To add to Rock hills explanation. The tow company has a contract. They may have contracts with several ERS, police, the local mall, etc.They service emergencies first. After that they take calls pretty much in order.

The tow company doesn't care if you call everyday for service, they get paid no matter who calls them. However your ERS monitors your use as it does matter to their bean counters.
Some ERS companies have a reputation for slow pay or trying to negotiate service calls after the fact. These companies will have less reliable and forthright tow companies.

Yes they try to take them in order but if they have a car smashed and blocking traffic they ARE going to drag that one off first before going to a flat tire safely off the road and in a parking lot.
And the more ever increasingly recent posts complaining hysterically about how long it took them to get there for a flat tire in their DRIVEWAY at HOME? I can't even finish reading those. :R
