I had a close call a couple of weeks ago. My truck lost power and I thought I was going to be stranded. Luckily I was handy enough to do an on road repair and limp home. We were in the puckerbrush of Vermont so it would not have been good. It might be worse if it happened on a busy road or interstate. I don't like to be on the roadside with cars passing by at 70 MPH.
It got me thinking though. How would the truck and trailer combination be towed? The driveshaft would have to be removed and I assume it would be on a wheel lift type tow truck. Typically will the towing company drop the trailer off in one spot and the truck at a repair shop or would they both go to the same place? I have a dog along most of the time too. To those of you who have had this happen how was the experience? Did you have Coachnet or Good Sam? If the repairs took a long time did you stay with the trailer at the shop or find someone to move the trailer for you?
Some have had a commercial-sized lowboy show up and load the entire rig on it.
