A new, national towing group aimed at bringing greater collaboration and fairer pricing to the towing services available to motor carriers launched recently.

With 20,000 towing members and the endorsement of a national motor carrier, the organization has hit the ground running during its first month of operation. Schneider National, the truckload provider and provider of transportation, logistics, and intermodal services, has signed on as the Towing Network's largest carrier to date.

The Towing Network, a full-service, national heavy-duty towing and road service dispatch organization, began providing towing services to motor carriers large and small in April. The national towing service is dedicated to bridging the gap that often exists between towing companies and motor carriers, offering fair and consistent pricing and giving motor carriers a one-call-does-it-all towing solution.

According to network President Jeff St Pierre, a member of the towing industry for more than 12 years, the Towing Network's rates are established by a board of towing experts with an average of 25 years of towing industry experience.

A nationwide call center in Brunswick OH is at the heart of the Towing Network's operations.

The Towing Network is looking for partner towing companies with a solid reputation and the ability to serve large motor carriers with heavy-duty towing, recovery, and road service offerings.
