⚠️ CUSTOMER WARNING – BE CAREFUL WHO YOU HIRE FOR TOWING ⚠️

We've recently seen an increase in "local" towing companies advertising heavily online and through search engines that aren't actually local towing companies at all.

Many of these companies operate as call centers or brokers. They collect your information and payment, then turn around and hire a real local towing company to perform the work for a fraction of what you paid. In some cases, customers end up paying significantly more while the actual towing company receives only a small portion of the fee.

Before hiring a towing company, we recommend:

✅ Ask if they own and operate their own trucks.
✅ Ask where they are physically located.
✅ Check that their business has local reviews and a local presence.
✅ Be cautious of companies that refuse to provide a truck number, driver information, or local address.
✅ Request a clear quote before authorizing service.

Supporting legitimate local towing companies helps ensure better service, faster response times, and keeps your money in the local community.

At DZ Towing & Light Haul, when you call us, you're speaking directly with the company that will be performing the work. No brokers, no middlemen, and no surprise markups.

Stay safe and always know who you're hiring.

Best regards,

Tip of the week:

Adopting" a biker is a road safety practice where a driver in a passenger vehicle acts as a protective buffer for a motorcyclist. This involves following closely enough to prevent other cars from cutting in, while maintaining a safe distance to protect the rider.The concept can be broken down into these actionable steps:How to Protect a RiderMaintain Distance: Hang back at a safe following distance and keep a protective bubble around the bike.Block Tailgaters: Position your vehicle directly behind the motorcycle to stop aggressive drivers, road ragers, or distracted texters from weaving into their lane or tailgating.Be Extra Alert: Motorcyclists are highly vulnerable in rough weather (rain, high winds) or heavy traffic. If you see a rider moving slowly in these conditions, stay behind them to increase their visibility to other traffic.Do Not Crowd: Avoid riding too closely, which can make a biker feel boxed in, and never block their line of sight or kick up road debris.Best Practices & EtiquetteDrivers and riders frequently discuss this practice on forums like RevZilla and the MotorBiscuit Guide. Key points of discussion include:Don't be creepy: Your goal is to be a passive guardian, not to intimidate or crowd the rider.Don't endanger yourself: Never put your own car or passengers in danger to "protect" a motorcycle, as bikes are faster and more maneuverable than cars.Be prepared: If a situation arises, be ready to turn on your hazard lights to warn oncoming or trailing traffic.If you want, let me know:What road or weather conditions you are driving in (e.g., heavy rain, highway traffic)Any specific concerns you have about sharing the road with motorcyclesI can help give you more tailored tips for defensive driving and sharing the road safely.

wanted to share some information to help explain how towing and light haul services work behind the scenes, and why clear communication is so important.

Running a professional towing and light haul business involves more than just moving a unit from point A to point B. Each job includes fixed operating costs such as fuel, equipment, insurance, licensing, maintenance, scheduling, and liability. When a job is booked, those resources are allocated specifically for that time and location.

In many cases, I’ve tried to be flexible and accommodating when details change or issues come up. Like many small businesses, I’ve absorbed additional costs in good faith to help clients, keep things moving, and maintain positive working relationships. This is often done with the expectation that it’s a one-time situation or that things will balance out over time.

However, when incorrect information or miscommunication between senders and receivers leads to delays, rescheduling, or additional trips, it creates real, measurable costs. While these situations aren’t usually intentional, they do impact the carrier providing the service. Over time, consistently absorbing those costs isn’t sustainable for any small business.

Another important factor is pricing expectations. Professional transport services are priced based on time, distance, equipment, risk, and responsibility. While everyone wants to manage costs, expecting ongoing discounts or pricing that doesn’t reflect the scope of the work can make it difficult for service providers to operate responsibly and continue offering reliable service.

Safety and liability are also key considerations. Jobs are completed according to proper procedures, load securement standards, and insurance requirements. Rushing or cutting corners to offset delays or pricing pressure isn’t safe and isn’t an option.

This isn’t about assigning blame—it’s about understanding how these services function and why accurate information, clear communication, fair pricing, and shared accountability help ensure smooth outcomes for everyone involved.

I appreciate the clients and partners who value professionalism and understand the realities of operating a small business. Clear expectations on all sides make for better service and better working relationships.
