Accident Towing in Hammond, IL

Everything a fleet manager or owner-operator needs to know before booking a accident towing call in Hammond.

What is accident towing, exactly?

US-36 carries most of the freight through Hammond, and it generates most of the calls. A truck stopped on it is a traffic problem before it is a repair problem, so the first thing our dispatcher asks is where exactly you are and which direction you were heading.

The trucks that cover Hammond also run Lovington, Atwood, Bement, and Decatur, out to about 30 miles at Urbana. So a call from the edge of Piatt County reaches the same people as one from the middle of town, and you are not handed off to a different dispatcher because of a county line.

How to choose a rescuer

• Insurance current. GL, auto, workers comp.
• DOT-compliant if they're towing or running service trucks over CDL weight.
• 24/7 dispatch with a real human, not a callback queue.
• Transparent pricing, you should get a confirmed dispatch fee before the truck rolls.
• Local, a service truck 60 miles away isn't going to beat the regional benchmark.
