When safety laws exist but aren't enforced, what's the real value of having them? This pressing question emerges during our enlightening conversation with Jared Varnado, fourth-generation tower and president of the Towing and Recovery Professionals of Louisiana.The harsh reality facing roadside workers becomes clear as Jared reveals disturbing statistics – only 56 Move Over citations issued in his area this year despite multiple industry workers being struck on roadsides. This enforcement gap represents a widespread problem facing first responders nationwide, where laws exist on paper but offer little real-world protection to those working vulnerable roadside positions.Louisiana towers face additional challenges with crushing insurance costs reaching $40,000-$70,000 per truck annually, driven largely by predatory lawsuit practices and insurance companies that find settlement cheaper than defense. These astronomical premiums, combined with regulated non-consensual towing rates, create a nearly impossible business environment where companies cannot pass costs to consumers through appropriate rate adjustments.Yet amid these challenges, signs of adaptation and progress emerge. The state association has strategically partnered with Traxero for paperwork processing, freeing resources for advocacy work. Jared's company demonstrates forward-thinking investment with a new twin-steer 50-ton rotator and refurbished 25-ton truck, positioning themselves for expanded opportunities as Baton Rouge police shift to a rotation system after 20 years of single-company service.Throughout our conversation runs a consistent thread – the critical importance of ongoing training in an evolving industry. With vehicles and equipment changing rapidly, even experienced operators need regular education to maintain safety and effectiveness. The upcoming ATRI training sessions in Lake Charles this November represent the industry's commitment to professionalism despite difficult circumstances.What challenges does your towing operation face with road safety enforcement?

"The impression you leave on people is far more important than what you get from them." This powerful philosophy, passed down from father to son, forms the bedrock of Jim's Towing success story. In this inaugural episode of our multi-generational towing family series, we're joined by Jim Conroy and his son William, representing the second and third generations of their family business.From their humble beginnings in 1986 to their current impressive operation spanning three locations (with a fourth on the way) near Charleston, South Carolina, the Conroy family shares how their customer-first approach has built a thriving enterprise with 36 trucks serving communities and even the Naval Weapons Station.Jim reveals how taking over from his father in 2018 taught him invaluable lessons about the business side of towing that he'd never fully appreciated before. Meanwhile, William brings a fresh perspective while honoring the traditions established by his grandfather and father, having literally grown up in the industry – even "towing" his first vehicle at age three and taking a rotator certification class by age six!What makes this conversation particularly meaningful is the focus on values rather than just technical expertise. When customers are having their worst day with a broken-down vehicle and unexpected expenses, the Conroys emphasize patience, respect, and understanding. As Jim explains, "We're not in a very affluential part of Charleston, so it's best for our community that we're not extremely expensive." This community-minded perspective exemplifies why family-owned towing operations remain the backbone of the industry.The episode also touches on the importance of family-oriented industry events and training, with both generations expressing appreciation for opportunities that welcome children and spouses to tow shows, helping foster the next generation's interest in this vital profession.Subscribe to the Towing News Channel, available on Spotify, iTunes, Pandora, Stitcher, iHeartMedia, or wherever you get your podcasts, and join us for more inspiring stories from the towing and recovery industry.

Ultimate Guide to Towing Jeeps Safely: Straps, Trailers, and Pro Tips! Welcome to the ultimate guide on towing Jeeps and vehicles safely!

The future of towing fleet safety has arrived, and it's smarter than you might expect. Tim Smith, Senior Fleet Solution Specialist at Azuga, joins the Tow Professional Podcast to unveil game-changing technology that's revolutionizing how towing companies protect their drivers, vehicles, and bottom line.At the center of this revolution is Azuga's new SafetyCam Pro system, designed specifically for towing operations with support for up to four auxiliary cameras that can monitor every angle of a tow truck. The AI capabilities are nothing short of remarkable – detecting when drivers text, eat, or even start falling asleep. "If you're starting to fall asleep, the speakers inside will start blaring and say, 'Hey, pull over, pull over, you're asleep,'" Smith explains, highlighting how this technology goes beyond simply recording incidents to actively preventing them.The integration with Coast fuel cards adds another layer of protection for tow company owners. These specialized Visa cards can be programmed to allow only specific purchases, and they work with GPS tracking to prevent a common industry problem – drivers filling personal vehicles on company time. "If they pull up to a gas pump and pull their wife's car right beside where theirs is and turn around and fill up their wife's vehicle with gas, the card actually knows it's not being pumped into the vehicle that's supposed to be filled up and it'll shut down the card," Smith reveals.Perhaps most valuable to towing companies is how these technologies impact insurance costs. Beyond potential premium discounts, the real savings come from reducing claims and fighting fraudulent ones. Azuga's accident reconstruction capabilities overlay video footage with detailed data on speed, G-forces, and more, giving companies powerful evidence when disputes arise. Combined with their Driver Rewards Program that incentivizes safe behavior rather than punishing mistakes, it's a comprehensive approach to fleet safety that addresses the industry's biggest challenges.Want to see these innovations firsthand? Visit Tim Smith at the American Towman Show in Dallas or contact him directly at tims@azuga.com or 205-728-9135 to learn how these technologies can transform your towing operation.

