How quickly can a tow truck get to me in the Yakima area?

 Everybody wants to know: when they call a tow truck how fast it can get to them. The answer is it depends. Surely everybody wants a tow truck company that can reach them as quickly as possible. Every situation is unique and there are a  variety of different factors which must be considered when figuring the amount of time it will take for a tow truck to reach you. Depending on the different variables it might take longer or shorter for a tow truck to reach the scene. Following is a list of different things to take into consideration when determining how quickly a tow truck can respond to you for towing or roadside assistance. 

1. The first thing to consider when determining a tow trucks response time is the number of tow trucks available in the towing fleet.  If the tow truck company you call is a small company, they may only have one two trucks that are doing jobs.  Or, if you have a specialty job, such as heavy equipment or semi truck towing there may only be one truck in the fleet which is capable of these duties.  This is important to consider because if there is limited tow trucks then they may be already tied up doing different jobs, which will limit the tow trucks response time.
2. The second factor which will be important to consider when estimating a tow truck response time is distance.  How close is the tow truck to the vehicle which is in need of the tow?  Obviously the closer the truck is the scene, the faster it will be able to respond.
3. A third important variable which will contribute to the speed of a tow trucks response is what lies between the tow truck and its destination.  If a wide open highway is the only thing between the tow truck and the client then the response time will be very quick.  If that wide open highway is instead congested with rush hour traffic, then the response time will be slower.  If the highway is clogged with traffic as the result of an accident or a construction project, the response will be even slower still. A tow truck moving through the city will respond to a scene slower than if it was just navigating the freeway, due to traffic lights and slower speed limits.
4. A fourth important contribution to response time that must be considered is the weather.  A tow truck can only move as fast as the conditions safely allow.  Severe rains or a snow storm will prevent a large vehicle like a tow truck from moving at a normal pace because the roads will be too slick.  Tow truck drivers must respect road conditions in order to avoid additional accidents, as tow trucks are supposed to be the ones saving the day!
