Operated by
Code Carl Software LLC
Sending number
+1 (833) 519-2507 (toll-free)
Description
Recurring daily jobsite-safety text messages for skilled trades. Informational only — not marketing.
Message frequency
Up to approximately 1 message per day, per enrolled trade.
Cost
Message & data rates may apply. The Tailgate subscription is billed to the enrolling business, never to the technician.
Supported carriers
Major U.S. mobile carriers. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

How to opt in

A business owner subscribes to Tailgate for their company and then completes the Tailgate crew-setup form, listing each technician and ticking a required consent box confirming they have that technician's permission. The box is empty by default and the form cannot be submitted without it.

Each listed technician then receives a one-time opt-in request. You must reply YES (or START) to begin receiving messages. No content is sent before you opt in.

How to opt out or get help

Reply STOP at any time to cancel; opt-outs are honored immediately and you do not need to go through your employer. Reply HELP for help, or email Carl@fishtapeapp.com. If the enrolling business cancels and later re-subscribes, you will receive a new opt-in request — prior consent is not resumed automatically.

Eligibility

Tailgate is intended for technicians enrolled by their employer on a U.S. mobile number. This is not age-gated content.

Disclaimers

Tailgate messages are general jobsite-safety information and do not replace applicable codes, standards, employer safety programs, or professional judgment. Messages are provided "as is." To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for actions taken based on message content, or for message delivery failures outside our control.

Changes

We may update these terms; material changes will be posted at this URL. Continued participation after changes constitutes acceptance.
