Thousands of Flooded Cars from Louisiana

The Great Flood of 2016 has yielded upwards of 50,000 damaged cars, this on top of
the heart wrenching personal stories of survival and loss.  


Tow truck companies are pulling flood damaged vehicles out
of Louisiana and into Moss Point Mississippi.  Here the cars will be
seen by insurance adjusters, although it's predicted
99.9% of the vehicles will be categorized as a total loss.

The governor of Louisiana made a declaration that these flood total loss 
vehicles have to have a certificate of destruction, so only parts
can be sold.

National Dog Day

Friday, August 26th is
National Dog Day

A day set aside for us to recognize and appreciate the dogs in
our lives.  It's a day of honoring for the dogs that bring so 
much love and companionship into our lives.

It's also a day that brings awareness to the homeless
animal shelters around the country.  

Maybe you've been thinking of bringing a dog into
your family; getting that nudge that something is
missing.........and you're right!  

Give an extra special hug to your dog today!

Philly Tow Scam

Come on now guys............this has got to stop!  In this age of technology
everything is becoming transparent, people are watching and recording.....
and placing videos on youtube for the world to see!

Seems there's a tow truck company in South Philly that has a scam
going on; it's hard to argue when there's actual video footage of the scam going on.  
People are fighting back.

Seems to be a "movable No Parking sign" that this company uses
to bait drivers into a parking spot.  Someone parks their car, the tow company plops 
down a No Parking Sign and then tows away the car.

Seems it's been going on for awhile and there's a guy in an
apartment overlooking this scam location and well he's been keeping tabs.


This stuff reflects on the towing industry.  We can't let one rotten apple
spoil the barrel.  This scam company should be held responsible for
their actions.


Brighter days ahead!

Beware of Live Grenades!


This story out of Kansas, Mo.
Illegally parked vehicle was being prepped for
towing when someone noticed a 
grenade in the vehicle.

An explosives team was called in and sure
enough, it was a live grenade. 

Tow truck drivers need to be on the lookout
for attack dogs or people who refuse to leave
their vehicles..................and now grenades!
 
We're not in Kansas anymore, most certainly not the 
Kansas we loved as children in the Wizard of Oz!

Tennessee Tow Show

Are you going to the 100th Year Celebration
of the Towing and Recovery Industry.....


September 8 - 10, 2016

Miller Industries Towing Equipment is 
sponsoring the 100 year anniversary
of the "Holmes" tow truck.

The towing and recovery industry owes it's 100 year
celebration to Ernest Holmes, who in 1916 in Chattanooga
built the first tow truck by attaching a rigging system
to a Cadillac, marking the birth of the towing and
recovery industry.

Move Over, We Have to Keep Talking About This



Another senseless death, tow truck operator David Duchnik Jr,
29 years old from Lackawanna County, PA. 

He was assisting at a crash scene on Interstate 81 when
he was hit by a vehicle and died from his injuries.

"Tow Truck operators play just as important a role as do police,
firefighters and ambulance personnel, but many motorists
don't seem to take what we do as seriously", said
Ed Cardiello, owner of Ed's Towing in Mount Pocono.

Keep Your Pet Safe in the Heat

We love our pets and they love us!
So let's be sure to take care of them this summer.
Heat and humidity are sweltering for us and them!

It takes approximately 30 minutes for a dog
to become overheated and possibly a fatal situation
in a closed car - which becomes an oven, reaching
temps above 115 degrees.

Please, please.........should you lock your keys in
your car take immediate action.  If you call
George's Custom Towing, be sure to tell us of your
situation so we may get to you as quickly as possible.
We have pets too and love them just like you do.

Here are some quick summer dog safety tips:
- Do not walk your dog on hot asphalt............ooh, hurts their
little feet.
- Do not shave your dog, they get sunburns too!
-Check your dog for ticks
-Provide plenty of water

Does your dog have heat stroke?
Any signs of nausea/vomiting, dehydration, loss of
consciousness, stumbling, heavy panting, bright red tongue
or brain damage...............please rush to the Vet!

First Responders Save Kitten!

Story out of Corbin, KY...................

Corbin Firefighters and a local towing company joined forces to rescue
a kitten trapped in an engine compartment of a car.  Story Here

While looking for a video on youtube of this rescue effort I came
across so many heartwarming stories from across the
country.

I had absolutely no idea that this was such a prevalent occurrence. 

WARNING
BE ALERT!
If you hear meow, meow........
please take a look under your vehicle hood or
even in your exhaust pipe!

This kitten was stuck in the walls of a home!

For a few feel good moments checkout other animal rescue
videos on youtube!  Makes a heart feel good!

August, Here We Come

Did you know it was "National Simplify Your Life Week"..........and today is
also Watermelon Day!

Think of simplifying your life as a spring cleaning, which can be done
at anytime of year.  
Remove clutter, get organized.

.......and remove chatter, stay focused!  
We can get pulled in so many directions when we don't 
allow ourselves to say NO!
You don't always need to say no, but you do need to keep 
your priorities straight so that you can have time to 
enjoy your life!

Free up time for your own dreams! 


 ooh, cool down with some juicy watermelon in
honor of watermelon day (who makes this stuff up)

In truth watermelon is great for those hot summer days.

Be kind to our tow truck drivers..........you know it's hot
outside and our guys work really hard all year round
to provide the very best in service.  

A slice of watermelon goes a long way........
