🚛 WHO PAYS FOR THIS CLEAN UP? 🚛

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.

Unless your vehicle is in your driveway, it’s considered emergency response even when your motor clubs call. Good read!

Unless your vehicle is in your driveway, it’s considered emergency response even when your motor clubs call.

Good read!

“All you did was tow it a few miles. Why does it cost so much?”

It’s a question towing companies hear all the time after police directed emergency towing.

The answer is simple: you’re not paying for the few miles your vehicle traveled. You’re paying for the emergency response system that made it possible for help to arrive when you needed it. Not scheduled, not tomorrow, not when we can fit it in, but right now immediate response.

Like EMS and the fire department, towing companies are expected to respond 24 hours a day, 365 days a year—often within 20 minutes of being called by law enforcement. That means maintaining trained operators, dispatch systems, insurance, storage facilities, and hundreds of thousands (sometimes millions) of dollars in specialized equipment ready to roll at a moment’s notice.

Here’s the difference…

Police departments are funded.

Fire departments are funded.

EMS receives public funding, grants, or municipal support.

Emergency towing companies receive none.

In fact, we may be the only emergency service expected to maintain around-the-clock readiness without taxpayer funding. Even more challenging, approximately 40% of our police-requested services ultimately go unpaid.

Yet when the phone rings at 2:00 AM, during a snowstorm, after a serious crash, or when a roadway needs cleared for public safety, we’re still expected to respond immediately.

And we do.

The invoice isn’t paying for a few miles of towing.

It’s paying for the trucks, equipment, facilities, insurance, training, and people standing by 24/7, ready to respond when nobody else can.

That’s the true cost of emergency towing.
