I never said anything about bidders, that was someone else. I maintain that your average driver I have come in contact with is scum and shouldnt be on the road. I routinely see them speeding and driving recklessly throughout Houston. If you run your business different then you are to be commended. I see them lined up 15 deep for a 2 car wreck, blocking traffic while shooting the breeze. I have smelled the alcohol on them when up close to them for whatever reason. I see their cabs packed with friends (usually young girls) so they are unable to provide a lift to someone being towed. I find very few redeeming features but they are a necessary evil, like vultures. I dont have an ax to grind, very rarely used a wrecker in my life, these are just what I observe when in the field. I have used Poteet Wrecker for work issues and they are always friendly and helpful, they are the exception I have seen.

No, I do not know the regs or guidelines they operate under but am quite sure the above transgressions are not permitted.

I have met a few tow drivers and all of them were sleezy. I hate how they think they are allowed to do 80+ on the freeway, even when crowded and 60+ on city streets to get somewhere. I block them every chance I get, they are hardly life and death vehicles. I do believe if you dont pay your bills then your vehicle should get repossessed but not like a sneak thief in the night or while you are working. Why cant they get an offduty officer to go with them and be upfront about it? Cheap companies are the only reason. Who is gonna fight a repo when there is a uniformed officer right there? Banks hire them to sit all day long then so can a repo company.