The dangers facing tow truck operators and the evolving strategies to protect them take center stage in this eye-opening episode of Towing News. We explore multiple tragic incidents, including a Kentucky case where a truck driver has been indicted for murder after allegedly watching YouTube videos before fatally striking tow operator Troy Caldwell. The driver now faces serious charges including evidence tampering and has a warrant out for his arrest after missing court appearances.Our coverage extends globally with news of a devastating Mother's Day accident in South Africa that claimed nine lives when a tow truck rear-ended a vehicle carrying church members. These incidents underscore the critical importance of attentive driving and the vulnerability of roadside workers.We also examine innovative enforcement approaches in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where authorities are tackling disruptive "X-Train" mobile parties through a new towing ordinance. This strategy allows police to immediately impound vehicles without court orders, imposing $300 fees on owners and creating a streamlined system for handling repeat offenders. The approach represents a significant shift from previous enforcement methods that often left officers outnumbered and unable to effectively disperse these gatherings.The consequences of impaired driving are highlighted through the sentencing of Jason Guerin to 4-12 years for a crash that severely injured both a state trooper and tow truck driver in Malta, New York. We also provide practical hazmat response guidance from expert Perry Beatty, covering essential equipment requirements for towing professionals responding to accidents involving hazardous materials. His emphasis on being "combat ready" offers valuable insight for industry professionals seeking to improve their emergency response capabilities.Listen now to understand the challenges facing the towing industry and the evolving strategies being implemented to protect workers and communities. Share your thoughts on these developments and let us know what safety measures you believe would most effectively protect roadside workers.

A lot of RVers like to take another vehicle along on their RVing adventures. And one way to do that is to flat tow the vehicle behind the RV.So a tow bar is needed to attach the RV to the vehicle. But which tow bar is best to use? This podcast covers the top 3 tow bars that I recommend for successful flat towing!Here are the links for the tow bars recommended in this podcast:* Roadmaster Nighthawk - https://www.etrailer.com/Tow-Bar/Roadmaster/RM-676.html?etam=a0035*Blue Ox Alpha 2 - https://www.etrailer.com/Tow-Bar/Blue-Ox/BX7380.html?etam=a0035*Demco Dominator - https://www.etrailer.com/Tow-Bar/Demco/DM9511008.html?etam=a0035Here are the links for my past videos about flat towing:* The Top 3 Things You Will Need For Successful RV Flat Towing - https://youtu.be/sdT8Re08MDQ* The Top 5 RV Flat Tow Vehicle Braking Systems - Which One Is Right For You? - https://youtu.be/SZ1zIVjY-Hc* My Top 5 RV Towing Tips For Flat Towing And Dolly Towing - https://youtu.be/yZRqKpQhgw0* The Latest List Of Vehicles For Flat Towing Behind An RV - https://youtu.be/F0eIWtpVX9Y

Roadside dangers take center stage in this sobering exploration of the hazards facing tow truck operators worldwide. The deadly toll becomes immediately apparent as we uncover the shocking pattern of violence in Durban, South Africa, where three drivers have been killed in suspected drive-by shootings this year alone, highlighting an alarming trend that authorities have yet to address effectively.The regulatory landscape for towing services is evolving rapidly across multiple continents. Ghana's mandatory towing subscription program represents an innovative approach to clearing highways of abandoned vehicles while avoiding monopolistic concerns that plagued previous attempts. Meanwhile, Australia has expanded its protective slow-down laws to shield tow truck operators and roadside workers, imposing substantial fines on drivers who fail to reduce speed when passing these vulnerable professionals.American towing companies face both tragedy and controversy. We examine the heartbreaking case of Rico Funches, who lost his life when his tow truck plunged into a pond following a multi-vehicle collision in Mississippi. In Kansas City, a different battle unfolds as authorities crack down on predatory towing practices, seizing vehicles and bringing charges against operators accused of illegal activities. The towing industry's pushback against what they consider excessive regulation reveals the complex balance between consumer protection and reasonable oversight.Perhaps most poignant is the survival story of Florida tow truck driver John Umara, who suffered severe injuries when struck while working roadside. His impassioned plea for drivers to "move over, slow down" serves as both a reminder of the risks these essential workers face daily and a call to action for all motorists. Whether you're a towing professional, a concerned citizen, or a policy maker, this comprehensive examination of the industry's challenges demands your attention and underscores the urgent need for enhanced safety measures worldwide.Share your thoughts on how we can better protect these roadside heroes.

