Well.. Mr Foster asked me for my #,nevercalled me...the Gov seems to care less..the rules here are NOT for a classification of class b operator. I have been in publi safety towing past 2 or 3 years here in henrico. I have towed in NYS  for serveral years.|I have been other areas. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH BS IN ALL THESE YEARS. The requirements for a small family owned business to survive is going to be very hard, esp I just committed to purchasing another truck, and now Im told it must have 2 winches and such..for what? I have done everything with my 2 rollbacks that has been asked of me and above that. FOR verication, call all the officers on the Henrico PD force that have worked with me and ask them. I GUARANTEE esp those on nightshift will state I am there ahead of my estimate, I do my job,I do it safely and help them any way possible.As well as the state police. |These demands |& requirements are more for a medium duty towing organization, not a light duty operator. there are 3 classifications  that should be in place not 2.. a light duty class, a medium duty class and a heavy duty class.... these are not the same ,to comibine a light duty and medium duty is not fair not reasonable ..as well as the january 1 2006 deadline,,,,, well damn so because I formally got everything set up in march 2006 i miss it by 3 months?? CMON!|!!!|There are lot of small companies out here, we need to rally this and show  what we are & need.. or we may just as well close up and let the big guys take over.... its ridiculous.......but then again is the BTRO listening?

I dont think so...
