 PROFILE
United Road Services goes tow-to-tow with its rivals. Formed in 1997 to consolidate towing and transport service companies, the company tows, stores, and impounds vehicles through 35 facilities in 20 states. United Road Services also conducts lien sales, auctions abandoned vehicles, and transports new, used, and specialty vehicles and heavy construction equipment. It serves leasing and insurance companies, car dealers, law enforcement agencies, auto auction companies, and individual drivers. An aggressive acquisition strategy has left the company in dire straits: It is counting on revenue from a $25 million stock sale to investment group KPS, giving KPS a controlling interest, to revitalize the company.
