I am a two time business owner in the transportation industry and let me tell you it’s been rough. I vote for renewable energy, no on fossil fuels, I spent millions in upgrading my fleet to comply with recent emission laws and am supporting raising the wages to $15, I am also trying to afford health insurance for my team and paid vacations however as a tow company, my clients are CHP, PD, AAA and other emergency roadside providers that regulate my rates… they too have limited my increase based on the economy. Please help us too. I am the 98% small business america caught between large corps and employees. We have invested millions of our own money just to stay in business with struggles to remain viable for the past seven years. Don’t forget about all the conscious and wonderful business owners struggling too. I have to maintain monies to afford my liabilities. It’s heart breaking and scary.
