We may have made it through January, but winter is far from over. There are still plenty of chances to get caught in bad weather, no matter how well you’re prepared. Luckily, local towing companies are also prepared for the winter weather. Companies like D&R Towing take several measures to ensure the safety of their drivers and their customers during winter winter weather. Weather conditions have a significant impact on towing services, so you can rest assured that our team at D&R Towing is prepared.
Accidents happen, even when you’re careful. Here’s how towing companies keep everyone safe in bad weather conditions.
Equipping Tow Trucks with Winter-Ready Gear
Tow trucks are outfitted with snow chains, all-terrain tires, and other specialized equipment to handle icy or snowy roads. This equipment improves traction and helps prevent the trucks from getting stuck or losing control so they can rescue you without putting anyone in further danger. It might seem excessive when you see our trucks driving around town, but you’ll be glad we went to the effort if you get caught in the ice and snow.
Comprehensive Driver Training
We provide drivers with specialized training on how to handle challenging winter conditions, such as driving on icy roads, navigating through snowdrifts, or recovering vehicles from slippery spots. Drivers are taught to adjust speed, keep extra distance between vehicles, and be extra cautious when performing recoveries in hazardous weather. Winter weather conditions make everything more challenging, and additional training is one of the best ways to prepare.
Weather Monitoring and Route Planning
Watching the weather lets us know when to expect dangerous road conditions. By monitoring the weather in real time, we can adjust routes, reschedule services, and send out drivers when it’s safe to do so. We also provide drivers with weather forecasts and road conditions before they head out so they can avoid high-risk areas on their way to assist you.
