Towing in Flora, IL

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

What is towing, exactly?

Flora sits where US-45 and US-50 meet, which is why most breakdown calls here come off a highway rather than a side street. A truck stopped on one of those is a traffic problem before it is a repair problem, so the first thing our dispatcher asks is which road you are on and which way you are pointed.

The trucks that cover Flora also run Louisville, Fairfield, Olney, and Effingham, out to about 37 miles at Centralia. So a call from the edge of Clay 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.
