As we shift gears to the Midwest Regional Tow Show, we reflect on profound moments of remembrance and camaraderie. Feel the unity and support that define our industry as we pay tribute to Bobby Unruh, whose legacy inspired "Bobby's Law" in New Mexico.

These stories underscore a shared commitment to safety and the deep bonds that tie us all together.
Finally, join us as we recount the spirited environment of a recent towing auction event.

We express gratitude to the individuals who make these events possible and look forward to future discussions on industry challenges, such as the impacts of Hurricane Helene.
