The Volusia County Professional Firefighters Association Road Ranger hit while removing debris from roadway. 125 EI4, one Trauma Alert to 704. THE ROAD RANGERS ARE A HUGE ASSET TO US when it comes to safety of our crews and motorists on the highway. PAY ATTENTION AND MOVE OVER !

That's NICE!

Hoping this topic blows up as we have a trailer that could be used for this purpose. Even if it is only justified once or a month right now.

They let these criminals out with little or no bond and then wonder why they disappear. Bonds need to be appropriate for the crime and bounty hunters need to have an incentive to round them up. The police are too short staffed now, although sometimes they get lucky on a traffic stop. Cannot seek them out anymore and they may get shot or have to shoot. The law is messed up!

Has there been a follow up? I see these reports and though it has been a couple of weeks since I have had time to go through the topics. I would think someone has a follow up to the one...

Did we miss the Big News?

This person drove his current employers truck into our lot and asked if we were hiring. If they are seeking a change on the current company dime then they will do the same. What are your thoughts on this subject and does this happen in your business?

Early on in the company I always heard my parents say when someone asked if they are hiring. The response was "We are always hiring" even if there wasn't a position open. We get so few asking the question anymore, one of the office staff told a person who walked in and asked if we were hiring. "No we are not hiring at this time". I spoke up "We are always hiring", here is a application. I was told You need to keep a bench, far to many companies are seeking to fill positions when they turned away several applicants over a few month period. We don't start from scratch each time we have a position to fill. More and more employees are changing employment than ever. Also, we are starting to see more job seeker that have been out of the workforce for months if not a couple of years. Will they make a good employee or are they Lazy. I am going to say they became discouraged and need an opportunity. Why not put them through the interview process, if they are serious you'll know it. We also considering putting our application on our website rather then filling out a paper. This is paper thing is sorta getting old these days. What are some alternatives to the old paper application your company is using and do you see many resumes? Those applying for a Mechanic position have a resume, Wrecker Drivers rarely do. When we get a Tow Truck Operator in the door they more than likely have a resume.

How tragic and just 20 years old. RIP

I would like to place my order for 3 of these shirts. L, XL and 4XL cause I got a friend that always says it's hard to find his size. You got my address, send me a paypal Invoice when you can I get money today. That shouldn't be funny, but it's the way it is. Thanks for the supporter discount, always glad to help.

Who would bid under $129 are they for real and who takes a police ordered contract for that kind of money these days.

I concur with Moose, more owner participation in the Owners Den would spark more participation. I also agree with TowZone in that there has to be a method to control access and funds are needed. Proud to be a TowForce Supporter, Keep up the good work. Trying to get in here every chance I get.

Welcome Stephanie, I was not here when you were on Tow411. Good to see you found your way back, it gets in your blood.

Thank you for keeping the memory of DANCO DAN updated by adding more details.

Condolences to the Reynolds Family. Dad bought a Danco maybe 20 years ago. The bed is out in the back lot someplace. No, it's not for sale at this time.

Welcome, I get in here and catch up 2 or 3 times a week. Looks Like I need to be more active, summers are busy for us and we down a driver again.

Today is National Ice Cream Day. I want one of those cones!

That Bill was much too high, may be I should start a YouTube Channel if it pays that well. Then again I would imagine it take time and devotion the get it to that stage.

It's likely one of those long forgotten laws that simply have never been taken off the books. Until some inspector decides to drag it out. It happens!

That is something to think about, I could use the exercise. Although, that is an electric bike and I really don't see enough use for it around here. Possibly in a more urban location it would be an interesting addition to a service vehicle. Kinda makes one look like a bike patrol Officer. I need more info, he should do a YouTube video explaining it more.

Welcome to TowForce!

Mom, doesn't get on Social Media other then to maybe follow family on Facebook. That's only when she gets a call to look at it. If there were more women posting in here I might be able to get her to get an account and log in. Who are the women in the group or is it a network...

In this topic I want to tell you about a new employee that didn't listen. We start out employees with one week of vacation after the first year. This employee was explained the benefits when he was hired. After 90 days he came in and wanted to take his first weeks vacation. Needless to say he was not happy and quit cause he wanted time off. That was fine cause he didn't listen half of the time anyway. By the way had he asked for a week off without pay and provided a valid reason, we do that during the first year or any year. Preferably only once and only one employee at a time. Two employees can't decide to go hunting the same day. Unless they take me with them. Just Kidding, we are short staffed, I got a truck to drive and runs to make. So, in addition what if any vacation does your company offer. We are at One Week After the First Year. Two Weeks after the Third Year and Three Weeks after the Fifth. One employee has been in the shop 12 years Dad gives him 4 weeks. That's not disclosed but I'd say anyone that makes it 10 years gets it. What do you offer, What do you get? Now that I think about it, I have not had a vacation all year.

To lose ones life at any age is tragic. Do we know if this is the oldest to lose ones life performing a roadside service? Thoughts & Prayers to the Family, Friends and all that knew Anthony Okozi... Had hopes it would be a very long time before another Tower Down.

Feels like it has been Summer since the First of June. The official start of summer kicks off in the Northern Hemisphere today (June 21), marking the longest day of the year. This is what I found, along with the image: The June solstice will occur at 11:32 p.m. EDT (0332 June 21 GMT), when the sun reaches the point at which it is farthest north of the celestial equator. Reaching its highest and northernmost point in the sky, the sun must travel its longest path, meaning it will take longer to rise and to set, which is why today marks the longest day — or longest period of sunlight hours — and shortest night.
