Phones haven't stopped ringing: Tow truck drivers have busy day

In fact, snow days are some of the busiest days of the year for them - and today was no different, with multiple tractor trailers stuck on roadsides.

It happened a lot after the snow on Thursday morning – cars and trucks going too fast in slick conditions and ending up in highway medians.

The snow is melted throughout the day, but as temperatures drop overnight, there's another chance for black ice on Friday morning.

David McKnight, a tow truck driver in Nash County, started his day before dawn.

"It gets really crazy. Our phones started ringing at 3 o'clock this morning and haven't stopped yet," he said.

He doesn't expect it to slow down before midnight.

"We'll be out here probably all day and into the night, getting everything cleaned up that we need to do," he said.

He's asking people to be extra cautious - as temperatures drop tonight.

"The only thing that makes it complicated is when people won't slow down and move over a little bit to give us room to help people out and get them out of the bad situation they're in," he said.

If they would do that, it would probably save some of our lives.
