Did you know, tow truck drivers are first responders like police, fire and EMS? And did you know, being a tow truck driver is the deadliest profession in the U.S.? On average, one tow truck driver is killed every 6 days. In the Dillard's parking lot at Rimrock Mall the community comes together to remind commuters to slow down when they see flashing lights on the side of the road.

JOLIET, Mont. - If you've traveled down Highway 212 you may have noticed a truck watching you from the side of the road. Have you ever wondered how the 'Mater' in Joliet cam to be?
