History of Cantrell’s Towing
1959
Started in Carbon Cliff, Illinois when Joseph “Hob” Cantrell started fixing vehicles in a shop behind his house and needed a wrecker to get cars to his shop. When his bosses at John Deere Planter & Plow started letting him leave early from work to fix their personal vehicles, he realized that it was something that he should shift to full time.
1970s
Sons Danny & Lonnie joined the family business.
1975
Added a larger wrecker to increase towing capabilities to include heavy duties vehicles like semis.
2019
Aaron Tennant purchased Cantrell’s and moved to their current location in Colona, Illinois. Cantrell’s shares the same facility with B&B Truck & Trailer. Aaron is in the driver’s seat of a wrecker more often than his office in Colona.
B&B Truck & Trailer
A major benefit of the relocation to Colona is the shared operations with B&B Truck & Trailer Service. B&B Truck & Trailer Service has more than 35 years of experience getting you back on the road! Our friendly and professional team specializes in repair and maintenance services for all large-scale vehicles including semis, buses, and RVs.
