When you think of a towing service, it’s easy to underestimate just how many services they provide. Car trouble can happen when we least expect it, but that doesn’t just refer to a vehicle break down. Towing companies provide many additional roadside services as well. Understanding the true nature of towing services is essential to roadside safety, especially at Doug Yates Towing & Recovery. Let’s discuss five of the most uncommon towing reasons to call a truck and how you can prevent it.
Depending on the situation, location, and type of vehicle—there are several types of tow trucks. It is best to know ahead of time whether a tow service can meet your needs, so always call ahead. Also, look out for these different tow trucks offered:
Light-Duty Tow Trucks
Just as the name implies, light-duty trucks are used for smaller vehicles such as typical passenger cars or small trucks. These are great for tows in tight, urban spaces and handle vehicles that are stuck, broken down, or hit with a flat tire.
Emergency Response Trucks
There are a few different kinds of hazardous material spills that result from traffic accidents. These usually entail spills of vehicle fluids, hazardous material cargoes, or a combination of both. To clean up and get the roads back to normal, Doug Yates Emergency Spill Response Trucks are equipped to handle the job. We clean up almost any type of hazardous or dangerous spills. This includes: Oil Spills, Fuel Releases, Hazardous Material Spills, Product Transfers, Biohazard Waste Removal, Vacuum Truck Operations, and Decontamination and Disposal.
Heavy Hauling Trucks & Recovery Rotators
Construction equipment, tractor trailers, dump trucks, etc are best handled by a heavy hauling towing truck. These trucks weigh at least 26,000 lbs and pack extra horsepower for those unforeseen accidents. Most heavy-duty trucks also have a crane to lift vehicles or objects in tough-to-reach areas that most other trucks can’t get to.
Road Service Trucks
The “Road Service” Division of Doug Yates Towing & Recovery has four fully equipped service trucks with the latest technology in computer diagnostics available. If you are looking for reliable road service with complete diagnostic capability for medium and heavy-duty trucks, you have come to the right place.
