Its with a heavy heart that we get the news of the passing of Edward Nicholson, he was only 62. He spend decades working with our towing family and in the community. He always had a wave for fellow operators on the roads, a smiling helping spirit, a helping hand and great knowledge on the jobs, no matter who he was working along side of....your uniform color and tag didn't matter. He will be missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends, and to his family at Twin Cities Transport and Recovery. RIP Eddie, we will carry your chains from here.
