Heavy Duty Tow Schools with Tom Luciano

October 26, 2016 By MSSA Staff

It was September of 2014 since the MPTA hosted a 2-day Heavy Duty Tow School featuring Miller Industries Tom Luciano.  In all reality, the MPTA, actually towing students were blessed to have Tom here for three days.  As most of you know, when Mr. Luciano comes to town, which only means one thing… a disciplined, hard nose approach to learning the techniques of heavy duty towing and recovery.

 

Between all three days, over 60 towing operators/students attended this highly anticipated event as all were not disappointed.  Spending valued time in the classroom learning chains, straps, pivot points and leverage, later trading in the classroom textbooks for a great learning experience in the field.  On the third day, for the first time, towing operators/students benefited from working with Tom learning more about rotators and their delicate operations.

 

Congratulations to those who attended this Heavy Duty Tow School featuring Miller Industries Tom Luciano.  We are fortunate as an Association to have Tom back up here every two years.  So… hope to see you next time!  Special thanks to the Pellow family of Twin Cities Wrecker Sales for hosting our great Heavy Duty School and working with Miller Industries in securing Tom for three days!!!
