Ray's Towing, Inc.

Normally we would haul something like this on our trailer, but sometimes speed and efficiency is best for clearing the scene.

This front loader lost its transmission in the middle of an intersection, just a few miles from its destination. We've had previous experience with having to tow (and "flat-tow") larger construction equipment, so we got it done!

Really? Really, GPS?! You honestly want me to believe that this is the shortest way to get to a vehicle on the other side of the roundabout?

WANTED: Truck Washer and a separate position open for a Therapist after driver took his clean truck into the active area of a landfill. 😭😭😭

(Okay, so we all know this can be a dirty job, but come on!! Geez! 🤬)

Yet another loss in the towing industry of a long-term operator who was known to many.

Chris "Bubba" Golombowski, passed away recently from natural causes and will be missed for his colorful and often boisterous personality.

Nearly his entire life was spent in the towing business, and even after retiring as an operator for Ray's, he still stayed active as a part-time Ray's dispatcher. Often better than the Internet or a GPS, Bubba could get anyone where they needed to go and tell you what color house was on the corner--and its history!

Apart from always keeping an eye on the towing world, Bubba was a lover of sports, car shows, a good meal and a comfortable bar stool!

Arrangements are being discussed by his family for a later memorial.

Mike Kraft, on the far right, from five years ago. In more recent years, he's been happy as part of the HDM Towing & Truck Center. This is just our way of honoring his passing and saying that no matter where he went, he was and always will be a part of our family, too.

The towing and recovery industry along with the world who knew him lost a smart and funny soft-spoken gentle giant with the passing of Mike Kraft. He most recently was part of the HDM Towing family and previously a valued worker at Ray's. We at Ray's certainly missed him being part of our working team, but he was still considered family. Now, it's hard to even find the words when we consider this sort of permanent loss of Mike.

Everyone welcome truck #17 to the fleet.

A little Friday morning lift for Slick of a 33,000 lb. "explosives bunker." (Similar to an intermodal container on steroids, but much heavier and wider.)

Pete from Daniel A. Manesis Transportation took care of the oversized load transport while Joe from our company handled its 10,000 lb. baby brother.

(Thanks to Chase and crew at Floyd's Towing Inc. for supplying some "air" assist!)
