On December 13, 2017, the Towing and Recovery Association of America, Inc.® (TRAA) submitted a petition to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for an exemption from electronic logging device (ELD) requirements for the towing industry.
Together the TRAA Cabinet and the TRAA Legislative Advocacy Network® (TRAA LAN™) have worked diligently on behalf of the towing industry to present a compelling argument for a much-needed exemption. The petition was posted to the Federal Register on January 10, 2019 ( https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/01/10/2018-00247/hours-of-service-of-drivers-application-for-exemption-towing-and-recovery-association-of-america-inc ).
We need the towing industry to submit positive, factual, and informational comments in favor of our request. It is vital that the comments are well thought out and supportive of our argument.
Therefore, we are asking each State Towing Association to reach out to their members and ask them to comment in support of this petition. In addition, if your association has a relationship with any other organization that might be in support of our exemption request, please ask them to submit positive comments as well. The comment period ends on February 9, 2018.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the TRAA Office at

Paul Allen here. Just a little bit about our company. We are founded by two veteran firefighters with more than 30 years combined service. My partner is a Navy Veteran who has several years in the environmental business working for other firms. We started this company back in 2014 and have been operational since May of 2016. We provide 24/7 emergency response to the DFW area and surrounding counties. We are based out of Haslet, TX and can be most locations in the metroplex within an hour to an hour and a half. We provide cleanup and waste removal services for highway incidents and hazardous waste spills. We also provide industrial cleaning services of process contamination and plant tank and vessel cleaning. We do confined space standby and specialty rescue. We are a versatile company with veteran emergency service experience that enables us to problem solve on the fly and address emergency situations with a calm, cool head. We are available for contract work to provide services to specific regions or companies. Contracts enable us to limit and predict costs ahead of time so as to take the guessing out of the cost associated with cleaning up hazardous waste. A contract is not necessary to work with us, we offer this level of service for those customers who know ahead of time that they are going to need service and want to try and control costs as much as possible.
We look forward to a working relationship with the members of the Southwest Tow Operators.
