Amazing How A LIttle Weather Can Change Things

. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

I read story after story of complaints by the public about towing fees, corrupt wrecker companies, unfeeling tow companies and the like. Some are true, but the vast majority of towing operators HELP the public and at great risk. Those perceptions are quickly removed at the onset of dangerous winter precipitation.

I saw an article (link below) about a towing company that is fielding so many dangerous weather calls that they only have time to respond to the police calls. Basically they are working non stop in the risky weather and are critical to the public.

I have said it time and time again. The public loves the benefit provided when it is convenient but quickly forgets in normal daily life. I guess it is just human nature.

City Council Working WITH The Towing Company

I saw an interesting story about a cooperative relationship between the city government and the towing companies in Cleveland. Rather than just let things go to chance or caving in when the public complains, the city council is working WITH the #towing company to decide fair rates.

Granted, the rates are not as low as the city wants or as high as a company wants BUT it keeps good contractors from walking away due to costs and protects the public. The amount of conflict and complaints this will prevent is immeasurable and would be a great model for other cities.

Slow Down and Move Over For Towing and Wrecker Drivers

 With all the warning signs, injuries, and casualties involved with To

wman you think the public would know to slow their vehicle down and move to the other lane when they see a tow truck. Well they don't.

Give tow truck drivers and wrecker drivers a break

 In an article from 9wsyr.com there were over 11,000 recorded violations of the Slow Down Move Over rule in the State of New York. I know there are always people you cannot reach, but that number seems outrageously high

I guess the answer is more education and constant reminders to the public of how dangerous it is for tow truck drivers on the road
