Flatbed Towing Vallejo, CA
In some cases the vehicle may be a little large for regular tow truck, or the vehicle may have been too damaged for a medium duty tower. Also, a medium duty tower is not used for distances of any real length; for trips over ten or twenty miles a flatbed truck may be used instead. Flatbed towing is used when the regular truck is just not up to the challenge and the vehicle needs to be better secured. However, flatbed trucks are rarely used because of their size, thus requiring that the drivers obtain a special license. The trucks are also more expensive than regular trucks, especially if they have a winch attached as some do.
All of this means that while a flatbed is more efficient than a regular tow truck it is also less likely to be used unless specifically requested. Nonetheless most tow companies do have some sort of flatbed towing available and they are used to the best possible effect. Flatbed trucks are essentially the last resort and used only when there are no other options. Of special note is that sometimes towing companies do work with independent contractors with their own flatbed trucks, especially for long-distance vehicle shipping; this ensures that the job gets done. In short, there is always a flatbed available for whatever it may be needed for. |
