Over the past week, heard a couple of calls for "immediate tows" requested on the Zone. Since I have NXDN trunking capability and E & R towing talk groups in their own section, started listening. Within a short period if time, the E & R dispatcher called his truck on the radio, gave the address and told the driver "I'm sending it through your teletrac". Vehicle(s) were picked up, tow truck called out "I'm 10-17 to the Pound with (1/2), and didn't hear anything else until they were "10-8 from 2".
The Zone dispatcher always cautions beat cars about ordering "re-lo's" vs "tow" because it will take too long. I was listening to the Streets and Sanitation tow trucks this weekend and they were dispatching throughout the city, but no mention of priorities. However, when it came to the Central Business District or Lake Shore Drive crashes, they moved on it. Most went to the Central Auto Pound on Lower Wacker Dr.
