Our Story

How TNT Was Built

Five decades of hard work, the right equipment, and a phone that always gets answered.

1974

The First Truck

J. Petri founded TNT Towing with a one-ton Ford bought with a blown motor, working out of rented space at the Pacific 66 service station. One truck, one phone, and a promise to show up.

1977

Room To Grow

Demand outpaced that first bay. TNT moved into a 5,000 sq ft location and expanded the fleet to four 1-tons and one single-axle 5-ton — the beginning of a real operation.

1980

Going Heavy

TNT purchased 3 acres with a 7,000 sq ft building and added tandem wreckers and a tractor-trailer unit, taking on the heaviest jobs on the road. Ken Cannady joined the team to help drive it forward.
