Tow truck drivers fight against proposed new rules - WBTV 3 News, Weather, Sports, and Traffic for Charlotte, NC-
CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - Monday night a number of Charlotte tow truck drivers told the city council its plans to fight so-called "predatory towing" are a bad idea -- and would actually be dangerous.
Tow truck drivers say the two parts of the proposed new rules that are dangerous are a requirement for them to be available to give cars back 24 hours a day, plus a requirement they wait and check with police to see if a car's stolen before towing it.

"We have people that come to the lot very irate," said a woman with one towing company. "They're cussing, they're screaming, and it's a dangerous situation for not only the consumer, but the drivers as well."
Drivers are also upset about a part of the proposed rules that would force them to wait and check with police to make sure a car is not stolen before towing it. They say irate drivers may also threaten them while they're waiting.

CORPUS CHRISTI — The city is raising the fees auto wreckers can charge while lowering the amount of time they are given to respond to calls from police officers.
The City Council approved a new ordinance Tuesday governing non-consent towing, including autos in accidents or those being impounded.
City police officers rotate through a list of about 16 wrecking companies for all non-consent towing services.

The ordinance, a cooperative effort of the Corpus Christi Police Department and several local towing companies, would allow wreckers to begin charging $110 for hauling off cars and small trucks, a $20 increase.
In exchange, city-approved wreckers would be required to show up within 30 minutes of being contacted by an officer, regardless of conditions, and employees would be subject to tighter drug and background checks.
The 30-minute window could to be tough to meet, said Joe Dees, owner of Statewide Wrecker Service.
