Highway 55 and the Reality of Recovery with Nick Gibler of Mustang Towing

In this episode of The Great Idaho Show, Dylan Stocker sits down with Nick Gibler of Mustang Towing in Horseshoe Bend, Idaho to talk about the reality of towing and recovery in Boise County and along Highway 55.

Nick explains why towing should be viewed as first responder work, what it takes to operate on roads with little shoulder and heavy traffic, and how quickly a routine call can turn dangerous. They discuss river recoveries on the Payette, winter slide offs, summer tourism traffic, the importance of the Slow Down and Move Over law, and why even the brightest emergency lights do not protect workers if drivers are distracted.

Dylan also shares a personal memory of Scott Kahn of ACT Towing and the unique brotherhood inside the towing industry.

If you want, I can also give you a shorter X version that is one tight paragraph, and a Facebook version that is a little more emotional and story driven.
