You'll soon be able to get free towing on most Harris County freeways. Here's how.
When other people are leaving work is when Enrique Luna gets to work, right beside homeward-bound commuters along a Houston freeway, ready to get a stranded vehicle out of the way.
Inching along Interstate 45 behind the wheel of a tow truck, Luna spends most of his time looking and listening — making intermittent loops through the congestion looking for stranded vehicles on the shoulder and listening to about a half-dozen police scanners and radios around the truck’s cabin.
“You listen for words,†Luna explains. “Then you drown out the other ones to listen to that one radio.â€
At any moment, one of the swarm of Tow and Go trucks sitting beneath overpasses or rolling along crowded Houston freeways can be dispatched to a disabled car or truck and remove it from the freeway for free.
