Check up time: Tire Tread

..........Tire Tread is HUGE!  Time to check out your tires before winter
descends!


Personally I rely on Jiffy Lube way too much! I just figure
they will tell me when I need new tires, perhaps it's
time for a little personal responsibility on my part.

Understanding tire tread is an important factor in your
vehicle's health and performance.  Not to mention
accident potentials especially on slick or snow covered roads.

So, be alert!  Don't put it off.  
Have your tires checked or check them yourself!

Have a Great Tow Experience!

I found this great article on the steps for having a great tow experience..........

Not that we would want to have this experience at all, but since our vehicles
have a mind of their own we need to be prepared!

1.  Safety
2.  Preparation
3.  Making the Call
4.  Wait
5.  Towing


Better to be prepared than not!

Being a Tow Truck Driver Can Be Unnerving Job

I thought this article brings clarity to the daily life of a 
Tow Truck driver:


What it fails to bring to light is the MANY benefits as well!  There's no better feeling than being in service and 
helping a frantic stranded motorist.

Or how about the many animals we've rescued along the way!

Or how about the joy of working with a coordinated team
on a daily basis - that has your back.

With this job comes danger.........but miracles
come everyday as well!

We know.

Good to know: Defensive Driving Tactics

Are you getting ready for a fall/winter vacation, please stay alert on the road!

Sleep deprivation or fatigue is equal to a .08 alcohol level.  
From 2009 - 2012, there's been an increase in fatal crashes involving large trucks.

The only way to protect yourself is to be overly aware while on the road and
learning a few defensive driving tactics to keep you safe.

 Some things to be on the lookout for:
  • Turning with a wide radius.
  • Straddling the center of the road or lane marker
  • Almost striking an object or other vehicle.
  • Weaving or zigzagging across the road.
  • Driving on other than a designated roadway.
  • Swerving or abruptly turning away from a generally straight course.
  • Turning abruptly or illegally.
  • Driving slower than 10 mph below speed limit.
  • Stopping without cause in a traffic lane.
  • Stopping inappropriately (other than in lane).
  • Drifting or moving in a straight-line at a slight angle to the roadway.
  • Erratic braking.
  • Driving into opposing or crossing traffic.
  • Signaling that is inconsistent with driving actions.
  • Slow response to traffic signals (sudden stop, delayed start).

Tow Trucks and Dashcams

It's really difficult for a service business to have to be in defensive mode to
protect themselves but unfortunately that is the way of the world today - I'm not
saying that's alright, it just is.

So why not use the technology that's available to arm yourself.


A driver abruptly stops, slamming on his brakes
 for no reason - although he did tell the police officer
that he stopped because another car stopped
in front of him. This caused a tow truck, that
just happened to be there to slam into
the driver.

Insurance Fraud 
The supposed victim shows up at a medical
clinic claiming he was injured when a 
tow truck rammed into his vehicle. He makes
a claim with his insurance company too!

The tow truck company produces dashcam
evidence that proves this man was trying
to stage an accident to collect insurance
money.  

The use of dashcam technology cleared
the tow truck company of any negligence.

wow, it's starting to sound like something
out of a movie.......

Tow truck companies should consider using dashcam
technology to protect their employees and
protect their business.

It's not personal.  It's business.
