Towing company owner says AAA left him stranded

fletcherstowingA former towing company owner is taking on AAA Mid-Atlantic, alleging in a recently filed lawsuit that the motorist club cheated him out of hundreds of thousands of dollars and cost him his business.

Larry Bryant, who previously owned Bryant’s Towing, said that for the past five years AAA Mid-Atlantic has been using a faulty customer survey to evaluate the contractors they hire to provide roadside assistance to club members.

Contractors who score high on the survey are awarded a lucrative bonus payment, and Bryant said he received a bonus every month before the new survey process was implemented in 2006.

“Based on the size of my company, I received $30,000 to $50,000 month,” Bryant said.

Survey bonuses accounted for about half of his $1.2 million annual revenue earned from working with AAA, he said.

“The bonus was helping pay my payroll and my personal bills, and that’s how I survived,” Bryant said.

But after AAA hired Florida-based Sterling Survey to manage its survey program, which had previously been conducted via mail-in cards, Bryant said his survey results dropped off a cliff — and so did his bonus payments.

Bryant is seeking $18 million in his lawsuit, filed a few weeks ago in Chesterfield Circuit Court.

AAA spokesperson Martha Meade said the company would not comment on the suit.

At its height, the company had 18 tow trucks, 30 employees and five locations.

Bryant said AAA had previously urged him to expand into Charlottesville and Northern Virginia to provide service to club members. Bryant used bonus funds to finance new trucks, which can cost as much as $110,000.

Once the bonus payments dried up, Bryant said, he soon started falling behind on bills.

Bryant started digging around and said he found some major faults with the program. For instance, he called several customers who had been recorded as having a negative experience, only to be told that the service was excellent and that they thought they were giving the negative review about a different tow company.

The more Bryant complained to AAA management about the program, he said, the fewer service calls were dispatched to his company.

One event in particular led to Bryant’s Towing being eventually cut off from AAA.

After taking his concerns to Sterling Survey, Bryant received a memo from them addressing his concerns and explaining certain details of the program, including the margin of error.

According to the suit, the memo explained that to maintain a margin of error of +/-5 percent, a certain sample size was required. The suit alleges that AAA “failed to ensure an adequate sample size to meet the correct and stated margin of error” and intentionally did so to avoid paying bonuses as outlined in its contracts with towers.

The suit alleges that after showing the letter to AAA territory manager Charles Brady, who is also named individually in the suit, Brady offered a bribe of $10,000 for a copy of the letter. Bryant refused, and claims that as a result he eventually stopped being dispatched service calls from AAA. Brady declined to comment.

By 2009, Bryant said he had no choice but to shut down the business and get rid of his trucks. Some were sold, and others were repossessed.

Bryant said he still has a lot of debts to pay and faces lawsuits from multiple lenders.

“I got people suing me left and right because of this,” Bryant said. “My credit score might be 100. I’m trying not to go bankrupt. I owe these people money, and I want to pay them. If I win this lawsuit, they are going to get paid.”

Although Bryant is the first local tower to file suit against AAA, he isn’t the only one miffed by the 100-year-old motorists association.

Paul Fletcher, owner of Fletcher’s Towing and once the largest local contractor for AAA, said he is preparing his own suit.

“My company, according to them in their own writing, was a company went above and beyond,” Fletcher said, “but I never qualified for this bonus plan.”

Like Bryant, Fletcher said he always hit his full bonus before the new survey plan was implemented but afterward never qualified for the full bonus again, at most receiving $10,000, but usually $4,000 or $5,000.

Fletcher did his own digging and found missing gaps of time between surveys, which led him to believe that AAA was selectively choosing negative reviews in order to skew results below the bonus threshold. He also found that his score was based on 100 surveys out of the 6,000 service calls he was making a month.

Fletcher said AAA told him that arrival time carried 80 percent of the weight with the final survey score, so, last November, Fletcher beefed up his response times.

“I improved my ETAs to under 30 minutes for 92 percent of the calls that I ran,” Fletcher said. “What happened? My score went down.”

Fletcher said his company brought in $2.5 million in revenue when the bonus program was in full effect.

AAA pays contractors around $19 to $23 per call, Fletcher said.

