Here is a photo from an acquaintance's tow service...

Fully loaded, wanted a 100 mile tow because of a flat tire without a spare, on a Sunday Night no less

Insurance paid no less...

Was it USRider?

You'd think it would have been cheaper to have a new tire brought out.

How long you reckon that stock combo trailers is? I don't think mytruck and our Cherokee trailer would fit. Extended cab truck, trailer is 35' on the floor. It would be close..... Hope I never have to find out!!! Got our new U.S. Rider package in the mail Friday. I wish they would put their emergency call phone number on the key ring card.

Or on the window sticker, or on their website even!  I have actually called and emailed several times over the years to complain about this.  Someone locked my truck while my keys and wallet were inside, and I could not find the emergency call number ANYWHERE.  It was on a weekend so I couldn't even call the sales / customer service number and beg for the emergency number.  You know what they gave me for a reason???  You're gonna love this.  "We don't publish the number anywhere but the wallet card because we don't want people who aren't members calling us."

Well, duh.    If they call you and can't give you their member number OR a valid member name plus other identifying information, just hang up on them.

A while back, we had this conversation on the forum. One of our members suggested taping the number of US rider on the trailer in an inconspicuous place. I put ours under the gooseneck, in large, easy to read letters (in case my glasses are also locked in the truck!:)

I know I did!  I taped it under the gooseneck (with the member ID#) and I also put the 800 number on my windshield (up in the tinted area where it isn't too conspicuous).  And the # on my cell.... but I'm always locking it up in the truck anyway....   Next, I'll be getting it tattoed...

Um, just to clarify.  When you say "fully loaded", do you mean the horses were on there too !?  It didn't look like it, but what would have been done with that many horses.... just curious.
