Are you safeguarding your credit card information the right way? This episode, we weigh the pros and cons of physical versus digital payment methods like Apple Pay and Google Pay, while sharing the best practices to protect against chargebacks in the towing industry. We offer insights into the payment systems of Canada and the U.S., from e-transfers to Venmo, and chat about the quirks of credit card tech and tipping habits. Whether you're a towing professional or just someone curious about financial security, we've got you covered.
From dramatic highway tow dolly failures to FBI raids on fraudulent tow companies, the tow industry has no shortage of thrillers. We'll discuss a chaotic dolly incident that wreaked havoc on the road, the importance of equipment checks, and the shocking FBI takedown of Specialty Towing in San Francisco. Wrapping it up, we delve into the culture of driver nicknames and the sentimental value of truck unit numbers, adding a personal touch to the often misunderstood world of towing. Tune in for a mix of humor, industry insights, and stories that will keep you on the edge of your seat!
