any wrecker owners/operators

LAST EDITED ON Dec-27-08 AT 07:19PM (MST)[p]im kicking the idea around about buying a tow truck and starting a small business in central idaho. im a carpenter/contractor by trade, have been self employed for 17 years. but its a little slow here. im thinking that the towing business should be somewhat recession proof.i should be able to keep a pretty low overhead. any advice? no i dont have any experence, but i didnt have any in the the construction trade either when i first started.we live in a resort town with allot of snow, that should keep me somewhat busy. i should also be able to get on the county sherrif towing rotation also.

OK!!!

LET ME SPLAIN IT TO YOU!!!

I LOVE TOW TRUCKS!!!

WHAT I LIKE EVEN MORE THAN TOW TRUCKS IS:::

ALL THEM TOW TRUCK DRIVERS SITTING BY THEIR SCANNERS WAITING TO HEAR ABOUT THE NEXT ACCIDENT/WRECK!!!

THEN THEY JUMPS IN THEIR TRUCKS & IT'S A BIG FRICKEN RACE TO SEE WHO CAN GET THERE FIRST!!!

THAT SMART REMARK Beefy MADE ABOUT THE DODGES???

WELL NEXT TIME YOU'RE IN SLC & YOU SEE A WRECK???

JUST PULL OFF TO THE SIDE & WATCH TO SEE WHAT BREED A TRUCK GETS THERE FIRST!!!

THEM FORDS AIN'T BAD,BUT 2ND,3RD,4TH & 5TH PLACE DON'T MAKE YOU MUCH MONEY!!!

A DODGE GETS THERE 1ST 9 OUTA 10 TIMES!!!

AND WILL HAUL YOUR RIG IN 3 TIMES FASTER THAN ANYTHING ELSE WOULD OR COULD!!!

THERE AIN'T NOTHING I LIKE MUCH BETTER THAN A BUNCH OF FORDS GETTING THERE TOO LATE,THEM BOYS HAVE GOT TUDES!!!

GLAD I COULD HELP!!!

NICE POST,THANKS FOR SHARING!!!

As U might-a figured by now Bessy, I'm messin wit my favorite cat t'night,

So how often do you pull over when you see a truck needin a tow to gather the 1st tow truck to arrive statistics you got ?

Or is that jus you in the belcher waiting for a tow ?

 

[bobcatbess]

WELL Beefy!!!

IT'S NOT THAT I WANNA PULL OVER!!!

IT'S THESE RUBBER-NECKING TARDS THAT HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO .25 MPH TO GAWK!!!

THIS USUALLY GIVES ME TIME TO SEE WHO HAS/OR IS SHOWING UP IN THE DODGE!!!

My hunting/fishing partner owns a Tow Buisness. Send me a PM if you would like to talk to him.
