QRS Towing Annapolis, MD T-shirt size XL 27 year operator. Thanks for all you do to keep this site going.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery from MD. Hopefully she gets charged with something.

I say we all work together and shut entire highways down whenever one of us has to pick a car up on the highway. Or say any roadway where the speed limit is above 35mph. Maybe they will notice we are tired of being killed and none of them caring if we jam up traffic for a couple weeks whenever a car needs to be loaded.

Since police don't want to respond to block for us or give out tickets for people who don't slow down or move over, and juries apparently don't want to punish people who kill operators, I say all companies work together and when one of us get a call on the highway we block every lane and shut it down until the vehicle is loaded. Then we slowly reopen the highway. Maybe then they will realize that we are tired of being killed at a rate 3-4 higher than police and firefighters. It took forever to get legislation passed for the SDMO movement. It seems like it's taking even longer for it to actually make a difference in our working conditions. It is abhorrent that this women got found not guilty for killing a man with her reckless driving. I don't know what the speed limit is on that road but I can pretty much guarantee that 93mph was exceeding it by at least 23mph. What a waste of the judicial process.

We are losing operators at a rate 3-4 times as often as police and fire. That is from a report I read from 10 years ago though so I'm not sure of the current stats.
