The spotters are the real scumbags in the towing business.
I remember in Nashville, the spotters would do things like, put a canvas bag over a No-Parking sign, then when, usually a tourist, would park there, the spotter would remove the canvas bag, take a photo, then call his buddy that drives the tow truck. The spotter get pretty good pay for doing that day and night.OlegMel, mjd4277, Flat Earth Trucker and 1 other person Thank this. -
Some time ago we had Puerto Ricans in Chicago shoot each other because they didn’t agree on who would get the tow and clean up fee. Towing is a #### dirty business. They always do 50+in a 30mph zone just to get to the accident site and claim the tow first

Philadelphia/New Jersey makes me nauseous... You know they want all this freight but they don't have any parking for drivers unless it's paid....and they're rude AF!!.. I once went to Portland, Maine from Kansas City.. that's a real pretty drive as long as you avoid the GW bridge.. I used I-84 to bypass all that BS!! Once I hit I-95 in Maine it was one of my best drives ever..On the back haul, I-81 coming into Pennsylvania from New York was also beautiful... But yeah I generally avoid Philadelphia and the northeast like the plague.. It's the toilet bowl of America for the most part.. real talk LOL
