Action | General Regulations For Towing and Recovery Operators |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 3/21/2008 |
In regards to the proposed towing regulations, the towing community seems to thoroughly
confused about government proposals once again. The regulations are confusing and hard to
understand. They are going to be very costly to small towing companies trying to make a living.
Most operator- owners cannot afford to travel and pay to take courses on what they already now
how to do.
How many towing companies will not be able to work accidents and work with law enforcement
efficiently if the proposed regulations go into effect? Law enforcement and the general public will
put at the mercy of those few huge towing companies that can afford to comply and who charge
large fees to do what a smaller company could do if regulations were not so demanding. In theory
will not only the small tower suffer but also the public. We feel regulations do need to be in place,
but not the the point of discouraging the industry. Please keep the small towing companies in mind
when re-developing the regulations.
Thank you
