What an amazing event on October 17th! We lead the state of NJ in the northern leg of The Spirit Ride to generate awareness for The Move Over Law. Special thanks to Chief John Russo, Sgt. Pat Feliciano and P.O. Steven Villareale of the Rutherford Police Department for organizing the procession throughout the southern part of the county and down to Middlesex, NJ. Thank you to the following Police Departments for participating with an amazing showing of solidarity: Carlstadt PD, East Rutherford PD, Wood-Ridge PD, Wallington PD, Fort Lee PD, South Hackensack PD, Kearny PD, Lyndhurst PD, Midland Park PD, Rutherford PD, Bergen County Sheriff's Department and the NJ State Police. Thanks to the Rutherford Fire Department and EMS for joining us. Thank you to the Air Land Sea Detachment 710 for their color guard presentation, Pat O'Brien who volunteered his time to play the bagpipes, Jim Powers from Elizabeth Truck Center for setting up the tow trucks as they arrived as well as the huge American flag that was on display. Last but certainly not least, Senator Paul Sarlo for taking time out of his very busy schedule to speak at this event.
We wouldn't have a procession without these amazing towers who took time away from their companies to participate in our Spirit Ride: B&C Towing, Select Towing, ECRB Towing and Recovery, Ron & Sons Towing, S&S Shell/Anthony's Towing, J&M Towing and Belfi's Towing. Events like this, when we can all come together, make us proud to be in this industry.
It was a wonderful event and we couldn't have done it without all of your support. We're not done though. Please everyone do YOUR part to Slow Down and Move Over when you see lights on the shoulder of the roadway. We will continue to get the message out!
