Can the towing industry survive without serious regulatory and financial reform? Join us as we uncover the critical challenges facing tow operators today, including the alarming rates of non-payment from insurance companies and clients, with some businesses reporting up to 60% of towing jobs going unpaid. With insights from industry experts like Wes Wilburn, JT Reeves, and Tommy Luciano, we explore the complexities of law enforcement towing, the negative impact of perceived predatory practices, and the urgent need for collaboration with trucking and insurance organizations to find sustainable solutions.

Get prepared for a host of upcoming training events and boot camps, expertly designed to elevate your towing skills. From light-duty to heavy-duty towing, and specialized sessions in heavy winching and tank vehicle recovery, our detailed overview includes must-attend events led by industry veterans like Wes Wilburn, JT Reeves, and Tommy Luciano. We also highlight pivotal training sessions focusing on electric vehicles and cross-training for firefighters and towing operators, spanning locations from Rhode Island to South Carolina. These sessions are crucial for staying ahead in an ever-evolving industry.

The episode also emphasizes the importance of advocacy and grassroots support to protect the towing industry's future. Hear about the tireless efforts of our coalition members who, often unpaid, dedicate their time and resources to lobbying for fair regulations. Discover the critical role of the National Open Commerce Safer Highways Coalition (NOCH) and the necessity of presenting concrete evidence to policymakers. We stress the need for unity and financial contributions to bolster these advocacy efforts, ensuring the industry's resilience against regulatory overreach and underinsurance issues, especially highlighted by the heroic efforts of towing companies during hurricanes in the Carolinas.
