All About Towing must wait at least two more weeks before the Chattanooga Beer and Wrecker Board decides whether it will add the wrecker service to the city’s wrecker rotation list.

The board voted this morning to hold a decision on the company, located at 2719 Dodds Ave., until its Oct. 2 meeting because owner Darlene Barr had not filled out a new application and did not have a driver other than Carter Gross, a convicted felon.

Board members expressed concern that Ms. Barr had little wrecker experience and that she would allow Mr. Gross to continue driving.

“Are we being fair to the residents of this city to have someone uncertain and shaky towing?” J. Frederick Weinhold asked.

Ms. Barr said she will search for a new driver during the next few days.

“He was recommended to me because he knows how to tow,” Ms. Barr said, explaining why she used Mr. Gross as a driver.
