Friday night behind the Star Inn, a few raindrops turned into a full flood in twenty minutes. My truck slid sideways into a ditch with water coming up inside the cab -- I'm sitting in there watching my pedals go for a swim, slowly accepting I might own a boat now. Called Caleb and fifteen minutes later he's there in the monsoon, smiling like he pulled up to a barbecue.
He warned me straight up that pulling it from that angle would bend the trailer tongue -- honest guy, felt bad about it -- but the water was rising so I told him forget the trailer, save my truck. He did exactly that. Then offered to come back the next morning to jack the trailer up and get it back on the hitch for me, no charge. After midnight, in a hurricane, fixing a problem I caused by not listening to him.
This is a dude who hauls actual supercars for a living and he treated my flooded swamp truck like it rolled off a showroom floor. Cool as the other side of the pillow the entire time -- you'd swear it was a sunny day by talking to him. Save his number before the ditch comes for you too. 228-234-1655. read more
