    Tow Truck Drivers

    Ok I have been reading on a web site: tow411, I am shocked at all the tow truck drivers that have been injured and killed. However from my research I have found that the Move Over Law in Oregon dose not include Tow Trucks in the law. I think some one needs to get out and see what we go thrue every day out there on the street. I have worked for Ray's Towing in Eugene, F&M Towing in Springfield, and now I am working for Cascade West Towing in Oakridge. I have worked Down Town, on the Freeway and now Highway 58. Acording to the American Tow Truck Association We have lost an avarage of 60 Tow Truck Drivers a year, the same as in the Law Enforcement feild. It looks like not many from around here however our profesion is extremly dangerous and needs to be reconized. I hope that you will look into this for me. Thank you for your time.

    Hey, I did not get to the story air however I did see it on the web site. You guys are the best! I figured that I wouldn't see anything about this for weeks not hours. I apriciate what you did. Only if there was a way to help out and get us on the law. I will try to write on here and keepyou up to date on how a day in the life of a tow truck driver is. Right now I am looking to get back with the best company in town. Thank you again. It is nice to see that we can be seen as more than just jerks taking cars away.. Thanks again.
