From the bustling floor of the Florida Tow Show in Orlando comes a masterclass in diversifying and protecting your towing business. This eye-opening episode brings together two industry innovators who reveal strategies that could transform how you think about both insurance coverage and revenue streams.

Nick from X-Insurance pulls back the curtain on what truly comprehensive insurance looks like for towing professionals. Backed by Prime Insurance Company, they specialize in covering what other carriers won't touch – a crucial advantage in an industry filled with unique risks. DJ Harrington shares a sobering story about a 37-truck operation that saved a mere $16 monthly by not properly listing a driver, only to face thousands in uncovered expenses after an accident. His straight-shooting advice on properly scheduling all units, drivers, and operations could save listeners significant heartache and financial strain. Perhaps most fascinating is X-Insurance's remarkably diverse coverage options, from towing and commercial auto to recreational vehicles, aircraft, and even underwater mermaid shows.

The episode takes an unexpected turn when Jim Shellhaas of Ranger SST introduces a revolutionary business model that's disrupting the traditional private property impounding approach. His parking management solution transforms the towing professional's role from simply removing vehicles to managing entire parking systems for properties. The numbers are staggering – instead of focusing on incrementally increasing impounds, operators can tap into the much larger population of vehicles they monitor for passive, recurring revenue through paid permitting. Jim outlines how property managers are actively seeking these solutions as they increase asset values, and how separating your parking management services from impounding operations creates a more balanced approach that avoids the perception of predatory practices.
