Beware of Potholes

Seems that Spokane, WA has a problem with potholes.
So much so that these potholes are causing major damage to tires and
vehicles, most times requiring the assistance of a tow truck to get yourself
out of a tough spot.




These are some mighty big potholes...........more
like craters opening up in the earth. 

What can you do?  Be aware, keep your eye on the road. If
you need to go around a pothole use extreme caution.

Can a pothole become a sinkhole?

 Keep it safe out there!

Distracted Driving



Just the other day a friend was in an accident, his fault.  He was at a light and texting on his phone
and he's not exactly sure what happened but the next thing he knew
he had rolled and smashed into the car in front of him.  The front end of his truck which was hauling a trailer was  demolished.  The car in front of him, well the driver didn't even have a license and
of course no insurance.

and then of course there's the hands free problem too.........
When I put the key into the ignition on my relatively new vehicle the very next thing
that happens is that my car links up with my cell phone.  This is bluetooth technology, something
that until very recently was foreign to me....ok, so I'm a little behind the times.

Hands Free, Not Risk Free

The buttons to answer the phone, hang up the phone and control the volume are
on my steering wheel.  It didn't take me long to realize that accessing these buttons
could be hazardous.  Well, anytime that you're mentally distracted or remove your eyes
from the road, let's face it you're distracted.

Of course AAA has done a report about this, here is the article:


For me, I have to say that there are many times I don't answer the phone
while driving, even with hands free capabilities. 

 Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
Use common sense while on the road for your safety and the safety of others.

Keeping you safe on the road.

Participate in Random Acts of Kindness 2/17/17

In the tow truck business we get to perform random acts of kindness
throughout our daily travels. 

Here's a list of some simple ways you can extend kindness........and you're
probably already doing it!

50 Fun Random Acts of Kindness Week Ideas:

1. Pay it Backward: buy coffee for the person behind you in line.
2. Compliment the first three people you talk to today.
3. Send a positive text message to five different people right now.
4. Post inspirational sticky notes around your neighborhood, office, school, etc.
5. Tell someone they dropped a dollar (even though they didn’t). Then give them a dollar.
6. Donate old towels or blankets to an animal shelter.
7. Say hi to the person next to you on the elevator.
8. Surprise a neighbor with freshly baked cookies or treats!
9. Let someone go in front of you in line who only has a few items.
10. Leave a gas gift card at a gas pump.
11. Throw a party to celebrate someone just for being who they are, which is awesome.
12. Have a LinkedIn account? Write a recommendation for coworker or connection.
13. Leave quarters at the laundromat.
14. Encounter someone in customer service who is especially kind? Take an extra five minutes to tell their manager.
15. Leave unused coupons next to corresponding products in the grocery store.
16. Leave a note on someone’s car telling them how awesome they parked.
17. Try to make sure every person in a group conversation feels included.
18. Write a kind message on your mirror with a dry erase marker for yourself, your significant other or a family member.
19. Place a positive body image notes in jean pockets at a department store.
20. Smile at five strangers.
21. Set an alarm on your phone to go off at three different times during the day. In those moments, do something kind for someone else.
22. Send a gratitude email to a coworker who deserves more recognition.
23. Practice self-kindness and spend 30 minutes doing something you love today.
24. Give away stuff for free on Craig’s List.
25. Write a gratitude list in the morning and again in the evening.
26. Know parents who could use a night out? Offer to babysit for free.
27. Hold up positive signs for traffic or in a park for people exercising outside!
28. Return shopping carts for people at the grocery store.
29. Buy a plant. Put it in a terracotta pot. Write positive words that describe a friend on the pot. Give it to that friend!
30. Write a positive comment on your favorite blog, website, or a friend’s social media account.
31. Have a clean up party at a beach or park.
32. While you’re out, compliment a parent on how well-behaved their child is.
33. Leave a kind server the biggest tip you can afford.
34. When you’re throwing something away on the street, pick up any litter around you and put that in the trash too.
35. Pay the toll for the person behind you.
36. Put 50 paper hearts in a box. On each cutout write something that is special about your partner or a friend. Give them the box and tell them to pull out a heart anytime they need a pick-me-up.
37. Everyone is important. Learn the names of your office security guard, the person at the front desk and other people you see every day. Greet them by name. Also say “hello” to strangers and smile. These acts of kindness are so easy, and they almost always make people smile.
38. Write your partner a list of things you love about them.
39. Purchase extra dog or cat food and bring it to an animal shelter.
40. Find opportunities to give compliments. It costs nothing, takes no time, and could make someone’s entire day. Don’t just think it. Say it.
41. Take flowers or treats to the nurses’ station at your nearest hospital.
42. Keep an extra umbrella at work, so you can lend it out when it rains.
43. Send a ‘Thank you’ card or note to the officers at your local police or fire station.
44. Take muffins or cookies to your local librarians.
45. Run an errand for a family member who is busy.
46. Leave a box of goodies in your mailbox for your mail carrier.
47. Tape coins around a playground for kids to find.
48. Put your phone away while in the company of others.
49. Email or write to a former teacher who made a difference in your life.
50. When you hear that discouraging voice in your head, tell yourself something positive — you deserve kindness too!

