🛑 Let’s Talk Real Numbers and Real Injustice 🛑

Everyone wants to point fingers at contractors and small business owners saying “you’re charging too much.”

But here’s what they DON’T see:

📉 A licensed adjuster just came forward on 60 Minutes and revealed that he assessed $231,368.57 in property damage for a family — but when the insurance company was done “editing” his report, they only paid out $15,469.48. That’s not just a mistake — that’s deliberate undercutting.

⚠️ While we’re out here breaking our backs, investing in equipment, labor, fuel, materials, and insurance — insurance companies are in the background slashing payouts and sabotaging families’ ability to rebuild.

💰 You call our prices high, but we’re quoting real work, real materials, and real results — not the discounted fantasy math insurance companies play with.

📣 If you want it done right, it won’t be cheap. And if it’s cheap, it won’t be done right. Respect the craft. Respect the hustle. Respect the truth.

🧾 Rebuttal to “Predatory Towing” Accusations

When people point fingers at local tow companies for being “predatory,” they often ignore the real financial predators hiding in plain sight: insurance companies.

⸻

🛑 Let’s Talk About What Insurance Companies Don’t Want You to Know:

❌ They Deny Legitimate Claims
• Everyday people pay into policies for years, but when it’s time for help—claims are delayed, denied, or buried in red tape.
• If we did that to a customer, we’d be charged with fraud.

💸 They Pocket Billions While Delaying Payouts
• Insurance companies invest your premiums and delay claim payouts to earn interest on your money.
• That’s not protecting drivers—that’s profiting off their pain.

📉 They Undervalue Repairs & Reimbursements
• Most insurers use outdated software and unfair “market rates” to lowball settlements.
• That forces shops and tow operators to take a loss—or pass on fees to the consumer.

🔒 They Make Tow Companies the Middleman
• Insurers rarely educate policyholders on their towing coverage. Then they let the tow company look like the “bad guy” when storage fees add up.
• We don’t hide info—we post our rates. Can your insurance carrier say the same?

⸻

🚨 Tow Companies Aren’t the Enemy. We’re First Responders.
• We show up in the rain, ice, danger, and trauma to clear roadways and protect drivers.
• We operate expensive trucks, maintain insurance, pay workers, and stay on call 24/7.
• Most of us are small businesses, not corporate giants. We don’t have lobbyists or hedge funds—we just want to be paid fairly for our work.

⸻

🗣️ Final Thought:

Instead of blaming tow operators for doing our job, let’s shine a light on the industry that’s been dodging accountability for decades.

You want real reform? Start with the billion-dollar insurance companies—not the guys cleaning up their mess.

You are responsible for the cost of repairs. Financial arrangements must be completed before the vehicle can be released.
Our people are professionally trained craftsmen who will do a quality job of restoring your vehicle at a fair price.

There’s a dangerous lack of visibility into the towing industry and that lack of understanding has real consequences for public safety, from governments making public policies and laws to cities and states contracting these companies.

There are so many "invisible" costs when running a professional tow business the average person does not see.

✅ Trucks: Like everything else, the costs of trucks has skyrocketed in recent years, from tens of thousands of dollars to over a million dollars.
✅Specialized Equipment: No two jobs are the same, and that is why companies need a fleet of trucks, from light duty wreckers, to rotators, able to handle large recoveries involving semis.
✅ Proper uniforms and high-vis gear: By law, operators must wear certain high vis gear and it isn't cheap. In addition, items like gloves, pants, boots and hats must be provided to ensure they have the protection to complete a job. And in climates with extreme heat and cold, this requires even more specialized uniforms.
✅ Straps, chains, dollies and many other small parts and equipment inspected and replaced constantly due to wear and tear.
✅ Fuel and truck maintenance to ensure they run smoothly. Tow trucks are not just "trucks", they often have hydraulic components and additional parts like PTO (power take off) to support specialized parts
✅ Insurance can be tens of thousands of dollars a year for a single truck and this is for a tow operator with zero claims. This is simply due to the danger of the job combined with the cost of the equipment
✅Training, education and testing: Even the most "simple" hook up requires an operator to be properly trained. Proper training ensures a job is done correctly, protecting the operator, the customer and the environment
✅Proper Clean Up: Oil and fuel spills can be detrimental to local environment. Small debris also needs be removed from roadways.
✅Cameras and truck tracking to provide up to date information to customers and transport officials and law enforcement.
✅ The cost of a secure, well-maintained yard to keep stored vehicles safe and secure and staff and procedures to treat your residents with professionalism when they come to retrieve their vehicles
✅Relationships with local law enforcement and fire departments as these all often work together to ensure public safety. This can include group trainings, meetings and constant flow of communication.

When towing companies are left out of the process and not consulted, the public loses.

For effective policies, from small municipalities to the national stage, we must do the work to understand what a good towing company actually looks like and the true costs of their business and the value of their services.

This is a true investment in public safety.
