Falling Asleep at the Wheel

Are you getting ready for a summer 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).

It Can Wait. Powerful Message.

It Can Wait.

until you can pull off to the side of the road

until you get home

until you park your car 

If you're driving, the phone call can wait.

Distracted driver awareness is an important message.

Tow truck operators get to the see the other side of the story - the

unnecessary tragedy, pain and suffering of the injured and

sometimes death.

So next time the phone rings while you're driving, remember

It can wait.

In Celebration of Earth Day

Earth Day turns 49 today!

On April 22, 1970, 20 million people across the country demonstrated

in support of saving the environment.  Since then, Americans have

become environmentally conscious and there have been great strides in

reducing waste and pollution, but much more still needs to be done.

How's your carbon footprint doing?

We can all do a little bit more to make a big difference.

Move Over for First Responders

I was reminded again yesterday.........as I saw blaring lights off in a distance,

 I quickly MOVED OVER, remembering that Tow Trucks are

First Responders.

More attention needs to be given to the

MOVE OVER Law, so we get it and it
becomes second nature to get out of the way, just as
we would for a police car, fire truck or ambulance.

by impeding your visual ability to drive!  Oh yes you are!

HOW TO CHANGE YOUR WIPER BLADES

It really doesn't seem all that difficult and of

course your can have jiffylube replace your
