my penske story. i rented from them. the smallest truck that could pull a car trailer. i was moving from texas to CA. the truck was essentially empty, but i needed it for the towing my truck. my new job was covering 90% of the expenses anyways. whatever. my own personal car was tiny and feeble. my mattress wouldnt fit.

i had a friend that had an interview in LA. she was broke, and asked if i could drop her off. sure...free ride for her, someone to talk to while i drive. win!

i get to LA, and she directs me to her mom's house. hmmm...sure looks like Comptom. hmmm.. IT IS COMPTON!! i drop her off at night..8:00 pm ish. leaving her house..BOOM! a tire blows out on the trailer..i look and the remaining tire on that side of the tandom looks really bad too.. i pull over to a gas station, right when the shop owner was pulling this armor shield over his windows and doors. he looks at me, gives me his blessing to park there, scurries away. i call penske. the nicest lady answers looks at my position on a map...and says, "OMG! you're in compton..cage and figeroa. " yup..she tells me she cannot get someone to me till 8:00 am. and hangs up on me.

scariest night of my life. gunfire. hookers and blow. gunfire..slow cars circling me..i stabbed my knife into the dash for a quick grab..and hunkered down. if there was ever a time i needed a gun.. people knocking on my window all night...

they never charged me for putting the knife wound into the new dash..
Sounds like the problem was compton and not penske lol
Ill pay my multiple awesome penske experiences tonite when I'm not working. ..
