There are those kind of people everywhere, not just in the towing field. I have that in my field too. The recycle driver will tell the costomer "oh yea the garbage man will take that for you", and I get there, and Im like you better show me the money that extra shit! lol...

Tow truck drivers drive too damn fast i think, i'll be in the slow lane doing 65 and i'll have one race up on my ass while hes towing someone.
I like the accident recoveries, repelling 75 ft. down cliff to roll over car, then get it out. most tow drivers are not mechanics...but I am. I choose not to work on car because i'm lazy. I make more money towing somewhere else.
why did you do that? Its not economically sound, costs too damn much. Off mosquito ridge in foresthill there is 15 cars and trucks down the 100ft cliff. we get calls all the time from drivers who see them and think they are an accident or something. They never pulled the cars out cause its not worth the trouble.

If you have full coverage insurance the insurance company is obligated to pay for and remove the wrecked veh from my yard. chp rate is 160 per hr light duty, 200 per hr med duty. time starts when I leave shop til I return. sr88,sr89,hwy 4 are scenic highways. chp makes me move them...sometimes I get stuck with total junk.
