Summer is a distant memory and Fall is in the air! Fall has a way of putting a skip in your step and making your dog want to wag his tail. Covid -19 has been in the forefront of everyone’s mind, and when it has not been, the election has! We must remember to push forward, and growth starts with us at ground level in every town.

Tow Professional started almost 10 years ago with the sole purpose of providing owners in the industry a source of information on the latest products from the manufacturers, dealers, & distributors in this market. We print nine issues a year and try to focus on allowing the industry to inform you of their products and how they can benefit your business. If we can provide you with the information to make a good, informed decision on your next purchase, then we are doing what we set out to do!

In this issue you will find James Lewis, our “Expert Witness,” offer assistance on the high cost of complaining in the workforce. Dan Messina brings some “Insightful Talk,” and asks, Who is the Boss When You Are Gone? We have some great knowledge and products from all the leaders in Towing Software and GPS Integration forefront in this issue. We hope to be a guide to inform you of the latest advances in software and knowledge of options that are at your fingertips! We pray safety for your family, and prosperity for your business!
