Quick Detach Towing Units


    Have you ever wanted to have your own tow truck on call at any time you needed that rig moved? Or maybe you have had the unfortunate experience that a driver was 1000 miles away and his truck is dead?
    So you call up every towing company around and they are all busy and cannot send a truck for hours, then when they get there either the truck is not big enough to handle a highway tractor or some other problem such as weather etc. and decline the job. Then you are back on the phone, waiting for another truck to be  sent  to you, hook onto the  tractor and send him out to swap out the dead for the live and travel back again.

Then you get this WHOPPING big bill to pay.
Great. Ya, I know, gotta love that. A big bill and a late or lost load.
Had the thought: I don't make that much driving? Why should they? My truck cost almost the same. Only difference is they can tow trucks not trailers , and you can tow trailers not trucks.  But you can address that problem when they cannot. You can hook on a Scorpion Stinger Quick Detach Towing Unit and have the best of both worlds!

Fact is: You could and with much bigger profit margin than the regular tower could too! Sound too good to be true? No. The average heavy duty tow truck would cost around a quarter of a million dollars! But you can always have a tow truck on hand for much, MUCH less. You already own the tractor(s), now you just  need a Scorpion Stinger! And at a fraction of the investment a traditional tower would have to make!
