From a dream to become a Pharmacist to Towing Legends: The Remarkable Story of Marilyn Rogers


Listen Later

Step into the world of towing excellence as DJ Harrington and Darian Weaver explore the remarkable stories featured in the latest issue of Tow Professional Magazine.

At the heart of this episode is an inspiring profile of 92-year-young Marilyn Rogers, whose journey from aspiring pharmacist's wife to towing industry pioneer began during a 1957 blizzard. After witnessing tragedy, Marilyn and husband Dewey purchased their first wrecker and launched what would become a towering legacy. Her story showcases true resilience – from dispatching calls and driving trucks to becoming the Wisconsin Towing Association's second female president and cleverly talking her family out of a hostage situation.

Join Darian as he shares exclusive insights from his recent tour of Towmate's manufacturing compound in Bentonville, Arkansas. What looks like a single facility from the outside reveals itself as an impressive multi-building operation where innovation happens daily. Witness how Brian Anderson transformed wireless towing lights over 40 years, creating manufacturing capabilities that can take products from concept to production in just three days.

The hosts also highlight cutting-edge equipment developments from Warrior Winch, whose T1000 series compact winch pulls 25,000 pounds while remaining lightweight. Learn about their Armortech synthetic rope that delivers steel-equivalent strength at a fraction of the weight – technology Darian has personally relied on when stuck in four feet of mud.

Discover how towing operators can generate additional revenue through EV charging stations, a diversification strategy that proved critical during pandemic slowdowns. The episode provides actionable insights about maintenance, facility outfitting, and preparing for industry evolution.
