We have a TV star in our midst!
on: June 17, 2016, 01:04:30 PM
Usually this forum is reserved for spotting a SAK or multitool in a movie or on TV, but I think we need to make an exception this time and show one of our long time members- Swiss Man, aka the HITMan!



At around 23:50 you see a guy with a salt and pepper beard, first in the truck then addressing a crew of Hoosier Helpers.  That's our guy!

Honestly the whole thing is interesting and well worth watching to see what a Highway Incident Technician does- and you can imagine how his SAK and multitool help on a daily basis!

Good job Aaron- as always, I'm proud to be your friend!

And the way many motorist travel through traffic in the Indy byways, his job is dangerous since it is my belief that many perceive Hoosier Helpers as State Farm employed instead of state or local.

That was a great documentary! Pennsylvania has a similar service on the PA Turnpike and couple other roads but they mostly deal with dead batteries, out of gas, etc.

If we had a service like that here, I'd send in an application every week until I was hired.  I would love to do something like that!

That is a great service!! The 401 (or any 400 series hwy) in Ontario, and the 20 in Quebec could definitely benefit from it!
