I know the people of one of the Towing Companies that are first on the list to do these recoveries on the main portion of this described highway and yes as has been said when it is a traffic mishap it is the truck insurance companies that have to pay. Believe me this is not the type of operation where the lowest bidder gets the job. The operators that have the most complete fleet of towing equipment and have the reputation of getting the job done have the work. There is never a case where the answer is "no we can't do it right now". Sometimes they nearly go days without sleep... logbooks don't apply here. No matter how much weight is being towed, if the tow truck has the only axles with brakes there is no rule book that shuts them down. On the recoveries you are referring to 10 and 20 thousand dollars per incident is nothing unusual. They look after the whole meal deal, if they need a D9 as part of the recovery, yes they bring their own, just get the job done. A bit further south of this highway stretch, but the same road, they looked after calling in divers to hook up a vehicle that collided with a semi, flew off the bridge, the occupants of the vehicle having drowned. When they share their stories I can assure you their career is not for me. With big invoices per job keep in mind that one of their last tow trucks cost 1/2 a million dollars. In the event of truck breakdowns the trucker himself pays, sometimes warranty covers the cost. The whole business on the highway is not for the faint of heart.
