    Red Cascadia short nose with hood intake. If that truck was booking to get away then that Detroit DD13 is dialed up. Either way that douchebag of a driver (if we even can call him that) is looking at hit and run charges(possibly felony).

    that sucks for sure but most drivers aren't gonna shed a tear for these rip off over priced big rig wreckers who rape owner operators with a $900 bill for a 40 mile tow

    The article said the insurance is handling it but I’m sure there’s going to be more to it.

    What should they charge $200?

    Do you have any clue how much those tow trucks cost?

    He obviously doesn't. He expects you to make $500-750k investment & get no return on it.
