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.

STORY HERE

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.
