Trucking Industry Needs Support, Now More Than Ever
As the COVID-19 outbreak spreads across the United States, regular travel and transportation is restricted in many jurisdictions.

We might continue to see travel restrictions tighten as things progress, but for our truckers, they are working hard to maintain the transport of goods.
Pro-Tow Continues to Offer Heavy Duty Towing During COVID-19 Pandemic

Seattle Fire Trucks Needs Heavy Duty Towing Service
On November 18th, 2019, Pro-Tow was called to assist with heavy-duty towing for a disabled Fire Truck in downtown Seattle. The Fire Truck was a specially equipped Pierce Taylor Ladder Truck, so it required an extraordinary tow truck and special training to handle its recovery. Once we were able to safely secure the fire truck to our heavy-duty towing truck, we towed the truck back to the Seattle Fire Department Maintenance Department.

In this incident, on September 22, 2019, Pro-Tow responded to an emergency dispatch about a semi-truck that had gone off the road at state highway 18 and interstate 90 near Snoqualmie, WA. Fortunately, the semi-trailer was not damaged and only the back end had gone off the road. It needed an immediate semi-truck tow service to lift the trailer back on the road.

In this incident on August 16, 2019, Pro-Tow responded to a recovery of a Bobcat S450 that had accidentally rolled over, after deciding it was time for a nap.

Once recovered, the Bobcat carried on with its afternoon work without further incident.
