I am writing you to make you aware of the recent Board of Recovery Operators regulations.  I have received a copy of the proposed committee recommendations and feel at this time this legislation should not be approved. Like every business in this great state of Virginia, each day as a owned/operator,  I take the key out of my pocket and open the front door to our business and the struggle begins. I am the third generation of our company and my Dad and I have been in business in May for 50 years. I have personally been towing for the past 26 or more years. Due to the tremendous cost of insurance($9,300.00),trucks($65,000.00) and fuel $3.25 per gallon making a profit is almost impossible. I feel this legislation will be such a burden and other fees affiliated will cause many  businesses to close. I would appreciate you voicing my opinion.

God Bless,
