    I love the PB start cars not many in my area will go near them. I have been a tow driver and a repo man and can winch almost anything onto my wedge. Go jacks in the box and a snatch block will do magic. Have you tried the synthetic winch line yet? No more messing with cable issues ever I have over 200 cars pulled on with it and countless cargo trailers. I have broke it once side pulling when i lost the block but it can be spliced or cut and new hook added.

    I tried it and didn't like it. We have lodar remotes on hydraulic winches installed on our trucks with rollers on the cross bars. Look at the app shift lock. I was in repo for 30 years. Lol

    I did 12 and then towed for a few years the forwarding company's killed the whole industry.
    I tried 2 different lines before I got the one I have now. I have it on a warn electric winch. I just bought a older warn hydro winch that I am converting to duel electric motors. I am going to have to modify the mount when it is done.

    When they are too cheap, I step away. When they are at least average price I step up to the plate. I only go for the cheap ones if I got a cancellation and the cheap one is better in terms of timing and diesel spent.

    Their locals sometimes do pay well.
    Our guys can put almost anything in neutral. We had one that just wanted to get there and have the customer bring him a cup of tea and the keys and didn't understand this is a hard job. I got one though that can literally carry anything I tell him to with the exception of broken drive shafts and lack of wheels. What does it matter that you got it onto the trailer if you can't get it down without damaging your equipment?!

    Tangent: I've been thinking of coming up with something to help these wheels remain straight but I am not so good at the mechanical part of things. Been wondering since day 1. Now it's just a random dream that I'll end up seeing someone present on Shark Tank lol

    Not a fan of them. First they want 90 days expereince verified on C Dispatch then tells me they can waive it if I can verify previous experince which I did. They never got back to me. Called left messages and so on eventually I just gave up. I have two companies I do weekly loads for and getting signed up for United Road was the best thing I ever did. Just my thoughts

    Wow Ryan, we did not have that problem at all! Carsarrive was actually one of the easier companies to sign up for. We love their app. Their only problems are being cheap and letting Auto Nation do anything they want
