Tow companies often invest thousands of dollars in training employees how to operate expensive equipment. It would seem reasonable that tow companies should reap the rewards of these investments. Conversely, it seems unfair that a tow operator should accept this training only to start his own tow company or, even worse, accept employment with a competitor. Often times, a tow company will seek to solve this problem by requiring employees to sign a document containing post employment restrictions such as non-disclosure agreements, non-solicitation agreements, and non-compete agreements. Because the legalities of each type of agreement are different, a basic understanding of each is helpful.
