When most people picture a tow truck, they picture the same basic setup: a truck, a hook, maybe a flatbed. That image works fine for a sedan. It falls apart completely once you’re talking about a fully loaded semi, an overturned dump truck, or a piece of construction equipment stuck off the shoulder. Heavy-duty towing…
Introduction One of the most common — and costly — mistakes in a roadside emergency is calling the wrong type of tow truck. It’s an easy mistake to make. Most drivers have only ever dealt with standard towing, so when something bigger goes wrong, the instinct is still to call “a tow truck” without thinking…
