Re: Tow Operators and Valid Driver Licenses?

[rreschran]

This post is in-response to the North Dakota fatality where a flatbed carrier was struck; alleging the carrier was left in live lanes and alleging the tow operator had a suspended driver's license.

 

In January’s, Tow Industry Week, I partially covered the topic of having a suspended license.

 

For tow business owners and the company’s management team, what steps do you take to ensure your tow operators are driving on a current driver’s license? Because tow vehicle operations and the actions of your tow operators are under heavy "vicarious liability", just going by the tow operator’s word that their license isn’t suspended is risky business. This fatality scenario is a solid reason to know that your towers are licensed and current.   R.
