Statement from WreckMaster President Justin Cruse:
“For over 30 years, WreckMaster has been working towards creating a safer, more educated and better compensated towing industry. When we first introduced certification in the 1990’s, we dreamed of the day when an independent certification body like TROCP would exist. We look forward to working with TRAA toward our common goal of a safer towing community.”
Statement from TRAA President Joanne Blyton:
“TRAA has long been invested in promoting education and professionalism within the towing industry. Together with WreckMaster we can accomplish so much more for the betterment of our towing community than we can working separately.
