ZipsTruckEquip's video: Zip s Spotlight: Pulver Towing

The Schafer family from Minnesota has been towing so long, their first tow truck from the 1920s had wooden spoke wheels, no cab and a hand-crank winch. Patriarch Bill Schafer got the ball rolling in a service garage in Renville more than 100 years ago. His son Dan branched out in 1959 to Granite Falls, and in 1986, Dan and his son Mark purchased Pulver Towing in Rochester. Mark said he and his dad, who passed away in 2013, decided to keep the Pulver name as a nod to company founders, Jerry and Floyd Pulver. The original 1946 building still stands, but the Schafers now operate out of a new complex along Highway 52. The family spans five generations, and they are all proud to carry on the family’s towing legacy. Today, we take a closer look at the Schafers’ multi-site operation as the latest profile in our Zip’s Customer Spotlight Series at https://zips-awdirect.com/3Ysgfu2 Chapters: 2:20 - 100 years of family legacy 8:23 - Delivering a quality service 11:01 - Leading with purpose 13:34 - Zip's: More than a partner 16:13 - The next generation Check out more videos here: https://www.youtube.com/@ZipsTruckEquip Follow Zip's AW Direct: ➡️ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ZipsTruckEquipment ➡️ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zipsawdirect/ ➡️ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@zipsawdirect
