Products and services reported in this section relate to the advertisers in the 2009 April issue.
Crawford Truck Sales Maintains The Highest Standards

“Interstate Towing started in 1999 with a few used trucks from other companies. My first new truck came from Crawford Truck Sales. It was a learning experience that set my business in the right direction. John LaMarche walked me through the process and made sure that I was getting the right equipment for the job. Since then, we have purchased over 15 trucks, with Jerr-Dan equipment, from John and Crawford. Crawford maintains the highest industry standards that Jerr-Dan sets. Now that Jerr-Dan makes equipment for our rotator needs, when the time comes to update ours, we’ll return to Crawford Truck Sales and John LaMarche.”
Jeremy J. Procon, Interstate Towing, Chicopee, Mass.


B/A Products Hold Up

“I love working with B/A. I have never had any problems with any of their products, they hold up to the heavy recovery work we do. If you have any issues or questions all you have to do is give them a call and they’re on it right away. If something isn’t right they replace it and you can’t beat that. I’m very happy with them. They have a good selection of products and will custom make straps and chains to any length I need.”
John Collins, Ultimate Towing, Laurel, Md.


Rydin Decals Makes Quality

“Phenomenal product and a very professional company. We have used their relocating signs and are using their window decals now and have had no problems. They make a good quality product.”
Julie Kosanovich, S&S Towing, Melrose Park, Ill.


MatJack Makes Money

“MatJack products don’t cost money — they make money. We use their high-pressure bags, jumbo lifts, landing cushions and their quick lift bags and they’ve all done everything I’ve asked them to do and more. We’ve owned other products in the past and I can tell you from experience there is a difference.”
Jeff Martin, Operations Manager, Diamond Towing and Float Service Inc., Bolton, Ontario, Canada


New England Truckmaster Knows Towing

“Over the past 12 years I have purchased 40 units from New England Truckmaster — everything from carriers to small and large wreckers. Their service and warranty is the best. Chris Lambiase used to be a heavy driver so he knows what we want and need in a truck. When you pick up the truck everything is included down to the smallest detail and it is road ready to pass police inspection.”
Fulvio Tamburro, Star Service, Stamford, Conn.


Minute Man HDH Provide Great Service

“Our collateral recovery company has seven offices covering the state of Ohio.  We have 18 recovery trucks outfitted with Minute Man HDH units that provide great service and an economical price tag. They definitely take pride in their product and are continually making improvements to better them. We need all of our trucks on the road and Minute Man has been excellent with repair parts and information so we get what we need to keep moving. We have tried a lot of equipment and I would not hesitate to recommend Minute Man to anyone.”
Keith Blowers, Operations Manager, Skipco Auto Auction / Source One Adjusters of Ohio, Canal Fulton, Ohio


Freightliner’s M2 Has A Big Truck Mentality

“I started Brewer’s Inc. on Oct 1,1963 and bought Sakstrup Towing Inc. in Oct 2002. I have purchased four M2 Freightliners for my companies — three for tow trucks and one extended cab carrier all with Mercedes diesels. I love these units and would definitely purchase others. The M2 is a midsize truck with big truck mentality.”
Dennis Brewer, Brewer’s Inc. & Sakstrup Towing Inc., Ann Arbor, Mich.


Worldwide Equipment’s GPS System Saves Time And Fuel

“We purchased the GPS tracking system from Worldwide Equipment. It is equipped in nine of our vehicles and we plan on equipping the rest of our fleet of 20 vehicles with the system. The equipment saves us a lot of time and fuel while keeping everyone honest. It helps us know where our trucks are and because it is Internet based, it makes it even more convenient to locate our vehicles.”
Jeff Ripley, Padduck’s Weckers Service, Indianapolis, Ind.
