Thanks Bob for the kind words. We work very hard leading up to these classes to make sure everything is top notch, from the instructors down to the food.

 

I personally want to thank Gordon Curtis, Pam- his fiancee, and the entire staff at Curtis's Wrecker Service for doing everything that was asked and well beyond to make this a good experience for all the students.

 

Also, I would like to thank Howard "Scooby" Eagan, Jeff Martin "Diamond Towing", Bill Leonhauser "Penndel", Jamie Dougherty"Janeway Towing" and Ron "BIG RED" Pullin for doing outstanding instruction. When you have over 160 years of experience at a job scene and setting up these scenarios, you can't ask for more. My staff deserves a big round of applause, they worked around the clock to pull this together.

 

Finally, after it's all said and done if I can gauge how good the class was by how tired I am, then it was a huge success and if you missed it, there is no other class with this amount of information or instruction on the uses of airbags and cushions and I hope you consider next year if you are using or considering using airbags and cushions. Thanks again to everyone- I'm going back to bed

Any one that is considering the purchase of Air Cushions or uses them this course is a MUST HAVE. You will be amazed at what was accomplished.

sorry it has taken awhile to get something up, didn't get home until Monday night, then on out to Syracuse, in which we have been pretty busy.

I would like to thank all that attended, it was definitely a great class and I think we all had fun.

A thumbs up to Gorden Curtis and Wes along with the rest of the crew for the fine hospitality.


I have thrown up a few pics of a job the team did Friday Afternoon. We are in the middle of putting together a new instructional DVD to go along with the bags to keep up with the times. This trailer had the roof torn open, along with it being split in various places. And yes it was loaded. In fact some had come out of the roof in which we had to jam back in. As always, we like to prove a point, and that is wasting 5 hours in the heat running all those silly straps is....well tiring, hot, sweaty, and did I say exhausting???... lol, anyways, the team bagged it and used the landing cushions. We did not belly chain it due to the fact of showing how good the landing cushions work at softening the landing.

In addition to the instructional team of Big Truck Rescue, I would like to thank the following students:

Bob Miller (tigger), Ron Pullin from Big Red Towing, and Jamie Dougherty of Janeway Towing. These guys where paid students in the class that where hanging around Friday while we where doing this upright, and they voluntarily jumped in to give us a hand.....I just wanted to say thank you AGAIN, for doing so, as you surely didn't have to but it was very much appreciated
