Millions Millions of these so-called "industrial "industrial insurance" policies are sold annually. The main advantage advantage is that it can be paid for with small weekly or monthly installments; but there are also a number of disadvantages to be considered. For one thing, when paid in this way, the yearly premium can be 20 to 25 percent greater than when paid once a year on a larger policy. Another problem problem is that this type of Insurance Insurance is sometimes poorly regulated, regulated, and not all policies are equally sound. Many large insurance companies companies are now writing policies known specifically as "funeral insurance." This is a limited, ordinary ordinary life policy that is paid up in a relatively short time. When death takes place, the cash face value is paid off to the beneficiary. beneficiary. You can also arrange to have the policy tied to a specific specific funeral home to cover the cost of prearranged plans.

Day or night, through snow, rain, sleet, or hail, Bob and his trusty tow trucks are prepared to brave the elements, all in the name of dependability. The centrally located rescue rescue squad, embarking on missions from here to the United States, has met with numerous challenges over the years including everything everything from moving mobile homes to carting away demolished demolished cars. "You can never predict what sort of situations the day will bring," explained Mr. Hockney. "You just have to learn to expect the unexpected in this business." business." When Bob launched the venture in 1965 he had only one truck and one employee -- himself. Today, Bob's Towing Towing has expanded considerably considerably to include two companies, companies, 18 trucks, 13 fulltime fulltime employees and numerous numerous part-time staff. "Towing started out as Oshawa Man Identified as Crash Victim Durham Regional Police have identified the victim in a fatal single-vehicle accident accident last week as Walter Czaus,37, of King St. East in Oshawa. The accident occurred occurred in the early afternoon afternoon on May 29th, at the corner of Baseline Road and Courtice Road. Mr. Czaus' truck was westbound westbound on Baseline Rd. when it went into the ditch on the north side, rolled, and burst into flames. The cause of the accident is still under investigation. just a side-line for me," said the father of three. "One thing led to another and eventually towing became a permanent occupation." Probably one of the most difficult aspects of the job is responding to calls involving involving fatal accidents. Although Although the tow truck king has learned to better deal with the shock of finding destroyed destroyed vehicles and bodies at the scene, he admits that even after all his years in the . business, fatalities are still hard to take lightly. Bob and his crew have found that most of their accident accident calls occur in the summer when the traffic tends to be heavier. And winter, although usually more busy with minor incidents, incidents, does not bring as many serious injuries. "I think one of the longest days we've ever had was during last winter's 401 disaster," disaster," explained Mr. Hockney. "We had to haul over 70 cars off the highway." highway." Bob's Towing receives as few as 30 to 40 calls and as many as 200 daily, with requests requests varying from boat launching, to the removal of someone's front steps. "As long as it has wheels, we can tow it," laughed Bob, adding that "and even if it doesn't, we'll make some for it!" When Mr. Hockney isn't towing a barge into port or a truck out of the ditch he can probably be found stamping out flames or rescuing rescuing fire victims as part- time firefighter with the Newcastle Fire Department Department -- a job that also gets him into some hot situations. situations. Of course Bob isn't the only firefighter in the family family with wife Marion also a part-timer on the Newcastle Newcastle team. Marion, or "Mrs. Bob", not only helps out in the fire department but has joined forces with her husband husband in the towing business. business. Likewise, Bob's son has also taken a fancy to his father's trade, and, along with a sister who works at the shop part-time, makes Bob's Towing more or less a family affair. "Hopefully my son will take over the business when my wife and I retire," explained Mr. Hockney. "It's a tiring, busy job that has its ups and downs just like any other," he said, "I guess it's just those few times when a customer comes back to thank you for your efforts that make it worthwhile!" sikkens Superior quality wood coatings engineered to stand up against the elements.
