Another selfish drunk who thinks NOTHING about anyone else has killed a man. Another tow brother. I pray for our lost brother operators family. I know this pain all too well. as of the 19th of this month will be 18 years since i lost my father in the same manner. Another life taken by a drunk. May he rest in peace with the love and memories of those he left behind.

Sorrow and Sadness are overwhelming. Not the time to ask, but I want to know how did they get a 22 year old on their insurance. Reaching Insurance companies now and every one I talk to now say 24 minimum. If immediate family anywhere from 19 to 23, One company said it's depending on how many years the company has been in business.

I didnt realize that myself untill you said that. My insurance is STRICT. 24 years old only. even my own son cant work for me legally till he is 24. hes 18 now n knows how to drive and operate better than most local operators around here. we are a small 2 man operation so maybe that has something to do with it. I dont know.
