130.00.5-4. ROTATION LIST TYPES.
Each Troop Commander shall establish the towing zones within the respective Troop. Each Troop Headquarters shall establish two Towing Rotation Lists as follows:
4.1 Light Duty Towing Rotation List: To be placed on the Light Duty Towing Rotation List, a business must have the following equipment:
4.1.A A light duty tow vehicle, equipped with a wheel lift device. Those businesses providing services under a Towing Rotation List at the time of enactment of these Rules shall be exempt from the requirement of having available a wheel lift-equipped truck, if that towing business did not operate such a truck at the time of enactment.
4.1.A.i However, at the discretion of the officer requesting the tow, if it is determined that a wheel lift-equipped truck is required for the particular call, the next available towing business having such equipment shall be called and the towing business not providing such equipment shall forfeit that particular call rotation.
4.1.B A rollback-equipped truck for transporting cars, light trucks and other related items not amendable to towing by a sling, wheel lift, or other methods normally utilized by a tow truck. Those towing businesses providing services under a Towing Rotation List at the time of enactment of these rules shall be exempted from the requirement of having available a rollback-equipped truck, if the towing business did not operate such a truck at the time of enactment.
4.1.B.i However, if at the discretion of the officer requesting the tow, it is determined that a rollback-equipped truck having such equipment shall be required for the particular call, the towing business not providing such equipment shall forfeit that particular call rotation.
4.2 The tow vehicle utilized for Light Duty Tow calls shall be able to respond immediately. If the towing business is not able to respond immediately, it shall notify the Troop Headquarters. The Troop Headquarters shall move to the next available towing business that can respond immediately, and the towing business that was unable to respond shall forfeit that call rotation.
4.3 Heavy Duty Tow Vehicles: To be placed on the Heavy Duty Towing Rotation List, a towing business shall have available the following equipment:
4.3.A A heavy duty tow truck, equipped with an “underlift” device to be utilized for connecting to the vehicle to be towed.
4.3.A.i At the discretion of the officer requesting the tow, it is determined that a heavy duty tow truck is required for the particular rotation call, the next available towing business having such equipment shall be called and the towing business not providing such equipment will forfeit that particular call rotation.
4.3.A.ii Those towing businesses providing services under a Towing Rotation List at the time of enactment of these rules, shall be exempted from the requirement of having available an underlift-equipped truck if that towing business did not operate such an equipped truck at the time of enactment.
4.3.A.iii At the discretion of the officer requesting the tow, it is determined that an “underlift” device is required for the particular rotation call, the next available towing business having such equipment shall be called and the towing business not providing such equipment shall forfeit that particular call rotation.
4.3.B Access to other towing equipment (another wrecker service) to clean up major accidents, including but not limited to, grain, logs, sand, gravel, cargo, etc. For purposes of this requirement, the towing business need not own or operate the equipment itself, but the towing business shall have a written agreement with a competent business within the same towing zone with which it may contract for services on a twenty-four (24) hour basis. Any towing business contracting for clean up services under this requirement shall be responsible for any damages inflicted by its contractor as if it were performing the services itself.
4.4 The tow vehicle utilized for calls from the Heavy Duty Tow Vehicle Rotation List shall be dispatched immediately upon request by the Troop Headquarters. If a heavy duty tow vehicle cannot be in route within twenty (20) minutes from the time the request for services is made, the ASP shall move to the next towing business on the Heavy Duty Towing Rotation List. A towing business that is unable to respond shall forfeit that particular call rotation.
