Tow vehicle at pulls to get you home?

Just wondered how many of you would like it if I showed up at the pulls with a 25ft gooseneck to pull broken trucks home? Thought I might do it just to cover my expenses for going to the pulls. Some of you live far enough away there might be hotel expenses too.

Sounds like a good idea man. I am rather particular on who I spend the night in a hotel with.

No the room isn't for you its for me and my kids if they were with me. You get to sleep in your broke truck.

I wish I had that tow truck today since the truck has finally decided it doesn't really want to move anymore.... To think a simple trip across town became a pain in the !!!!!!!

GS's tran died finally. Slow and painfully.
Fuel mileage pulling a trailer at 60mph about 14mpg at 65mph about 13. With a truck on it about 11-12 at 60mph.

Thats right he told me that. Ooops I thought that was you tree dr. When he said it wouldnt move I assumed the worst for your cp3. Its hard to tell sometimes on the iPhone what your lookin at. I mustve confused his for yours.

Yea, tranny is dead.... So hopefully matt will be able to take some time to pick me up. He's building the tranny as we speak so it is underway.

T21 you could have used a lift to Floor It a couple of months ago. Did you ever get your truck running right? What pull are you going to start pulling your truck?
