Pro-Tow’s Fleet Services Helps New Semi-Truck Owners

Working in the heavy transport industry can be challenging and rewarding. New semi-truck owners are needed to fill gaps in the trucking industry, and Team Pro-Tow’s fleet services can help. Here’s how:

24-Hour Heavy-Duty Towing

Any experienced trucker will tell you that their first days on the job were stressful! There is a lot to learn and remember, and that road can be long! Unfortunately, accidents happen, and things can go wrong. The good news is that Pro-Tow has your back.

We offer 24-hour emergency heavy-duty towing services. If your truck breaks down, slides off the road or gets stuck, we will help you out of those sticky situations. Our fleet services include semi-truck towing, accident recovery, and equipment recovery.

Mobile Repair Services

Motorplex is our fleet repair and maintenance division, and we have shops in Auburn and Spokane, Washington. However, our team of technicians can hit the road and head out to wherever needed in Washington State. If your truck breaks down, for whatever reason, and you need a repair on the side of the road, we are just a call away.

If we can’t fix the truck on-site, our operators and tow vehicles are equipped to haul your truck to one of our shops. New semi-truck owners can rest easy knowing we’ve got your back.

Load Services

Ensuring your cargo is loaded properly, weight distributed evenly, and tied down correctly is vital to a successful trip. If something happens on the road and that load shifts, we’ll be there. Our complete fleet services include load shift
and cargo re-load services. We can do it on the site of the road, in your yard, or wherever you need us to. We have the equipment to assist with cranes, bobcats and more.

Travel with Peace of Mind

We hope you don’t need our heavy-duty towing services, but if you do, new semi-truck owners will have peace of mind knowing we’re available. Contact us to learn more about how we can support you as you embark on this exciting and rewarding career in the transport industry!

Reasons to Call for Heavy-Duty Towing in Winter

Reasons to Call for Heavy-Duty Towing in Winter

Like with any season of the year, there are both positives and negatives that heavy-duty truck drivers will come up against. In the winter, snow, ice, and extreme cold present their own challenges for drivers. From icy roads to unpredictable conditions, having a heavy-duty towing company on hand in case of an emergency is a huge asset.

At Pro-Tow, we serve Washington State with fleet repair and maintenance shops in Spokane and Auburn. Our professional and reliable towing services are available 24/7. Here, we discuss why you may need heavy-duty towing during winter.

Breakdown

Though a breakdown can happen for several reasons at any time of year, winter weather can certainly cause malfunctions on the road. Some of the most common problems heavy-duty drivers experience include engine and brake problems, battery, electrical or tire issues. In some cases, our mobile repair team from Motorplex can fix your problems at the site of the breakdown. However, if the problem is more serious, your repairs may need to be completed at a repair shop.

Pro-Tow has the experience and equipment to tow any vehicle. We are equipped for light auto to full semi-truck recovery. Our team of professionals can also complete on-site repairs. Or, if more extensive repairs are needed, we can tow your truck to the nearest Motorplex, our division specializing in heavy truck, RV and fleet repair services. We have locations in Auburn and Spokane.

Stuck in Ice or Snow

In the winter, sliding into a snowy ditch or getting stuck in the snow is perhaps the most common reason you will need heavy-duty towing. Like any vehicle, trucks are susceptible to sliding off the road and driving into a snowbank. Trucks can also get stuck in a loading yard if the conditions create sticky or muddy ground.

In all these cases, you want a reliable towing company on your speed dial – like Pro-Tow! This way, you can rest assured the company on its way has the right equipment and experienced staff members to get you back on the road as quickly and safely as possible.

Accident

Unfortunately, accidents happen, and winter roads are often the culprit. Whether minor or major, Pro-Tow has your back if that happens.

We specialize in semi-truck recovery and will always ensure you and your vehicle are towed from the accident scene safely. This includes when your vehicle is involved in a major rollover or the accident creates a hazardous spill requiring spill recovery. If this is the case, our spill response division, Pro-Enviro, will also be on the job. We’ll take all the safe and necessary steps for vehicle and spill recovery.

