East Coast Truck & Trailer Sales First Show & Shine


Thanks to salesman Mark Hinchman of East Coast Truck and Trailer Sales of Portsmouth, VA for inviting yours truly to their first Show and Shine Open House on Saturday, August 18! Great fun and congrats to the winners in the show! East Coast will be posting their own pictures at their website www.ectts.com - check 'em out! Here are some that I took:

West Service Center's pedal car tow truck got three-year old Sam Copeland's vote!


Below, this 1998 Kenworth T800 was the People's Choice Winner. It's owned by Robert West, president of West Service Center in Chesapeake, VA.


This is Rob's 20th year in business and he took home a total of four trophies for his entries on Saturday. He and his crew also raised a total of $1,135 in a 50/50 raffle. Half of that - $567.50 - will be donated to the International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum's Survivor Fund. Way to go, Rob!



Below, this beauty took first place in the Wrecker/Rollback Division and belongs to Kyle's Towing of Staunton, VA. It's a 2004 Duramax C4500 with 175,000 miles and a pearlized paint job. "It actually works every day," said manager Doug Snyder who brought it down for the show. Doug has been in the towing industry for 25 years.
Here's Doug with detailer Corey Wood. They put four to six hours a week into keeping things in tiptop condition.
