Topic Originally Created by Brian Riker in December of 2006: I am not a Texas expert by any means, but maybe since they are only transporting vehicles on behalf of their own dealership group they are not subject to Texas tow truck rules. I know here in New York and New Jersey they have tow truck rules that do not apply to my 2 and 4 car carriers because I do not do any non-consent towing only transport work (I am in the car haul industry). I use tow truck type equipment since I get a mix of running/driving cars as well as non-running cars, but NY and NJ look at them just like the Feds do, they are only freight unless and until I try to tow one off the side of …

Page McCoy Smith writes on her Facebook Page: 02.17.20 A MAJOR shout-out to some Good Samaritans. I was driving on I-20 when my tire blew. The shoulder was very very narrow and I feared for my life - for about 1 minute. That’s when a tow truck and the couple driving it pulled-in behind me. The cars on the highway were driving at least 80 miles per hour and the fear I had for myself quickly shifted to fear for my new friends. It truly was terrifying and at one point my new friend had to leap on the side of the truck when a car came within an inch of hitting him. After 3 nail-biting minutes, the car was put on the tow truck and, a total of eight minutes late…

When other people are leaving work is when Enrique gets to work, right beside homeward-bound commuters along a Houston freeway, ready to get a stranded vehicle out of the way. Inching along Interstate 45 behind the wheel of a tow truck, Luna spends most of his time looking and listening — making intermittent loops through the congestion looking for stranded vehicles on the shoulder and listening to about a half-dozen police scanners and radios around the truck’s cabin. “You listen for words,” Luna explains. “Then you drown out the other ones to listen to …
