Lancaster, MA / United States of America- April 23, 2010

Now is a difficult time to get into the towing industry as a tow truck operator. The economy is still in the tank and people are coming up with creative ways to get their broken down vehicle from point A to point B. It is wise to realize that if you are just getting into the tow truck industry, you should have a look at used tow trucks for sale as opposed to new tow trucks for sale. Currently Crawford Truck has dozens of used tow trucks for sale that range in price from $6,000 to $35,000. For an entrepreneur that is just starting out, that chances of getting a loan for these amounts is much higher than for a new Jerr-dan tow truck, which can range from $55,000 to $100,000. Both avenues offer benefits and negatives. If you bought into an existing tow truck company, you may already have the finances to look at new rollbacks for sale.
