Original Comment I just had my SAFECO insured vehicle towed . I had to ride in tow truck. A few minutes into trip to tire store I noticed that the driver, Donovan Fillippo, of Patriot Towing in Vancouver, WA, was not wearing a mask. I saw a blue surgical mask in the visor. I asked him to put on a mask. He would not, said he does not wear them. I told him to roll down windows. He rolled them about three inches .For the rest of the journey I sat in silence, facing the window, seething. Then I noticed the right wing talk radio airing. I called Patriot Towing when I got to the tire store and complained. I was informed that the company drivers are not required to wear masks and can exercise their right to not wear one. The name Patriot Towing should have been a giveaway. I called the Safeco number associated with it "Urgently" towing to complain about Safeco having towing contracts with a company that may be killing its customers, certainly causing high risk customers like me great anxiety as I wait to see if I develop symptoms. Of course I was masked but sitting next to an unmasked driver is harrowing. I urge you to review your towing contracts and mandate that any tow truck that comes to assist Safeco customers has a masked driver. The contract with Patriot should be terminated. It is a company of deniers. For each call the initial employee said she would get a supervisor to speak to me. On the first call I waited 15 minutes for the supervisor. For the second call I waited 22 minutes and hung up. It was obvious no supervisor would ever appear. I am furious. Fix this.
