Permits For Tow Truck Companies.

The question on appeal was whether tow truck companies and drivers must obtain a permit in each jurisdiction in which they tow cars. The appellate court concluded a city was only authorized to regulate those tow truck companies and drivers who maintain their principal place of business or employment in that city.
