INSIGHTFUL TALK: What is in store for 2023?

2023 MAKE IT YOUR YEAR!

As the current issue hits your hands, 2023 is in full swing with days passing that sometimes seem like a blur! The new year seems to be a handful already for many that I talk to. We have prepared an issue that will give you knowledge on the latest products so you can hit the ground running in 2023! Insight in this issue is from some of the top manufacturers in lighting. We will be exploring an array of products built with a passion for adding safety to our industry, clarity on the scene, and awareness to drivers of our first responders.

Hazmat recovery training and spill containment is another topic where our readers need more information. In this issue, Perry Beaty of Hazmat Responder Network explains how hazmat training can add a new revenue stream to your company. Perry also walks us through the products he engineered to assist in safe and productive hazmat spill containment.

In our “Fuel for Thought” series by DJ Harrington, we gain insight on two great shows coming up in Orlando in April: the Florida Tow Show, and the URG, United Recyclers show. Tow Professionals, we are hoping to see you at both! Dan Messina, in his latest installment of “Insightful Talk,” asks, “What’s in store for 2023?” - a deep dive into the areas and opportunities you will want to address in this new year! Jim Lewis our, “Expert Witness,” takes a sobering look into drug and alcohol compliance, and what that means to you, as an owner.

We pray that 2023 will be your best year ever! Thanks again for your readership, service, and dedication to our industry! God Bless and protect our Towers!
