This is the VERY reason why the towing association has pushed for so many years to have wrecker operators included in the Move Over Law. The pain that this drivers family is having to endure. These individuals go out 24/7 to assist persons in need; whether it be a tire change, an accident or just a broke down vehicle. The reputible companies that pride themselves in being up on safety & professionalism do this everyday & yet there are persons out there that want to talk crap about these unappreciated individuals. Yes, there are those NON reputible companies that thrive on tow aways & gouging the public but that is the owner of the company not its employees. This driver was probably at home with his family enjoying the warmth & a nice dinner; to get called out in the cold & rain to do a tire change that probably generated about $30. in revenue. So very sad. My heart goes out to the driver's family.
