Sometimes when they punch up your location it may show someone that is 100 miles away at the top of the list,so they click on that. Kind of like google,may not even pertain to your problem.

I run into the same problems with a break down in my semi and our dispatch has national fleet towing/repair accounts. Have had a little tow truck show up to tow 80,000 lbs. The guy thought he was going to tow a pickup truck. Somewhere between the call to the company and tow dispatch the person at the tow company forgot it was a big rig.
We as a society want every thing right now and done right. ME FIRST. Sometimes we are not the only call the call center gets,but we think we are.
