Commenter: BUDDY'S TOWING SERVICE

BTRO PROPOSED 24 VAC 27-30-15 FEES
 

In my opinion:  The fees are extremely excessive for small tow companies (one and two truck operations, usually family owned and operated).  Most of these small companies provide services in their home communities and most try to offer services at reasonable cost, usually at or just above the motor club service fees.

Everyone in this type of service business knows or will eventually discover that no one can exist very long at the motor club rates and as more extensive regulations and fees are applied, will be forced to raise their rates or end up going under financially.

I suggest that these fees should be reduced to  ($100) 1/5 or 20% of what is proposed and the license fee should include the owner and one truck.  All other trucks should be noro more than $10.00 each per year--and all tow trucks must be WT licensed.
