When most people think of towing, they picture a vehicle being hauled away after a breakdown or accident. In reality, the towing and recovery industry is far more complex — involving specialized equipment, advanced safety training, and 24/7 service in unpredictable conditions.

At Jade Towing, serving Central Kentucky, we take pride in offering professional towing and recovery services with integrity and care. To help you better understand what we do, here are five common myths about the towing industry — and the truth behind them.

Myth #1: Towing Companies Only Move Cars

Fact: Modern towing professionals handle much more than vehicle transport. At Jade Towing, our team is trained to manage accident recoveries, roadside assistance, winch-outs, jump-starts, tire changes, lockouts, and equipment hauling. Whether it’s a compact car or a commercial vehicle, we have the experience and equipment to handle it safely and efficiently.

Myth #2: Tow Truck Drivers Are “Out to Get You”

Fact: Reputable towing companies operate with fairness and transparency. Our business is built on trust and customer service — not hidden fees or unfair practices. From the moment we arrive on the scene, our focus is on assisting motorists in a professional, respectful manner. We follow all local regulations and maintain clear, upfront pricing so you always know what to expect.

Myth #3: Towing Is a Simple Job

Fact: Towing and recovery is one of the most challenging and hazardous fields in transportation. Operators work in dangerous environments, often roadside and in adverse weather conditions. It requires extensive training, attention to safety, and technical skill to recover vehicles without causing further damage. That’s why we continually invest in training and safety equipment for our team.

Myth #4: Any Truck Can Handle Any Tow

Fact: Each vehicle requires the right truck and method. Jade Towing maintains a diverse fleet of light-, medium-, and heavy-duty wreckers to ensure we’re equipped for any situation. Using the wrong equipment can cause costly damage or create safety risks. Our operators assess each job carefully and use the correct tools to ensure proper handling from start to finish.

Myth #5: Towing Services Are Only for Emergencies

Fact: Many of our services are scheduled and preventive. We regularly assist customers with vehicle transport, equipment relocation, and fleet support. Whether you need a car moved across town or a piece of machinery delivered to a job site, we provide safe, professional transport on your schedule.
