Was at work this morning when a lady who lives down the road pulled in and dropped of a guy. He came up and asked if there was anyway I could help him get out of a sticky situation. It seems he is an asplundh worker and him and his crew got their truck stuck out in a field when they broke through the snow and ice. I nodded to the Terra Gator sitting on the lot and told him it would probably do it. I didnt know if he had a large bucket truck or one of the single axle trucks...so I grabbed a half inch chain and we rode up to the truck. Sure enough he was stuck down to the axle. So without slipping a tire I pulled him out. Talked to him about the large white oak he was about to cut out of the powerline right of way. I didnt realize asplundh actually had climbers on their crew. Anyway they were stacking the brush and keeping the logs in the fence line so I told them I'd probably come block it up for firewood this weekend.
So the question is how much should I stick it to asplundh? A tow truck with the ability to pull him out 500 yards off the road would cost a pretty penny.
Just messing with you all I wouldnt charge someone for something like that. Now if it had been a bunch of teenagers in a big 4x4 messing around it might be different story
