CHOOSING THE RIGHT TOW TRUCK

It's a tough job to transport a vehicle from one place to another.  Road debris can leave scratches and marks in the paint if you are using another car to drag a vehicle.  It can also lead to wheel or transmission damage.  You can avoid most of these issues by using a tow truck, as they are specially designed for these types of jobs.  They can handle the weight of cars, pick-up trucks & equipment and make the task of transporting easy.

There are many types of tow trucks for lightweight towing, but flatbed towing is the preferred method of towing. It involves  a truck equipped with a flatbed on its rear end to transport vehicles from one location to another.  Using flatbed tow trucks is essential and has many benefits.

PREVENTING FURTHER DAMAGE
Flatbed towing ensures that all wheels of the towed vehicle are placed onto the platform of the tow truck.  When transporting a vehicle using a hook and chain type tow truck, there is a high chance that the bumper of the towed vehicle will be damaged when the truck drives over a road bump or a pothole.  That's not the case with a flatbed tow truck.  When using flatbed towing, it is guaranteed that there will be no tire wear or damage to the transmission, engine parts or ignition system.

SAFETY FIRST
Flatbed towing is quite possibly the safest choice available when transporting vehicles.  This method ensures better safety of other road users while transporting a vehicle.  When the towed vehicle is firmly strapped on the platform of the flatbed truck, there is no chance of vehicle swaying which limits the risk to pedestrians and passing cars.

SOMETIMES IT'S THE ONLY OPTION
Unlike other towing methods such as dollies, the wheels of the car are not required to be running during the tow when using flatbed tow trucks.  In some cases, when the vehicle has a broken axle, flatbed towing is the only way of hauling it.

SAVING TIME
If you are using a dolly for towing, removing the drive shaft of the vehicle is essential, in order to prevent transmission damage.  With flatbed towing, there are no such hassles.  Loading a vehicle on a flatbed tow truck is relatively easy.
