Nice to see a business survive and keep their standards! the right person behind the controls of old iron can most times do as much as one multi million dollar rotator. skill/ experience did quite well for yrs. not saying rotators aren't better. just watch jammie on the 409 with old iron .

LOL With today's trucks, a rotator makes sense, but I agree with you. If you want to pull a modern rig off the side of the road with an old wrecker, it is going to take two trips, one for the trailer and one to hook the tractor from the rear. Working wrecks, a rotator can get in closer and take up less of the road to do the same job, that said just close it down for the few minutes it takes the old equipment to do the job. Those million dollar trucks have to be paid for by fees and prices have gone up with the cost of the equipment.
