    It is another auto. My personal preference as I do a lot of different driving and do not like being wore down as I do everything.

    Also honestly was not trying to put what happened in this thread as like the other guy said I created another one on that before hand. This was just wanting to warn people on the issue. But I see why you asked.

    One time I had a driver have a medical emergency while driving and the truck was abandoned alongside the highway as the ambulance picked him up. In fact when this happened it’s somewhere here on TTR.

    Long story short I had to hire a tow company to deliver the load and park it at the truck stop. Well, they ended up damaging the bunk extender aero fairing while making the delivery. Of course, they denied it and would not give me insurance information. Got screwed but your case is so much more severe.

    I definitely completely agree, vet them just as if they were a carrier before using. When you are in need of help and vulnerable, these companies take full advantage it seems like.

    Pretty sad to say the least. Found out my insurance company will not even look at my truck till Tuesday so it will be at least 2-3 weeks before I get my truck back. Fml
