I got charged the full fee in Little Rock when they towed my car from Sam's Club to the dealer right next door for repair. Maybe 1/4 mile if that. If it wasn't for the heavy traffic on the access road, I could have just pushed it over there. Pissed me off........

To the guy who complained about it taking to long on his wrecked dumptruck......
At least the tow truck driver had enough respect to take his time and not screw up your
truck more than it already was. So you should be thinking him. Bet his driving record is
cleaner than any of your drivers.(thats why you ende up with a wrecked truck). To the person complaining
about paying $120 for to be brought to him well your the dummy who ran out of gas! Heck I am surprised
you had the $120 to pay for the srevice.
(also at least he is smart enough to drive a vehicle that is good on gas)
To the lady complaining about paying $70 you knew how much it was before the driver got there (they give you
price over the phone)if you thought it was to much than why didn't you call someone else? But i bet you guys will
not found another company with trucks as clean as Oc's nor will they have the manners of the guys
that work for him.Beside you guys are not just paying for the fuel to run the truck your paying
for the labor of the driver,and the tax they have to pay to run those truck so you don't have to sit broke down
on the side of the road. Good God he has to make a living to people..

There's really no reason not to have it as far as I'm concerned.

You really should check your receipt, the fee is not $200.00 per hour, call them and get a quote if you don't believe it!!!!!

well see your still wrong its 135 hr plus fuel with extra person 65 hr i called to check it out just so i could have my facts right
you know you knew how much an hour it was before the company got there way did you still use them i mean whats the point of complaining. were you there while the guys were hooking up? do you have any other complaints besides the coast you know it a business you know that you have cover the coast of fuel the labor of your drive and a profit for your pocket you of all people should know this you own your own business. so like i said why complain?

I paid over $200 to have a truck winched out of a field up to the road, total distance was maybe 50 feet. I wasn't told the price over the phone before hand, if I had known, I would have waiteed until my neighbor got off work and could have pulled me out. I can afford to sit and wait for half a day for that kind of a charge, seeing that I can't make that much in a day!
Sure they do good work, but you're going to pay an exuberant price! The moral of the story is, don't run out of gas, don't wreck and don't get stuck or else you'll get stuck twice!

well pleased customer if you add 135hr and the fuel surcharge its 186.50 and the extra people are 65 an hour get your facts straight and just so you know it wasnt my drivers fault that a female driver caused him to wreck at least he didnt kill anyone

now thats not very friendly...... and how do you know that i am not hard working how do you know that i don't get out there and work just like you... you don't know me and for your info it men like you who ruin it for women like me and make it hard for us to be treated fair in this world. its men like you who judge women because your scared that i or we just might be able to do your job better than you can.now i did not go to college but i did graduate high school and i passed my math class with an A. i have worked hard to get were i am at today and your crappy little comment just shows how mature you are hope you don't talk to your employee's or customers like this.
i simple broke down your $200 hour and the why it was explained to me 135.00hr with fuel fee....( a 35% fuel charge on total of your bill)

and if its $135hr plus your fuel charge at 35% that comes to $168.75hr
even at 38% it comes to $186.30hr so maybe you should go take a math class so either why that doesn't equal $200 hr nor does it equal $186.50hr

I'VE HEARD OF YOUR COMPANY. IT'S AMAZING YOU HAVEN'T BEEN SHUT DOWN BY DOT. NONE OF YOUR DRIVERS ARE US CITIZENS! NOT ONLY THAT,THEY DID'NT EVEN HAVE THEIR LICENSES WHEN THEY WERE BACK IN MEXICO. NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR DUMP TRUCKS. I WAS TOLD TWO OF YOUR TRUCKS WERE BOUGHT FROM MOSSY HEAD AUTO SALVAGE, AND ARE NOT SAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD TODAY.

oc is a damn ripoff none of his trucks are dot inspected i quit there after 3 months i was scared to drive half those trucks yes they look good but looks dont keep you alive while operating the trucks i just wonder why dot doesnt do roadside inspectios on some of these wreckers running aroud here they always pull over dump trucks and semis but never any wreckers they should crack down on them too i guess its cheaper to payoff dot then to make your equipment safe for your drivers

Crestview paint and body is alright if you like waiting 3 1/2 hrs to be towed from Lowes to Hub city ford and then Hub city fixes the problem in 30 minutes. They (CPB) have nice racey numbers on their trucks but they sure ain't very fast. As for OC there like that Phillips guy who jacks gas prices around and tries to fix them with other merchants. Or so I read in the Daily news

whats up with the oc driver running down the statue at the new chinese restaurant damn nice scratch on that pretty truck maybe if he wasnt such a self centered jackass he could keep good drivers granted there is a couple of guys there that are excellent at what they do but drivers wrecking trucks in the middle of town must really be hurting business and the reason it takes cpb so long is because all the motor clubs are calling us instead of oc and we only have 3 wreckers but im sorry you had to wait good luck mr oc i hope you can rent enough u hauls to keep your business afloat if not send your good drivers to us

TO CPB , I'M A DRIVER, WOULD I QUALIFY FOR EXTRA MONEY IF I CAME TO WORK FOR YOU BECAUSE I HAVE ALL MY TEETH. I'VE NOTICED MAYBE, JUST MAYBE ALL YOUR DRIVER'S TOGETHER HAVE 4 TEETH BETWEEN THEM. SURELY FOR A FULL SET YOU WOULD PAY EXTRA.
