SOME workshops with tow trucks are still operating their towing services as usual for emergencies but car repairs will only be done at the end of the movement control order (MCO). Car workshop owner Chan Kok Hoe said while towing services are still provided, motorists should try their best to avoid accidents. “Insurance companies and spare part suppliers are not operating now. “We can only help with the necessary paperwork with the police. “The damaged vehicles will be towed to the workshop and stored until the MCO is over, ” he said. Chan, who is a member of the Penang Motor Vehicles Workshop Owners Association, said there are about 150 tow truck…

Having your car transported on a flatbed truck is no fun so the owner of a Mercedes-AMG C 63 S in Russia thought he’d have a little fun by doing a burnout in the sedan while it sat on a truck. It remains to be seen why the C 63 S was being moved on a flatbed because it appears to be working just fine. Nonetheless, the owner almost got a serious fright and came within seconds of potentially flying off the truck and down to the snowy pavement below. What Could Go Wrong? Mercedes-AMG Owner Does Burnout While Sitting On A Flatbed BY Brad Anderson | Posted on December 7, 2019 Having your car transported on a flatbed truck is no fun so t…

While this ISN'T your typical towing scenario, a TUG operator pulling a regulation sized aircraft was run-over and killed when the TUG's nose-bar detached. Bacause the nose-bar is behind the TUG and under the aircraft's nose, it wasn't immediately seen where the TUG operator nor the pilot could have reacted in tim. The TUUG's driver was killed and a second person on-board the tug was injured. Christine and I send our prayers to the operator and their family. What a horrible accident. Attached is the news video that I'll consider graphic to some viewers. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7977511/Boeing-737-crushes-tow-truck-driver-death-pulled-gate-Bang…

Original post by: Truckin24 who is a Tow Truck Fan from Germany. Hello all together, over the Christmas days I found this very, very interesting forum. I'm not a owner of a company in the business of towing. I'm a class 8 truck driver in the middle of Germany near Hannover. Every day I'm on the road with my three axle trailer. I'm a fan of Tow Trucks made in America and a enthusiastic model builder. I build Tow Trucks and Fire Apparatus. In April 1991 I've visit the Stepp's Towing Service company in Tampa, FL. The reason was the development of a new truck item for Revell of Germany. Todd Stepp gave us his O.K. for this big projec…
