Commercial vehicle loading zones in Midtown and Lower Manhattan are limited to specific hours and operators. Tow trucks generally have brief stop privileges during active loading, but we can't camp in them.
Dispatch may stage the truck on a side street while the driver assesses on foot. This is faster than circling for parking.
Same $249 / hour rate. Time spent staging is part of dispatch — clock starts when work begins.
