Like anything else, there are nice tow truck drivers and no so nice ones. My husband used to be a nice one, the customers weren’t always so nice though.

Of course there are, **dragongirl**. I’ve never called a tow truck, but if I do I’ll be one of the nice customers. 🆒  
I was referring to the macho, own the road, yellow light flashing whike I get a cheeseburger kinda attitude. Not a bad thing, and probably helpful in that line of work. Is your husband the hairy-chested, swaggering kind of nice guy? 😉

I want to know how you feel about the tow truck industry, either good or bad and why.

If there’s a tow truck double-parked, in my way, jumping a stalled car, I hate 'em  
If there’s a tow truck double-parked, in your way, jumping my stalled car, I love 'em. As long as the driver’s the bald, friendly type.  
Tow-away zones _are_ their fault, you know. :mad:
