Presented in the interest of safety for all wrecker operators.
The danger from an automobile does not cease when it is
disabled or wrecked. Recovering and towing automobiles can
be dangerous, too! The danger threatens wrecker operators
and everyone close at hand. As a wrecker operator you must
develop an awareness of the hazards involved. You must use
every safeguard within reason to prevent injuries.

we know about. Learn them well.
