đźš› WHO PAYS FOR THIS CLEAN UP? đźš›

One of the biggest misconceptions about the towing and recovery industry is that the “government” pays towing companies to respond to crashes and clean up accident scenes.

The truth is: THEY DON’T

Most towing and recovery companies are placed on a rotation list and are called when law enforcement needs assistance. Being on that list does not come with a paycheck from the State, county, or local government; just means you have an opportunity to work, when they call you.

If the party or parties involved don’t know who they want to help them, then law enforcement will go to the rotation list to get a company to “clean up the mess” and take cake of the recovery and haul it off the roadway and preform remediation.

When a serious crash occurs, towing and recovery professionals often invest thousands of dollars in labor, equipment, environmental cleanup, traffic control, and specialized recovery resources to clear the roadway and help restore safe travel for the public.

Payment is typically dependent on the vehicle owner, their insurance company, or the company involved. Unfortunately, many vehicles are uninsured, underinsured, or owned by companies that will never pay the bill and abandoned them with the tower.

In many cases, recovery companies are forced take legal matter such as law suits or to wait through the legal abandonment process and then attempt to recover a small portion of their costs by selling the vehicle or remaining debris for scrap. Often, that amount doesn’t come close to covering a fraction of the actual expense of the recovery operation.

The next time you pass a crash scene that has been cleared and traffic is moving again, remember that a towing and recovery company likely invested significant time, manpower, and resources to make that happen—without any guarantee they will ever be paid.

Alabama’s towing and recovery professionals don’t do it because it’s easy. They do it because someone has to answer the call.
