Welcome to Wrecker 101
Welcome to W101, an online guide to tow trucks and the equipment that goes on them. It is the goal of this site to create a sort of tutorial to give a basic idea of how to safely and efficiently use a tow truck and it's equipment. It is important to note that each company will have it's own policies and procedures based on the preferences of the people managing them. Not everyone will agree on applied practices but one thing is certain, for every rule or policy, there's a story! Good luck in the towing industry and please work hard to remain safe. Life in the crash lane can be dangerous.
