2024-01-12 13:22:32 +0000 UTC View PostThank God for makeup and sleep! I literally have red splotches on my face where I was burned from the freezing temperatures and 45 mph winds during a winch call. This week has been challenging but we are kicking butt despite the challenges πͺππ
2024-01-11 17:37:39 +0000 UTC View PostMorning guys! βοΈ I finally got some sleep after working the Snowstorm the last 48 hrs. Yesterday was wild! We had 6 cars stuck along I 35 blocking the exit. We teamed up with a tow truck driver on scene. He towed 2 vehicles and we winched 2 vehicles and put down kitty litter to provide traction to motorists so traffic could flow again. I definitely slept good last night!
2024-01-10 14:14:30 +0000 UTC View PostYesterday / Today has been busy! Kansas declared a State of Emergency due to all the snow and weβve been working round the clock to take care of motorists who need assistance. At the end of the day it feels so nice to shed some of those clothes and cuddle up in a soft warm bed.
2024-01-09 13:39:42 +0000 UTC View PostLiving the dream! We made great progress with the company this week. We were able to bring on 3 additional Road Techs for Kansas City area. I am amazed this year how we went from a simple 4 man crew to 11 People on payroll. Today I am learning more about team building and how essential it is to the next phase of business and our ability to continue to expand into different states. I hope all ...
2024-01-07 16:29:43 +0000 UTC View PostThis was back when I had more time freedom. I had taken a vacation in downtown Omaha. We had a beautiful hotel overlooking the city. I look forward to the days I can take a few days off. Until then, I got a lot of work to do and a lot more people to hire.
2024-01-06 15:18:02 +0000 UTC View PostMorning! βοΈ Itβs so important to stay on top of things. Yesterday I brought on a new member of our roadside team. He has 20+ years experience in roadside assistance and was great with our customers. We brought him on to get ahead of all the growth in call numbers we had and though a team of 4 people stayed busy still, it was a welcomed relief from complete call overload we had had days prio...
2024-01-05 12:16:51 +0000 UTC View PostWhat a week! Our company took in over 84 calls for service the last 5 and a half days! My days start at 4:30am and I run until 5:30 - 6:30PM each day. I think the truck driving schedule helped me to become an even harder worker as a business owner and put in more hours than our competitors do. Elon Musk once said you can achieve more in 6 months working 100 hours a week than your competitor can ...
2024-01-03 19:11:48 +0000 UTC View PostIs it bad I donβt want to get out of bed? Lol Unfortunately I must.

I wear a lot of hats! π...
2024-01-02 13:40:43 +0000 UTC View PostHappy New Year! π It was a very short night. We had 1 guy running overnight and he was over run with calls after Midnight. So I threw on my pants and 2 more of us came on to help. At one point we were all 3 running plus held a dispatcher over hours and still we barely kept up. Itβs a good problem to have but God we need more people! I hope you guys have a happy New Yearβs Day!
2024-01-01 15:11:58 +0000 UTC View PostNothing wrong with staying in bed and working! ;) Today I finished our financial reports for TheBreTV and Midwest Road Rescue. Itβs so important to track that data so we can see where we are profitable and where we need to improve. Plus it will become vital to have as we grow! One of my aspirations for 2024 is to add a 2nd company service vehicle, in order to do so our net margins have to be ...
2023-12-30 15:16:05 +0000 UTC View PostI am up and ready to tackle the world today! Yesterday, I made the hard choice to keep our Indiana guys updated on the office delay with some motor clubs. It was hard because I didnβt want to disappoint them. They were awesome though, they messaged me telling me what a wonderful boss I was for always being open with them and we came up with a plan to keep the launch a success whil...

2023-12-29 12:59:09 +0000 UTC View PostGood morning! βοΈ We had a lot of challenges yesterday. One was with our acceptance rate with a motor club. They suspended our expansion plans because our call acceptance rate dropped when we lost our family member. I tried to explain but they didnβt want to hear excuses about family passing away, it was bs. Thankfully Iβve learned my lesson, have coverage come hell or high water dead or...

We are still here doing what we all should in this life, keep going strong despite the challenges, where there is a will there is a way. I see much of life as both a training ground and a blank slate where you have the ability to create something. Itβs a training ground in so much as we learn to survive better ...
