    Better hurry up and get it out,I imagine they charge by the day to have it on their lot and it isn't cheap.Not to mention the cost to have it towed.

    Only way the wrecker gets his money......they usually take most forms of payment too.....and they are right, daily clock is running and fast on a big one. Cars are $35 a day in Houston and big ones run $100 ...more if trailer with it.

    Feel good ( if they towed rig too ) to get truck back for less than a grand with tow bill.

    I use to be in the towing business. If we released impounded vehicles on a promise the owner will send us the tow/storage later, we would have been out of business.

    That's the way things are done , same as if get you car impounded for unpaid parking tickets in any major city and it gets towed / impounded and its the same thing you pay towing & storage fee before getting vehicle back

    Maybe us truckers should take a page from their book, before your stuff either gets on my truck or comes off my truck, PAY ME. Don't worry, I'll send the broker his commission, you can trust me, I'm an honest guy. I know truckers would never burn a broker by not paying them.
