But I've had some tows myself, people wanted the wreck to go home. Unless an impound is ordered, I'm not required to take it to my yard.

I'm fairly certain a good Constitutional lawyer could make a case that it's unconstitutional and an illegal seizure for the city, county, state to force you to have no say in where your vehicle goes when being towed by a company not of your choosing. I understand placing limits on distance, but forcing someone who was just in an MVC to have no choice in where their car goes can't be legal. If the proposed drop-off destination is within the pre-set limits of the towing company that is responding, they should be required to take it where you want it, with the caveat that you would pay any extra mileage incurred over the amount that would've been to the impound lot or tow yard they would've otherwise gone to.

Nice work Dustin. So is up to the Towing company or the law when it comes to towing to the yard. Unless there is an on going investigation, I've heard once released by the officers you can have your vehicle towed wherever. Just curious

In this case, it’s the department. BCSO says we have to take it to the yard before releasing it. Apparently they got sued for giving a vehicle to the wrong person, so now they won’t let us take it anywhere but the yard. Any other department doesn’t care, and we will haul it anywhere you want as long as you pay the charges at the drop.

I have been into an accident about 2 weeks ago and so my car was kind of undrivable after the accident so we fixed everything on it

That’s the same Fire Department personnel that I had an issue with not long ago. So it’s not too surprising he had something to say.

Thats why rotation sucks! Too many moving parts complicate things. Its good for the tow company but bad for consumers! I drove tow trucks for several years under a zone contract.Much more efficient!
