Why were you towed speedy? And why did you leave the keys in your rig?

My keys were NOT in my truck. The towing pieces of shit had their own keys.

Sounds like theft. Could you have pressed charges?

2-3 years ago I had my SEMI towed. I had some clown actually jump behind the wheel of my fully loaded semi, and basically steal it. I was parked in the lot of a fast food joint, a lot I had parked in for 20 years. I was parked with 5 other semis. When I walked out of the fast food joint and discovered my semi was no longer there, to say I freaked out would be an understatement. After making a few phone calls, and discovering my semi had been towed, I had to take a cab to the towing yard. They never hooked my truck. The guy just jumped behind the wheel and drove it away, trailer, freight, cab.

Lets just say, I wish they put my conversation with the lovely towing people on camera. I wish my video would have ended up on Youtube.

The chick from ESPN got towed. She went off on someone who worked for a towing company. I am going to guess if all the towing companies across the nation wanted to, they could post 100,000 videos of irate people. Right? Lets face it, they only reason this video went viral, is because this lady is some sort of a celebrity.

Personally? I truly don't give a fuck that Ms. Towing company lady was insulted.
There are 100's of towing companies that are nothing but the scum of the Earth.
And did I read correctly? Or am I out of my mind? The parking lot attendant WORKED for the towing company? The parking lot attendant at the restaurant she parked her car at, worked for the towing company? Is that true? No way can that be true. But I just read that.

well of course it only made headlines because she is semi-famous. but that's the point. I enjoy seeing famous people who try to throw their famous weight around get bitched. I don't enjoy seeing famous people bothered for no reason. but this bitch needed to be humbled. I don't care about "heat of the moment" excuses, someone who says that stuff that she said, that doesn't come from a normally good person who had a stressful moment....that is a rotten human being who deserves to be shamed.

Oh yeah, my owner was on the phone with the police within seconds. Then we basically find out the towing company, the village, and the police of that village were basically running a scam, and preying on semi drivers in the area. It is an industrial area, with plenty of truck traffic. I guess over the last year or 2 this had happened dozens of times. Last year I heard they changed the law, as far as these towing thieves just being able to jump in the semi and drive away. But at the time it occurred, believe it or not, it was LEGAL.

Jesus - even "in an intense moment", I can't imagine having those thoughts, let alone releasing them on someone.

Fuck her and her attitude - from a person who did one semester of college and did just fine. A degree doesn't make a person but some won't get it.

Dirtie Frank, based on your comments, will check out your link next. Definitely not a fan of anyone getting a free pass due to gender, etc.

Hedo you made a whole semester? Good for you.Thats twice as long as I made it.I didn't want to go to Syracuse( where I was going to go) and leave my then girlfriend(Mrs rr) so 30 years later,still together I think I made a great desciscion.Whatya think?
I agree the paper at the end dosent make the person.Integrity,honesty,sincerity,common sense and hard work do.Success is tied to those qualities.

Yes!

And yeah, I tried a blend of philosophy, forensic psychology and creative writing.

Strange but interesting mix! And so happy I chose to not pursue any of those academic paths but the one I'm on.

Again, lets see how this all plays out.

Fuck tow truck companies. The entire job consists with you fucking up other people's lives on a daily basis, solely for profit.

I really cant wait to see how this turns out for Advanced Towing. It didn't take me long to get some reviews on these people. 40 complaints to the BBB in the last year or so, 37 of those complaints went unanswered by Advanced Towing. I am thinking when this is all said and done, Advanced Towing will be wishing they had kept their mouths shut, and not gone public with that video.

And maybe as a deterrent for assholes who park where they shouldn't?

dignin

Or to pull you out of a ditch when you are stranded and in need of help........what a bunch of jerks the tow truck companies are.

hedonist

I can't say all tow companies are assholes; some are legit - my company has used them for random people parking in our lot, and I've used them (AAA) many a time when my car broke down. Always professional.

Definitely some who are slimy, but that characteristic is to be found in any field - in any group of people.

As to the chick in the OP, whether or not her tow was on the up and up or not, she still acted like a spoiled numbnut.

josevolution

I needed a tow a few months back I called they were there with in an hr and I've also had my car towed for parking in a wrong spot I was pissed but I did park in the wrong spot ...

PJ_Soul

Her Twitter message is pathetic. Nice try lady, but you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube (or the pus back in the zit, in her case). Decent people don't even have those thoughts in their heads at all, let alone have them come out of their mouths.

I can see being unhappy with any company if they screw up but to make those kinds of condescending remarks shows no class whatsoever. As for her "college education", so what? I'm not impressed.

As for tow truck outfits in general, I guess I've been lucky. I've had good experiences all around. It's puzzling to see all the hate for those people here. One time, we had a tire blow out on our little trailer on I-80. My back was out and we needed to call for help. The guy that came out to help practically put his life on the line helping us out of a bad spot on a super busy section of highway. That guy did a great job. Hell of a good man.

Most of my tow truck experience comes by way of being on wreck scenes with the fire department. Most of them are just doing their jobs. I have found the worst ones are the guys that are just starting up and will do anything for a buck.

Google illegal towing in Chicago. Go read about some of the undercover investigating of some of these predators.

Sorry to hear about that. The places I've had tow service with no problems include California, Western Utah, Western NY State (outside Niagara Falls), Washington State and Oregon. Never a problem.

I very much liked what I saw of Chicago the two times I've been there but that town sure has it's problems.
