They have had their share of agrivated customers, although it comes with the line of work. Do you or someone you know have a towing company or just work for one? What was your best/worst experience?

I work in collections so I deal with wrecker and repo companies all the time. Best experience is when everything goes off without a hitch. Worst is when there are numerous problems such as when a repo man broke the drive shaft of a repo (he paid for the repair).\n\nYour husband and father may want to look into doing repo work on the side. Depending on the state, they will need to be licensed, bonded, and insured before most banks will use them. However, they already have the equipment (tow truck) and a lot of the know how. My repo companies charge $250 plus for a repo which is a lot more than I pay for a regular tow if I pick it up myself.

It is not a desirable option, but bankruptcy may be the only way to keep a vehicle needed for work in the situation you have described.  Contact a bankruptcy attorney soon for a consult.  Once the vehicle is repossessed, the fees will be even higher and will be due immediately along with towing/repo fees and and penalties then the vehicle often gets sold at auction pretty quickly.  Don't let it go this far without taking action yourself.  It is solvable with quick action on your part.

I was actually in this situation.\nI went in and told costumer service, and they called for the owner of the vehicle to come to the front desk.  After several pages, they never showed up, so they called the police.\nI'm not sure what happened after that.

my ex was a trucker for 8 years and he still is... You want a company who treats you like a person and not a truck number.. Trust me on this one....get one that pays by the mile not the load... Also, martin transportaion has a place in canada and the united states. They are a decent company.....Don't ask for paid this or that as they set there pay according to experience and all trucking companies are different. Some pay for empty miles and some dont. You want one that does. Some also pay extra for shorter runs....Those are some quesitons you can ask them when you call them....a good start pay is 33-38 cents per mile....Just the biggest piece of advice i can offer is make sure your treated like a person or else you wont like it and wont stay with them,. Some large companies get so big they only know you for your tractor number.... Good luck to you

I don't know where they are based out of. Interesting that you saw that many vehicles in one day though. Curious.

I'm an Employment Consultant in Raleigh, NC. I send people to UPS for package handleing positions. The position, at least here, requires a lot of physical stamana. Continous, non-stop lifting of upto 75 lbs. You begin work at a set time and finish whenever the trucks stop comming. It could be 5 hrs, it could be 12 hrs...and you don't get so much as a bathroom break while you are there. The environment is freezing cold in the winter and hot as all blazes in the summer. Holiday times obviously have alot more work than normal (especially Christmas). On the plus side, the pay is usually very good for that type of work and it is usually the only way to get yopur foot in the door with this company which is generally a very good one.

I have used them to get customers financed at work in the past  (Auto dealership).  They do not have the best interest rates out there.  But if you have had a bankruptcy or shaky credit, they may give you the best financing options.  If you have good credit, there are better options.  They do not work well with auto dealers though in many cases (which is not your problem), so often a dealer will find another lender with just as good terms to do the loan thru.

Credible towing companies do a vehicle inventory before towing the car. When you picked up the car, it should have been on or included with the invoice. If the condition of the car doesnt match the inventory sheet, you stand a good chance of being able to take them to court. You would have had to sign off on the invoice agreeing with their inventory sheet. If you didnt inspect the car before signing off on the invoice, then you probably wont have any legal recourse.

I purchased a used 1993 K1500 Chevy pickup from you in May of 2003. There was a 4 inch suspension lift kit on the truck at the time of purchase. Unfortunately the tie rod broke and I am having a very difficult time understanding why your company is asking for $900.00 for a new one.\n\nI have been informed by your employeest hat this is a common problem. I am sure you will appreciaite that this situation is unacceptable and is causing me a great deal of personal and financial inconvience. \n\nI would ask that you find away to reticfy this problem as quickly as possibale. I have alays had faith in your company but this episode has colored my view.

Yes, I think they all do.  In college I used to drive a truck for NorthAmerican Van Lines.  And we'd always have more than one persons property on our truck at a time.  Typically 2 or 3 houses on a truck.\nThey'd be happy to charge you some money to ship it for you.  They'll just want to know the size and weight.

They are one of the largest trucking companies in the US.  Depending on the job, I would say that they should be a pretty good company to work for.

I grew up only minutes away from Amways Corporate Headquarters... but surprisingly, haven't been harrassed by to many "Amway People"... It seems as if their business motto is "fake it til you Make It" and "NEVER take No for an Answer"  they are really into the "SALES" thing.  The sad part about that is that there are many who truly believe what has been promised by their "Upline" and for some this is an attainable goal... However, most seem to be very pushy for a few months and then see that they are losing friends.  People are no longer ansewering their calls, and no one is accepting their dinner invitations any longer.\n\nI think Amway is one of the companies that gives MLM a bad name.  They have a set quota that they have to reach each month and in order to advance need to be that pushy.  But, to be fair, one can say that about a lot of the "sales people" out there.  (try walking into a furniture store, car lot, or even electronics store)  \n\nTry explaining to them that you have heard bad things from too many people.  Or even tell them to get back with you when they can show you checks to back up their statements (that's what worked for me... still waiting for someone to "show me") I did have one person, show me what did work for them... wasn't Amway tho.\n\nPersonally, I wish more Amway people would contact me about Amway (as I said, I have found a program that ACTUALLY works, without the high volume requirements, doesn't require all the high pressure sales or inventories.)  So my new response is to "SHOW them" my program and then help them to actually reach the goals they have been unable to reach with Amway.\n\nThey are only trying to help... maybe you could "Help them" to find something less Pushy!!!

Where do you live? As far as I know bird doging is perfectly fine.  I used to work at a car dealership in HS as a porter.  If a friend or family bought a car from my referral I got $50.00, same when I bought my new car a few years ago.  The salesman told me right out.  So maybe in Illinois it's ok.

Yes!\n\nI live in CA and I know of Events and Promotions.  \n\nMy wife took an assignment with them last month and made a couple hundred dollars in one weekend working 5-6 hours each day.  They were great to work with and really responsive.  There was an initial problem with shortage of pay and the took care of it right away.  \n\nShe was an Olay consultant in Safeway for them.  Since then she's seen other offers for phone services, models for race cars and playing with kids to promote exercise.  They even do twin stuff (I'm a twin so it's of interest to me)\n\nGood luck!

You sound as though you are freelancing this trucking gig.  Get caught and it will be costly.  Are you insured?  Do you have a USDOT number?  If you knew your business, you wouldn't be on here asking a question like that.

I worked at wendys this time last year for some extra cash when the kids were in bed and hubby was done with work. We had this really nice lady from ehtiopia working there ( her 3rd job no less ) she asked this guy if he wanted a combo ( was cheaper ) he yelled, DID I SAY I wanted a combo ? He kept yelling and I was over in the drive thru and I heard him and went over there ( the manager was doing something else of course )\n I was like sir is there a problem. He starts raving like I didnt say I wanted a combo and on and on ( the dining room was packed! )\n Finally after about 1 minute or 2, he stopped yelling and said "What do you think about that ? "\n I politely smiled at him and said, " dang mr, if this food wont give yiou a heart attack your ugly attitude will."\nEVeryone in line started laughing, hes screaming he wants my manager and my name, I said my name was juanita( it isnt,,lol )\n The manager came over and said sir we don't want your business and please leave. \n He called and made a big stink but you know what, that ethiopan woman was JUST DOING what she was trained to do. As my pastor says, some people have to act like that cause its the only power they have in their life.\n\n I gave my friend a hug and told her to chin up cause she was really upset.
