My car went off Transmountain Road and is sitting below the roadway. What should I tell the operator?
Tell the operator how far below the road the vehicle sits, because vertical drop uses winch line faster than flat distance. Give a pin drop or GPS coordinates if you can.

The operator quotes the recovery before starting work.
