About this episode
One distracted driver.
One parked spray truck.
One split-second impact that nearly became an environmental disaster.
In this episode of Profits with Pajak, John Pajak shares what happened when a driver slammed into a parked F-250 spray rig and compromised the herbicide mix tank near a freshwater retention pond.
John walks listeners through how quick thinking, spill containment kits, drain seals, transfer equipment, and proper training helped prevent the situation from escalating into something far worse.
This is a raw and honest conversation about the side of business ownership nobody talks about until it happens to them.
