Towing and impound context
Four interstates converge on the city and all of them meet the beltway, I-465, which is where most freeway breakdowns actually happen. Police-directed tows and private-property tows are handled separately and stored separately.
Weather that puts cars on a flatbed
Winter brings snow, freezing rain and long cold spells, and the freight traffic that makes this a distribution hub keeps salt on the roads for months. Cold mornings after a hard freeze are the peak for jump starts.
Charging and electric vehicles
Cold weather shortens range and slows fast charging, which matters most on the long interstate runs that pass through here. Recovery of a stopped EV means a flatbed, because the drive wheels cannot be decoupled from the motor.
