E: Execute

‘E’ STANDS FOR EXECUTE

Executing the job—engaging the winches to cause the casualty to move in a recovery situation or beginning to move the towing transport vehicle—is the final step of The Discipline.

Executing the job can be the most risky part of the activity. Towing and recovery involves a very fluid flow of mostly predictable events, but when things start moving there are uncontrollable and unforeseen circumstances that can arise. Surface conditions can change, visibility can be obscured, power units or rigging can fail, loads can shift or rotate, shock loading can occur—anything you can imagine that might go wrong can go wrong, in the worst possible way and at the worst possible moment.

We call that Murphy’s Law. The Wreckmaster Discipline minimizes the likelihood of Murphy’s Law through better control of the elements involved in towing and recovery. Consistent, methodical performance wins the day and will get you paid. Do it once, and do it right.

Safety is paramount. As tow operators, our ultimate goal is to make it home to our loved ones, and we must adopt every reasonable precautionary measure into our routines to minimize the chance of injury, damage or loss. It’s no one else’s job—it’s ours, as the tow operators on scene.
