Navigating through blizzards, floodwaters, and treacherous roads, the unsung heroes of towing and recovery don't just keep our highways safe—they keep our lives moving. We kick off our chat by tipping our hats to these resilient operators, sharing vital survival tips that can make all the difference during those relentless shifts. Our hearts also go out to those grappling with the silent battle of prostate cancer, a personal struggle for many in our community. We reminisce on the humble beginnings and transformative journey of a beloved family construction business, appreciating the roots that ground us in times of change.

The conversation takes an intriguing turn as we welcome Jared Varnado to the microphone, the third-generation visionary steering Varnado Sons Towing & Recovery. He's not just a towing titan; he's at the forefront of the Towing Association TRPL, fighting for the recognition and fair treatment this hardy industry deserves. Together, we wade through the murky waters of towing permits and public service regulations, shining a light on the challenges and championing the efforts of associations to streamline these processes for the good of all. It's a candid discussion that doesn't just reveal the inner workings of the towing world—it underscores the strength found in unity and persistence.
