For many drivers, calling a tow truck only happens during stressful moments.
Knowing what to expect when you call a tow truck in Missoula can make the process faster, safer, and less intimidating.
Here’s exactly how it works.
1. You Call and Share Basic Information
When you call Speed’s Towing, the dispatcher will ask for:
- Your location
- Vehicle type
- The issue (breakdown, stuck, accident, etc.)
- Whether the vehicle is blocking traffic
This ensures the right truck is sent the first time.
2. The Right Tow Truck Is Dispatched
Not all situations require the same equipment. Dispatch selects:
- Light-duty trucks for standard vehicles
- Recovery trucks for slide-offs or snow
- Heavy-duty trucks for RVs or large vehicles
3. You Receive an ETA
You’ll be given an estimated arrival time based on:
- Location
- Traffic
- Weather conditions
- Current call volume
Missoula winter weather can affect ETAs, but communication stays clear.
4. Safe Vehicle Hook-Up
Once on site, the operator:
- Secures the vehicle safely
- Avoids damage to suspension or drivetrain
- Ensures safe loading for winter conditions
- This is especially important for vehicles stuck off-road or in ditches.
5. Transport to Your Requested Location
Your vehicle can be taken to:
- A repair shop
- Your home
- A storage location
The destination is confirmed before transport begins.
6. Clear Communication Until the Job Is Done
Professional towing means:
- No guessing
- No hidden surprises
- Clear expectations
That’s what keeps stressful situations manageable.
