    And as far as I’m concerned he’d deserve it.

    The tow truck driver, who threw feces at the owner of the car being towed, deserves to be criminally charged, convicted, and sent to prison for a spell of time, absolutely no excuse whatsoever for the tow truck driver's behavior.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    The absolute sheer driving force of our national economy - without truck drivers, our entire national economy would come to an absolute standstill - if not outright be dead.

    Over the mountains, through the woods, into the valleys, coast to coast, from sea to shining sea - truck drivers can and do go anywhere and everywhere, every day, every night, all year round.

    Got my trailer impounded a couple years back, because I forgot to unhook my airlines before detaching the neck and ripped them out.. was at a jobsite parked out of the way of the road, put out triangles behind trailer as well.

    went into town to get parts, by the time I found something to mangle a airline back together my logbook was done so I parked for the jight and went to retrieve my trailer the next morning only to find it was gone.. local sheriff had it impounded and it cost me $700+ to get it back and had to wait a whole weekend... turned something really dumb into a giant cluster #### because I was careless for a couple seconds and followed that up with a couple bad decsions.... the situation sucks, but it was your choice to park there and you have to deal with the consequences.

    When you drive past signs that say if you park there you’re going to get towed and you still choose to park there and you end up getting towed that’s not predatory towing. It’s an indicator you should make better choices.
