The 2011 Florida Tow Show will be here soon, April 14th- 17th, 2011. It Is located at the Hilton across from Downtown Disney; which can be reached at (800) 782-4414 or 1751 Hotel Plaza Blvd., Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830. Well enjoying the hundreds of tow trucks that will be on display, there are countless exhibits to take in for the tow truck enthusiasts and professionals. There will be Wrecker Driver Training on April 14th and April 15th, which will offer Light and Medium Duty class room and hands on training with Dave Lambert.
In addition there will be Informative Seminars throughout the Florida Tow Show that are designed to help you "Learn to Earn More". This is achieved through educational seminars throughout the weekend. These seminars will be performed by tow truck dealers and authorized Jerr-Dan dealers.
There will also be a Show Truck Beauty Contest sponsored by Allstate Roadside Services. Space is limited for this event, so sign up prior to attending the event. The tow truck beauty contest will be for multiple classes; including light duty, rollback, medium duty and heavy duty tow trucks. The truck entry fee is $50.00 per truck.
The 4th Annual USAC/ MD Charity Golf Classic will take place at the beautiful celebration golf course April 14th, 2011. The proceeds will benefit the International Towing and Recovery Museums' Survivor fund. In addition to this being a great cause, "Get a Hole in one and Win a Brand New Tow Truck".
This year the Tow Show is also proud to announce their association with the Professional Wrecker Operators of Florida Education and Legislation Programs. One lucky winner will take home a brand new 2011 Hino Truck with Rollback.
One of the best parts about this show is the ability for potential buyers to interact with other towers from across the world. It's a great place to see how things are done outside your state and learn what you can do to improve your operation. It's amazing how a conversation with a Jerr-Dan Dealer can enlighten you on how your rig should be operating and what you are missing out on when you are using another manufacturer.
It's also important to communicate with other towers from around the world. The knowledge that you can pick up from discussing towing with an operator from Japan could potentially save you time or money in future wrecks or business operations. It is also interesting to see how towers are set up in different countries to handle different domestic vehicles.
We look forward to seeing you down there this year. Be sure to check out the Jerr-Dan booth and ask to speak to John LaMarche of Crawford Truck Sales, Lancaster, Massachusetts.
