AAA. Thanks, Raven.

Drop AAA....with USRider (USR) you will never need another towing
service. They tow anything, if you're a passenger in a buddies car, and
the car breaks down USRider will tow you, since the service coverage is
on you, not your rig. AAA left me, my two horses and my tow dogs
stranded on Hwy 94 in MN for over 6 hours~!! They would not help me
because my truck was hooked to my loaded trailer. In order to haul my
truck, AAA wanted me to drop my trailer, unload my horses on Hwy 94~!!!
...hand walk my 2 horses and 2 dogs, to the next exit, which was 6 miles
down the road. Oh...and the traffic on Hwy 94 was nonstop and
fast! I cried....cried for 6 hours while stranded on the freeway,
with the back of my trailer sticking out onto the lane of traffic,
scared to death that a semi was going to rear end my trailer and kill
us. I finally found a towing company who was willing to take my trailer,
so then I had to drop loaded trailer, AAA towed my truck, and the 2nd
towing company towed my loaded trailer to the next exit. It cost me
$120.00 to haul my trailer 6 miles. I will NEVER...never go back
to AAA. Since I have had USRider, a little bit over 15 months, I have
used it 3 times. While my friend Jan was hauling us to a local trail, the
alternator in her truck died, USR towed Jan's truck and paid $200.00
towards the repair of her truck! One nite on the way to dinner, the
radiator in my hubbies car busted, USR had a tow truck to us within 40
minutes. Lastly one nite after work my car would not start, USR had a
tow truck out to help me within 30 minutes!! But...the best part....the
BEST!! Last June I had to take my horse Wizard to MI State University
Vet hospital (I live in the Twin Cities, MN area) and on the was home (2
day trip) from MSU the overnight boarding stable where I can stall
reservations called me on my cell phone and canceled my reservation. I
had no place to overnight my very ill horse, so in a panic I call USRider
and asked for their help, not only were they very friendly, but they
located an overnight stall for my horse. Now that is wonderful service.
Worth every penny of my membership.