At Pro-Tow, you can count on us at any hour of the day, all days of the year. On top of emergency towing and on-site repairs, we also offer long-distance transport, load transfer, cargo salvage, and short-term vehicle and cargo storage.

Revisited Crane Lift Recovery: Pro-Tow Fishes for Box Trucks

Revisited Crane Lift Recovery: Pro-Tow Fishes for Box Trucks

In August 2019, we published a heavy-duty truck recovery report for a box truck recovery requiring an expert recovery plan and crane lift service. Pro-Tow needed to perform a full crane lift to pull a box truck out of this mess.

The box truck had flipped over before landing down the watery ditch. And, once it was off-road, the front of the truck got stuck inside a large bush. This caused damage to the box and the connection between the box and the truck. Pro-Tow came in with our crane to lift the box truck back to the road fully.

Prevent Shifting Loads

How you load your truck – especially a box truck with a high center of gravity — can mean the difference between a safe and stable truck on the road and one that is not. If loads are not properly balanced, there is a higher risk that a truck will flip over when on the road. Then you’ll need heavy-duty truck recovery.

For drivers, a few tips can help you prevent a shifting load. Before driving away, performing a detailed inspection of your cargo is crucial. First, make sure to check the weight of the cargo against the weight limits specified by your truck’s manufacturer. Next, you want to ensure that your cargo is evenly distributed and well-secured. Another tip is to inspect your straps and other tying materials. You want to ensure that they are all in good condition and will not loosen or break during transport.

Pro-Tow Load Shift Services

If you are on the road and suspect your load has shifted, call Pro-Tow! Our professional team will come to your aid quickly! We offer 24/7 emergency services and use the most up-to-date and specialized equipment to rebalance a load on the road and ensure you can continue your transport safely! A sharp turn or sudden stop can shift a load. Pull over safely and inspect your load, and if you think there might have been a shift, if you’re even a little unsure, it’s important to call us!

Crane Lift Recovery

If an accident happens due to a shifting load or something else, Pro-Tow’s trained operators are on hand. As you can see from the pictures and videos of this crane lift recovery, we are ready and equipped to handle even the trickiest and most highly specialized heavy-duty truck recovery jobs. When you need a tow of any kind, Pro-Tow is here!

Things to Know When Transporting a Classic Car

Things to Know When Transporting a Classic Car

When you own a classic or luxury car, it’s more than just a car. It’s a valuable asset that needs the proper care and upkeep. That’s why, when you need to transport or tow your valuable vehicle, you want a trustworthy company to ensure a stress-free classic car towing process.

We recently responded to a call regarding towing a classic car. The owner was pleased with the service and left us a positive Google review!

Here are some things to know when transporting a classic or luxury vehicle:

Find the Right Transport Company

Towing a luxury vehicle or classic car comes with a certain amount of knowledge and understanding of the car. That’s where Pro-Tow comes in. We have extensive knowledge and a proven track record for safely and effectively moving rare and valuable vehicles. Our highly-trained operators will ensure your vehicle is carefully rigged and moved without causing any damage.

Remove Any Valuables

Pro-Tow will do everything possible to protect and secure your vehicle on transport. However, it’s still worth removing any valuables or loose items before loading it and towing a classic car. That can help make your car lighter, but, most importantly, there will be no risk of misplacing valuable items during your classic car towing. In addition, you don’t want loose objects in the vehicle while it is lifted and moved.

Learn About Transport Options

When towing a classic car, it’s essential to have a suitable mode of transport. Flatbed trailers are most common in luxury or classic car transport. Some owners prefer to have their vehicles transported in a closed container to eliminate the risk of damage from rocks or outdoor elements on the drive. Ask Pro-Tow about our equipment and towing options.

