At Apple Valley Towing Service, we understand that towing a vehicle is about much more than just hooking it up and driving off. As tow truck drivers, we are responsible for the safety of the vehicle we're towing, as well as the safety of everyone else on the road.
Towing safely requires skill and precision, and there are several key steps we follow to ensure the vehicle is transported securely.
First, we ensure that the vehicle is properly secured to the tow truck. Depending on the type of vehicle, this may involve using chains or straps to safely fasten the car to the truck. In some cases, welding services may be necessary to provide extra stability. Additionally, we take special care to secure the wheels of the towed vehicle using wheel chocks or by locking them in place.
Once the vehicle is safely attached, we start the car to check that the brakes are functioning properly. We also verify that the lights and signals are working, especially when
towing at night.
During the
towing process, we drive cautiously and maintain control at all times. The towed vehicle stays aligned with the tow truck in the same lane, and we avoid sudden starts or stops. We also ensure there's a safe distance between the truck and the towed vehicle to prevent any swinging or jostling during braking or acceleration.
Lastly, we always respect the load limits of our tow trucks. Overloading is dangerous and can lead to accidents, which is why we stay within safe towing capacities.
