Safety RemindersBe a patient driver. It can save lives. Driving defensively means looking out for the other drivers and anticipate what they may do. If you aren't sure, never commit until the other car has completed its action.
Be on the lookout for motorcycles. It can be hard to see motorcycles when making turns, when looking in your mirrors and even when meeting them on the street. Always allow plenty of room when following a motorcycle on the highway. Safety kits should be stored in your car or truck. If your vehicle breaks down, you will be thankful that you have jumper cables, flashlight with fresh batteries, reflective triangles and a brightly colored cloth to signal for help. Also carry a couple bottled water. If traveling in the winter, also consider adding blankets, matches and flares. Keep your car maintenance up to date: change the oil on a regular schedule, check the tire pressure level often, keep wiper fluid levels high to maintain good visibility and watch your cars alerts and gauges for important information or warning signs. Don't Drink and Drive! This goes without saying. Safe driving requires you to have a clear head and drunk or even buzzed drivers are proven to have more accidents. Always designate a sober driver or hire a car service if you've been drinking. |
Towing TermsLight Duty Tow Truck - can handle most small to large cars and smaller to average size trucks
Medium Duty Tow Truck - best for larger trucks & small commercial vehicles Heavy Duty Tow Truck - used for semi's, tractors and large farm equipment Tow Truck Ratings - the amount that a truck can tow is based on the GVWR (Gross vehicle weight rating). That includes the weight of the two truck and the vehicle being towed. Note that this is the maximum - actual safe weights are usually less than the ratings. Axle Ratings - each axle also has an amount that the tow truck is rated to carry. This is called the GAWR (Gross axle weight rating). The combination of the two axles adds up to the GVWR in Light Duty Tow Trucks. Boom - a structural part of the tow truck that comes out from the mast (which is the part of the vehicle that holds boom and winches) to support the vehicle. Winch - the mechanical device that winds and unwinds the cable which is used to lift vehicles. Wheel-Lift - this metal yoke device tows a vehicle by lifting either the front or rear end by the wheels. This leaves the other wheels in contact with the ground during the tow. |
Pricing
Our price can vary based on type of vehicle, size of vehicle, how hard it is to get to vehicle, time of day and distance towed. A large percentage of tows for passenger vehicles start at $125 ("hookup fee") plus a cost per mile towed. There are several factors which could change that cost for you. Please call us to discuss your situation.

Our Safety
Tow trucks play a critical role in keeping our roads safe by quickly and efficiently removing disabled vehicles from the side of the road. However, the safety of both the tow truck operator and the vehicle being towed are of the utmost importance. Below, we discuss the safety requirements that tow truck operators in Avon must adhere to when picking up vehicles that have broken down or been involved in an accident on the side of the road.
One of the most important safety requirements for tow truck operators is proper training. All tow truck drivers in Avon must be trained and certified in the operation of their vehicles and the proper techniques for safely towing disabled vehicles. This includes training in the proper use of safety equipment, such as straps, chains, and dollies, as well as training in the proper procedures for securing the vehicle being towed to the tow truck.
Another important aspect of tow truck safety is the use of proper equipment. All tow trucks in Avon must be equipped with the necessary tools and equipment to safely remove disabled vehicles from the side of the road. This includes things like chains, straps, and dollies, as well as specialized equipment like winches and boom arms. In addition, all tow trucks must be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure that they are in good working condition and able to perform their tasks safely.
When on scene of an accident, safety of the operators and any potential victims are key priorities. Before approaching a broken-down or accident vehicle, the tow truck operator must ensure that it is safe to do so. This includes checking for hazards such as leaking fluids or live electrical wires, and taking precautions to protect themselves from any potential dangers. They must also be aware of their surroundings, including the flow of traffic, and take appropriate steps to ensure their own safety and the safety of other road users.
It is also important for the tow truck operator to properly secure the vehicle being towed before moving it. This includes ensuring that all wheels are properly chocked, and that the vehicle is properly secured to the tow truck using straps or chains. In addition, all lights and signals on the vehicle being towed must be working properly to ensure that other drivers are aware that the vehicle is being towed and can take appropriate actions to avoid a collision.
Another important aspect of tow truck safety is the use of proper communication protocols. Tow truck operators in Avon must have the proper radio equipment and use clear and concise language when communicating with other vehicles on the road, as well as with their dispatch and other tow truck operators. This helps to ensure that everyone is aware of the location and status of the tow truck and the vehicle being towed, and can take appropriate actions to ensure everyone's safety.
In conclusion, tow truck safety is essential when towing a vehicle broke down or involved in an accident. Tow truck operators in Avon must adhere to strict safety guidelines, including proper training, the use of proper equipment, and clear communication protocols. By following these guidelines, tow truck operators can help to keep our roads safe and ensure the well-being of both themselves and the vehicle being towed. Regular maintenance of the trucks and equipment, checking for hazards before approaching a vehicle, securing the vehicle properly and paying attention to surroundings will help to ensure safety on the roads of Avon.
