A bus driver carries a lot of responsibility on each trip. In being responsible for their passengers’ safety (who are often children or youth), drivers must also know their bus is in good driving condition. However, emergencies will happen, and a bus breakdown can occur as quickly as it would for a small car. Fortunately, a driver or operator can call for an emergency towing service.
If you’re calling for bus towing, you must ensure the tow truck company has the knowledge, tools, and training to tow large, heavy vehicles safely. From yellow school buses to coach passenger buses, these vehicles weigh anywhere from 10 to 50,000 lbs. *This is 5 to 10 times heavier than the average car, truck, or SUV!
