amongst his office staff, as well as his towing & transport
operator personnel, through continuing education, training
and certification in various areas related to the improvement
of customer service, task efficiency and job safety within the

“Recognition as a true professional in our business today

in that are in-sync with approved and accepted tow operator
certification in all aspects of our industry.”
“As for customer service, I stress to all of my employees
that owner’s of vehicle’s impounded, for one reason or
another, by local law enforcement officials are as much our
customer’s as those who request our services voluntarily

demand, and deserve, our respect for their property.”

ALEX BASALLO
General Manager
eMail: alex@allfloridatowing.com
Originally hired as an Emergency Roadside Service technician in 2002, Alex Basallo, returns to All Florida Towing as part of our management team.
Upon being very successful in his assignment as an ERS tech in the greater West Palm Beach area, Alex made a smooth transition into handling calls-for-service as a tow truck operator. His great proficiency with the operation of towing equipment and associated apparatus, as well as his efficient service, eventually lead to his re-assignment to our Heavy-Equipment Transport division in 2004.
Time and again, Alex has demonstrated the personal values and quality leadership skills that our personnel and customers have learned to appreciate and respect. His ability to quickly analyze a problem and to make the proper adjustments in relation to such while in the field made Alex an invaluable asset. In addition, his willingness to always lend a “helping hand” to his co-workers, made Mr. Basallo a very popular person at All Florida Towing.
In 2006, Alex left All Florida Towing and started his own heavy-equipment transportation company, Caroline Transport. Despite his success with Caroline Transport, Alex found that being the owner of a business took away “quality time” that was needed for his family. When the opportunity presented itself, Alex returned to our company in January of 2009 as the General Manager.
It is our pleasure to welcome Alex back into our family here at All Florida Towing.
