Upstate friends bring the kids out to our Touch-A-Truck event where they can get up close and personal with their favorite first responders and their trucks! 🚔🚒🚑 We'll also have food, bounce houses, a spider maze, fentanyl intervention training, and more!

Please read the important message below and come join us on Saturday, October 15th for the Slow Down, Move Over Touch a Truck event!

“My name is Ted Baldwin and I'm the Vice President of the Towing and Recovery Association of South Carolina. Our organization is hosting an upcoming free community event in Duncan, SC: Slow Down, Move Over Touch-A-Truck on Saturday, October 15th from 10am-2pm at the Duncan Event Center 121 S. Spencer st Duncan SC 29334. See attached flier.

This is our first year hosting this event, and we would like for this to be an annual event that communities look forward to year after year. We have partnered up with Duncan, Wellford and Lyman Police, Fire and EMS agencies to bring many emergency response vehicles for kids to get some hands-on experience with. Of course, there will be all kinds of tow trucks, as well as other trucks from local businesses. All three of these police agencies have also teamed up to complete a slow down, move over blitz where instead of ticketing drivers who fail to slow down and move over for flashing lights, they will provide the violators with a flier to this event. Upon entry to the event, kids will receive free bags of goodies that will be filled with safety related items, like a custom emergency responder coloring book, child size safety vests, etc. We will have food trucks, vendor tables, bouncy houses and more fun activities for families. TRASC wants to use this opportunity to educate kids about what it means when they see emergency lights flashing, and to give them confidence to remind their parents to slow down and move over when approaching any kind of emergency response vehicle.

Did you know that more tow truck operators are killed than firemen, EMS workers and police workers combined? Nationwide, tow truck operators have a 15 times higher risk of on-the-job deaths than the average American employee, according to a 2019 study by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. Funds raised at this event will go directly to advocacy and legislative efforts to reduce emergency responder lives while working on public roadways.

Please join us in our efforts to make this event a success.”

It has taken us some time to get our feelings together to post something, but this has hit us hard.

We here at Mitchell’s lost one of our own last night to ignorance and to someone simply not paying attention. Our company will never be the same.

Steven was a light to all that knew him, such a wonderful person.
We ask that you keep his Wife and Kids in your prayers and his Family in the days coming forth!

We also ask that you are respectful during this time to his family and honor their wishes!

Thank you,
Mitchell's Towing & Recovery

Please remember to slow down, and move over, and teach your children the same! These are our loved ones out there!

There is now a $17k reward for information leading to the identification of the driver who killed Jason on I-20 earlier this year.

Slow down, move over. Our deepest condolences to Will’s family.

Crews had been searching the area of the Don Holt Bridge for the driver they believed to have fallen over the bridge after he was struck in an accident.

The Sumter County Sheriff's Dept posted about this a week or so ago, but often times these things are viewed as an urban legend type warning. Nope. Customer came in last week with an exhaust leak and it turns out someone tried to steal his catalytic converter! They didn't get it because of the tight location, but keep an eye on your vehicles, folks.

We are sad to announce that the Myrtle Beach Tow Show has been cancelled for 2020, but the health and safety of the public is our top priority right now. As soon as it is safe to do so, we will start planning for bigger and better in 2021. Mark your calendars!!

With the uncertainty of the next few weeks and potentially months caused by the coronavirus pandemic, we felt this was the best decision for all involved. The Towing and Recovery Association of South Carolina will take this time to focus on keeping the towing industry strong in the great state of South Carolina and redirect our energy and efforts on making the 2021 Myrtle Beach Tow Show even better. Committed vendors and sponsors, please reach out to us at [email protected] if you have not already done so in order to make this transition as seamless as possible.

Thanks everyone for your understanding during these uncertain times. Mark your calendar for the 2021 dates!
