There is one day a year that each tow company owner dreads and that is the day they renew their insurance policy. We discuss how it's gotten to this ugly place and what we can all do to help control both personal and industry-wide costs.

We start the show with a discussion about the Florida Tow Show and its new venue.

We ended up cutting so much content out of our Recruiting and Retaining episode that Part 2 pretty much made itself. There is a lot of good info for employees hidden between the lines. Do you want to move up in your company listen to what the owners are looking for.

We've all heard about the driver shortage in the Transportation Industry but it gets even worse when those drivers need a very specialized toolbox full of skills like a Tow Operator. We discuss the national job boards like Indeed and Tow Recruiter as well as what we ourselves have found to work well. Are you looking to replace employees who have left or are you looking because of growth? You better know the difference. When was the last time you weren't looking for that next A player?
