Education
MPTA conducts on average 3-4 light duty/heavy duty tow schools annually. These students receive the best education in the classroom while participating in hands-n demonstrations. Generally these schools are taught by a third party educator and the MPTA Board Directors. The towing and recovery industry need tow schools in order to teach all ages, non-experienced to very experienced towing and recovery operators. These tow schools give the proper training while promoting safety and professionalism in our industry, just as the generations before us.