“To change a tire on the side of I-95 is $22. When the bonus was being paid, it amounted to an extra $9 on top of that. That right there is your profit.”

After years of waiting for AAA to fix the program, as they said assured him and other towers were working to do, Fletcher finally got fed up and decided to break his ties with AAA and downsize his 14-year-old company. Fletcher now contracts with insurance companies AllState and Geico.

Fletcher said he sold more than 25 tow vehicles and is down to nine.

“I had to lay off a lot of people and sell my entire car collection to keep from going bankrupt,” Fletcher said, referring to his prized Corvette, a Lamborghini, a Super Sport Camero and a Dodge Viper.

“Better to sell them, pay my remaining employees and pitch in a few dollars to help unload that equipment so I can continue my business,” Fletcher said.

Fletcher said he is looking to file his suit against AAA in federal court in the coming months.

Previosly I had considered AAA to be a company that represented integrity based service. After reading this article, I would have to say my respect for AAA is at an all time low. The underhanded methods that AAA used in this case are an example of true greed at its worst. My heart goes out to all of the small business owners and their families that have suffered at the hands of a large company that has disregarded honesty in their pursuit for money. It is my hope that there will be justice in the end and AAA will be… Read more »

What is the Sterling Research actually doing with the members information? What is the actual purpose of this program? Why was the AAA phone counselor low scores taken out of the survey when they noticed they had a internal problem at AAAMA? If it is proven that the statistics that AAAMA gives out are in fact deceptive, how will the media outlets feel about the statistics AAAMA gives you? This isn’t just about the money for the towers…it might be about the money for AAAMA .The AAAMA President wrote in the AAA World magazine that he likes to right the… Read more »

I spent 4 years behind the wheel of a Fletcher’s tow truck and every day it was the same thing. “Totally satisfied”… “customers first” … “wash your truck”… and “what if that was your grandmother on the side of the road? hurry up!” Paul really does care about every single person waiting for a Fletcher’s truck to come save them. He always spent top dollar on the best and newest equipment. He knows a customer likes a new truck but a driver loves one. Everybody likes Fletcher’s towing. The police always acknowledged me in public if I was wearing my… Read more »

As a former AAA employee and someone that knows both Paul and Larry very well I can say that there is definitely some validity to their concerns. I know in many cases that people are quick to dismiss this type of claim as frivolous or sour grapes from a disgruntled business owner but during my tenure with the company there was a great deal of concern about the validity of the survey process as it was being implemented. When area managers like me posed those questions to senior management they were usually rebuffed in a way that made it clear… Read more »

I have been a AAA member for many years and they have done this provider very dirty. What happens to all our information does it get sold off to the highest bidder? My advice to anyone who would be interested if they did this to one provider how many others are there that have gotten the dirty end of the stick? Well all i can say is we hope you make them pay for what they have done to you guys and god bless. Goodbye and good luck AAA members this is enough for me to say goodbye to AAA.… Read more »

As promised…… This is a actual message left in the “fix it” portion of the actual survey where Charlie Brady, my AAAMA representative called me and told me “he left me a present to show AAAMA how corrupt the program was” in which he had confirmed in writing on the program that another person other than the member that was present at the breakdown took the survey ( another reason why Sterling did not understand the industry). We were told for over a year, these surveys would have a appeal process to correct the unjustified negative impact they had to… Read more »

Years ago I used to be a sub conctractor for AAA always gave 110% to the cust0mer. I would treat the customer like my family member. My pay check would reflect that. One day I got upset with AAA when my mom called AAA when she was broken down on 64 in Richmond, Va. She requested from AAA for me to come help her. She was told that was not possiable cause your son is coming from other side of town that would be to much money to pay him. We are a non profit organization. Ha Ha they make… Read more »

Here is another from the local TM for AAAMA trying to get this corrected with his company, In a email dated 5/23/2008 from Charlie Brady to Paul Fletcher, Charlie writes: It will not affect you. I don’t have anyone that can provide the level of service that you and your staff does that could replace you. I think you are wise enough to know that no matter who the contractor is the survey would be the same! Anyway, I would suggest you write a letter addressed to me, with copy to Glenn and Lance (which I will deliver, don’t mail… Read more »

I was a aaa mid atlantic contractor in new jersey- I have a letter from aaama in 2006 stating they (sterling) needed to do 300 surveys per month per contractor to get a valid survey. I have a phone recording from 2009 in which sterling group tells me they do 30 (yes 30-thirty), i too complained, only to be told i was wrong.