We could all use a little kindness sometimes

BMW Stuck in Snowy Ditch


I picture says a 1,000 words!  Oh my...........what's wrong here, perhaps the tractor.


The moral of the story:  Maybe this driver should have called a professional towing service 
with the necessary expertise and knowledge to pull his car out.

Perhaps a little winch-out service would have done the trick..........now the poor guy has 
got a bit of a front end disaster to deal with. 


We provide professional winch-out services, so call us
if you get stuck.

TBT: Restitution Revisited

TBT:  This post originally appeared 2/9/16
********

When people refuse to follow laws - laws that are meant to protect,
than justice must take the reigns.

Such was the case with Steven Dolan who was convicted of
homicide by negligent operation of a vehicle.  

You see Steven Dolan struck and killed Nate Walsh, a tow truck driver who
was on the shoulder of the highway tending to a disabled vehicle.

The Judge sentenced Steven Dolan to five years probation, 
$11,309 in restitution costs and a staggered jail term.
Steven is to spend two weeks in jail on the anniversary
of the fatal crash for the next five years, this
will serve to remind him of the life he took.

Philly Towing Law Now In Effect


Philly Towing Law Now in Effect
This is not good..........for the people.
For towing companies.
For the police department.

Wow, what are the powers that be thinking in Philly?


The Law is this:  
Vehicles must now be ticketed by police
before they can be towed from privately owned lots
In real time this means:
Several tow trucks waited 2 hours in a
private parking lot for police to come.

So..........people are now going to get hit with a ticket + towing
charge?  Double whammy!

Tow truck companies will suffer loss of business if they need to
sit around in private parking lots waiting for the police.

I'm sure that the police department has many crimes to solve and
don't have time to be running around to private lots all over the
city handing out tickets.

So, who benefits........who gets a piece of the pie?  
The City of course.  



There is the possibility that this new law will be the deterrent for
people to do the right thing and not illegally park.  Or this new law
could in fact put tow truck companies in danger.  What are they suppose
to do, block a car until the police come?  Not good.

We're just trying to provide a service.

I revived this post once again because I'm infuriated at
stupidity!  I'm so tired of reading negative articles about tow truck companies.
I'm sure there are some rotten apples, but not the majority of companies.
You have car trouble and we provide a service and yes, there is a fee.
Depending on the situation different fees would apply.  It's really a 
simple business transaction.

There is nothing that makes you feel more vulnerable than getting in your 
car and it won't start.  You're stranded, so you call a tow truck company.
Why not be IN GRATITUDE that there is a service that will
come to you, wherever you are 24/7 and get you and
your vehicle to safety.

Be in Gratitude!
