Local tow truck business does drive-by parades for the community

 

 

Accurate Towing & Recovery, based out of Sycamore, has been providing free traveling parades of tow trucks around northern DeKalb County.

 

"We started on Wednesday, reaching out to a group on Facebook, and it's taken off like wildfire," said Adam Benn, an owner of the tow truck company. "We started at noon Wednesday and didn't end until 9 p.m. We've visited subdivisions and homes in DeKalb, Sycamore, Cortland and Kirkland. How often do parades go down the streets of your neighborhood? We can bring the parade right to your house."

 

Benn said that the parade of six tow trucks has been met with cheers and signs by onlookers. Some parade viewers stay indoors and watch from windows, while others watch from their front porch, driveway or street's curb.

 

Benn said the idea started because the tow truck industry has taken a hit during the stay-at-home order.

 

"Business is slow because everyone is at home and not driving," he said. "When I mentioned the idea of a traveling parade, every one of my employees was on board."
