There are allegations a towing company tasked with clearing some New York City highways is overcharging consumers. As LisaRoznerTV reports, even the city wants to sever ties, but it can't.
-- There are allegations a towing company tasked with clearing some New York City highways is overcharging consumers.Michael Martin's truck was torn open after he says he mistakenly got on the Belt Parkway, where commercial vehicles are not permitted, and hit a bridge. The North Carolina resident was issued two tickets, and the truck was removed by Runway Towing, which has the exclusive contract with the city to keep nine highways clear, including the Belt Parkway.
"I was shocked because I was, like, a mile from my house so I was wondering why my motorcycle went all the way to Queens," she said."Runway loved when when owners of vehicles went to the hospital because automatically it was coming back to the yard," he said. The city has a longstanding practice of giving tow companies contracts to keep major roads clear, and Runway has had the exclusive contract along several city highways for more than a decade, but it wasn't until 2021 that the city tried to sever ties with the company., including drivers issuing blank receipts so they can dictate the prices instead of receipts that disclose set city rates and include a consumer bill of rights on the back.
Errol Margolin, attorney for Runway Towing, would not do an interview but denies Runway overcharges consumers. He said by email, in part, that allegations of racketeering against the company are"truly absurd." "The manure that Runway had us to do certain people was horrible," a former Runway driver said."Somebody has to answer for it."
