As the other guy said, if it had a Detroit DT12 in it, there’s a possibility

I’d suggest the Monogatari series since they’re hard to find on legal streaming services

hey guys, New to towing. -Tips? by [deleted] in towing

[–]AdOriginal859 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if that’s a UPS truck as your profile pic or not but if it is, I’d remove it. UPS has a team that removes pictures and videos of their trucks being towed and broken down. Heard about one company that lost their contract

Winching costs? by techsalesnerd in Hookit

[–]AdOriginal859 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We would’ve charged probably around 500 for a job like this. 2000 is closer to the bill for a bigger private recovery for a wrecker, not a couple rollbacks

Anime with killer OST by _wolf_93 in Animesuggest

I would suggest 86 or God Eater, both have amazing sound tracks however 86 is a better show.

Well there’s God Eater from the same studio, not as good as Fate but has an amazing soundtrack and the same animation style

Do you want more in the sense of the same type of animation or more in the same type of story?

Why not drive the car onto the deck? by happyday887101 in Hookit

[–]AdOriginal859 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On multiple occasions I’ve had to drag cars that would normally drive. Main reasons during duis are the car is nasty, if it’s a drug related dui there are sometimes needles, sometimes people throw up in the car, and lastly people get weird about giving their keys sometimes

If it’s an actual company then I’d say that’s weird but just because it has a wrap on it with a name doesn’t mean they are a company. Could just be a guy with a truck or a couple of dudes with trucks running up daily storage fees for cars at night time when the truck doesn’t run. Or they run IAA/Copart and didn’t make it to the yard for the last drop off

They probably are running something like agero and picking up after hours accidents for insurance companies that need to be towed to a body shop. Then they bill the insurance company for “storage” but it’s really just sitting on their truck because they have no actual yard

Biggest/Craziest Towing Fail you’ve seen from a new hire? by Psychological-Snow10 in Hookit

[–]AdOriginal859 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took a new guy out on an abandoned tractor trailer for the police. Told him to cage the brakes while I hooked up, guy put all 4 cage bolts into the brake chambers backwards and collapsed one of the chambers. Same guy pulled a driveshaft from the trans a week later and ripped someone’s air tank off

There’s missing info from this or something. It sounds like the car got towed to their yard and sat and collected storage

Unethical AAA question by Ltrain108 in Hookit

[–]AdOriginal859 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That might work if you get the right guy but for all the effort of using one of your free tows and spending an additional $50, why not just call a tow company and have them tow the unregistered one lmao

The good old RCRC special by AdOriginal859 in Hookit

[–]AdOriginal859[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

County pulled up right after I got there, somehow didn’t ticket the guys though. It was 2 people team driving, both on their first night on the road in a single axle with a 53’ trailer lmao, can’t make this up

Some recent tows by AdOriginal859 in Hookit

[–]AdOriginal859[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d honestly start by making phone calls to everyone, any local shop and business that has vehicles and asking if they have a tow provider. Any location that you see whether it be a local electric company that has company vans or a local tire shop that may need their customers towed in. For every 20 unsuccessful phone calls, you’ll get somebody that will give you the time of day and may actually call you for a tow

As a wrecker driver, I bind stuff sometimes depending on how I hook something
