ETS's tow truck fleet. Presently, there are believed to be 4 tow trucks in fleet
consisting of 2 rather massive units, one being a Kenworth, the other an
International. There is an older Freightliner unit which we haven't seen much of
lately, and every now and then an old International puts in an appearance. In
the past it was common to see Cliffs Towing hauling buses, and, sometimes they
still do. You could also occasionally catch a City of Edmonton tow truck hauling
an ETS bus. In addition to covering the ETS tow trucks, we'll als cover the City
and contract units when used to haul ETS buses. Additionally, this might be a
good place to put photos of ETS buses in general being towed or hauled
somewhere, as sometimes this done with flatbed trucks.
