I will begin by giving a big, huge appreciative Thank You to D Lynch Towing for your support and getting me back up and running as well as believing in me to have success in the towing business. Without D Lynch I wouldn't be as far along as I am, and I do appreciate y'all more than you will ever know !
Next, I Thank all the ones that have called me to tow their vehicle and paid without hesitation and without question of the charges. In this group are the ones that I have told them there was no charge as I have been in their position before and know how it is to be stuck, broke down and flat broke as well. If I say it's no charge, it's no charge, meaning that those few are still good not to mean that it will always be no charge.
Here's the last group, and this is directed at the ones that have called me, and many have been an emergency tow where the
Police are waiting, I have promptly arrived and towed your vehicle, and in most cases had to recover your vehicle from off the road, roll over, and so on, spent hours out in adverse weather and taking me away from paying work, and have not made an attempt to pay anything. Just a reminder to those who haven't offered anything to pay for me to come in a moments notice and adverse weather conditions, I do have expenses that I am responsible for. Example, fuel, diesel is not cheap, insurance, commercial insurance cost have gone up and if I don't have it, I can't run the truck, tags, I pay the DMV to have For Hire Tow Truck tags not just putting any Ole tag in the truck and getting by, I actually pay for my s**t, Druver Authorization Document or D A D card issued by the department of criminal justice, I pay for having it, fingerprinted every two years as required and I also have a CDL that I worked hard to get and like to keep it, so I have a medical card that I have to pay a physician to perform a physical exam. Last week, I had to get two new steer tires, just for those two tires cost more than 4 on your car or truck that I've towed and BTW, I have 6 tires on the rollback and when I did get all 6 new tires, it was over $2,000 just to give an idea.
Thats not all the s**t I have to pay for, but here's what I'm getting at; When I don't get paid for towing, it makes it difficult to pay my expenses and just for those that don't know, I don't get paid thousands of dollars everytime I tow something. It's a struggle to keep my head above water and if not for the ones like Danny Lynch, I would be out of business and out of a job. So, when I go out of business because I cannot afford all the expenses it takes just to exist and be legal, I won't be able to come tow your s**t and honestly, no one else will either. I may not be the cheapest, but I'm not the most expensive, and I don't care what others charge, I charge according to what it takes to run the truck and keep it operating, and hope that I can turn a profit. When the truck breaks down and I'm down for a week, I'm actually falling behind a month, it's always gonna be a break down, and also, it's my only means of transportation as well, so it really hits hard when I'm broke down.
Thank you to all that have called and supported me, and paid for me to be in business to be there when you need a tow. Danny Lynch has put himself out there for me and is the only reason I'm still operating to this day. Gene Guffey, Ricky Goins, Todd, Matt, Randy, Debbie, my mother and step father, THANK YOU for keeping me rolling and operating. Without their help along the way, I wouldn't be doing this, and I do appreciate y'all more than you know !!!
Thank you for reading this far, I had to get this off my chest and I will keep plugging along and not give up as long as I possibly can.
Thank you to all the local and out of town tow companies that I pick up from, y'all work with me when I need it, and look forward to continuing to work together and not against each other, it's been a real pleasure to have met and getting to know y'all.
Sabrina is my four legged not dog that is always with me and never let's me put of her sight. She is the best, and loves to ride and tries her best to take over the entire cab not just her side of the truck. Sabrina also is a major reason for me to keep going so that we can be together all day, everyday, and she's the best !!!
