AMERIUS, GA, January 29, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Martin D. Peacock, chief executive officer of Peacock Towing Inc., was selected by Marquis Who's Who for a prominent feature in the Chicago Edition of The Wall Street Journal, published on January 28, 2026.

Mr. Peacock is widely respected in the towing and recovery industry, drawing on over five decades of professional excellence. Gaining valuable experience riding in tow trucks from a formative age, he has since become a third-generation tow truck driver, with ambitious plans to foster the next generation of drivers. Since 1996, he has served as the chief executive officer of Peacock Towing Inc., furthering the company's reputation as a reliable name in its area and revered for its professionalism and commitment to providing leading services in tow truck operations.

Mr. Peacock's life can be defined by his dedication to preserving the history of towing and raising awareness of the profession's dangers. In 1986, he was a founding member of the International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum in Chattanooga, Tennessee, an institution that honors those who have made invaluable contributions to the towing industry and celebrates its heritage. Emphasizing that more tow truck drivers are killed than any other profession that works on the side of the highway – including those in the Department of Transportation – Mr. Peacock has played an instrumental role in the "Slow Down Move Over" campaign, raising awareness of these dangers while educating the public on proper roadside protocol.

Additionally, Mr. Peacock played a crucial role in founding the Georgia Towing Association and was instrumental in the association's merger to form the Towing and Recovery Association of Georgia, where he worked to unify towing professionals across the state of Georgia. In light of this effort, he has served on the association's board of directors since 1986, contributing to the development of its policies. In his broader community, Mr. Peacock volunteered with race recovery teams at several NASCAR tracks from 1987 to 2009 and had previously helped with recovery efforts during a flash flood in 1994, which earned him a commendation from American Towman Magazine.

Having completed coursework in automobile, automotive mechanics, technology and technician studies at South Georgia Technical College and in business and commerce at Georgia Southwestern State University, Mr. Peacock also holds numerous certifications. He possesses a private pilot's license and certification as an underwater recovery diver, enabling him to perform specialized recovery operations. Due to his wide breadth of knowledge, he was featured in the article "Help is on the Way" by Sumter County Living in 2021.

Mr. Peacock was recently recognized among Who's Who of Humanitarians and Philanthropists. Looking ahead, he intends to further the impact of Peacock Towing Inc., serving more regions and continuing to educate the public on laws for roadside workers. In addition to these plans, he would like to travel extensively across the world alongside his wife, Rhoda.
