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. Raven
