Hello. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Brian J Riker and I have been involved in the towing and transportation industries for over 18 years now. I am a third generation heavy duty tower from Northeastern Pennsylvania and began my towing career operating a 84 Ford F350 with a 17 foot WeldBilt steel rollback body and a 86 Chevy C30 with a Holmes 440. Prior to having a drivers license I operated my dads old trucks in the yard and assisted him with recoveries and tows, these trucks were a 78 F350 with a Ortiz single line body and a 60 something Diamond Reo with a homemade heavy duty body.

I have owned two small towing operations, managed a large insurance salvage auction, been an over the road tractor trailer driver,cdl examiner/trainer, and am a trained master electrician. Currently I own a safety and compliance consulting firm specializing in the towing and auto transport industries, www.fleetcompliancesolutions.com and will be more than happy to assist any members here with their compliance concerns.

I was refered to this board by Eliminator II, aka Rich, who recommended I check this board out while I was admiring his new twin steer rotator the other day, so here I am.
