I have a 36' trailer, and a tow vehicle!

But back when I was in high school a friend of mine had the rear axle shaft come out on his 1980 Cutlass Supreme, we called for a tow truck, and they wanted to tow it by the front!

We had convince the guy to pick it up by the back wheels ("convincing" him required us letting him do it his way, and having the axle shaft almost come all the way out after about 100ft) as towing by the front wheels is "how a tow was done".

It was the under the wheels type, and it worked out in the end.

Last time I was in TX I was picking up an engine, but I had no way of getting it on my trailer. I called a tow company and explained very carefully and exactly what I needed.

They sent their smallest truck with a boom, and the motor got lifted in place with no trouble. The tow guy was very helpful, and got everything exactly where I wanted it without even scraching anything.

I was very happy with the service, and I know that if that guy had shown up to a broken PW he would have worked with me to get it home.

As with anything it is in the luck of getting a good worker!

Eric
