Thirty-three years ago, a giant, three-axle, Mack dump truck careened into a construction area far too fast for the ten-yards of asphalt it was hauling. The Mack came to rest atop a mid-sized car trapping its unsuspecting driver. What happened next was a flurry of activity that could be described no less than that of “Orchestrated Chaos.”

The unit was operated voluntarily by a member of their staff and patroled downtown and designated "event parking" areas.

Ya’ can’t go a week without seeing someone poking holes’ in the need for industry training. Forum participants are quick to make aggressive attacks on course content in which towers claim they don’t need formal training because “I learned it on my own” or “I’ve been in business for years and don’t see the need.”  

Other long-time “experienced” towers indicate that “training’s expensive” and “it’s a waste of time.” 

But could the lack of training be detrimental to towers in the unforeseen event something does happen?

Allstate Roadside awards Tierney and Earnest Jones of Trac 1 Towing in Memphis

the prestigious 2021 Ring of Honor Award.

Allstate Roadside recently announced the winners of their Ring of Honor Award, which recognizes exceptional service providers distinguished by fast response time and great customer service for customers of Allstate Roadside and affiliate programs.

This year, Allstate Roadside was privileged to name Tierney and Earnest Jones of Trac 1 Towing as recipients of the 2021 Ring of Honor Award. Since joining our network in February 2018, Trac 1 Towing has achieved outstanding service levels while completing over 100 tows each week.

They've reinvested in their company and have steadily grown their fleet from four trucks in 2018 to eight light-duty trucks in 2022, and they’ve added medium- and heavy-duty capacity along the way.

"Allstate Roadside is a key part of our towing business and helps us take care of our drivers who really make all of this work. It's easy to do business with Allstate Roadside, and that allows us to focus on customers," said Tierney Jones.

Trac 1 chose Allstate Roadside as the first national service network (motor club) to work with, and they remain committed to creating a positive customer experience with every rescue they complete.

Allstate Roadside believes that providers like Trac 1 and leaders like Tierney and Earnest are the heartbeat of our industry. Please join us in congratulating them on this prestigious achievement. We thank them and all great providers for what they do to serve customers and keep them safe.
