Safety Board reduces garage haul in double charge policy
The Safety Board ordered Test Realty to discontinue its double charging for hauling in autos for the police department after a legal interpretation of the haul-in contract. The board revoked Penn-Tenn garage and awarded wrecked vehicle hauling to Test after bids. David Henry filed the complaint, citing charges for going and return distances and craning cars that could be towed. The board, citing contract provisions and fair service, may revoke the contract if the fee structure remains unprofitable.
