A few years ago we cancelled our AAA and signed up with CN. One night at 12 am I broke down in Erie, PA. It wasn't the tow vehicle, but we had the coverage for all. CN was real nice on the phone and tried to be helpful, but they couldn't find anyone who would respond for them. The tow companies never heard of Coach Net and wouldn't deal with them. They finally found someone in a small town 40 miles away. It took 3 hours for someone to actually come.
The one good thing about it was the CN guy also called the local cops since there was a lone woman broke down on the side of the road in the middle of the night. So a cop stayed with me most of the time until his supervisor told him to move on.
The moral of the story is CN isn't accepted or known everywhere - not even in the 3rd largest city in PA.
We now carry CN and AAA.
Coach-Net is a division of the National Motor Club, one of the largest independently owned ERS providers in the country. NMC has been in business since since 1956, and the RV specialized Coach-Net division since 1987. Any tow operator that hasn't heard of them is either very new to the business, or not keeping up with what goes in the industry. Coach-Net is usually ranked among the top three ERS dispatch companies for payment amount and speed of payment in the ongoing tow industry survey conducted by towPartners, the largest towing industry organization in the country.
I'll just add that when Coach-Net deals with a service provider that's not one of their contracted 40,000 roadside service providers, they pay by credit card on the spot.

Hello 911, I have a flat and need a cop. They'll tell you to call a tow service.

People get killed "parked" on the side of the interstate. That is why we have the Move Over laws.

Then no one should waste their money on AAA, Coach-Net, Good Sam, Etc.?
Just call 911 for a dead battery? ๐
I can see that happening, NOT. Hello 911, I have a flat and need a cop. They'll tell you to call a tow service. That's what flares and road triangles are for. A flat tire is not a 911 EMERGENCY.
Coach Net is great. Carried them for many years with no tow. Then we had a rash of tows. Wife's car needed to be towed when the clutch blew, yes it includes your personal car also. Then we needed out fifth wheel towed Twice on one trip. One MH towing. Added up the costs and I exceeded what I paid over all the years.
Remember they will tow you to the nearest repair location regardless of distance. Need a tire? They'll find you one. Just having someone who can call around the unknown area you are in is worth it.
First thing Coach net asks you , "are you in a safe place".
