We used to use a HD Wrecker service in CA all the time, for Repos and such. I even sold them a couple of trucks. Those dudes make some money. Those wrecker bodies cost bank though.. Like $80k when I was in the business. Then another $80k for the cab and chassis.Originally posted by Rick Modena View PostComment

I saw in the video where it appeared the tire might have a split down the middle. You can kinda see what I'm talking about here.Originally posted by GeorgeG. View Post
Also, this tire appears to have blown but I wouldn't expect that to cause it to lose control.

That company I used to use had a bunch of contracts for sections of freeways around the inland empire (southern CA around San Bernardino) as well, and all of those tows were cash pickup only. One day I was in the owners office and a driver came in to get some cash for something, the owner opened his safe and had stacks and stacks of bundled cash.. Crazy. I sold him a $60k truck one day and he wrote me a check on the spot like it was nothing. He had like 25 regular tow trucks / flatbeds / wreckers and 10 Heavy Duty Wreckers.Originally posted by Baron View PostComment

Generally they cost more for roll overs. But 3k is on the decent side.Originally posted by Rick Modena View PostComment

I bet that rear tire blew when they hit the center divider thing, that's probably what tipped it over too. Still wonder what caused him to lose it. One of the "survivors" on the news last night said they her a loud pop, maybe something in the steering busted. I know the freeway has several big dips right there.Originally posted by 46Tbird View PostAlso, this tire appears to have blown but I wouldn't expect that to cause it to lose control.
Anyone else see news coverage last night? They seemed to be hell bent on bashing the driver and the bus company. He'd been a driver for like 30 years but they made sure to mention an accident he had in 2001 where he struck and killed a good samaritan trying to help at an accident scene.
They also seemed very disappointed that the bus company didn't have any significant violations in the last two years, and mentioned that "they would keep digging".Comment

"Driver in bus wreck also drove in '98 fatal crash"
Oh no. He shouldn't have been driving. The news needs to chill the fuck out, what is important here is that they should be in our prayers - loosing a bus could destroy their business. The news doesn't seem concerned at ALL with the bus, I haven't seen a single report where they have given any concern to the extent of damages to the bus.Comment
