A Very Expensive Off Road Joy Ride Leaves Driver With a Huge Bill

The next off road Joy ride you take might cost you a fortune

What ever happened to common sence was my first thought after hearing about a Massachusetts man whose Jeep got stuck in a mud pit while off-roading with his girlfriend says a towing company is charging him $48,000.Joel Ramer says the Jeep landed in a mud pit last week in Walpole . It took 12 hours for police and Assured Collision to pull the vehicle out. Ramer was given a bill for $48,000 when he went to pick it up. Then I thought are you kidding me  all that money for a tow truck. The owner of Assured Collision tells WFXT-TV  that the Jeep's proximity to power lines put his team in dangerous conditions and that the fees reflect the industry standard. The high cost included an on scene supervisor with a pay rate of nearly twelve hundred dollars per hour. I want that job

The Statewide Towing Association tells the station it has not reviewed the invoice, but that the rates quoted appear to be significantly higher than industry standard. My final though was bad choices have bad consequences  Pay Up !

Be careful of your next joy ride . you could get stuck with the bill
