3 Key Questions To Ask Your Towing Company

JEC Transport • March 1, 2024

The logistics of heavy haulage present unique challenges, making it important to choose a reliable towing company. Asking the right questions can provide clarity, ensure your peace of mind and facilitate a smooth transport process. In this blog, we’ll delve into the three most important questions to ask your towing company and why they hold such significance.

1. Is Heavy Haulage Towing Available?

When dealing with the transport of large and heavy goods, it's essential to ensure your chosen company provides heavy haulage. If they don't, you might be left stranded with a load that can't be moved.

What You Should Look For

It's not just about whether they offer this service. You want to make sure they have the proper equipment and capabilities to handle your heavy haulage needs. This could include a fleet of powerful towing vehicles or staff with specialised training.

2. How Do You Ensure Safety and Compliance in Towing Operations?

When it comes to heavy haulage towing, safety and compliance are critical. These are the areas where you cannot afford to cut corners. A reputable company will prioritise safety measures and follow all relevant regulations, ensuring a smooth, risk-free experience.


By asking this question, you give the towing company a chance to demonstrate their commitment to your safety and the safety of your cargo. You'll want to hear about certifications, regular vehicle inspections and a robust system for monitoring compliance with local and national laws.

3. What Emergency Support and Recovery Options Do You Provide?

While we always hope to avoid them, accidents may occur. When they do, a speedy and efficient response is essential to minimise any potential damage or delay. Therefore, it's always wise to ask your towing company about their emergency support and recovery options.

Key Points to Consider

  • The company's response time in case of an emergency.
  • What recovery options do they offer?
  • Their availability—can they provide support 24/7?
  • Whether or not these services come at an additional cost.