Veteran tower Jared Innis pulls back the curtain on the economic realities of the towing industry in this eye-opening conversation about survival in a challenging business landscape. With 31 years of experience and as president of the Missouri Tow Truck Association, Ennis offers a frank assessment of the issues threatening towing companies across America.The financial mathematics of towing simply don't add up for many operators. When insurance companies cap towing reimbursements at $5,000 while actual recovery costs for major truck accidents often exceed $50,000, who absorbs that difference? Innis reveals a startling statistic: between 30-40% of towed commercial vehicles are never reclaimed, leaving towing companies holding worthless damaged equipment after providing essential public safety services."We're seeing they have cargo only and liability on the truck and trailer, and we're getting trashed trucks and trailers," Innis explains. "It's become more of a challenge because you're getting paid for basically a third of the bill and getting stuck with junk."The conversation shifts to the legislative battles being fought in Missouri, where proposed regulations threaten to create a towing recovery review committee with just one tower among seven members who would have authority over billing disputes. Even more concerning, a provision would allow customers who dispute a bill to retrieve their vehicle without payment, effectively eliminating the tower's ability to secure compensation for services rendered.Locally, Kansas City faces its own crisis following allegations of "predatory towing" that have prompted reactionary ordinances. Jackson County's proposed regulations would charge towing companies $1,000 plus $250 per truck for licensing—ten times what surrounding counties charge—while implementing a punishment structure where a single violation by one driver could potentially shut down an entire company.Whether you're in the towing industry or simply rely on these essential services, this conversation offers valuable perspective on the challenges facing the businesses we count on to keep our roadways clear and safe.

Jerry Barbour opens up about the remarkable transformation of the Towing Recovery Professionals of North Carolina (TRPNC) and their upcoming Mid-Atlantic Tow Show. As a third-generation tower whose family has been in the business since 1955, Jerry brings decades of hands-on experience to his role as association president, carrying forward the momentum built by his predecessor Kerry Fogg.The conversation reveals how TRPNC has evolved from a small gathering to a major industry event, now boasting their largest and most responsive board ever. Jerry emphasizes their mission to support towers beyond just business growth: "We're looking to better this industry, to bring up the new generation, understanding that you need to be part of an association instead of just being a lone wolf out there with no support or backing behind you."Their flagship event, the 2025 Mid-Atlantic Tow Show (September 4-6), has expanded dramatically to feature over 70 vendors and nearly 1,000 attendees. The upcoming show will offer an impressive lineup of certified training opportunities including EV response classes from Allstate, hazmat recertification with Perry Abatey, TIMS certification, and professional dispatch training with Mike Porter. Beyond education, the event features networking activities and the increasingly competitive Show and Shine truck competition, now rivaling major national contests.Jerry also addresses current regulatory challenges facing North Carolina towers, particularly around booting and predatory towing legislation. His pragmatic approach acknowledges the need for some regulation while advocating for fairness: "We understand regulations have got to be had, but we just want it to be fair for everybody."What makes association shows like this truly special is where the proceeds go - directly back into training, legislative advocacy, and initiatives that make roads safer for tow professionals. It's this reinvestment that builds not just better businesses, but a stronger brotherhood ready to support each other in times of need.Ready to join the towing community that's making real change happen? Contact TRPNC at 919-921-8194 or trpnc@nctowing.org and mark your calendar for September 4-6!

