How We Get You Off a Busy Road

Highways are critical for long-distance travel, but they can also be places where unexpected vehicle breakdowns happen. When cars stop running within our service area, our I-575 towing assistance becomes essential for clearing the roadway and getting vehicles to safety. As a towing company, we face unique challenges on busy highways, and we rely on motorists to help ensure the process goes smoothly and safely.

How Highway Towing Works

When a car breaks down on a highway, the first step is to get help on the way. Towing starts when we get the call. Dispatch collects details about the vehicle’s location and condition so we can send the right equipment. Depending on the situation, we might use flatbed trucks, wheel-lift tow trucks, or even heavy-duty rigs for larger vehicles.

Once we arrive at the scene, we assess the vehicle’s position and condition. Highways present challenges, such as high-speed traffic and narrow shoulders. We often need to work quickly to avoid causing any delays or accidents. In I-575 towing, safety is our number one priority. Whether it’s securing the car, attaching it to the truck, or making sure other drivers are aware of the situation, we follow strict protocols to keep everyone safe.

The Challenges of Highway Towing 

One of the biggest challenges we face with I-575 towing is the sheer volume of traffic. The faster and more crowded the road, the harder it is to create a safe environment for both our team and the motorists. Drivers passing by sometimes don’t slow down enough, putting everyone at risk. 

Another issue is the space we have to work with. Shoulders can be narrow, giving us little room to maneuver. This makes it critical that we use the right equipment and carefully plan how to move the vehicle without blocking traffic. 

Weather is another factor. Rain, fog, and slick roads make towing even more hazardous. We rely on our equipment and experience to ensure that even in tough conditions, we can perform safe towing job.

What to Do When You See a Highway Tow in Progress

When you’re driving near a tow in progress, there are simple actions you can take to ensure everyone’s safety. Whether you’re passing by or waiting for a tow, your awareness can make a big difference. Most states, including Georgia, have laws requiring drivers to change lanes or reduce speed when passing emergency vehicles and tow trucks. 

  • Slow down and move over when passing a tow truck, if possible.
  • Follow state laws that require changing lanes or reducing speed near emergency vehicles and tow trucks.
  • If you’re the one being towed, stay calm and remain in your vehicle if it’s safe.
  • Turn on your hazard lights to alert other drivers.
  • Clearly communicate with the towing crew about any issues with your vehicle.
  • Stay alert and follow the crew’s instructions to help the process go smoothly.

Prevent Breakdowns with Regular Vehicle Maintenance

You can also help by keeping an eye on your vehicle’s maintenance. Avoid breakdowns on highways by regularly checking your tires, fluids, and engine. And if you find yourself stuck on the interstate, make sure to call for I-575 towing as soon as possible. The faster we can respond, the sooner we can clear the road and get you back on track.
