I’m just curious what people’s experiences have been. I know I have my opinions based on my experiences. Curious to hear from others.

I’ve only had to interact with one once but he seemed like a decent guy. Was taking my car to the shop for me after I called AAA when it wouldn’t start for some reason. We ended up talking about my experience with social anxiety, and he shared that he’d also had challenges getting used to social settings and explained that his girlfriend had helped him with it. He offered some advice- can’t say it was especially helpful, but it wasn’t unhelpful either. He just made some kinda rudimentary recommendations, but they were obviously well intended. And we talked some about how he was trying to make money to support his child at home.

Like I said, seemed like a decent guy to me. 🤷🏻

So far only positive experiences. My car broke down on the freeway and he towed me home. He was generally pleasant and want too rough with it.

Almost exclusively

The situations that require them suck by default but I’ve never dreaded the ride with them

The one exception was a mishap with parking enforcement where I was erroneously impounded but that was simple human error and fixed by day’s end

Other than being pricey every experience I’ve had with tow truck drivers has been positive/neutral. But I don’t live in a city or a place where people get involuntarily towed often.
