Upcoming Events and Honoring the Fallen

  • Summary

  • Ever lost someone close and felt the weight of carrying on their legacy? Join us as we honor the memory of those we've lost in the towing community, including a heartfelt tribute from Matt Spencer to his late son, Keegan. DJ Harrington and towing industry veteran Wes Wilburn kick off the episode with an impassioned discussion on the critical importance of safety campaigns like "Slow Down, Move Over." Through emotional stories and personal experiences, we underscore the daily risks tow truck operators face and the unwavering support needed from the community to ensure everyone's safety.

    Relive the poignant moments as DJ recounts his early days with Jimmy's Towing in Fairfax County and the tragic loss of its owner, Jimmy. We dive deep into a sobering story from Florida involving Kevin Fox and a fatal accident that brought back painful memories of DJ's own father's death. These narratives highlight the gravity of our responsibilities and the ever-present danger on the roads, stressing why drivers must slow down and move over for tow operators.

    Celebrate the generous spirit of the towing community with us as we recount the incredible fundraising efforts at the Ohio show. From auctions supporting the Widows and Orphans Fund to the energetic participation of a young child, the event was a testament to our industry’s solidarity. We also preview upcoming highlights like the Chattanooga show, the Wall of the Fallen ceremony, and the relaunch of a comprehensive towing and rescue information app. Stay tuned for details on upcoming training events and make sure to check in with us on the floor in Chattanooga—there's a lot to look forward to!
