"Best Choice Towing"
::READING::
Rasmi and his brother Aamir moved to the United States in 1997. Soon after they
arrived, Rasmi got a job driving a cab and Aamir got a job driving a catering truck. The
brothers worked long hours and saved their money. After five years, they had $85,000,
and they were ready to buy a business. They decided to buy two used tow trucks and
start a towing company. They painted the trucks blue and had gold lettering painted on
the doors. They called the company Best Choice Towing. For the first several years,
they drove the tow trucks themselves. Eventually, they bought more trucks and started
leasing them to drivers. Soon the brothers were each earning over $100,000 a year.
