In Remembrance of Donnie Cruse who would have turned 75 years today. Seems like just the other day Donnie spoke to me but in fact it was now more than 18 years ago, only 18 months into Tow411. I believe Donnie would have been a Mentor if not a Friend. However, he was taken from us far too soon. I would like to see the topic become a recognition of the life of Donnie Cruse. Please reply with your WreckMaster Number and Memories of Donnie from those who knew him. I realize we have many that never met Donnie and even fewer that actually knew Donnie. Those who were fortunate enough to really spend time with the man will understand.

Here is another one just pulled off a FB Post.

However, Do Not Become Complacent and fall into a false sense of security because the traffic volume is much lower than normal. There are just as many stranded drivers on the roadways. Truckers are being pushed, Drinking & Drugs are on the menu when Alcoholics find the bars closed and the liquor stores open. Social gatherings are still occurring in small groups. Some of which include drugs, then there often on the roadway. It only takes that one distracted driver and a tow operator to let their guard down. This occurs went not follow procedures which have been followed for months. Officers are not responding to many runs, that does not mean they will not respond to a tow operator in the highway or interstate. Since this does not involve social contact you my very well get them when otherwise you would have to wait. Use Common Sense! Use Gloves on everything, use surgical gloves inside your work gloves. If you haven't to this point, how is the time to start. This virus has not yet peaked and while you may believe you cannot be that sick. Do Not Take This Home with disregard. I have heard from several drivers that had to leave the company they worked for either on their own or were fired. The Driver Pool will be Huge when this is over and the best companies will be the ones that either had a plan in place prior to or when this began. Don't Stick Your Head in the Sand....
