On December 8th, Wes Passmore of Classic Towing & Automotive held the 8th annual rally for “Slow Down, Move Over to honor fallen towers and raise awareness with the public. The rally, like many years before, started in Hueytown, Alabama in honor of John Hubbard, and to grow support behind “Slow Down, Move Over.” Tow Professionals from all over the state came together to promote awareness. Santa was on hand, along with food trucks, live music and a parade of 100 + trucks gathered and drove from to Tuscaloosa, Alabama raising awareness along the way. Today, the event continues to grow and brings in not only towers, but police, fire, and EMS, all of which attended this event to honor and promote towing safety.
This year’s event was sponsored this year by: Towbook, Kevin Goodyear Towing, Insurance Hub, Allstate Roadside, Knox Auto Parts, Passmore Logistics, Agero, AESOP, Copart, Progressive Insurance, My Company Funding, Progressive, Classic Towing & Recovery, C.P. Wrecker Service, Eastern Diesel & Auto Wrecker Service, Alabama Towing Recovery Association, and Tow Professional Magazine.
The support is appreciated and goes a long way towards educating the public, raising awareness, and as always, this shows our tow professionals that we have their backs! Thanks again for all that supported and attended the rally! We hope to see you next year!
