Heart Warming Monday

Here are two heart warming stories to start your week off with a smile.

Superior Towing out of Gainesville, Fl has teamed up
with Grace Marketplace to provide bikes for
the homeless. 


Charity Begins at Home
 An elderly woman's car broke down along the side of the road,
the police officer informed her that she would need to
get towed and she would also need a new tire. The
woman  told the officer she wouldn't have any
money until her social security check arrived.
The officer offered to pay the fees............until
the Towing company waived the fees for the towing
and the tire company offered a free tire.

STORY HERE 


Goodness in the world........it exists!
We love that we're part of an industry, a service business
where we too can make a small difference in the lives
we come in contact with during our day in the field.

TBT: Remembering Maryland's Massive Snow Storm of 2016

Throwback Thursday: 1/25/2016

Oh, what a storm it was!

Maryland is buried in snow and the clean up is now underway
throughout the State.  Harford County was tracked at receiving
upwards of 33" of snow.

Pictures of George's Custom Towing parking lot
on Saturday show the real story.


Our team will be digging out this morning so we can get
back on the road to assist our customers in need.

Be Safe.  Stay home if possible.  Take it slow.

Cow Towing Update

PETA stepped in an awarded the Oklahoma Fire Department the
Compassionate Fire Department Award
and Car Care Wrecker Service was awarded the  
Compassionate Action Award

It's a beautiful thing.........
Story Update
 
Original Story 

This story brings to mind all the un-sung
heroes of the world - all the stories
you don't get to hear.  But really it comes
down to knowing in your heart of hearts that
you did good, that you brought a kindness or
goodness into the world, even for just a moment.

In the towing industry we get to witness humanity up
close and personal, on a daily basis.  As a service business,
it is our job to rescue the stranded.  Even though this is
a paid service we still come face to face with varying
amounts of fear. A huge part of what we do involves
compassion for our fellow man.  Sometimes the fear is
palpable; a single woman stranded in a snow drift - she
could be our mother, sister, aunt or friend and that's how we
respond, putting the fear to rest.

We rally on day after day..........

MOVE OVER, it Saves Lives

A Message from AAA


Governor O'Malley expanded the State of Maryland's
Move Over laws to now include Tow Truck Operators.

This law went into effect October 1, 2014 and
comes with a hefty fine of $500 if not adhered to.

The law states if you see a tow truck driver on the shoulder, 
you must move into an open lane away from the tow truck 
or slow down to a safe speed.

This is the same law protecting first responders; police, 
emergency vehicles and now tow trucks.



You've got to Move Over - It Saves Lives!

Let's keep it safe for 
Tow Truck Operators

Can you tow my cow?

We've had our share of calls...........and we've heard some crazy stories too.  
But imagine getting a call to tow a cow out of a pool..........

Well that's what happened in Oklahoma City when firefighters were called in to rescue 
a cow that had fallen into a pool.  The tow truck driver said "this was udderly his strangest
call"................and we agree!


.....and we thought getting called to remove
a truck from a house was one of our most unusual
towing moments!


It's all in a day's work!

A Moment of Silence

Please take a moment of silence to remember 
Larry Murphy


Larry worked as a tow truck operator and mechanic for 
Cleary's Transportation Company
for 35 years. His passing was unexpected on January 11, 2017.


George's Custom Towing as well as many other local companies
paid tribute yesterday by joining forces in a vehicle parade to show
respect and to mourn the loss of their friend Larry Murphy.

Rest in peace Larry Murphy, you will be missed.

Eric's Medical Fund

On January 11, 2017 around 1:34 am, Eric was intentionally struck in a hit and run vehicle driven by a customer who took their vehicle without consent.

He remains in critical condition at the hospital with no definitive results or conclusions to his well being, and certainly no release date in sight. He will have a long road ahead.



Although 24 year old Amber Harding of Laurel, MD has been arrested
and taken to jail - Eric remains in serious condition.



The tow fee is just not worth somebody's life.
It's not worth your own life..........it's just not worth it.

Prayer's requested for Eric.

Remote Car Starter

I'm thinking Winter has arrived........

oooh, it's a bit on the cold side this morning!  Your car is feeling it too.........
don't get caught with a car that won't start in the cold weather.

Plug it in, plug it in!  Get yourself an electric block heater for your engine
 that you plug in over night. Keeps the oil warm and the battery charged,
 so your car starts in the morning!

You can also plug in a pair of electric gloves or socks,
right into a USB port on your computer or using 
the USB connector in your car.

Wild stuff!

Should you need an early morning jump start
be sure to call us:

Winter Driving

Preparing for Winter Driving 

How to Drive in Snow and Ice

The three key elements to safe winter driving are:
  • Stay alert; 
  • Slow down; and 
  • Stay in control

It is best to winterize your vehicle before winter strikes.  
Schedule a maintenance check-up for the vehicle’s tires and tire pressure, 
battery, belts and hoses, radiator, oil, lights, brakes, exhaust system, 
heater/defroster, wipers and ignition system. Keep your gas tank 
sufficiently full – at least half a tank is recommended. Depending upon 
where you drive, you may consider using winter tires or tire chains.
