So, you call a towing company and ask for a price.

They give you the price, and you say, “That’s too expensive!”

Too expensive based on what, though?

Based on the fact that you’ve never had to pay for a tow before?
Based on dinner for two costing $100–$150?

A plumber, HVAC company, electrician, or repair shop can charge $150–$200 per hour—and nobody expects them to work for the cost of materials.

We pay nearly $200 per hour when our tow trucks go into the repair shop. Then add commercial insurance, fuel, tires, equipment, maintenance, licensing, and hourly wages for our drivers.

Even if your vehicle is only being towed 10 or 20 miles, the job involves more than driving those miles. It takes time to travel to you, load and secure the vehicle, transport it, and unload it. Loading and unloading alone can take 10–15 minutes each.

Some dealerships and repair shops also make our drivers wait or move vehicles before they can unload. Suddenly, that “short tow” has taken quite a bit of time.

If you’re stuck in mud, a ditch, snow, or water, the price depends on the equipment needed, number of trucks, time involved, difficulty, risk, and distance.

But again…“too expensive” based on what?

Sure, your buddy might pull you out with his pickup and a tow rope for a 12-pack of b**r. 😂

A professional towing company arrives with trained operators, commercial trucks, insurance, and the proper equipment to safely complete the job.

You aren’t only paying for the miles—you’re paying for the people, equipment, experience, and responsibility required to get the job done right.

🌧️ Rain all night and rain on and off throughout the day!

Please stay alert and slow down. Standing water can cause your vehicle to hydroplane—especially on fresh blacktop.

Take your time, leave extra distance, and drive safely!

Here’s a scenario that happens far too often:

You have full coverage on your 2025 vehicle. You’re involved in an accident, call your insurance company, and file a claim. But instead of handling the tow as part of that claim, they transfer you to their roadside-assistance department—and suddenly you’re being told to pay $400 or $500 out of pocket to get your vehicle to a body shop.

Don’t automatically accept that answer.

Roadside assistance and an accident claim are two different things. If the accident is a covered loss, the towing bill may be covered under the claim, subject to your policy and deductible. You need to make sure the tow is being handled through the claims department—not simply treated as an ordinary roadside call.

When you call Brandon Towing after an accident, we can tow your vehicle to our secured lot or directly to the body shop of your choice. We can also work with the insurance adjuster so payment can be handled through the claim whenever your policy allows it.

Most people have never dealt with this before, and they don’t know what questions to ask. That can leave you paying hundreds of dollars out of pocket unnecessarily.

Know your coverage. Ask questions. Get your claim number. Talk directly to your adjuster—and don’t be afraid to fight for the coverage you’ve been paying for.

🚨 HERE’S HOW DIESEL PRICES WILL AFFECT EVERYONE 🚨

Let’s put the price of diesel into real numbers.

A semi traveling 500 miles per day and averaging 6 MPG burns about 83 gallons of diesel every day.

A month ago, diesel was around $4 per gallon.

Now it’s approximately $6.50 per gallon.

That same owner-operator is now spending an additional:

💰 $208 MORE every single day
💰 $1,042 MORE over 5 working days
💰 $2,083 MORE over 10 working days

At $4 per gallon, fuel for 10 days cost approximately $3,333.

At $6.50 per gallon, that same fuel costs approximately $5,417.

That is over $2,000 in additional expenses—and that is only fuel.

It does not include the truck payment, trailer payment, insurance, permits, tires, maintenance, repairs, taxes or the driver trying to earn a living.

This isn’t just a truck-driver problem.

Nearly everything we buy is transported by truck at some point. Food, clothing, building supplies, vehicle parts, medicine and everyday household products all have to be delivered.

Some trucking companies may absorb the added cost temporarily, but they cannot absorb it forever. Eventually, freight rates and fuel surcharges increase, and those costs work their way down to stores and consumers.

When diesel goes up, the cost of nearly everything eventually follows.

That’s the honest reality.
