Commercial and Fleet Transport Solutions
Businesses operating fleets in DFW face unique demands. A single vehicle out of service can delay deliveries, miss customer appointments, or shut down a job site. Our commercial account program gives fleet managers a direct dispatch line, priority response, consolidated monthly invoicing, and detailed trip reports for every tow — making it easy to manage and reimbursement costs.
We work with dealerships, rental car companies, body shops, construction contractors, and property managers throughout the metroplex. If your organization moves five or more vehicles per month, contact us about a commercial account to get dedicated support, reduced per-unit rates, and a single account manager who knows your fleet.
Why Flatbed Is the Safest Option
A flatbed tow truck keeps all four wheels of your vehicle off the ground and the entire car level throughout transport. This eliminates any stress on the drivetrain, transmission, and suspension components that wheel-lift or dolly towing can introduce. For modern vehicles with low profiles, advanced suspension systems, and sensitive electronics, flatbed is no longer optional — it's the professional standard.
At NW Towing, our flatbed fleet consists of late-model Kenworth and Peterbilt carriers with adjustable tilt-deck angles, extended ramps for low-clearance vehicles, and certified tie-down hardware rated to FMCSA cargo securement standards. Every vehicle loaded on our decks receives a minimum of four soft-strap or wheel-net attachment points before we move.
Weight Ratings and Load Matching
One of the most overlooked aspects of flatbed towing is matching the tow truck's rated capacity to the weight of the vehicle being transported. Our light-duty flatbeds handle vehicles up to 10,000 lbs, while our medium-duty units extend to 26,000 lbs. For construction equipment, heavy machinery, and commercial vehicles exceeding that threshold, our heavy rotator and lowboy trailer fleet takes over.
Overloading a tow truck is not just a legal violation — it's a safety hazard. Overloaded decks compromise braking distance, tire integrity, and tie-down tension. Always ask any towing company you call whether the truck being dispatched is properly rated for your vehicle's GVWR. At NW Towing, dispatch confirms this automatically before accepting the job.
