Don't forget to MOVE OVER

 Here we go into the holiday RUSH and we understand, 
we're out Christmas shopping too!  But since we're in the tow truck business we wanted to remind you once again that
we have FAMILY, we have FRIENDS, we have CO-WORKERS, we have BELOVED PETS.........
and we all want to arrive safely home!  

So, please MOVE OVER if you see us on the road 
trying to help someone in need. 
We're just doing our job.

Steer Clear
or Move Over
Just Do It!

Ok, so it is a little confusing when the industry has been 
using the term Move Over and now all of a sudden
I'm seeing Steer Clear........but the deal is, they're
one in the same and that is what is important.



You've got to Move Over - It Saves Lives!

Keep Your Eyes on the Road - Calls Kill

Calls Kill............some pretty powerful words from the 
National Safety Council.  In 2016, 40,000 people died on the roads.
It's time for everyone to take personal action
and responsibility.


From the National Safety Council, 
the three biggest causes of fatalities on the road are caused by:

1.  Alcohol - 30.8%
2.  Speeding - 30%
3.  Distracted Driving - 26%

We simply cannot multi-task while driving and that includes
hands free talking on the phone.

Start making a difference today on the road.

Take it slow as you go!




The Holidays are Here
People are driving like crazy; going through red lights, taking chances -
putting you and me at risk.  This is a weekly reminder post - 
SLOW DOWN and MOVE OVER.

The law states if you see a tow truck driver on the shoulder, 
you must move into an open lane away from the tow truck 
or slow down to a safe speed.

This is the same law protecting first responders; police, 
emergency vehicles and now tow trucks.

As we approach the holiday season let's all be more aware
on the road.

Let's keep it safe for 
Tow Truck Operators and all first responders

Happy Birthday Mickey!

Mickey Mouse that is!  
This week there's a celebration going on for Mickey!  

He's one of the most recognizable faces in the world,
and he turns 89 years old this month.

Mickey's birthday is November 18, 1928, the date
when "Steamboat Willie" premiered.

Originally creator Walt Disney wanted to name him
Mortimer, but his wife, Lillian, convinced him
that Mickey was a better choice.

Some of Mickey's movements and mannerisms were
said to be inspired by Charlie Chaplin's character
the Tramp.

Disney himself voiced Mickey Mouse from 1929-1946.

During World War II, Mickey's image was used to
advertise war bonds.

Mickey was the first cartoon character to receive a star
on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Just a few fun facts about Mickey Mouse to lighten your
morning!

If you're not having a great start to the day.........and your
car won't start, give us a call for a jump!

ice off!  Try the methods outlined in this video.

Defensive Driving Tactics

Are you getting ready for a winter holiday 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).

Car won't start?

oooh, it's a bit on the chilly side this morning!  Your car is feeling it too.........
don't get caught with a car that won't start in the cold weather.

Plug it in, plug it in!  Get yourself an electric block heater for your engine
 that you plug in over night. Keeps the oil warm and the battery charged,
 so your car starts in the morning!

You can also plug in a pair of electric gloves or socks,
right into a USB port on your computer or using 
the USB connector in your car.

Wild stuff!

Should you need an early morning jump start
be sure to call us:

Time to Winterize Your Vehicle

Preparing for Winter Driving 

How to Drive in Snow and Ice

The three key elements to safe winter driving are:
  • Stay alert; 
  • Slow down; and 
  • Stay in control

It is best to winterize your vehicle before winter strikes.  
Schedule a maintenance check-up for the vehicle’s tires and tire pressure, 
battery, belts and hoses, radiator, oil, lights, brakes, exhaust system, 
heater/defroster, wipers and ignition system. Keep your gas tank 
sufficiently full – at least half a tank is recommended. Depending upon 
where you drive, you may consider using winter tires or tire chains.