So, if we want to survey a towing company, wouldnt we name the towing company when we know the member could have up to 4 different companies service them in one day? If we presume everyone involved with this at AAAMA and Sterling has at least a high school education, and we want to ensure we have numbers we can use to our advantage on this corrupt system, if we don’t identify the contractor, we will have a batch of bad numbers to work with for our own use…..knowledge that we aren’t going to produce correct numbers… thus the 5%… Read more »

A few years ago, a high ranking public official told AAAMA that Fletcher’s Towing had improved the image of AAA in the area……..sounds like Fletcher’s was far set apart from the rest, but according to AAAMA’s Sterling research surveys we are not….well that’s what they wanted me to believe… you see, after… Read more »

Everyone should read the current AAA World magazine, the letter from the President, and you will now see part of the reason for this fraudulent survey program. I can say its fraudulent and no one from AAA or Sterling says a word, because I am telling the truth. One of the reasons for them having a survey plan like they have is so they can eliminate towers and repair facilities where they want to put their own in. They are working on legislation right now telling you they care, what they care about is getting your money… if they really… Read more »

Every AAA member who has purchased a battery from AAA should request to see the “test” receipt and look at the cca the person put into the test. Put in the wrong cca and it will show “”bad, replace battery”. AAAMA is pushing battery sales, they wont write you up, but they will tell you you need to sell more batteries on this program. The drivers are paid for battery sales, thus are enticed to “fudge” the test to gain a sale, it’s human nature for a lot of people to “do whatever it takes to make more money” at… Read more »

Statistically people want to voice their dissatisfaction and will go out of their way to do so. The trick to beating the AAA survey is getting the 98% of your members who are happy or “Totally Satisfied” to actually report that back to AAA. The whole system is designed to sort the unhappy. We are all more prone to voice a complaint than a praise. Does anyone have suggestions to get more totally satisfied people to convert to actually sending the survey in?

My expences have gone up 200 percent and AAA doesn’t seem to care at all. When you complain to the supervisor you get talked down to like you are nothing.

I have now heard from Delaware, New Jersey, Texas, California, Michigan, all with the same story here in Virginia…… I believe the states should start looking into this as two of these areas the towers have been asked to buy more equipment only to get a decreased territory within weeks of buying additional equipment. This is in my opinion malicious at this point asking a towing company to purchase more equipment then cutting their revenue….which produces a certain end for the tower. I beleive if this is looked into by the states they will see exactly what is going on… Read more »

I have a issue with them knowingly utilizing false data. Either Sterling Research group provided false contaminated data or AAA the organization contaminated it for their own agenda, either way using false information knowlingly to prevent millions in bonus payouts to contractors, not only is ethically wrong, but it also deminishes the quality and safety of the service that is sent to its members. This is about towers in more than one state that has been railroaded. It is my opinion it was a “dishonest business scheme” by AAA as the tower the survey was on was never mentioned to… Read more »

It’s a shame what AAA micromanaging has done to the independent contractor. We too have pointed out inconsistencies with their survey system. It basically translated into a “paycut” for the contractors across the board when they went to an outside source. We are probably one of the higher paid AAA contractors in the rural area and we’re so fed-up with the poor management practices we’re ready to sell trucks and cut ties with AAA. Good luck with the lawsuit. It will be difficult going up against a company that retains it’s own fleet of attorneys.

I’m a tower out in California and went through the EXACT same situation with AAA. After all the cuts from the bonus program many towers complained that all their profit were gone. AAA’s solution was to eliminate 60 towers contracts and put them all out to bid. AAA doubled the size of the contract territories; this created only 30 contracts available to bid on. The result was 30 towers who had contracts for many years were now out of a job. Many of those towers faced serious financial trouble. The ones that did win the contracts were forced to invest… Read more »

I know of a towing company in South Florida who recently was replaced by a company who some say paid to get the area back. They had it previously and when they wanted it back, their friends in the AAA offices had went higher in the ranks. They made this other guy get more trucks and then pulled the carpet from under him. They suck.
