Jones Auto & Towing

Hello Ed, hope all is well. Yes sir all very good points indeed and the hunt will continue.

Hey all, really looking at getting a 35t to start off. But I want to hear from the pros on what you think. I must be honest here and say that the very first tow truck I bought was a new one and I had zero work lined up for it when I purchased it. I’ve done it that way the last 23 years. But now I’m scared to do this with a rotator. I’m definitely going used this time. I’m a small shop trying to play in a big world and I figure a 35 ton would be doable for regular towing and the occasional recovery. Plus all the commercial work of various lifting jobs. I much rather have a 50 ton with a three stage for commercial lifting, more work I could get. But as for police work I know the 50 ton would not necessarily qualify me for bigger wrecks due to not having other large equipment to back the rotator up. so that’s why I’m thinking 35 ton to start and then see what happens. I would like to hear what you all think and maybe I could learn something along the way. Tell me what your every day working rotators do besides wrecks and general towing. thank you all and I hope to join you soon. If anyone is attending the Florida show this year let me know and I would like to meet you and talk over a beer or two. Guy.
