Towing the line: Move over or Slow Down!

Local Talent: Local Business - Episode 26 “You don’t know what that operator’s been through that day”. When you see a tow truck operator at a pit stop, you don’t know if he’s come from rescuing a small dog locked in a car or if he’s been at the scene of a five car pile-up with multiple fatalities. On this episode of the Local Business podcast, host Jason chats with Schertz business owner and tow truck operator Geoffrey Nienstedt. Geoff tells Jason how he left school early and got into the tow truck industry. He gives an insider’s point of view of the business, telling Jason about the pay and commission that tow truck operators receive and what he’s learned since he became a business owner. They discuss the reform that Geoff is trying to push through local government with a group of grassroots lobbyists that would increase the fine for drivers who ignore the state’s Slow Down or Move Over law. Geoff also highlights a growing problem in the tow trucking industry—a lack of operators. Listen to the episode to find out what that could mean from your local community.
