That's a fact. It's a job you have to love to be able to do it. I've been running my nuts off due to the recent storms. Lots of laying in ditches to hook up bridles for winch outs etc. And some gravy **** too. Getting winch out calls to pull people out their damn driveway. Bad part is, in residential neighborhoods, there isn't much room to position your truck if you're driving a 22 foot bed with an X cab Medium Duty like I am. And if not done right, all you're doing is pulling the roll back into the vehicle rather than moving the vehicle.
I got to help a rookie doing one with another company 2 days ago. Luckily I was there to save his ass. Told him, NO dude. Don't even do that. If you do, you're going to end with your roll back sliding into the car and then the car going thru the garage door. The driveway had a steep downgrade. The street and the driveway both covered in at least 1 inch thick of smooth as a baby's ass ice. Ended up getting the roll back up against the curb sideways and using a snatch block to turn the winch cable almost 90 degrees and pull the car that way. The car was stuck in the ice since the snow and sleet had fallen around the parked car.
