You can bank on any company to want to make the most money, that is one
reason I mentioned the multiple tows, as its not something the volunteer
in there benefits package..

 Lousy tow drivers are a whole 'nuther issue tho, and as much as I would
like AAA to be more responsible for them, I can  see how that isn't really
possible. Sometimes, its better to just pay the dopey driver, and then
send the bill to AAA, as long as you talk to them first, they are usually
okay with that.

I'm sorry I didn't mention being unhooked and making another call. Kind of
thought it was implied, so thanks for pointing that out.

Hope no one ever needs to do it, but its there if the occasion arises.
