I do hotshot work out of Manitowoc WI so I’m not far from you. Can’t blame you for wanting to move to FL as you mentioned. Fighting the cold simply burns a guy out. Thanks for the videos.

Man that sucks about the equipment. Is there a way you could possibly use some paracord and say make a form of Tether? Those cheap aluminum carabiner and a few well tied knots? Or when I ran a tow shop here in the frozen shithole of duluth I used to have drivers loose equipment all the time. And I'm guilty of it too. Perhaps a low tech solution could be a note somewhere you absolutely have to look at it. Stating. Tools video bag go pro's or whatnot. It worked wonders on our service trucks. And the tow units were gloves chains lights tools. Worked for us. Distractions are spendy. Great vids love that flying brick

I'd love to work for your company if I was a driver because y'all seem to come down to these parts quite a bit. Ouch on losing them go pros and cards.. That's not going to be a cheap replacement. When you get up to around Houston, you can find a Best Buy fairly easily especially in La Porte or any of the burbs around our city,

OK, im alright with a short trip. I understand there is a huge investment in time and resources to make these videos happen, not to mention the regular everyday bull shit that comes with trucking, especially up north during the winter. I went up there and froze my buttocks off more times than I care to remember. Hang in there Steve. Im sure your mother told you there would be days like these. Take heart my friend. We all love you and we are cheering you on here in SW Middle Tennessee.

You took the worst route to McAllen. the better route is hwy 359 to 285 Falfurias, then 281 all the way to McAllen. Less traffic and plenty of truck stops along the way.
