According to the National Highway Traffic Administration, there are 5.25 million vehicle accidents every year with over 43,000 of them in the United States alone.  Someone has got to get those cars and trucks off the road before even more vehicles end up involved in the pile-up.

Vehicles break down too.

Last year, AAA rescued more than 32,000 stranded motorists who were broke down.  Someone has got to get them off the road too.

And then there’s the car buyer who doesn’t see the need to make his (or her) payments.  Roughly 2.2 million vehicles are repossessed annually.

Someone has got to deal with all the vehicles that need to be moved due to an accident, car trouble, or non-payment.  They make a nice chunk of change doing it.  Why not let that someone be you?  Here’s how to put your Flatbed Truck to good use.  Oh, and if you [...]

Safety precautions put into place within the past few years are paying off.  The accident rates of medium-duty truck accidents are holding steady and are actually decreasing in some locations.  It’s all due to hard work and safety-related practices on the behalf of both manufacturers and drivers and advanced safety technologies.

Safety is forefront in the minds of drivers and fleet owners alike.  Accidents cost money and lives.  Here’s what is being done to make medium duty runs safer:
