    I move RVs. Today I had to unhook and leave a customer at a gas station.

    I move RVs for people that don't have the ability to move them for one reason or another.
  • 03
    I'm the cheapest, because I don't advertise, I don't do it often, and I only pull smaller RVs.

    This one had a lot of red flags from the start. I showed up at 11:15 and the security personnel from their RV park was on scene waiting for the sheriff to show up, I was informed they had been. evicted and if they didn't leave with me now, the tow company would be coming.

    They were $8 short of my charge but I felt bad and agreed to go anyway.

    The RV was an ultralight model, but the jack was mangled up. I managed to get it hooked onto my truck but it kept going lower and lower and lower, come to find out it was filled floor to ceiling with junk.

    Definitely way overloaded. Whatever, it's a short trip, I'll drive slow. The couple didn't have a vehicle, they had to ride with me, neither of them had phones (despite the fact they arranged everything with me over the phone that morning).

    So they borrowed my phone, I said they could only use it on speaker. They called their bank and disputed every charge they had made with their card, even cashapp transactions, right in front of me.

    When we arrived at the other RV park, the owner knew they were coming. Apparently he had just evicted them a short time ago and they had been calling him all morning begging to come back, he told me to turn right around and leave or the police would be called.

    They started a screaming match from the passenger seat, with me sitting in the middle of it, I didn't want any more parts in this adventure.
  • 11
    I rolled up the window to cut everyone off, started the truck and drove to the nearest gas station.

    They tried to call more RV parks but none of them would take them when they said their names.

    I finally told them to get out, and unhooked them right there. I felt bad but I had no other options.

    The whole time I was unhooking they were talking about suing me and both RV parks and the sheriff's department.
  • 16
    Said it was illegal to just unhook them and leave. Update: Apparently the gas station did call the sheriff.
  • 17
    I haven't yet heard what happened to the people and their camper though.

    misdeliveredham I feel bad for you and for the gas station. Not for anyone else in that story. Also, typical hoarder behavior, blaming anyone but themselves
  • 19
    OP dark_wolf1994 I'm honestly hoping the gas station doesn't try to go after me for it somehow. I've moved a ton of trailers and never had someone straight up lie about having a place for it.

    mentalstealth Were they disputing the charge they made for your services too? Or did they pay cash? I'm so curious about human behavior and this is BRAZEN if they paid you with a card

    OP dark_wolf1994 That's the wild part, she did indeed try to pay with that card as soon as I pulled up. I have no means of accepting a card though.

    RichUSF Next time, quote up front, and at least 75% pay up front. No $, no tow

    OP dark_wolf1994 I always get it asap. Usually people call me, they pay when I arrive and before I hook up. It took her and her bf pooling together to get the money, short $8. I just felt bad and agreed to let it go.

    CrazyGooseLady Part 2: call and confirm with the drop off location that they are expecting you. If they are not, there is now tow.
  • 26
    OP dark_wolf1994 Rest assured that I did add that rule after this Imao.

    Constant-Sandwich-88 You should swing by and look. Give us an update.

    OP dark_wolf1994 I drove by there last night and they were already gone. Dunno if it got removed or if they found somewhere to go with it... And someone else to haul it.
  • 29
    No_Arugula4195 I'm kind of surprised the gas station people didn't come running out and yell at you.
