You got good friends.
I've known him since he was 18 years old and he'll be 50 in November! He used to deliver newspapers to my house. He's done really well and owns one of the biggest towing and recovery companies on Oahu. He has some serious equipment including huge rotator tow trucks, cranes and more and gets to do all of the difficult recoveries that few others can handle.

Yup, I have definitely not made the right friends.
Generally, most of my friends and relatives only give me grief.

I have some of those too! The type that only calls when they need something and/or borrows equipment and returns it in a considerably worst state than it left in.

There are streets named after those type of people "ONE WAY"

That 7.2L Cummins paired with an Allison transmission should make the topside creeper handle even the toughest jobs smoothly. Vehicles without A/C but with heat can actually be more durable in heavy towing environments since there are fewer components to fail. For anyone looking to upgrade or find a reliable tow truck setup, Crawford Truck Sales in Lancaster, MA, has a wide selection of new and used Jerr-Dan trucks, plus service support for all makes and models. Having a trusted local supplier like them makes sourcing parts or scheduling maintenance much easier, especially when working with specialized equipment like overhead creepers.
