Tow News Around the States

In an effort to reduce drinking and driving,  

Manatee County, Fl has taken extreme measures 

PREVENTING cars from being

towed between 9pm - and noon the next day.  

Of course there are extenuating circumstances 

when a vehicle is blocking an

emergency exit or access area then 

towing will be necessary.

Story Here

Meanwhile........

Charleston, SC takes there street sweeping cleaning 

duties quite seriously!  All vehicles will be towed, 

no exceptions in Radcliffborough.  

Move it or lose it! 

and from Piscataway, New Jersey

Tow Truck Drivers are People Too!

It's all in a days work!

Oh the trucks!

Oh the trucks..........

Holy &^@(*#&*!&*(!&.....are you kidding me?

It seems that my entire 20 hour road trip had me 

sandwiched between four massive trucks

that would not let me pass..........they

wouldn't let each other pass either.

What's that about?  I always thought there

was this breaker, breaker brotherly love

thing happening with truckers.  

When you're traveling along I95 you

get to know the vehicles and trucks that

are traveling with you.  So I had my eye on

what appeared to be a family in several vans

traveling together...........and can I say I was

shocked when they pulled over to the shoulder,

all five vehicles right at the edge of an exit.

Hello, are you crazy!   

This would be an instance for a pile up, worse

this would be a nightmare for an emergency

crew to get to these vehicles without putting

their lives in jeopardy.  

I saw some wild moves during my journey.....

you know, the people that pass on the right

leaving your heart in your stomach or the

people that pull off onto the shoulder and

swing open the driver's side door right into

on-coming 80 mile an hour traffic........

without a care in the world! 

Then you have the trucks that travel 

together four in a row............with that

kind of weight and momentum they

could never stop!

Having taken this trip I really have an

appreciation for the battle tow truck

companies are up in arms about it. It's

dangerous work and enforcement of the

Move Over Law in every State is imperative.

Stayin' Alive on I95!

Stayin' Alive on I95

Holy #$%%#^^&*&............are you kidding me!

I am by no means a seasoned traveler, but I have

taken many trips along the east coast.

The past two days I drove from New York through

New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia,

North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia

and landed to my destination in Florida.

wow, it was an eye opening experience.......

 First off kudos must go to the State of Florida!  They get

a gold star!  When you enter the State there's a large

gold and white sign:

It's Florida Law

You Must MOVE OVER

for Stopped Emergency Vehicles

These signs are scattered down the I95 corridor of Florida.  

Not only that, they also have electronic reader boards

announcing when there's a disabled vehicle

giving you a heads up! 

Unfortuntely I cannot say the same about the rest 

of the States that I traveled through.  There were so many

areas along I95 that it would be impossible to pull

over.........you know, the States that have yet to

widen the roads.  I can see how this can be

so dangerous for a motorist that pulls onto

the shoulder and even more dangerous

for the emergency vehicles that are trying to

assist. 

I'll save my Mac truck experiences for another

post........let's just say I prayed all the

way to Florida.

Blue Light Bill

Blue Light Bill

Struck Down in Albany

More bad news for the tow truck industry

who are desperately trying to

find ways to keep themselves and 

employees safe while trying

to rescue vehicles

along highways.

This bill would have allowed tow truck

operators to put blue flashing lights in their

back windows so passerby's could see

them more clearly on the side of the road.

to give.

Tow Lives Matter

Tow Lives Matter

When we leave our homes day or night

to stay alive is our fight

our job claims a life a week

as safety we all seek

Our lives revolve around a thin line

same as life yours and mine

so brothers and sisters all stand tall

for we have seen it all

Cars up a pole or in a lake

all are chances that we take

when we are loading on a deck

or rushing to a wreck

Never knowing which breath will be our last

or if we will die going to fast

we don't see the future my friend

or know when life will end

 - Willard Meehan

This poem has been circulating the internet as a reminder

of just how fleeting life can be - for you and me.

Towing Company Saves Kitten Thrown From Moving Vehicle

I've got to write about these feel good moments 

because in today's world it matters.  

Most especially when it comes to a towing company 

that steps up to assist motorists and animals too!

The manager of Volusia County Towing had been 

out on call Sunday when he and another motorist 

noticed the injured kitten in the median of a busy road.  

Manager Forsman decided to grab the kitten and 

she is now under the care of the towing company 

and local Vet too!

Tow Trucks Gather In Procession

Tow trucks gathered in procession this weekend 
for another fallen brother.  George's Custom Towing
was there with our fleet to honor Tommy.

Tommy Anthony Flaghart, 48 years old, from State Tow in Baltimore had pulled off the side of a highway when he 

was struck from behind by a drunk driver. He was taken to the

hospital and later succumbed to his injuries. 

He was struck down on May 25, 2017.

LOCAL NEWS 

Due to alcohol or drugs the
driver was unable to SLOW DOWN as
he approached Tommy who was behind
his tow truck. 

When is it going to stop, these senseless
highway killings.
