Some folks have asked why we send a fire truck to an automobile accident. It is to protect our first responders from distracted drivers. This happened last nig...ht as Chickasaw Fire was on scene of an MVC. A distracted driver plowed into the blocker truck. Because of the protective strategy, no responders were injured. Had the truck not been there, the outcome would have been much worse. When approaching an accident scene, slow down, pay attention, get off your cell phone.

Slow down & Move over

Thank you to everyone who shared our messages on the N.B. Move Over Law over the past few days. We are finding most motorists are obeying the law and moving over. Keep sharing our message so first responders and drivers are safe on the highway.

The Management & staff at Burkes Towing would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy & Safe New Year

It certainly isnt everyday we receive a call to transport an Aircraft. Last night a Pilot was forced to make an emergency landing near the Anderson Bridge on Route 8 . Thankfully they were able to land safely without injuries. **Plane was dissembled for transport**

Enjoying the holiday parties? Taking a taxi or designated drive home is the easiest, safest and smartest decision. #SomeoneIsWaitingForYou #DontDrinkandDrive #HomeForChristmas

SLOW DOWN, MOVE OVER is a law that we at Burkes Towing have PROUDLY advocated for to be enforced under the New Brunswick Motor Vehicle Act for many years. Just a little over four years ago today, one of our own Devon Russell had the pleasure of having CBC New Brunswick News Reporter Bridget Yard tag along on the job to cover our story and message! It brings us a great sense of relief to feel as though our community of Tow Truck Operators in our Province of New Brunswick ...and our concerns for our very own staff/operators safety are being heard. Thank you Government of New Brunswick #WorkSafeNB #WorkPlaceSafety #DepartmentOfTransportation #TowingCanada #CAA #HeavyDutyRecovery

Its an exciting day for New Brunswick Tow Truck Operators The government has FINALLY introduced a series of amendments to improve safety on the roads for Tow Truck Operators. New Brunswick is the last province in Canada to introduce the Slow Down, Move Over Motor Vehicle Act

You call us tow truck drivers. You call us in your time of need. You call us because you have nowhere else to turn. Weather you car wont start or you locked your keys inside or you break down you call us in a panic. At that moment we are your concern, the only person you want to be there for you. We come fix you up and then just that quick we are but a distant memory. Let me take a minute of your time to tell you what we are. We are not tow truck drivers, we are towing oper...ators. We go through extensive training for the services that we perform. You think that our day consists of going from car to car to car towing breakdowns, jumping batteries, and unlocking doors. Yes that is PART of it, but there is much more than that. Being a towing operator is a lifestyle, not a job. That means there is no 9-5, no making plans for a dinner date or a last minute movie. We come to work and we go home at the end of our shift SOMETIMES. Other times we stay for double or triple shifts. We get called in all hours of the night weather just getting home from a shift or at 1am for accidents or massive recovery operations that take 10-15 hours or more to complete at times. We see things that most people would never ever want to see. We go through emotional and stressful situations constantly. We dont get 3 meals a day. Sometimes we are lucky if we eat once a day. We work in the harshest of conditions from sweltering heat to bitter cold, In the sun, mud, slush, snow and pouring rain. We risk our lives on the sides of highways with traffic blowing by us at 70-80 miles per hour everyday. And we know that each time we step out of our truck its a gamble. One towing operator is killed every 6 days in this profession. Thats an average of one operator per week! If you see flashing lights on the side of the road slow down, move over if you can and give us room. Did you know there is a monument is Tennessee called the wall of the fallen strictly dedicated to towing operators? Yes you may see different company names on the sides of trucks but we are a brotherhood, a family. We help each other. When we see another operator on the side of the road we pull over behind them to offer protection for them to give them a better chance of going home to their loved ones that day. Weather we personally know them or not we do it. So the next time you call for a tow truck or a service truck remember these things. Say thank you, be polite and know that we WILL get you taken care of and back home to your loved ones. We do this because we have a passion to help people. We are towing operators. Copy and share, If your a towing operator post a picture. Tag a towing operator Be safe out there.
