Speed's "Wrecked" brings the thrills of tow truck driving in HD {Engadget HD}

Jun 8th 2008 9:55PM The parents Jack & Gail Gratzianna owned O’Hare Towing & Recovery also known as O’Hare Truck Service back in the early 70's. Jack always had the best equipment, as the company still have today. Jack Gratzianna alway needed the biggest and the latest greatest tow trucks that money could buy. Size was most important everything from all wheel drive to as may axles that where legal. Jack always thought BIG. As a guy in the same business back then, I never was able to keep up with O’Hare Towing.
I personally know the danger of being a tow truck driver. Because back in the winter of 1973 O’Hare Towing lost one of there drivers to a hit and run UPS driver. He got caught because a witness to the accident read an ad that I placed in the newspaper in Minnesota. UPS inspected all the trucks that travel that route that day and found part of Joe's uniforn still attached to the right front spring assembly. I hope the show does well. Jack & Gail were good friends and I know they would be proud of what there children have done. Keep up the good work Bill
