I've heard that they get paid by check & taxes come out of that & some won't do it anymore at least there. Is this true ?

I also noticed that a couple of trucks with wooden bumpers & 2 wreckers with the same could of helped push off cars but never did. I do believe these were track vehicles.
Just from my experience:
1. Not all trucks are automatics and some people aren't comfortable/able to push with a stick shift.
2. Not all trucks are 4wd. 2wd trucks have a hard time pushing sprinters (especially if they are in any kind of moisture).
3. Not all trucks are in tip top mechanical working condition and may be OK enough to drive around, but pushing under load could be a problem. After all, race tracks are where vehicles come to die lol.
