Here is a little story. I will try to be short. My parents had a MCI bus conversion a while back and they had tranny trouble half way between Anchorage and Fairbanks AK. It was 350mi or more to Anchorage to the closest Diesel repair shop. Called their new towing insurance "Allstate Motor Club" for tow, when tow truck arrived from Anchorage he took one look and said I will be back tomorrow as the bus was to large for him to tow. Next afternoon truck and lowboy with a extra helper showed up to haul them back to town. I believe it was a least 2 full days for this tow. Cost of tow was $0.00 as they will tow to closest repair shop. To top it off the had only had this insurance for a few weeks.
By the time they made it to Anchorage the new tranny was on site from Spokane, cost $6,000.00
Larry in Olympia
PS I have Allstate Motor Club towing!
