STOCKTON, Calif. (Oct. 13, 2016) – Driveline Buddy, a new towing product introduced by Dave’s Towing Service in Stockton, California, won the first ever Tow Tank competition at the Tow Industry Week Convention in Dallas earlier this year. Tow Tank was filmed on scene at the Dallas convention by American Towman TV to offer towing entrepreneurs a chance to promote their towing inventions in front of a panel of distinguished judges for a chance to win prizes to help their business.

David Barton, owner of Dave’s Towing Service, has 35 years of towing industry experience and developed Driveline Buddy to make securing the drivelines of big rigs easier. Before Driveline Buddy, the drivelines were secured with items like bailing wire, rope or ratchet straps, processes that varied based on the truck.  “Each and every Driveline Buddy is made by hand in our shop,” says Barton. “Our goal is to help towers stay safe on the job and get the trucks back on the road quicker. Driveline Buddy is a crucial component to reaching our goal.”

With Driveline Buddy, this process is much easier. Driveline Buddy provides a cradle and suspender that can be installed on the frame of the truck, providing a safe place for the driveline to be easily secured within minutes for safe storing during travel.

As the winner of Tow Tank, Barton received $5,000 in website and marketing services from OMG National, free business consulting and a $5,000 cash prize to help expand the production of Driveline Buddy. Tow Tank was created by Matt Manero of Commercial Fleet Financing, who led to competition. Mike Rappaport, Chief Creative Officer at OMG National, a full service marketing firm in Plantation, Fla. also sat on the panel of judges.
