Create a list of motor clubs and give each club a ranking of 1 thru 10. Please only rank clubs you have done business with in the past 18 months. List Top 10 Clubs 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

So, Ive been a regular participator on Tow Force for a couple years now. I have found it to be Informative, Educational, a good outlet to "show off" our craft , keep up with the evolution of our industry from all over the world and even catch a laugh from time to time. Most of all, I find it friendly. Theres no B.S here. No "keyboard commandos" that I have come across. I have met some that I consider good friends on here and I have never met any of them in person. Now, I understand that there is over 5,100 registered members. Then can I ask why is there only maybe 10 or 12 members who participate regularly?? So, to all the members hiding in the shadows, …

Tow Times is bringing back a column titled “Good Guys.” It will share stories of towing industry members who do good deeds. I believe people in the towing and recovery industry are generous, and go above and beyond to not only help motorists, but support and raise funds for worthy causes, and become involved in supporting their communities in numerous ways. I’m looking forward to reading about the good guys, and all of the wonderful works they do. Helping others is most often done out of the goodness of one’s heart, and not for any type of recognition. As Martin Luther King, Jr., said: “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: Wh…

Hino Motors, Ltd. (“Hino”) has announced that there will be a “formal pause” of vehicle production at its plants in its consolidated subsidiaries in North America; the West Virginia plant at Hino Motors Manufacturing U.S.A., Ltd. and the Woodstock plant at Hino Motors Canada, Ltd., until the end of September 2021. The production pause was approved “following challenges in the required U.S. engine certification testing process for new model years of the A09C, J08E, and J05E engines for North America.” Production will be paused at the two plants described above in the United States and Canada. As a result, new model year vehicle sales in both countries have been postponed…

From the Blog of Geri Roskoph: As I was reading an article on how to recognize a professional tow operator, I was struck with what I thought was an oxymoron: “Your everyday, run-of-the-mill tow operator, above all else, is a professional, and treats you with respect.” I was curious of the exact definition of “run-of-the-mill,” because the way it was used in the sentence just didn’t sit right with me. The definition of something that is run-of-the-mill is a common, everyday, ordinary item that doesn’t stand out from the rest. Something or someone who is run-of-the-mill is probably not notable. For me, that does not describe professional tow operator…

This is how we gather member names for the next 6 months of T-Shirt Tuesday Drawings. Keep in mind we may throw some other prizes in besides T-Shirts. You just never know what one of our valued sponsors may come up with at anytime. or what falls out of the prize closet. Then again, there are no promises, the same is true for holding a drawing each and every week.

From Geri Roskopf's Blog: One of the greatest gifts we have is the gift of choice. Some choices are routine, and some are life-changing. We choose how we react to a situation. We choose to have a salad or a burger. We choose to buy a GMC or a Ford. We all make choices every day; some good, some not so good. In the December, 2020, issue of Tow Times, I read with interest Tim Jackson’s editorial titled, “Different, but the Same.” He wrote that no matter what country you’re in, “towing associations want to advocate for the best interests of towing company owners and operators, to raise industry standards, for their members to have a collective voice t…

From the Blog of Geri Roskopf: I recently had a phone call where, if I could have, I would’ve hung up on the caller. I was literally being screamed at. I’ve been in business long enough that I’ve handled these types of calls, and I’ve often found they result from a lack of understanding, or something was missed in communication. I did attempt to explain, but she didn’t want anything to do with it. I don’t like to leave a situation without it being settled to everyone’s satisfaction, but I guess sometimes you just can’t. A friend’s son – Bobby – has Down syndrome. Because of the virus, he hasn’t been able to go to work at the Threshold, an agency th…

If anyone has any connections with manufactures, I would like to send them a petition to make transmissions have an easier disconnect. If a rear differential can be engaged or disengaged with the flip of a switch, a transmission should be able to have the same feature. There have been several instances where I have personally been placed in jeopardy by having to pull a driveshaft in a dangerous area because the vehicle couldn't be moved without damaging the trans. Towers have to face too much danger as it is. These manufactures should not jeopardize our lives by having to choose between the liability of a transmission or our life. Your ideas and responses are encouraged…

This Topic Originally Created by Body Soother in January of 2005: While it is a couple of days early, I thought I would get a jump on it in case anyone wants to run out and get some Black Eyed Peas and Cabbage. Something says these could be in short supply this year. Body Soother said: I have heard since I was a kid, "Eat black eyed peas on the first day of the new year for good luck." Do any other parts of the country have anything like this? I was gone most of day, didn't have lunch or supper, so I guess this year I will not have good luck.

We weren't letting our liberal Governor or any Blizzard cancel all of our Christmas plans so since all of the restaurants had to close down, we decided to have it at the shop. We brought in a huge bounce house for the kids and catered it ourselves... Even the dogs had fun... And everyone should have a $30,000 buffet table... Lined some of the trucks up in the entrance for appeal...LoL Had a wonderful time with about 50 friends, relatives & customers.

From the Blog of Geri Roskopf: No matter where you live – Florida, Texas or Wisconsin — weathering the weather is a big part of how the towing and recovery industry does business. I’ve lived in Wisconsin all my life, and I can remember some major storms — like the ice storm in March, 1976, when over 600,000 homes were without electricity. The storm affected most of the state and lasted over a week. Snow is one thing, but ice is a beast, and this ice storm was considered a natural disaster. The winter of 1978-1979, was recorded as one of the coldest and snowiest on record. Back-to-back storms dropped more than two feet of snow and the av…
