Recovery & Winch-Outs
North Haverhill, NH
Off the road is not the same job as broken down. Recovery is getting it back to the pavement before anything else happens.
Ditches, shoulders, mud and snowbanks
Soft shoulder in mud season, a dirt road that let go in the rain, a slide into the bank in February — the car is usually undamaged and simply somewhere a tow truck cannot just hook and go. The winch does the work, at an angle that pulls it out the way it went in.
Winched out, or winched out and loaded
Sometimes it comes out, you look it over, and you drive home. Sometimes it comes out and goes straight on the deck. That is a decision made at the scene once the car is somewhere safe to look at, not one you have to make correctly over the phone at eleven at night.
Tell him what he is coming to
How far off the road, which way it is facing, whether it is on its wheels, and whether anyone is still in it. That decides what gets brought and how fast.
