She was a cute little girl growing up in her father’s world. A world of heavy equipment and large vehicles. As soon as Aspen could reach the controls she was learning to operate some of them. At the age of fifteen she was actively helping out as much as she could. As she matured her interest in equipment and heavy machines grew until it became part of her.
Aspen Baltzly is a home grown product of the valley who went to the local school. After graduation she went on to WyoTech to take up what she loved best, working with big equipment. She studied and earned her credentials as a Diesel Mechanic and has an AA degree in Business Management. She also took courses in welding. All this training and years of hands-on experience makes her eminently qualified to run her new business which was only formed late last month.
Today the twenty six year old daughter of Brad Baltzly, Aspen, has started a business that is in great need in Custer County. A towing service. And so, BALTZLY TOWING LLC was born. Her tow truck is an International 2300 wrecker style vehicle with a boom that sports dual winches. It is fully equipped with a stinger and wheel lift which means she can handle any situation including roll overs. In fact, she already came to the rescue of a propane truck that broke down a few days ago.
When not out doing towing jobs Aspen helps her Dad run equipment in the excavation business. Aside from her extensive experience in hauling she also has a hazmat endorsement on her CDL. This is one truly capable, ambitious young lady willing to do the hard work it takes to become successful. She has filled a much needed niche in Custer since we had lost our towing services a couple of years back. For all that time those who had car problems and needed a tow had to wait for the service to be provided from Penrose. At night and in the cold weather that can be one very long wait. Take note, then, in case you ever need the help. Aspen is there for you. Just call BALTZLY TOWING LLC at 719-458-9929. That number is available 24 Hours daily. The Email address is baltzlytowing@gmail.com
