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.

Any time I've had to call one, it's been great.

Once when I was like 9, I was with my mom hauling horses down the coast and her old Ford shat it's transmission out for the third time. The commercial tow truck driver(s) was a husband and wife team that were really fun when riding with them. I left my prized stuffed rabbit in their truck and they went out of their way to get our address and express mail it back to me.

The one time I "randomly" encountered one (you know why), he was an absolute fucking shithead.

It all depends on what they're trying to get out of you. The ones that make their bank off of cruising around town for parking "violations" are straight up illegal scammers that need a good punching. The ones doing recovery and roadside are saints.
