Welcome home, Heavy Wrecker #98! Adding this unit to our fleet will improve the quality of service to our customers, community, and operators.

This is a Jerr-Dan 25-ton that will be beneficial for both long-haul towing and recovery operations. Jacob, aka Fergie or Vern, is already loving his new ride! Fergie is a builder in his spare time, which is why the panther has a hard hat and tools.

Big thank you to TruckMax Tampa and Jason for helping us build this truck.

Thank you to 717 Wraps & Graphics for getting it done for us! Stay tuned for the other new additions!
