Actually neither City Towing and Transport.

So what type of towing do you guys do? Roadside Service, Impounds, Copart, IAA, TRA?

We do City PD, OHP Impounds and Accident Scenes, PPI's, Copart, and have some good accounts, like AT&T, body shops, and a couple mechanics shops.

Thanks for raining on my parade anyway, you little bitch !!! :roflbow::roflbow::roflbow:


So that takes care of that Roughneck. Just so you know, I prolly wouldn't have taken it anyway, but just so you're in the know and don't scrap or throw any away, the ECM's in 91-93, or 92 and 93, with 6.5 diesels and Auto 4L80-E transmissions are standalone ECM's and wiring harness to operate the 4L80-E transmission and they are highly sought after, and usually bring a little cash.

I do happen to have to have a 2wd 4L80-E but IF I USE IT, and don't sell it, my intent was to run it in a street/mostly strip truck with some low 4.56 or 4.88 gears and still be able to drive it on the freeway. Being a street/strip truck, I wouldn't need the automatic functions and planned on running a neck snapping full manual valve body. I did it before back in the day with a daily driver Th350, so I'm sure I can do it again. It's actually pretty fun with a Ratchet shifter.

We won't even think about doing AAA or Cross Country. Do very little Asurion, we turn more down than we do of those and even then at least half turn into GOAs.

Thats the type of company I would work for if I could find one out here thats hiring. 15 years of AAA is enough.
I always loved doing PPTO's and the other commercial stuff...AAA is for the birds, and they keep making their contractors operate at a loss.

I was trying to recall all the tow drivers Jim. Who am I forgetting? You, Me, TowJoe, Towman, and dang it, I know there is at least 2 more. Can't think of their ID's.
