I bent my trailer frame.

Gentlemen thank you for the nice posts. Yes I could turn in a claim with the insurance company. Yes if i did that they would go after the rental company and I dont think that is right. My insurance company when I have had legitimate claims have paid them and not argued a bit. This was my decision to use my trailer and I told the worker at the rental place it was ok to offload without ramps. I dont think it is right to make someone else pay for my decisions that I made that did not turn out right. The rental place when I rented the backhoe the guy behind the counter gave me wrong information. He told me that I could use the backhoe for 24 hours and only pay for 4 or 8 hours depending on what the hour meter showed I had used. I questioned that but he said that is how they do it. When I got back the next day with the backhoe and turned it in the owner was there and he said nope when you rent it for 4 hours that is from the time you leave with it until it gets back. I told him what the other guy had said and he cut the bill to 4 hours rental on the spot. He did not argue with me or say you will have to have the other guy confirm what you said. He just charged me the amount based on what I told him. I do not have enough buisness dealings with people that are willing to just take you at your word. I sure am not going to penalize someone for my mistakes that still does buiness that way. I think I can get the trailer fixed easily enough for light duty and I talked to the wife today about getting a gooseneck for hauling tractors and stuff. But once again thank you for your kind posts.
