The regulation of tow car owners is designed to protect the public from unlicensed and uninsured operators. Owner applications must include vehicle registrations, insurance certificate of public liability naming the Town of Hempstead as the certificate holder, New York State sales tax authorization, New York State driver's license (applicants must have at least a Non-CDL Class C License with a tow truck endorsement), lease agreement from owner or terminal, worker's compensation and disability certificate and one photo of each officer or owner. All first-time owners are fingerprinted and checked for previous criminal records.
