That dude in the mud is SCREWED
How much would it cost to get that guy out
I dont know for sure. When I was in a wrecker a few years back it was around 110 to 112 bucks an hour to work on something like that. Oh and thats PER truck. You'd need 2 heavy duty wreckers to get that Cat track hoe out for sure.
...or a sign
Yup Foisy, if that guy wasn't the owner and the driver survived the mid then the owner will kill him for shur!
Crap! So even a salvage lik that wouldn't put a dent in the $300,000 for the wrecker
You would need a lot more idiots to pull out to get it payed off.
NOPE! And thats why most trucks get over a million miles on them and after a while a owner will swap out the cab and chassie and put the same old wrecker boom and tool boxes on a fresh new truck to keep costs down. I worked at a wrecker company that had a 1972 Kenworth rotator. It had well over one million miles so the bossman bought a brand new Western Star cab and chassie and took the old boom and body off the old and stuck it on the new.
OMG a million miles
Well, that makes perfectly good sense to swap over the money making end if it all still works. It's hard to believe people make money with those things
A wrecker with a rotator boom on it is a money making truck. Its basically a crane thats faster down the highway and faster at recovery work. The rotator boom will spin a complete 360 degrees making it very useful on the side of the highway when traffic space is limited.
Check out the reality show "Wrecked". Its based on a Chicago area towing company.

If you are into big trucks and big wrecks its a good half hour.

Seen it and LOVE IT! I watch that show all the time. Brings back alot of memories when I was in a wrecker.
Wrecked must be out of my market......damn it!
The closest show I have watched is Parking Wars, although not bad and kinda funny at times.

I think it was the green thing upside down in the car wash that started all this off off topic discussion.
