    my Jamie davis Towing story... i was riding my motorcycle from ontario to british columbia, in the nineties. I needed some dot5 brake fluid. no one west of Ontario had it. someone on the road in bc overheard my dilema at a gas stop. they told me to stop at the tow shop in Hope. I stopped to enquire and low and behold they had it but not for sale to public. They gave me a little out of their large container from the tow shop for me to use to get home NO CHARGE. Then i see your show and remembered your kindness. will always watch as i used to drive a tow truck in my youth!!

    Good tv show. On a couple of trips to the states several years ago I was surprised to see “Highway Tru Hell” on American tv! I think it was on the the weather channel. I drove tow truck years ago when I was in my 20’s. 1981 or so. Started driving while on strike at Stelco. Repair shop towing, CAA, Ontario Provincial Police. Loved it at the time wouldn’t now though. I can say one thing, I liked winter up until I drove tow truck for a couple of winter seasons. Hours on end of soaked pants, wet cold feet and frozen hands some days went day and night during storms. Tow truck drivers are an unappreciated breed of people. Cheers🍻🇨🇦🥂🇺🇸👍

    It's nice to hear the back story of how it started. I've always had a love of big trucks. Semis, Dump, and Tow and watching your show and videos is very enjoyable for me. If weren't tied to a business I'd be in some aren't of the trucking business and behind the wheel. If you're looking for some story ideas, a fire side chat, or shop BS session sharing stories may be good.

    I agree whole-heartedly, Jamie. Working for a smaller business is the way to go. I work for a brother/sister owned printing company & there are 7 employees here. Low overhead, smaller bills, no big corporate "nonsense" to deal with....it's a win-win!

    I run a rv transport business here in southern. Cali and I like his take charge attitude. Reminds me of me. Lol. We are based out of California but we go everywhere.

Jamie Davis towing is big hit down here in the states and I'm sure in Canada as well. Can't wait to see what you come up with and congrats on you getting your license. Maybe you'll be driving the pickup truck flagging for Jamie one day kinda like Brandon did or still does. Either way good luck to you and again you stay safe up there and thank you for the time you take to do these video's.

    • @edewaal97
      @edewaal97 3 года назад +1

      ​@@JamieDavisTowingOfficial Please focus on the content first, before going out to buy new equipment. Try and make a little backlog of video's you can release. It's more beneficial to have a strong release schedule than the improvements that 4700 dollar camera bring.
      Try and get lighting and audio top notch before going out and spending a month's worth of full time income (or even more) on that camera. There are big RUclips channels around that film mostly on a high end smartphone (for example Goonzquad).
      Keep it up!
