[QUOTE="okiebryan, post: 2031881, member: 24457"] Police call rates are regulated by the state. They charge what they are allowed to charge. How is that rape? It's a real sore spot with me that we have to send an $80K truck that burns $4/gal fuel with a trained driver and all the right equipment, not to mention $$$$$$ insurance, then people expect us to lay in the snow and winch them out for $40. Telling someone if something breaks, it's their problem in no way relieves you from liability if you break something. Go ahead, ask me how I know this. The bottom line is that if you are not licensed by Oklahoma DPS, then you are violating the law by offering recovery services to another person. That law is in place to protect the public from not only people damaging others' property and not carrying the insurance to cover the claim, but from secondary accidents caused by working in the roadway without emergency lighting in inclement conditions. Justify it all you want, but if you do this you are taking food off someone else's table and violating state statutes at the same time. Carry the right insurance (costs $1000/mo/truck) and get DPS licensed if you want to be a wrecker operator. Oh, and buy a wrecker. [/QUOTE]
