Towing and impound context

This is a freight city: I-40 and I-55 cross here and the Mississippi River bridges funnel enormous truck volumes through a small number of lanes. A breakdown on a bridge approach or the inner loop, I-240, clears slowly.

Weather that puts cars on a flatbed

Snow is sporadic and light. Ice storms and freezing rain are the real danger, pulling limbs onto cars and power lines and making driving hazardous well before any snow accumulates.

Charging and electric vehicles

Charging is concentrated downtown, in East Memphis and along the interstates. Cold snaps reduce range, and an electric vehicle that will not move needs a flatbed because its wheels stay coupled to the drive unit.
