Tow Truck Driver Safety
Why take this course?
With the average motorist driving approximately 600,000 miles in a lifetime and the tow truck operator driving up to three times that amount, the tow truck operator must acquire as much education and training in the operation of tow trucks as possible.

- Increased productivity due to reduced injuries
- Reduction of equipment damage
- Reduction of liability lawsuits
- Lower insurance premiums
- Reduced worker compensation for medical leave due to work-related injuries and illnesses
- Future incident prevention

About Us
We believe that continuous education is paramount to keeping employees knowledgable and safe.
Founded in 2002, RISC is an organization dedicated to providing compliance oversight and training services to the collateral recovery and towing industries.
Our company’s story started in 1999 with our focus on compliance molded from our founders’ first-hand experience as recovery agency owners and towing operators. Based on a request from Empire Fire & Marine Insurance Company and AEON Insurance Group, our founders began the development of a professional certification program for collateral recovery specialists. The program would become nationally accepted by the collateral recovery industry and would meet the strict criteria of Empire Fire & Marine. Approximately 500 hours of extensive research went into the legal aspects of the program, including both federal and state laws that affect the self-help repossession process. From this, our certification programs were “born” and submitted to Empire Fire & Marine, AEON, industry leaders, and beyond. RISC continues to develop the most respected online training certification courses for the Towing and Collateral Recovery industries. RISC’s unique Educational Platform provides a seamless way to train and certify employees in a wide variety
