Towing in Hobart, IN

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

What is towing, exactly?

Hobart sits where I-65, I-80, and I-94 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 Hobart also run New Chicago, Merrillville, Lake Station, and Chicago, out to about 42 miles at Joliet. So a call from the edge of Lake 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.

What sets Hobart apart

Hobart is a city of 29,408 in Lake County, Indiana, inside the Chicago-Naperville-Elgin, IL-IN Metro Area.

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.
