Every Mile Has a Story. Every Bid Preserves One.
The International Towing & Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum proudly announces the donation of the 2026 Museum Auction Truck, generously provided by longtime industry partners Hino Trucks USA and Miller Industries. The custom-built truck recently rolled off the production line at Miller Industries’ state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Hermitage, Pennsylvania, and will headline the museum’s Annual Fundraising Auction on Friday, October 16, 2026, during Museum Weekend in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Proceeds from the Museum Auction directly support the International Towing Museum’s ongoing efforts to preserve the history of the towing and recovery profession while expanding educational opportunities and enhancing exhibits for future generations. Every bid helps ensure that the stories, innovations, and individuals who shaped the industry continue to be recognized and remembered.

More about the Miller Industries car carrier
Miller Industries brings a whole new dimension to transport with the 12 Series LCG® (Low Center of Gravity) carrier. The patented design lowers the deck height 5” – 6” over conventional carriers. The lower height allows for the transport of taller loads, such as forklifts or man-lifts, that may be over-height on a conventional carrier and also provides better stability during transport.
The operator can easily secure loads or tie down vehicles while standing on the ground, thanks to the lower height. When mounted on most air ride chassis, with the air dumped, the 12 Series LCG® has less than an 11-degree load angle, making it ideal for loading low-clearance vehicles or equipment without using ramps or wood. For fast and easy unloading of damaged vehicles or equipment, the 12 Series LCG® has a 20-degree dump angle.
