Troy’s Law / Justice For Troy

09/29/2025

Tow op down - Floyd Crespo of Rahn's Wrecker Service , Georgia, was struck and killed in a roadside accident while completing a trailer lift. According to Rahn's Wrecker Service, he was standing at his control compartment rolling in the cables when the truck he had just recovered went down to the roundabout and turned around and attempted to turn back into the parking lot side swiping the wrecker and pinning him. "He had over 20 years of experience in the towing industry and was one of the hardest working team members we have ever had."

🚨 ATTENTION TOW COMPANIES & OPERATORS 🚨

This is bigger than one man. This is about ALL of us.

On Thursday, September 25, we’re holding a Rolling Memorial in honor of Troy Caldwell a good friend, coworker, and brother in our industry whose life was taken on I-64 when a semi failed to move over.

Troy’s story could have been any of ours. Any tow operator. Any day. That’s why Troy’s Law matters. That’s why Slow Down, Move Over matters. And that’s why we need every truck and every company represented.

We show up for funeral processions. We park our trucks and pay our respects when one of our own is laid to rest. But this? This is just as important — if not more. This is about making sure fewer funerals have to happen. This is about demanding change so our brothers and sisters in this industry make it home at the end of their shifts.

Yes, we all have calls. Yes, we all stay busy. But this day is about something greater than business. It’s about protecting lives, changing laws, and showing Kentucky that the towing industry stands shoulder to shoulder. If we don’t show up for each other, WHO WILL?

📅 When: Thursday, September 25
Eagle travel center Exit: 133 I-64
3333 Ky Highway 801 N Morehead, KY 40351

⏰ Meet Time: 4:00 pm

📍 Route: We will pull out about 4:50 pm onto I-64 where he was killed we will park on the shoulder until about 5:30 pm in his memory with our lights on.

🚛 Who: EVERY tow company. EVERY operator. ANY First Responders, No excuses.

Frankfort has been responding. Support has been growing. But laws don’t change and awareness doesn’t spread unless we rise up and make it impossible to ignore.

Let’s roll deep. Let’s make it loud. Let’s make it clear:
SLOW DOWN. MOVE OVER. TROY’S LAW.

Drop a comment if you’re in, and tag your company or fellow operators. This is for Troy. This is for our industry. This is for the lives we’re still fighting to protect.

Safety first – Towing advocates push for blue lights at Kentucky Capitol. "I think it’s an important piece of legislation to save lives,” said Rep. Richard White, co-sponsor of a bill to allow tow trucks to use blue lights under certain circumstances. https://buff.ly/azrj6wp. Bubba's Towing & Recovery

Justice for Troy — Troy’s Law

We are proud to announce that we are working hand in hand with Bubba's Towing & Recovery, Bubba Johnson, and several other towing companies and operators to push this movement forward. Together, we are committed to making Troy’s Law a reality.

We hope that Troy Caldwell’s life meant far more than what has been shown so far. We hope he did not die for nothing. If something good can come from his death — if it can help protect others in this industry — then his sacrifice will carry an even greater meaning.

Troy gave his life for this industry. He loved towing more than anything, and it was his priority above all else.

Over the past year, we have been honored to fight for change in Troy’s name and to seek justice for his tragic loss. But this movement needs all of us. Please, don’t miss your chance to be part of something bigger than any one person — something that can protect lives and shape the future of our industry.

For Troy. For justice. For every operator working the white line.

A missed opportunity has led to a situation that is both striking and disconcerting. Despite having a clear chance to enact Troy's Law in Kentucky, which would have significantly improved safety, the state chose to disregard concerns. Instead, the focus was on passing legislation that serves the financial interests against the towing industry, and benefit insurance companies. The decision to prioritize financial gain over the safety of roadside workers is deeply troubling. Governor Andy Beshear is in a position to easily implement Troy's Law and sign it into law. Hopefully, he will take this step and ensure Kentucky doesn't remain the last state indifferent to the welfare of the towing industry and its hardworking personnel who risk their lives daily.

Safe roads – Iowa tow op says roads are safer after 2023 law allowed DOT-certified tow trucks to use red and blue flashing lights on scene. "People associate it more with fire, EMS, police and actually respect it more." https://buff.ly/iKE2YOx
