Make Towing Much Easier!
Like a lot of things in life, towing your vehicle or truck will require planning. For example, you have to wait until the right time of day to tow it, choose a tow truck that can accommodate the task, and consult the tire repair manual. To help make your plan much easier, here are some towing tips:
When towing, check your tires, too.
Always inspect your tires before towing your vehicle. If there is any indication of a flat, it will be important to have it repaired before towing. Also, inspect the roadside assistance programs of your towing service provider. The written policies of most towing service providers include procedures for handling flat tires, which include the need to contact roadside assistance prior to towing a vehicle.
When towing, make sure of your safe distance.
An established towing safety policy is never to get too close to a vehicle that is being towed. The tow truck driver will take all necessary precautions to avoid entanglement, but the chances of getting too close are always present. If a situation arises that requires the driver to stop the tow truck and get out, it may be necessary to do so.
When towing, plan the tow route carefully, and tell your roadside assistance provider.
Before towing your vehicle, make sure you have a clear plan of action that includes the name of your roadside assistance provider, where they can be reached, and a phone number where they can be reached directly. Also, tell them of any traffic patterns or unusual roadway features that may have a bearing on your destination.
When towing, make sure you have read the owner’s manual on emergency vehicle towing.
Even if your vehicle is not an emergency vehicle, it may be necessary to follow the procedures in the emergency vehicle towing manual. The towing safety policy manual for your vehicle should contain emergency procedures that may include having the vehicle headlights on or flashing.
