The intentions of the BTRO are noble, but I have never seen a more confusing process to understand or navigate. If you want tow companies --large or small -- to comply you need to establish one website that clearly tells us what and when we need to do it! Information put in plain language would be nice. I feel like I have to have a degree in law to interupt what information I stumble across if I'm lucky enough to hit the right link. The tow/wrecker companies that want to comply have to be as frustrated and confused as I am....BTRO was forceful about getting our addresses, but then I only received two flyers referring me to websites that are "not user friendly" to say the least?! Come July, I predict you are going to have a whole lot of state troopers, police, and civilians sitting on the roads waiting HOURS for tow trucks that wont be available to respond --- because half of us wont be in compliance by your JULY deadline. We want to know what to do but the rumor mill has a thousand different versions of what exactly that is? Secured lots? Specific equipmt? Driver Certification? Fingerprinting? Fees? I dont even know if we can AFFORD to comply anyway. July is coming too fast, BTRO might want to fall back and rethink it.
