WHERE WE ARE TODAY

The days, weeks, and months seem to keep flying by! Here we are stepping into September, and 2020 has been a year of extreme challenges, short of flying squirrels with flame throwers! Business owners and citizens facing a pandemic, riots, injustice, uncertainty in politics, you name it. How do we move forward, you might ask! You get out in your area, and you take your business to the men and women in your industry that have always been there to serve your company. We need to continue to work with and support our suppliers, manufacturers, dealers, and distributors. This is how we can help each other sustain and grow our businesses during this market. Growing your business today and planting roots for the future of your company is the only way! Forward is the only way with a humble heart and a desire to fight for the honor of enjoying the greatest nation in the world!

In this issue we honor our Fallen men & women of towing with our front cover. This is something that has been dear to our hearts for a long time, and we have been blessed to help memorialize your loved ones this way. In this Issue DJ Harrington reminds us to “Not Panic” as Jim Lewis our Expert Witness gives us info on making best with your Covid downtime. Dan Messina’s Insightful Talk wraps it up with a look at the World we now live in. This issue will also take an in depth look at what is new in “Wheel-Lifts & Repo Equipment.” Take time to see the products that you can add to your business and let’s all stride forward ready to grow in 2020 & beyond!
