I’m Jeff McDonough, founder of TowPro Academy. Over the past 10+ years I’ve towed more than 250,000 miles.
Towing Is Part of My Everyday Life
I own a dumpster rental company, so towing is a big part of my workday. Hooking up, backing into tight driveways and job sites, and managing heavy loads on the road are things I do all the time.
Towing is also how my family gets away. We go camping many times a year, so I know what it’s like to pull a camper into a busy campground, back into a site and get everyone there safely.

Why I Built a Course
Most people who tow a boat, a camper or a utility trailer do it on a regular driver’s license. Nobody hands them a manual for the trailer side of things. They piece it together from videos, forums and advice from friends, and sometimes they learn the hard way.
Because I tow for work and for fun, I wanted one place where everyday drivers could learn it all from start to finish, at their own pace. It’s not CDL training or tow-truck training. It’s practical towing for boats, campers, travel trailers and utility trailers.
