    Built to Work: Choosing a Tow Truck That Works as Hard as You Do
    Jan 26 2026

    In this inaugural episode of Hooked on the Road, we tackle one of the most critical decisions in towing and recovery: choosing the right truck for your operation. From light-duty flatbeds to heavy-duty wreckers, the wrong choice can cost time, money, and safety while the right one becomes the backbone of your business.

    Midway through the episode, we break down how experienced operators evaluate real-world needs and how Crawford Truck Sales helps match operators with trucks that fit their workload, terrain, and growth plans not just what looks good on paper. We also explore common mistakes buyers make, overlooked features that matter in the field, and how proper spec’ing can extend the life of your equipment.

    This episode sets the tone for the series: practical, honest, and rooted in real towing experience.
