    They should NOT have charged you for their error in judgement. You would probly win that argument in small claims, but it would cost more than you'd wish

    How are you at fault if you supplied pictures and weights? They robbed you. That sucks.

    Its amzing what people will do when there is a little money involved. This is why I will never be a big(or smallish) success, I perfer to work alone. Live and learn. I am still impressed with your growth and you have just attended the the University of Hard Knocks, don't stay for the Masters Program. Mike.

    Scrap Value: $1,249
    Towing Cost: $1,100
    He said that this was because they needed to call in the other truck in order to load it. So despite the fact that they towed in 1/3 of the distance that they were supposed to and the fact that I was at fault for him not bringing the correct equipment the cost was higher than I had anticipated worst case scenerio. I was completely up front with pictures and weights of the frame at least a week prior to the pick up so I would think that a trained tow truck driver would make the decision to bring the correct equipment for the job. My bad I guess. So yeah, I know better for the next time this happens but you have to love getting the royal screw sometimes right? I may have more pictures and I'll get them up soon as I can.
    I'm bug eyed at the number right now! a thousand bucks to tow it? why was it your fault? who said that? your step moms brother?

    I hope you make out better on all the other parts you took off of it. I'm sorry this first part ended so badly for you
