P.S.A. If your vehicle has locking lug nuts and your bringing it in for service please help your mechanic out. If you know where it is tell them, or put it on the front seat or in a cup holder. These have been found in all different places in cars....glovebox, center consoles, by spare tire tools, in the door compartment under used tissues.... your mechanic does not want to rifle thru your belongings searching for this only to have you accuse them of digging thru your stuff. So please if you know where it is help them out if not understand why your stuff is moved around. Thank you!

WINTER PARKING BAN
A reminder to all citizens and visitors in the City of Marquette that the Winter Parking Ban will begin on November 1st and will be in effect until April 1st.
There is No Parking on Any City Street between the hours of 1:00 am and 6:00 am. The Winter Parking Ban carries a fine of $75.00 and a vehicle could also be towed if it is impeding snow removal efforts by the plow crews.
Vehicle owners should be making off-street parking arrangements for their vehicle for the winter season as soon as possible.
Cooperation by everyone will make it easier for the plow crews to do their job and make the roads safer for all motorists.
Tow Lives Matter

..I am a tow truck operator.
I don't simply drive a tow truck
I know how to operate it.
I know what levers to pull and when to make things happen
I am a tow truck operator
When your Prius dies, I'll get it to the shop
When your tire blows out in a storm I'll be there to change it
When that old Ford won't start I'll be there to jump it
When your LandRover is stuck in park, I can put it on my truck damage free
When you end up in a ditch I can snatch you out
Honda won't start in a packed airport parking lot? I know how to get it out
Locked your keys in your Hyundai two states away from the spare key? I can open it
I am a tow truck operator
If it's something too big for my humble equipment, don't worry, I know where a 50 ton Rotator lives, one phone call and he's on the way, along with a 30 ton, just in case.
I am a tow truck operator
I've gone out on a late call an hour away only to blow a hydraulic line loading the car, or snap a cable only to slap a new one on in its its place. I am prepared for things to happen
I am a tow truck operator
If you end up way off the road, I can pull you back, I know how
When your teen wrecks on the roads, I'm there to clean up the mess.
I am a tow truck operator.
I go home at three in the morning with oil in my hair and axle grease on my clothes; get a shower then in bed only to go right back out again without a second thought
I am a tow truck operator
I see the messes cars, trucks and motorcycles make
I know the carnage they can inflict
I've seen the drunk kid dead after prom
I've seen the blood, among other fluids a person holds
I've had lots of training on how to hook a car in every type of situations but have had zero training in how to deal with what I see
I am a tow truck operator
I also know the way a father reacts when he arrives on scene minutes after talking to his son, back when he was still alive
I lock it all away deep inside because I still have a job to do.
I am a tow truck operator
The forgotten guy in the chain of those tasked with keeping our roads open.
Rain, sleet, snow or ice, you call, I haul.
I'll stand on the white fog line in the rain hooking your car while others go about their day at 80 miles per hour sometimes only inches away from my body
I am a tow truck operator
I belong to a community of brothers and sisters that share this insane life.
We are many, we are strong, we know what to do, we figure it out when others fail
We are tow truck operators.
