Franco Missaglia's livelihood is the road. As a tow truck operator, he's out there every day picking up the pieces when things go wrong.

But more and more he's worried that it will be him or one of his drivers at Code 12 Towing Service that will need recovering from the side of a freeway.

Like everyone else in the industry, he just wants to come home to his family.

"If the coppers aren't there, we're not safe. It's as simple as that," he said.
