SOUNDS LIKE A GOOD LOCATION TO START A TOWING SERVICE BUSINESS

There is so much money in towing I just wonder why it's a hard sell around here, ecspecially with these kinds of rates. The trucks have swapped ownership 3 times in 4 years. Come on down, The dealerships would love another company in town.

18 miles i would have done with a tow strap assuming the brakes on the car being towed were in good order.. and if not, for that $275 i'll make an A frame and flat tow it
