Towing in Mount Vernon, IL

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

What is towing, exactly?

Mount Vernon is a small town of 14,740 in Jefferson County, and breakdowns here happen on county roads and in yards more often than on an interstate. That changes the job: there is usually somewhere safe to work, and the drive out to you is the part that takes the time.

The trucks that cover Mount Vernon also run Ina, Sesser, Centralia, and Central City, out to about 22 miles at Salem. So a call from the edge of Jefferson 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.
