Last time I broke down near a callbox they only asked if anyone was injured.
I said no and I got put on hold.  They didn't get around to AAA until much
later, when they came back on.  Re speed of trucks in general, I've only needed
a tow once since I quit AAA and they came a lot faster than before.  Perhaps
companies hold back on AAA calls because they're not as lucrative?  I don't
know.  I just know that I called and they came right away, as opposed to a
half-hour or forty-five minutes later.
