Well....it's 17:25 Jan 1, and there's still lots of action out here on the bay....There's a hired crew that came in this morning and they're still on the ice....the backhoe broke through the ice and has been trying to get the truck out but it's just not strong enough....one of the locals has now been hired to float his Hy-Hoe down to try and do the job.....wow...what a gong show...here's some pics...stay tuned!!...one more thing....they're estimating that this rescue/retrieval will be ~ $20,000
Here are the trucks that have been sitting and idling since 08:00 this morning

Here's a shot of the diver that was hired to go under the truck to attach the cables$$$$$$$$$$$$

dont want to even see the bill thAT GUY WILL GET...OUTCH... .

The lads brother-in-law is the insurance broker and was out checking the situation this morning.....RJ is correct..it's all taken care of by the insurance including replacing the truck due to it being less than a year old...

Insurance is for protecting you from yourself.....we are all stupid at times.....

What's more stupid?

Driving on ice and going thru or Driving too fast in a snowstorm and wrapping your vehicle around a tree?

Both Stupid and Preventable....but you pay those ridiculous rates to protect your own stupidity..

RJ

P.S. I find it very hard to believe it would cost 20 grand to pull it out...there is no sense trying to save the truck now....just yank the heep out with the winch on that tow truck....they will need to make a path though...

I did ask twice my insurance.and they did say yes twice if they pay if i go true ice wit my suv...

so for my insurance no question they will pay.


mabe its not all insurance.company that will pay.so just dont go wit your bad truck on ice and get true.you might be in big troble,,hahaha.


dont no about this case.its only 1/2 way in... .

mabe for the owner it would have been better to go fully true...because they will fix it...so there full off water in the electroninc and all the rest it will be some kind off troble to come..i think... .

the bill will be high this is for sher....

the bill to get the truck and the bill to fix the truck will more then what the truck worth..

It only took my buddy an hour before the truck and backhoe were "dragged" outa the water by his excavator....NICE JOB Terry!...I guess that all-inclusive trip down south is paid for and then some!!!

RJ...from what I've been told is that there were 4 pieces of equipment brought in for this job on New Year's day which is PREMIUM rates...each one of these were costing $300/hr for ~ 13hrs. (already that's 300 x 4 x 13hrs = $15,600)...not including the 3 hrs they spent on-site yesterday...this doesn't include the diver, or what my buddy will charge for floating his CAT excavator to the site and back and fees for doing the job pulling both vehicles out of the river..here's the final PIC

plus repare the water troblethat truck will have .outch.

should have take a little walk to is spot...


expensive little ice fishing outhing.

I forgot it was a holiday...

For $300 an hour each...I'd be sayin'..."you fellas wanna hurry up here?"..

No kiddin

Yeah that whole thing about the insurance company paying is true...We payed out a few years ago close to $30,000 for some guy who broke thru in Clayton...and last year we had one around $25,000...And this is why your rates keep going up
