Wall Street Journal - Front Page: American Towman

(WARWICK, NY - 6/1/17) It’s not often that towing makes its way into daily conversation, thatis, unless you are a tow truck operator. But recently, towing made front-page news when theWall Street Journal published a compelling piece in their Tuesday, May 9, 2017 editionentitled, This Superhero Is Always On Call - In His Tow Truck.

The story was researched and penned by WSJ journalist, Clare Ansberry, and tells the storyof American Towman Media, Inc., but even more importantly shares stories of the courageand fortitude of tow truck operators. From anecdotes about the recovery of a small plane froma pond, to turning over a tractor-trailer in the snow, the feature highlights the importance oftowing in our culture.

“We’re especially excited”, said Dennie Ortiz, Publisher of American Towman Magazine, “tohave been the vehicle for bringing positive media attention to the towing industry. Any timethe public sees what heroes look like, our society is just that much better. And our heroeshappen to drive tow trucks.”

One heroic endeavor American Towman Media has taken on is the effort to spread the wordof the “Slow Down, Move Over” laws that exist in all 50 states with our Spirit Ride campaign,co-founded by American Towman and B/A Products. “The Spirit Ride exists because so manytowers have died by simply doing their job”, said American Towman President and Spirit RideCommander, Steve Calitri. “The loss of life is a sad reality”, he added, “but if we can saveeven one life by educating the motoring public about the rules of the road, then it’ll all beworth it.”

From repos and recoveries to comic strips and crooners, American Towman’s foremost goalis to spotlight the tower and all of his or her professional interests. The item in the Wall StreetJournal paints a new and unexpected picture of the tower for some and validates the hardwork and bravery of the Towman for all.
