In this blog entry, the professional Chicagoland Roadside Assistance team here at Towing Chicago will provide some essential safety regulations that our towing experts follow for all of our heavy duty towing assignments.
- Ensuring the tow vehicle is capable– It’s essential to make sure that the vehicle that is pulling the load that is being towed is stable and capable of navigating the roads, without allowing the weight of the load to dictate its speed or direction. When vehicles are not capable of towing cargo, accidents are more likely to occur. Check your vehicle manual for its specific, towing capacity, payload, and the gross combination weight rating. Rest assured that our professional towing team will double check this information, and that our fleet of high-quality heavy duty towing vehicles are more than capable of towing a wide range of cargo loads.
- Towing Vehicle Maintenance – It’s important to make sure that your towing vehicle has been properly maintained in its current fashion. Towing vehicles should have coolant that is topped off, breaks it has been checked, and inspected, and oil and filters that are changed in a regular manner. Our team’s heavy duty towing vehicles are regularly maintained to provide as much safety and security to our clients as possible.
- Alert Driving – Our professional heavy duty towing technicians, maintain the highest level of industry standards to transport your vehicles in as engaged and alert a manner as possible. We scout all routes before embarking on the trip, checking it out ahead of time, in order to avoid any detours, and to ensure that the route is as safe as possible.
- Double Checking Strapping – Our team double checks all straps that keep your load in place to make sure that it won’t break away during travel. We will also check on tires, brakes, and whites. This is especially important as both truck and trailer tires have to be properly inflated to ensure that they can handle the load, especially on long-distance heavy duty towing trips.
