Junkyards yes, but he says he often gets cash from the car owners in return for not towing the car. People are very willing to go to an ATM to get cash to avoid being towed. It saves him time too and he can go right on to the next car and repeat process.

He works for himself. He has contracts with apartment complexes and commercial lots. He has to turn a % of each car towed over to them so him taking cash is best outcome.

the gas, wear-and-tear, and time saved make it a no-brainer, even if he's taking a 50% cut on the portion of the impound fee he receives, probably not more than 50% of the daily rate. Figure about $150/tow maybe. $75 to drop the car is worth it since there's always another one nearby. But he's probably getting at least $150 to drop the car.

This dude is killing it. I’ve gotten into the wrong line of work. He has one of his employees assigned to a single parking lot every day from 4-9. It’s an inner-ring residential area nearby the downtown. People always park in this lot and go somewhere else. His employee nails these guys because there’s tons of restaurants nearby this lot.
The CVS which is the anchor tenant for this lot takes 10% of whatever my buddy gets. Sometimes people who into the CVS first and then try to walk to the restaurants nearby and he still tows the cars.
