Slow Down, Move over.

This is probably the most important topic we will cover. In this episode, the 2 Legal Hookers are joined by Art Kilgore from M&C Towing in Klamath Falls. Art lost his best friend Spencer Hughes who was struck on the job 7/29/2022. He talks about Spencer and how important SDMO is to him and our industry after having been struck by a vehicle himself. We are also joined by Jacobe Smith. Jake currently operates a service truck but has light and heavy tow experience. He too has been struck on the job and was almost struck a second time. Our third guest is Towtruck_Dustin who has been towing for 5 years and fortunately has only had close calls. Dead Leg Media is our 4th guest and our lighting expert and former LEO. He gives us some valuable insight into the technology available to us in the way of lighting and his perspective as former law enforcement.
