Learn About Our Distinguished Tow Truck History
Strickland Road Service was formed in 1984 by Charles Strickland. Charles had owned and operated Strickland Tire out of Wichita, Kansas from 1970 to 1982. At its peak, Strickland Tire operated a tire and repair shop and eight service trucks around the clock.
Our First Tow Truck
After leaving the family farm again in 1984, Charles started Strickland Road Service with one service truck based out of Hunnewell, Kansas. In 1986, the consensus of the troopers and the vendors on the turnpike was to get stranded motorists and their vehicles off of the road and to a safe place to make necessary repairs to the vehicles. This was when Charles bought Strickland's first tow truck. Through the years Charles added several employees and medium and heavy-duty tow trucks. Strickland Road Service operated out of Hunnewell until it built a new shop building at Exit 4 on Interstate 35 in 1995.
