Moretown is a quintessential small American town that lives in the heart of Vermont’s thriving tourist area. The town center is a bustle of local activity, and residents have easy access to larger towns where they can find employment.
On Thursday morning, a Moretown school bus went into a ditch. Despite the efforts of state police, it took two tow trucks to extricate the bus. Students were evacuated to another bus and transported to schools.
Truck Repair
Towing Service for Moretown VT is a name you can trust when it comes to providing quality truck repair. Whether you are a professional driver or the owner of a fleet of commercial trucks, having access to top-notch towing and repair services is critical to keeping your business moving forward.
The truck repair industry is a diverse one encompassing more than a million operators across the country. This includes companies specializing in maintenance and repair of medium and heavy-duty trucks, including diesel, propane and gasoline powered vehicles. For example, the best-known truck repair shop in this industry is a large family owned and operated operation with a full complement of highly skilled employees. Other key industry players include smaller, independently owned garages and dealerships with a vested interest in the automotive sector. This competitive landscape is accentuated by rising labor costs and an aging population. Despite its rocky past, this industry is poised for growth in the coming years.
Truck Wash
If your truck needs a good cleaning, you can use a truck wash to get it looking and smelling fresh again. A truck wash will remove rust, grime, dirt, and road debris that can reduce the value of your vehicle.
A good truck wash will also extend the life of your vehicle’s paint and undercarriage, which can help save you money in the long run. A regular fleet washing service can also protect your drivers from staph infections, a common health concern among truckers.
The new transportation regulations under the Food Safety Modernization Act have boosted the industry’s focus on keeping equipment clean, wash providers said. In particular, the FSMA mandates documentation of cleaning procedures for all transporters of human or animal food.
Averitt Transportation, a trucking company in Huntingwood, Pennsylvania, has an automatic drive-through truck wash at its terminals, said Mike Rogan, the company’s operations manager. The company relies on washes to keep vehicles free of built-up debris that could inhibit their collision avoidance and lane departure systems, Rogan said.
Tire Repair
Having a flat tire is an unfortunate situation. Luckily, Towing Service for Moretown VT offers a variety of roadside services to help you get your car back on the road quickly.
One of our more common roadside services is tire repair. We can patch your flat tire, repair a sidewall puncture, and even replace your entire tire.
While these are great options, it’s important to understand that they’re quick fixes that won’t last long. To make a proper repair, a rubber stem must be applied to fill the hole and a patch must be applied to seal the inner liner.
If the puncture is too large for a plug, or is located outside the Puncture Repair Area (see image), it can’t be repaired safely.
If you’re looking for a more permanent solution, we recommend replacing your tire instead of repairing it. This is especially true if the puncture is in the sidewall and if it has suffered significant impact damage such as hitting a curb, pothole, or other hazard incorrectly.
Roadside Assistance
When you’re on a road trip, or even just commuting to work, having emergency services on call can be lifesaver. Having access to services like jumpstarting a dead battery or getting a fuel delivery is invaluable when you’re in need of help on the go.
When it comes to roadside assistance, you should know what kind of coverage you have before deciding on which service provider to choose. For example, if you’re driving a motorcycle or boat, you may want to consider buying additional coverage that specifically covers those vehicles.
Many insurance companies offer roadside assistance as part of their basic packages, but some standalone providers like Better World Club offer competitive pricing and high-quality coverage options. Depending on your coverage, you can use this service to get your car towed to a repair shop or to receive free flat-tire changes and other benefits.
