Personal Life, Parents and Family Details :

  • Jamie Davis was born in Burnaby, Canada. When Jamie was about five years old, his father had a small tow truck, which he used to drive scrapped cars to scrapyards as a second job. Later on, he had his own small towing business.
  • When he grew up, Jamie and his brother moved to Abbotsford and started a towing company together with what they learned from their father.
  • Jamie would spend most of his time driving to and from Abbotsford to Hope, British Columbia, so he decided to just move to Hope to avoid this commute. Later, he broke away from his brother’s company and started his own. Jamie’s specialty is commercial truck towing and recovery, and he felt that specific expertise would be helpful in the type of work that came in from all the highways around Hope.

  • Jamie is married to Sherry Davis, who is also his business partner. The pair have four children together – James Jr., Brianna, Alexis and Brandon Davis.

Career, Income, Salary and Net Worth :

  • The reality show “Highway Thru Hell” was first envisioned & conceptualized by Neil Thomas. Neil first met Jamie Davis’s rescue operators when his moving truck broke down in 2010. The very next year, co-creator Mark Miller and cameraman Kevin Mills went back to speak to Jamie Davis about the show.
  • The reality show had some negative consequences for the towing company. After the popularity of the show, new competitors started popping up near the Hope area.
  • At the end of season 2, Jamie decided to try out new territory and expanded his business to Alberta. But he had to withdraw soon after because a downturn in the economy had terrible effects on business, and Jamie was forced to go back to basics.
  • At the end of this struggle, Davis realized that he prefers driving trucks over managing people, and he accepted the downsizing.
  • Another negative consequence of the show was that the towing company lost some customers that didn’t want their wreckages filmed.
  • On the positive side of things, the show has helped boost the local economy. Since the show started, many new businesses have popped up to meet the growing needs of the crew. The show also favours hiring locals.
  • Road accidents overall on Coq Highway and surrounding areas have reduced because of the limelight on accidents and wreckage in the show.
  • The series is growing strong, with season 10 beginning in September 2021.

Awards and Achievements :

  • Davis is an avid collector of old parts from wreckage sites. In an interview, he’s shown off everything he’s proud of, including some original pieces. He mentions that even if the company goes bankrupt, he can restore an old truck with these parts and return to business in no time.
  • Based on the success of this show, a spinoff series was started called Heavy Rescue : 401. The show already had a few successful seasons.
