Our drivers are the heart and soul of Georgia straight towing. So when driver Aldi says he wants a new light bar, we make sure he gets a new light bar. This light bar came attached to a brand new international truck with a 20,000lb NRC deck! Thank you for all the hard work you do Aldi. If you see Aldi out in our new truck #98, give him a wave.