Pro-Tow Ensures Peace of Mind

Pro-Tow prioritizes safety foremost and ensures putting their customers’ minds at ease. When you need a trusted company to handle your classic car towing needs, or if you require emergency towing, call Team Pro-Tow.

What You Need to Know About Heavy Equipment Hauling

What You Need to Know About Heavy Equipment Hauling

When you need to haul heavy equipment, it is no small task. You require knowledgeable operators and specialized equipment. Keeping safety a top priority is critical. Operators must load, secure, transport the load efficiently and comply with local regulations.

Team Pro-Tow specializes in crane lift services, heavy-duty towing, heavy equipment recovery and heavy equipment hauling. You’ve got it covered if you need something heavy lifted, loaded, and moved.

What is Considered “Heavy?”

Heavy equipment is typically something that weighs over 5,000 pounds. For example, it could be an excavator, tractor, or other heavy construction equipment. When loads are heavier than this, like 10,000 pounds or more, the operator must have specific certification and training to do the job. For example, they must know how to distribute the weight properly and safely secure the load for transport. Without the proper know-how, safety can be an issue.

Following Regulations

The load’s weight, size and dimensions will determine which Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations you’ll need to follow for heavy equipment hauling. In addition, oversized equipment or cargo sometimes needs a permit for transportation, depending on the state you’re registered in and traveling through. These are things Team Pro-Tow can help you determine when we perform heavy equipment recovery or hauling.

Double (Triple) Check

When a massive load or a piece of heavy equipment is on a flatbed trailer, we double and triple-check to ensure it is secured properly. We check anchor points, rigging and securing anything that might become loose during transport. It must be loaded and secured and compliant with DOT regulations.

Choose the Best for Heavy Equipment Recovery

If you need something big moved out of an awkward spot or transported to another site, choose Pro-Tow for heavy equipment hauling. We have extensive experience, trained and certified operators, and crane-style wreckers to get the equipment on the trailer. We can handle semi-tractors, loaded trailers, construction equipment, heavy machinery, and more.
If it’s big and heavy, and you need it moved, call Team Pro-Tow!

What Happens When Your Car Gets Towed After an Accident?

What Happens When Your Car Gets Towed After an Accident?

Getting into a motor vehicle accident can be stressful and overwhelming. If your vehicle is badly damaged, an accident recovery company like Team Pro-Tow will tow it from the scene.

Understanding what happens when you call for emergency towing after an accident will help you keep a clear head and ensure a smoother process afterward.

Choose a Reliable Autobody Shop

Planning where to take your cars for potential repairs can help relieve stress. If you have a preferred body shop, ask your tow truck driver to tow it there directly from the scene. That way, you won’t have to worry about getting it towed a second time to get it fixed. Bringing it to the right place will save time and, sometimes, money. If you don’t have a shop in mind, ask our team. We have provided accident recovery services for a long time and can recommend a reliable body shop.

Get Details from the Towing Truck Operator

If you didn’t call for the emergency towing yourself, you should get the contact information from the tow truck driver. Write down their name, company, phone number, and other driver information. That way, you’ll know who to call to confirm the whereabouts of your vehicle should issues arise.

Alert Your Insurance Company

Your insurance company can guide you through what to do next if you’ve just been in an accident. Give them the details of what happened, ask for guidance, and tell them where the accident recovery company is taking your car. That way, your company can contact the repair shop directly if they need to during the adjustment and claims process.

In addition, ask them if your policy covers the towing fee. Many policies do, but there might be limitations. Be sure to ask what you must do to ensure your policy covers towing and storage fees. Document all your communication, if possible.

What If It Can’t Be Repaired?

If the damage is too severe or law enforcement requests it, the emergency towing company might take your car to an impound lot. For example, the police might need to quickly tow all damaged vehicles off the scene to ensure the area’s safety or start traffic flow.

If this is the case, ask your tow truck driver and any officer at the scene where the vehicle will go. Then, call the facility to understand their hours, storage fees, and what documents you need to get your vehicle out of there.
