Dorothy Fulford, who along with husband Brian has been in the towing business in for 30 years, is es of the Durham Region Towing Association, self: regulating body consist- ing of 28 Durham Region companies. The association was formed recently in "response to iy in the industry, Mrs. Fulford said in an interview. she said the association works toward establishing and maintaining standards of conduct for operators. It's hoped those standards will help with the public's perception of towing com- panies, she said. "The problem is that there are a lot of (accident) chasers on the 401, and they're very unscrupulous in the way they deal with the public," she said. "This is a self- Tegulating asso- ciation: ¥ "It's for the public more than anyone else." Members of the DRTA form the body of towing companies that Whitby ove: .
