Service truck stuck in muddy field. Who pays for the tow?
We have a standard portable toilet and a deluxe unit with a flushing bowl and sink for our seasonal crew of 12, placed in a field about 200 feet from the gravel road. The rental company's vacuum truck services them weekly. After three days of rain, the field turned to mud. Yesterday, the driver tried to reach the units and got the truck stuck up to the axles. I had to call a tow truck to pull it out. The rental company says I'm responsible for the tow bill because the access wasn't firm. I thought they checked the ground before driving on it. Who pays for the tow in this situation? Does the contract usually cover this?
