Probably because the tow truck company and the sherriff's department have some sort of "deal" so that anytime the sherriff's office can give the tow truck company an opportunity to rip someone's eyeballs out they jump on it!
Tow truck companies are ruthless and not just a "private owned company trying to make a living." There are plenty of other ways to make a living that allows you to keep your morals intact and not thrive off of spending your whole day looking to ruin someone's day by towing their truck, most of the time when it isnt even necessary!
I routinely see employees from these companies riding around and looking for someone to tow even though they are parked in an empty parking lot and no one has complained.
Every time I have had the pleasure of dealing with a tow truck company I have been treated with a total lack of respect, felt like I was being robbed, and needed to take a shower when I left! MOST of these guys are lower than meter readers in my book walking around gIvins paring tickets.
I say "Most" because there is obviously room for legitimate tow truck companies for dialed vehicles or when law enforcement arrests someone and needs to tow their vehicle. I guess there could be some tow companies that is ethical and does their work in a LESS SLIMELY manner than most. I surely have not dealt with them yet, though.
P.S.: If anyone on this site works for or owns a tow truck company I am sure you are the exception to the rule and are a stand-up individual.
