Thoughts and prayers. 

My heart goes out to all involved. Depress sympathies. 

I’ve been driving a tow truck since 1977. I don’t do repo work. I’ve never carried a gun but own several. At one time I was a reserve police officer for 5 years and carried while assisting the local police. Now I find myself in more and more dangerous situations. Just last Saturday at 2:00am I towed a vehicle and customer in for a simple collision with an animal (cow).  After taking him to a motel, waking the owner, and getting him a room, he insisted I drop his vehicle in the parking lot— without payment. Not happening. Very tense situation. Law enforcement was at least 30 minutes away. I was finally able to convince the customer the vehicle would be safe with me and left with it. I just completed the CCW class and will probably spend more time carrying a weapon —- for self protection only

Thoughts and prayers. 

I too agree with what Steve said. I’m just 63, but have a plan in place to retire in 3 years. Each time the phone rings you head out the door confidant you will get the job done. Then on scene you’re constantly watching your back .

Very sorry for the loss of another great man. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. 

Wishing a speedy recovery. 

Very sad. Mr Tasker was just doing his job.  Now his family has to deal with his loss. My heart goes out to them. 

That’s terrible. Our thoughts and prayers. 

Very sad. Thoughts and prayers. 

I’m speechless. It just wrong. Condolences to his family. 

Very sad. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. 

Very tragic. Thoughts and prayers

Great job. Greater love hath no man than to risk his life for another. 

Thoughts and prayers to his family. We are responsible for our own safety. Even then, sometimes we fail. Plan the safest procedures and then abort the plan of it gets too dangerous 

Very sad. Thoughts and prayers. 

Very disturbing. It appears the tow operator was doing everything right and some idiot took him out. I hope and pray the driver makes a full recovery. And when they catch the person responsible for this tragedy, they need to be locked away for a long time. 

Very tragic. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. 

I hope the tow operator makes a full recovery. Once again he “ entered the shoulder striking the driver”. Why? Not only did he refuse to move over, but appears to have aimed his vehicle at the tow truck and operator. To me that makes it attempted murder, not negligence. If prosecuted as such , others might decide to follow the law. 

Thoughts and prayers go out to his family
