Tow Truck Drivers

[James Zicrov]

How do tow truck drivers handle stressful situations?

Always ... "Calm heads prevail", whether on-scene working difficult recoveries, or, coming face-to-face with some lunatic vehicle owners during repo's and PPI's.

 

Too many towers are guilty of getting over-aggressive, taunting, swearing or challenging to fight. And, in some incidents, they bring a handgun into the mix where tempers "stair step" causing situations to turn deadly. On the Internet is a 20-something minute video of the on-site homicide in Florida that occurred when a simple business transaction turned violent. In what was said to be a simple transaction, it turned violent leaving one injured, another dead and both owner's being charged with multiple business crimes.

 

Because the link is horrendously long, simple Google the words, "Grady Judd Polk County Florida Tow truck homicide" and play the video. This is a must see video where Polk County (Florida) Sheriff Gray Judd explains the incident in easy to remember terms. There's also a message to tow companies that operate illegally or conduct predator towing practices.     R.
