5 Reasons to Attend the 2018 Tow Summit 

The towing and recovery industry continues to undergo rapid changes. Keeping your eye on the road has a much broader meaning than sitting behind a steering wheel. Moving forward, your company must address technology, HR issues, tax changes, legislation … and much more. Don’t face these issues alone. Attend this year’s Tow Summit to access the tools to help you face what’s headed your way.

1. Insight: The towing industry is not alone in its challenges to hire and keep dispatchers. Hear how other industries, including a large police dispatch center, are addressing similar problems on the Dispatch Dilemma panel.
2. Expertise: You’ve heard about and read the hype about tax reform. Now hear the truth from Ron Mills, a CPA at Carr, Riggs & Ingram, about how your business could be impacted by the new tax plan.
3. Intrigue: Hear more from Tennessee Homeland Security special agent Barry Crotzer as he continues last year’s discussion topic on how to prepare for Terrorism Threats on Today’s Roadways.
4. Income: A lot of towing businesses do not collect up to 10% of potential income either through incomplete invoices or short pay from vendors. Are you leaving money on the table?
5. Fun: Nashville, Tennessee ranks 8th on Travel & Leisure 2017 list of America’s Favorite Cities. Come to Nashville for the Tow Summit and find out. You’ll run out of time!
