The company that markets these HD Dollies never returned my dad's calls. He said the Hell with Em and is working on fabricating his own in our shop.

The new owner of this property came into the office, provided recent property documentation, and paid for the removal of this vehicle. You are dispatched to the location and you find this vehicle in the yard. The door to the property is open, are you going inside to look around?

Welcome to TowForce

Welcome to TowForce

Still dropping in from time to time. So much activity, I must get on here more often.

Sending this driver good wishes for a speedy recovery. It's going to be a very long time before he will be able to work again.

Yes, Glad You Are Okay. That could have taken a life, our employees are required to wear seat belts regardless of what company vehicle they are in. If we catch a belt latched behind the back it can result in a loss of hours or even termination. We go over this continuously and still we have one that has tried us in the past.

So many lessons to be learned in relation to this tragic event. The hazard of a blind curve was enhanced by the minimal space at the end of that gore. This called for traffic control which I assume was not requested. Our truck would have been behind the disabled vehicle until some form of traffic control arrives. Our drivers are told over and over to request assistance rather than put themselves in danger. Law Enforcement will respond to our location in such situations it may take a little time. Because the majority of other companies tell their drivers to just go ahead and get it rather than wait for backup. In my opinion, they are negligent for putting their drivers in harm's way. Any thoughts and how would you have instructed your driver to have dealt with this type of situation? I find most companies do not have a plan and have never held a safety meeting. Insurance companies should require these types of safety procedures to be documented. We document everything and hope we never have to present that documentation.

That was very informative. Thanks

Sad to see that another tow op has been struck and killed by a distracted driver. Hope see is charged at the very least with failure to slow down and move over.

Seems to be an ongoing problem that just gets worse. At those wages no wonder they can't get anyone to work. Most of our drivers are averaging over $20 an hour these days. I didn't even know they have government employees and equipment. I thought they used contract services/companies like most of the country.

Our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and all who knew Bob. Dad said he had met him once many years again.

Checking In, not logging in as often as I would like to. We're just so busy, I hope everyone else is killing it as well.

Sounds like my Mom and Dad. That's why Dad spends more and more time in the shop.

Ron, are these all of the TowForce Patrons or just the ones that have responded?

Yes, the different types of equipment and i corrected that to Poland. A tow came in as I was typing and I had to run out. No drivers on and i got the phones.

WELCOME IN, show us some of your work in Poland. I like the look of the equipment.

Yep, still here trying to catch up on all the new posts while being on call.

Is that 2 now in the last 30 days? Guess we just never know when we could be confronted with a weapon.

The number of intoxicated drivers is just as high as ever. Although, it had gone down for a couple of years due to covid and few bars open.

That's terrible, but thankfully this does not result in another name on the wall.

Any follow up on this drivers condition and recovery?

We have not heard or reached out to Questx in a couple of years. We did get our last payment, still waiting on Agero, only been 2 years. Good thing it was not a HUGE amount.

Any Updates on the Drivers Condition and Recovery?

Happy New Year! I just Leveled Up to Patron III, I challenge all participating on TowForce to Level Up! YES, I see the same old long time contributors, because they are the most active... If you are new here then I encourage you to add a supporter level. I've contributed.
