Can safety and advocacy transform the towing industry? Join me, DJ Harrington, and my esteemed co-host Wes Wilburn, as we unravel the complexities of pressing issues facing our industry today. We start with a heavy heart, discussing the tragic death of Spencer Keegan and the subsequent lenient sentencing of Peyton Ferris. This poignant discussion underscores the significance of advocacy, exemplified by the Towing and Recovery Association of America's victory in exempting our industry from the FTC's junk fee rule.

Our journey continues with a focus on pivotal policy changes impacting our industry. We encourage you to gear up for the TRA Legislative Action Workshop and Hill Day, where the power to influence Congress is in your hands. Stay informed about Paccar's significant recall affecting Peterbilt and Kenworth trucks. We also shed light on the struggles faced by Connecticut towing operators over insurance issues and how diesel truck sales legislation in states like California, Massachusetts, and New Jersey may reshape the industry landscape.

Together, we explore the growing importance of interdisciplinary training in emergency response. From electric vehicles to complex accident scenarios, our recent joint training session in South Carolina highlights the necessity of realistic drills for fire rescue and towing operations. With exciting plans for 2025, including a revamped alternate fuel program and a new podcast schedule, we express heartfelt gratitude to our audience of over 16,000 listeners. Join us in welcoming the new year with optimism and commitment to excellence in towing and recovery.
