Medium duty towing in Port Allen, LA

Medium duty vehicles need a bigger truck than a car. Safe Seward Towing Company provides medium duty towing across West Baton Rouge Parish and Baton Rouge.

How do I stay safe with a big vehicle?
- Pull as far onto the shoulder as you can and turn on the hazard lights.
- Set warning triangles behind the vehicle, farther back than you would for a car.
- Keep passengers away from the traffic side.
- In an RV, if you smell propane, turn off the tank valve only if it’s safe to reach, move everyone away and call 911.
- If anyone is hurt, call 911 first.
Before an RV tow: what should I secure?
- Close and latch the cabinets, the fridge and the doors.
- Retract slide-outs, the awning and the steps if they still work.
- Turn off the generator, the water pump and the propane appliances.
- Take medications, documents and valuables with you.
Is it a tow or a roadside fix?
A dead battery may only need a jump start, and an empty tank diesel or gas delivery. If the vehicle slid onto soft ground, a winch-out covers vehicles up to medium duty. Moving several vans for your business? See fleet towing.
