    When I did towing/recovery we had more than a few that the "boss" were totally unreasonable about paying the tow. A lot of it usually depends on who actually made the phone call or what the conversation was like between them and their office. Often when the driver just picked up the phone right off the bat, they denied payment. If the terminal called they would pay it. If I got the run around, I unhooked it and left. Some of those were just the boss got a call out of the blue wanting money for a tow bill and he had never knew anything about it. You gotta communicate with the office. And there are a few that are ******oles too.

    Funny thing is that putting cross lockers on your truck during the build is cheaper than this tow.....

    Even though I just drag a dry van around now I still ordered a locker in my back rear end.

    I like the combined front, rear, both lockers. Been in too many trucks where the lockers didn't work. Flip the switches and the drive tire spins. Maybe the left front also.
