The Tow Industry Knows How to Save Lives. Why Aren’t We Acting?

Veteran safety trainer and former police officer Randall Resch is sounding the alarm, pointing to a fatal roadside incident in California. The tragedy might have been prevented with one proven, affordable tool: a Variable Message Sign (VMS) that clearly warns oncoming traffic to slow down and move over.

Resch urges the towing industry, regulators, and lawmakers to stop overlooking this life-saving recommendation—especially when studies show VMS systems make drivers 95% more likely to move over.

“If the benefit is so evident,” he asks, “why aren’t they required?”

Read what he has to say on this topic.

Study Identifies Top Lighting Practices for Roadside Vehicles

What’s the best way to keep roadside workers safe at night? A new AAA Foundation study says fewer, smarter lights make a big difference. Two to four high-mounted amber or green lights, flashing in alternating patterns, are easier for drivers to see—without causing dangerous glare.

Towman Downed on I-287, NJ

We are saddened to share the passing of Daniel “DJ” Ortiz, a 24-year-old tow truck operator from Hopatcong, who was struck and killed while assisting a disabled vehicle on the shoulder of I-287.

DJ was doing his job when a driver failed to slow down and move over.

Ron & Sons Towing remembers him as one of the kindest and most caring people they’ve ever known.

$7.1M Verdict Against KC Tow Company

A Kansas City woman won a $7.1 million lawsuit against Haney’s Trucking and Tow after her food truck was illegally towed and held for nearly two years. A jury awarded her the massive sum after hearing how the company towed her vehicle from an unmarked, vacant lot—without following Missouri law—and then tried to transfer ownership. The company has since shut down, changed names, and gone dark.
