    I drove a tow truck in Truckee during the 70's. we were on CHP rotation call 24-7. i got a call to get a stalled car out of the way on top of Donner pass with people inside. and CHP had closed the road at the inspection station at the bottom of the mountain. i was pushing snow over the hood of my truck. and it was still snowing. the car was completely buried, only the antenna was visible. the people were excited to see me, thought they would have to spend the night there. got them back to town, they invited me to supper, we ate, they paid their tow bill, and i went home. normal day in Truckee.

    He isn't doing it because he is a nice guy. He probably is a nice guy but the tow truck business makes most of its income in these conditions and late at night. Not like a routine sunny afternoon AAA road side assistance call. Check out the unique capabilities of his tow truck specifically tailored to these road conditions. It needs to stay fixed in place while pulling out the stuck truck. Given the weight of the stuck truck and the surrounding snow it takes a powerful force to do that.

    Truckers have an advantage with their exhaust stacks. I used to be a volunteer (search and rescue) in the rockies. There were a few times people couldn't continue and left their vehicle running to stay warm. The snow built up, and the exhaust would slowly encapsulate the vehicle. They became recoveries instead of rescues.

After about ten days the crew got a little "punchy"....had to handle them with kid gloves....then after about 15 days they all started thinking this was hilarious and making jokes about it....that got me real worried.
