Jerry L. Bullock
Jerry first became involved in the Towing and Recovery business in 1965 as a driver. Two years later he went to work for Nelson Towing and two short years thereafter, bought the business. He went on to develop it into one of the leading towing operations in Oregon. Jerry was instrumental in forming the Independent Towing Operators of Oregon in 1972, which he later helped merge with the Northwest Towing Association to form the present Oregon Tow Truck Association.
Jerry promoted the first ever Wreck-O-Rama in Portland in 1975; the first Arizona Tow Show and was one of the founding members of TRAA. In 1985 Jerry sold Bullock Towing and went on to become one of the leading towing equipment distributors on the West Coast for Century Corporation and others. Jerry Bullock freely gives of this time and expertise and thus, truly epitomizes the real meaning of a Towing and Recovery Professional worthy of a place in the Hall of Fame.
