Just had to brag

Today at work I got to tow out a tow truck. The big flatbed kind. He dropped off a durango that wouldnt start, then was so light when he tried to turn around he got stuck in the snow, so he backed up to get a run at it and wound up backing downhill, doing him no good, then got stuck at the bottom of it. After 10 min of him trying to get out, i offered him a tow. He accepted and we hooked up and i put it in 4 wheel and granny gear, and pulled him out like nothing.

Not that it was any big challange, but i thought it was ironic that a tow truck had to be "towed" out.

did you charge him what he would have charged you if the situation was reversed?

Lol, sorry, if I had my camera i would have snapped a few. I was actually thinking about charging him as I was hooking up. Lol, he would have been sitting there all day if i hadn't went out and helped him.
