Irish Iron was a valued and Reputable Sponsor. I saw a few months back were they were selling their facility. Looks like they may have a new website, I guess that means Dwayne is still in business. Guess I need to contact him again soon.

Looking back I did meet up with most of those on the list. This was a really fasted paced show and the hours could have been just a little longer. Maybe 11 to 5 both days. Maybe next year I can figure out how to bring the Meet & Greet back. Even if it is down on or near Freemont Street. Yeah, I have looked into it and it is possible.

Someone said this would be there first time in Vegas.

What is the best way to get around, should we rent a car.

 

Now, I will say we have contemplated renting a vehicle. However, the cost of the vehicle exceeds the cost of other transportation unless you plan to venture out further. There are Free Shuttles and Public Transportation. There are Plenty of Uber Drivers except during Peak Times. Watch Out for those as they creep up on you and the cost goes way up. Then there is a Monorail which is probably the best way to get from the Hotel to the Strip. For those staying at Hotels other then the Host Hotel this may be how you want to travel to the convention center. Now that I have said all that, here is a recent YouTube added 9.15.22 "ENJOY... We will see you in Vegas and if not we will have coverage along the way.

 

Las Vegas LV Monorail ride, stops and information

 

I forgot all about this show, someone really needs to stay on these Roll Calls.

A little late for a Tow Show Roll Call. I was not even aware Montana has a Tow Show this year. I suppose I am really out of the loop as I have seen nothing about the show until today 9/16/22. That's right the first day of the show, If I had then there would have been a proper Roll Call. My apologizes to our valued Montana Members.

Hit-and-run killed NCDOT employee cleaning up debris on side of road in Wilson County

 

This story while not a Tow Operator is yet another Roadside Worker who lost their life because a driver did not Move Over.

 

 

 

 

WILSON, N.C. (WTVD) -- A North Carolina Department of Transportation employee was hit and killed on the side of the road Friday.

 

It happened in Wilson County along US 264 Alternate.

 

NCDOT said Anna Bradshaw was cleaning up debris along the shoulder of the highway when a vehicle crashed into her. After the collision, the driver of the vehicle drove off.

 

NC State Highway Patrol is investigating the fatal hit-and-run crash. ABC11 has reached out for more details about the case.

 

An NCDOT spokesperson described Bradshaw as "dedicated" and "hard-working." They said she had been working for the agency for 11 years.

 

Bradshaw's death comes just hours after NCDOT teamed up with State Highway Patrol to release a video reminding drivers to move over when they pass stopped emergency vehicles.

 

A few weeks ago SHP Trooper Joseph Atwell was hit by a drunken driver while on the side of a Wake County highway.

 

In North Carolina, it is required by law for all drivers to slow down and move over, when possible, when they see emergency vehicles on the side of any road.

 

Prior to this incident this story was published:

 

NCDOT, highway patrol stress move over law

 

Two state first responder professions are facing the same, major problem, according to a news release.

 

The Move Over Law requires drivers to change lanes when passing a stopped emergency vehicle with flashing lights. But drivers aren’t always adhering to the law, and that can cause life-altering situations.

 

“It’s just sad, because it’s totally preventable.” N.C. State Highway Patrol Trooper Joseph Atwell said.

 

You have to move over, if you are unable to move over because of the traffic conditions you have to significantly reduce your speed.

 

Roger Hawkins, an N.C. Department of Transportation safety patrolman, said “this is a thing we deal with every day.”

 

“You have to keep your eyes peeled all the time,” Hawkins said.

 

Atwell and Hawkins agree drivers do not follow the law often. Both careers put them on the side of an interstate week after week with vehicles whizzing by.

 

“Vehicles are more than likely our No. 1 threat here on the highway patrol... there’s no excuse and it’s something I’ve dealt with personally,” Atwell said.

 

This summer, both Hawkins and Atwell encountered drivers not moving over.

 

Hawkins was on Interstate 40 in Pender County assisting a truck driver with a flat tire. When the job was complete, he thought all went well, and he got back in vehicle.

 

“I looked in my mirror and I saw this car coming at a high rate of speed and it ran just right in the back of me,” he said. “If you see lights, don’t think just because they’re yellow they don’t mean anything.”

 

The crash caused Hawkins’ driver seat to break, and he was looking at the ceiling. Luckily, his brakes and seatbelt were on and he survived. Hawkins was back to work in a matter of days.

 

Atwell said when he pulls a driver over, “if we’re anywhere near an interstate, I will attempt to do a passenger side approach so that if something does happen, I’ll be on the passenger side of that vehicle – away from any danger.”

 

A few weeks ago, the Trooper was assisting deputies with a suspected drunk driver on a Wake County highway.

 

“I was walking around my vehicle – I was going to get in the driver’s side,” Atwell said. “The sheriff’s deputy stopped and asked me one question and it stopped me just long enough to pause and then that vehicle hit [my car]. If he hadn’t have asked me that question – that would’ve been my body.”

 

It was another suspected drunk driver who failed to move over.

 

Together, NCDOT and NCSHP have a simple message: move over.

 

Hawkins said, “so you can slow down and take your time, not only for your life, but everyone else’s life that’s around you too. Because almost all of us have family too.”

 

“If you just look up and quit texting and driving, quit drinking and driving — just move over – all this could’ve been avoidable,” Atwell added.

With all the recent floods I just wanted to bring this topic back as a warning not to enter flood waters.

 

I assure you that vehicle is not worth your life. If you need to save a life then make sure you have the proper training to do so or it could be your life. Emergency Personnel will have everything they need to conduct a water recovery, you likely do not.

Once again the Owners Den is a Supporter Level Forum. We have found those who are vested in and support our efforts participate more then those who do not. On a side note the Drivers Lounge does not require a supporter level membership. Although, it is intended for Employee Drivers Only.

 

Thanks and we hope those with pending Owners Den Authorizations take a moment and review the supporter levels.

Today 08.02.22 Positive Change will be introduced on the floor of the Senate.

 

National Slow Down/Move Over Recognition could receive the funding that programs such as Buckle Up/Seat Belt Safety Programs use to spread the word. I know many have wondered why with a Emergency Personnel Struck By Death every 6 to 7 days there have been none of the same programs. This is why and this could all change TODAY.

 

Add Your Thoughts & Best Wishes Here

Flagman Inc. and Cindy Iodice:

 

We Stand With You Aug. 2, 2022. TowForce Thanks You for all you do... and I am sure all the towing industry does too.

 

Securing these federal funds to spread the word like the Seat Belt Awareness Campaigns have successfully secured for numerous years will be a huge success. It would be hard to imagine any of the Senators would not Vote for this Bi-Partisan Bill. May the TowForce be with you.

 

It only takes a few seconds and no driver should have to wear the darn things 24/7.

 

Well, for those that wear the proper PPE shirts. Keep your shirts on....

Yes, Cuss Me if you want... Sadly, I ran the numbers and posted this on the 26th at 8:52pm. On the 27th at 12:05 am a Tow Truck Operator lost his life. Many after hearing of the death assumed the driver had been struck and killed. However, this death was a different hazard facing those in our industry. A Code Red does not discriminate, it means the odds are HIGH a Tower will be Killed. The manner of that Death can and will vary.

 

Now, I write this because the Threat Level continues and the possibility of another death looms. Preach Safety and be Safe out there throughout the weekend. May the TowForce be with you, cause you may just be the key to prevent another death.
