Service truck got stuck in our muddy field. Who covers the cost of the tow truck?
We rent two standard portable toilets for our seasonal ranch crew of 15. The toilets have been on a gravel pad near our barn for three months with weekly service. After heavy rain, the access road turned to deep mud. I warned the rental company the day before service, but their driver still came out. His vacuum truck got stuck axle-deep in the field. They had to call a tow truck to pull it out. Now the rental company is billing us for the tow. I thought their driver should have assessed the conditions and not attempted it. Who is responsible for this towing cost, us or the rental company? Does the service contract usually cover stuck trucks?
