I hit a piece of steel on I-90. I was in a tractor trailer. It took out my trailer brakes and I was able to get onto an on-ramp, off the highway, out of the way of oncoming vehicles. The state troopers called their next available vendor: Interstate Towing. They arrived in a short amount of time and proceeded to back off the trailer brakes. It soon became clear to me that the technician didn't know what he was doing. After many attempts, and maybe a YouTube instructional video, he managed to free up the brakes and I was able to move. They had two vehicles, a smaller tow truck and a rig to tow tractor trailers. They insisted I now follow them to the tandem yard off exit 51 on the MA Pike. I told them that my terminal is literally a few hundred yards away and that I had time-sensitive freight on board that needed to be off-loaded. I questioned their rationale for going to the tandem yard as opposed to my yard, a very short distance away. As we got off the exit I drove past the tandem yard heading for my trucking terminal yard so we could complete paperwork and the freight could still "make service". The driver of the small tow truck aggressively drove past me and cut me off skidding and abruptly stopping in front of me. I only had tractor brakes and thankfully was driving at a slow enough speed that I could stop. They blocked the exit to Burnett Rd tying up traffic and called the state troopers. The police escorted me to the tandem yard where they took another hour to tow my truck less than a quarter of a mile. This was reckless, dangerous, unnecessary, and clearly just a way to get more money. Be that as it may, I understand that my company deals with these situations on a daily basis. However, the blatant disregard for the smooth and efficient operation of the supply chain. which is critical. especially in this economy, in order to pad the coffers of Interstate Towing is downright shameful and reprehensible. The tow driver and the state police tried to frame this as an issue of safety. That is completely specious and disingenuous. I already drove the truck 5 miles at 55 mph and they were not letting me proceed another few hundred yards at 15 miles per hour!? I had no choice but to use them since the state police were involved. If you are reading this and you ever find yourself in a situation in which road service is needed, avoid this company. Just look at the other reviews and, oh by the way, look at their long history of controversial and questionable decisions made in their neighborhood and society as a whole. These are probably mostly good people who work there but the business ethics and guiding principles by which this company operates is questionable at best. Avoid them at all costs! read more
