A day in the life of a tow truck driver

What to do if you're stuck on the side of the road

2/12/2017

 
First of all, do not panic and stay calm. It is necessary to look at the situation from aside and start to act immediately. Trouble on the road can happen to anyone, and it means that you have to be prepared for different kinds of situations. Always have the phone number of a professional towing service that can provide you with a tow truck or any other kind of roadside assistance. 
  • Road accidents are different and require a special approach from the person who comes to help you. Therefore, the main thing you need to do is call a tow truck company that can find a solution to your problem. Our tow truck company in Scottsdale, AZ is always there for you. We will not make you stand on the road for hours even if you call us in the middle of the night. Basically, whatever trouble you have, there is a solution on our side, ranging from fuel delivery, any kind of roadside assistance, or even a battery jump start. 
  • Your next step after you call a roadside assistance is to park your car on a shoulder and warn all other drivers about an accident on the road. By doing this, you first of all, protect yourself and the people you are with. So turn on hazard lights and if you have one, put a hazard sign behind your car. It should give a signal to the drivers that there is car on the shoulder. 
  • If an accident has happened to you during a night time, you should be extra careful. As one option, you can turn on emergency flares and put out a safety sign that is visible to the cars moving towards you. 
  • Windy, frosty, rainy weather is another challenge during a road accident. So while waiting for a tow truck, it is better that you stay inside your car after having put hazard signs and turning on the lights. In the Phoenix area, however, snow is not something to be worried about.
