There is a saying I’ve been touting around the shop here lately, that says don’t groove on everything online or Internet. More over the supposed fan page of those who dig tow trucks.
A person gets in this industry on three levels, one as an owner/operator, like myself. That has pride in my ability to render service at times of despair to motorists of all kinds. From Long haul truckers to just a lady in an SUV going to the store. Of course being independent I can reduce my hourly rate, to suit the customer. Ones you know can pay or has insurance coverage, standard rate, even mine is lower than most motor clubs. Less for those who buy food on food stamps. Hey they will remember you when they need you again.
But I ‘m getting away from the point.
Another way someone gets into the industry as a driver. Collects a pay check, goes home at a given time except for call outs in a real emergency, but to them it’s a job.
Then there are the drivers, who aspire to be career toewing professionals that is the person I like to hang around with. People who take pride in this industry. And treasure older trucks and people who have been in the industry for years. One’s that remember when the industry had what we call Toew Bro’s and were there to help with advice. Or who remember the efforts that many of us have busted our butts to improve the image and all the industry and profession, and get upset when the new comers just want to tare down what we have been working so long to fix.
Of course then , comes a time to clean out the Facebook friends list and pages one follows , just simply that no matter what you do, it ain’t going to help, your getting ignored and simply because you know there is no real common ground.
So I went in, delisted or unfriended a ton of so called friends, unliked , I Love Tow Trucks, and so who cares?
On ours here , called Highway Hookers is a page that is for the real small number of trucks, of one or two man tow services that are more rural, or at least not very urban toewing professionals, that still run older rigs, pay through the nose for most things, but who have pride in what we do.
That’s why there is and has been since 1988 an organization that remains part of the Knytes-of-Anarchy called, The Rode Knytes Association of the Mountain West. And why there is this Facebook group called the Highway Hookers yes co named after my other small company running out of West-Point and Emmett Idaho. Highway Hooker Toewing. While Dixie Toewing still is us here in Twin Falls, Burley and Rigby Idaho.
Justly its good that there is HazzardAyre to keep YOU informed, and why we are the ones taking to the air, both region wide on our own radio network, and going XM/Sirius in 2014 with a toew channel there.
But somebody not willing to do something simple in redoing a prayer for us in towing , by just taking out the W word. Naw that ain’t for me, I got too much pride in my profession and industry to start slyding back.
Ain’t going to do that. Sorry Jay and BR, but it only takes one or two bits of manure in the holding tank to sour the milk.
L8R Ya’ll am back in bed,.