Tragedy struck the towing industry multiple times in recent weeks as three tow operators lost their lives while performing roadside assistance. These deaths underscore the critical importance of Move Over laws that many drivers continue to ignore despite the fatal consequences.From the heartbreaking stories of Ken Sopasto in Florida and Richard Rodriguez in New York—both killed while working roadside—to the harrowing account of an Oklahoma City tower who narrowly escaped death when his quick-thinking colleague pulled him from a burning truck, this episode explores the very real dangers towing professionals face daily. As one veteran tower put it, "You can wear all the fluorescent you want, have all the fancy flashing lights, have all the trucks behind you. All it takes is that one person not to pay attention."Beyond safety concerns, the episode delves into troubling legal issues plaguing the industry. In Kansas City, a mother-son duo faces 18 felony charges for allegedly conducting illegal tows, falsifying documents, and harassing vehicle owners. Meanwhile, in Australia, a woman received a shocking $5,000 bill for a routine tow—a predatory practice exploiting regulatory loopholes. The violence directed at towing operators continues as well, with three tow trucks mysteriously set ablaze overnight in Brampton, Ontario.It's not all grim news, however, as Montana recently passed legislation giving towing vehicles preference in roundabouts, acknowledging the unique challenges these vehicles face. The American Towing Recovery Institute also announced numerous upcoming training opportunities across the country, including specialized sessions for handling electric vehicles through their new EV Clever app.As we wrap each episode, the message becomes increasingly urgent: stay on the passenger side of your truck, remain vigilant, and prioritize safety above all else. The towing industry shouldn't have to count more fallen colleagues simply because drivers can't be bothered to move over or slow down. Have you witnessed drivers ignoring Move Over laws? What will it take to change this deadly behavior?

Wes Wilburn welcomes listeners to a deeply meaningful episode featuring a crucial conversation with Matt Milazzo, senior manager at the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Born and raised in Staten Island with a family dedicated to public service, Matt shares how the foundation's mission to eradicate veteran homelessness resonates with his personal values and professional aspirations.The heart of this episode centers on the foundation's innovative approach to combating veteran homelessness through strategically located Veterans Villages—renovated hotels transformed into supportive housing communities. Matt explains their two-pronged strategy: providing immediate housing through these villages while simultaneously addressing the root causes of homelessness through personalized support services. Since late 2022, they've already helped over 10,000 veterans transition off the streets. These villages aren't just shelters; they're comprehensive rehabilitation centers strategically positioned near VA facilities to ensure ongoing medical support.A critical need emerges during their discussion—transportation. The foundation urgently requires wheelchair-accessible passenger vans to transport veterans to medical appointments and other essential services. This presents a unique opportunity for the towing and recovery industry to make a tangible difference. Wes passionately calls on listeners to donate suitable vans or salvageable accessibility equipment, pledging his personal assistance in coordinating transportation to wherever the foundation needs these vehicles nationwide. Beyond vehicle donations, Matt details additional ways to support their mission, including their symbolic $11 monthly donation program and various fundraising opportunities.The episode concludes with Towing News Now, highlighting recent industry developments including Chicago's efforts to combat predatory towing practices, controversial vehicle removal operations in California, and sobering reminders of the dangers tow operators face. These stories underscore why initiatives like the Tunnel to Towers partnership matter—they demonstrate how an industry often misunderstood by the public can be a powerful force for good in communities across America.Ready to make a difference? Contact the Tunnel to Towers Foundation at 718-987-1931 or visit t2t.org to learn how you can support their mission to ensure no veteran remains homeless.

The Southern California Trojans had an awesome winter Transfer Portal. Running back Eli Sanders, defensive tackles Keeshawn Silver and Jamaal Jarrett, and safety Biship Fitzgerald are some of the key additions.

Lane Kiffin continued to recruit two prep quarterbacks – Landon Duckworth & Rydor Lyons – who could sign with the Ole Miss Rebels. I met with Duckworth after his Elite 11 performance to discuss his official visit schedule and where Ole Miss stands; I explain why I like Ole Miss's chances and a funny story Duckworth told me about Kiffin.On April 2, Lyons began an Ole Miss unofficial visit before making two more trips to Ohio State and Michigan. Locked On Ole Miss host Steven Willis and I discuss how Lyons fits into the Ole Miss recruiting equation, including his NIL situation. It's a really unique set of circumstances.Finally, we discuss a few SEC teams that may not win the SEC this season, but they could be the spoilers to keep other SEC programs from reaching Atlanta for the SEC title game.

The Oregon Ducks are often accused of landing top high school football recruits because of their high-level name, image, and likeness funding. Is NIL truly the reason Dan Lanning and the Ducks are a recruiting powerhouse? I explain why that's not the No. 1 reason for the Ducks having football recruiting success.Oregon also does well in the Transfer Portal each year, but will the Big 10 champions go all-in with the spring transfer window?
