Boulder Valley Towing went under new ownership in April of 2008 

The History

Boulder Valley Towing began in 1994, by Doug Shull.  Doug had successfully managed American Towing for many years and made a name for himself in the industry.  Doug decided to move out on his own in 1994 and created Boulder Valley Towing.  Boulder Valley Towing was a success and served Boulder and the surrounding areas for many years under Doug's leadership. 

After a long, successful career Doug decided to retire and sold Boulder Valley Towing to Northern Colorado Towing, LLC.  Doug stayed on as Manager for the transition.  In 2005 Doug did retire and Boulder Valley Towing went under new ownership and management. Terri took over as general manager and the company had been sold to a corporation that operated several other towing companies around the state.  Towing is a very tough industry with a high overhead.  The economy has a strong impact on towing as well, rising cost of fuel and insurance, more stringent requirements from the state, higher permit fee's etc.  In 2008 Northern Colorado Towing decided that surviving the financial hard times that towing has to endure was not cost effective and they chose to sell some of their companies and close the doors on others. The current owner was part of the creation of Boulder Valley Towing and has a sentimental pride in the company and couldn't see it beaten by hard times.  She decided to take over as the owner and keep pushing forward. 

When she took over ownership she did not have a dime to her name, no financial backers, no bank loans or grants.  She knew that it would be a rough road but she was determined to make it work.  The owners of Northern Colorado Towing also had faith that she could do it so they worked it out and she took over ownership.  The first day of business came with no money in the bank and huge fuel needs because fuel was $4.99 per gallon when she took it over.  She knew the company would have to run with each day paying for that day, month after month.  One big break down or unexpected expense could cause catastrophe. With the personal advice and moral support from friends George Connolly, owner of Connolly's and Bob's towing and long time personal friend Jim Schofield, owner of Hamilton Towing she jumped in with both feet, rolled up her sleeves and committed to succeed.
