Let's talk wreckers...

[bobs409]

Since I'm buying one, I guess I better get some answers.

Does anyone know what the laws are about actually using one of these for personal use? I see alot of big trucks that have "not for hire" on the side. Is that something I would have to put on by law?

What would happen if I did tow a few cars for strangers in need from time to time (and for cash) and it somehow got out. Are there wrecker police out there that are going to bust me? I'm in Pa. if that helps, I imagine every state might differ.

Lastly, the wrecker I'm getting has a boom with "Wreck Master" on it. Anyone ever hear of that brand before? I can't even find another picture on the net with this brand. I did a search and found a website with that name but it doesn't look like a company that actually converts trucks into wreckers but more a certification company. (would have been done locally here in PA)

I would love to see any good links for wreckers if anyone knows of some, please post.


Thanks,

Bob
