Why You Should Join

We would like you as a member of our prestigious association. GSTA was formed in October 1987, for the purpose of preserving the interests of the independent tower in New Jersey.

Please take the time to read this important message. If you are content with all aspects of your industry, you should pass this message on to another operator who is not.

However if you are not happy with your insurance costs, municipal contracts, storage laws, insurance "dumping," taxes, or your perceived image by the public, then read on.

Just think of how many ways the association can actually save you money, help you solve some of your business problems, provide you with useful business information, and provide you an opportunity to meet others in the towing industry.

The Garden State Towman's Association was formed to assist you and the towing industry in such matters as described above. We are committed to excellence in the fields of education and training, legislation, and the vital services we offer our members.

The association was formed by towmen, single truck operators to interstate carrier operators. If you are a small operator, you represent the "majority" and are the "backbone" of this industry.

Please join in our commitment to improve both our image and future progress of the towing industry. Remember - with over 4,600 registered towing operators in New Jersey, (the highest in the Nation) your membership can build the strongest state association in the United States.
