One of our drivers parked a tractor trailer in a strip mall that he has parked in for 21 years when in Fort Lauderdale to visit his mom. His co-driver patronized a tavern in the mall, then they spent the night at mom's. The next morning the rig was gone. Unknown to the drivers, the mall must have contracted this unscrupulous company to tow vehicles out of their parking lot. Why it was unknown was because the entry the driver used was not posted, also being a patron of one of the business's you would expect to be authorized to park.
The tractor trailer was taken to All County Towing's yard, 8 miles away. Upon arrival the driver's were told it would cost them $550 per unit (even though they were attached). The driver's requested to see a copy of the regulations and towing license. They were told very rudely by a nasty woman behind thick glass that they didn't have to show the drivers anything and if they wanted the truck back it would be $1100 cash.
I can't believe the city of Fort Lauderdale condones such an operation. The business the driver patronized had lost future business. These people are nasty scum...
