About Us

At Dalton’s Towing & Recovery, we’re proud to carry on a legacy that began back in 1992 with a vision, determination, and an old 1970 Ford 1-ton pickup truck outfitted with a Holmes 850-style wrecker attachment. That truck was more than just a piece of equipment—it was the heart of a business my parents, pioneers in the towing industry, named “Road Rescue.”

 

In those early days, my mother was often behind the wheel, answering service calls and helping stranded motorists. Her dedication set the standard for hard work, reliability, and care that we still uphold today.

 

The iconic white paint with a bold blue stripe down the side of our trucks also started back then. It wasn’t just about branding—it was about safety, visibility, and patriotism. The bright white ensures our trucks are easily seen when working in dangerous roadside conditions, while the blue stripe symbolizes not only our commitment to excellence but also our unwavering pride in our country.

 

Today, Dalton’s Towing & Recovery honors those roots while embracing modern tools and techniques to provide the best service possible. That same passion and pride that fueled my parents back in 1992 continues to drive us forward every day.

Dalton’s Towing & Recovery was born in 2019 during one of the most challenging times in history to start a business. It was a period marked by uncertainty and hardship—the pandemic (COVID-19) had swept across the globe, shuttering businesses at historic rates. On top of that, political changes were on the horizon, with President Biden as president-elect, bringing further economic concerns and challenges for small businesses like mine.

 

Despite the odds, I took a leap of faith. Armed with determination, a one-ton truck, and a dream, I set out to build a towing and recovery business that would not only survive but thrive. It wasn’t easy—there were countless sleepless nights, hard decisions, and moments of doubt. But through resilience, passion, and an unwavering commitment to serving my community, we made it.

 

Fast forward five years, and we’re proud to celebrate a milestone that seemed nearly impossible back then. Dalton’s Towing & Recovery has grown, but our values remain the same: providing reliable, professional, and compassionate roadside assistance to our Louisville, KY, community.

 

What began as a dream during one of the toughest times is now a thriving business. Thank you to all our customers and supporters for helping us make it this far—we couldn’t have done it without you! Here’s to many more years of serving our community.

Dalton’s Towing & Recovery was founded in 2019 with a one-ton tow truck and a dream by Dalton, the son of two prominent towing icons who have been serving the industry since the early 1990s. Growing up, Dalton was immersed in the world of towing and recovery, learning every detail from his parents, who passed on decades of knowledge and a deep respect for the industry. At just 25 years old, Dalton opened the doors of his own business with the goal of offering dependable, compassionate service to drivers in need throughout Louisville, KY.

 

For Dalton, towing isn’t just a job—it’s a way of life. His deep roots in the industry, paired with his passion for helping others, have shaped the heart and mission of Dalton’s Towing & Recovery. As a proud patriot and member of the Louisville community, Dalton values not only serving his neighbors but also raising awareness for important causes, like the Slow Down, Move Over law. Tragically, a tow truck operator is struck and killed every six days in America, and Dalton is committed to educating drivers about this critical safety issue to protect lives on the road.

 

When you call Dalton’s Towing & Recovery, you’re not just getting fast and reliable roadside assistance—you’re getting the personal touch of someone who truly cares. Whether it’s a lockout, a jump start, a flat tire, or a tow, Dalton and his team are dedicated to providing top-tier service with integrity, respect, and a genuine concern for your safety.

 

Dalton’s patriotism and love for his country and community shine through in everything he does, and he’s proud to run a business that reflects those values. Contact Us today at 502-830-7648 and let us get you back on the road safely.

These conventions are more than just events—they’re opportunities to learn, grow, and ensure we’re equipped with state-of-the-art technology, tools, and resources to better serve our community. We take pride in representing our company at these gatherings, proudly wearing the Dalton’s Towing & Recovery name and networking with other professionals in the industry.
