01Start with the exact service
Determine whether the request is voluntary towing, roadside assistance, police rotation, City-ordered towing, private-property impound, accident rotation, heavy-duty, locksmith, junk-vehicle purchase, interstate transport, commercial account work, or another category. One label does not establish authority for every category.
02Identify every jurisdiction
The pickup, travel route, destination, property, vehicle class, and type of authority can involve different state, city, county, transportation, police, airport, venue, parking, or private-property requirements. A nearby office or service radius does not replace those checks.
03Match the legal name
A formation record, certificate, license, permit, contract, rotation list, registration, or application should name Tommy's Road Rescue, LLC or document the precise relationship that makes it applicable. Another company or trade name is not automatic authority.
04Read the grant and exclusions
Review the authorized service, territory, vehicle or weight class, customer type, term, status, conditions, insurance, tariff or rate requirement, recordkeeping, inspection, and any excluded operation. Filing an application is different from receiving authority.
05Separate public road authority from property access
Owner-confirmed facility access does not eliminate live gate, security, event, curb, clearance, loading, customer-authorization, property, airport, venue, stadium, garage, or destination instructions. Access must be requalified for the actual assignment.
06Recheck status before reliance
Applications, stays, certificates, permits, registrations, contracts, exemptions, and agency guidance can change. Use the responsible current source and effective document rather than an old screenshot or broad website sentence.
