Predatory Towing: What Every Truck Driver Must Know

Your truck gets towed and you did not see it coming. The bill is outrageous, the situation is stressful, and you are hundreds of miles from home trying to figure out what just happened. Predatory towing schemes, cargo theft, and parking scams are targeting commercial drivers at an alarming rate and most drivers do not find out about them until it is too late. In Episode 23 of the Cypress Truck Lines Podcast, Cypress drivers Devon Sonson and D'onte Pitmon sit down with Marcus to share their real firsthand experiences with towing situations that could have gone a whole lot worse. Both drivers made mistakes, both drivers owned them, and both drivers worked with Cypress dispatch to get the situation handled with minimal damage. What comes out of this conversation is not just a cautionary tale. It is a masterclass in how the right company culture handles a bad situation. We also dig into the stats on predatory towing, cargo theft, truck stop scams, and what every OTR, regional, and local driver needs to know before their next load. New episodes drop every Wednesday.
