When you think of being rescued, you may conjure up images of law enforcement officers or firefighters. However, when you find yourself stranded along the side of the road you will suddenly have a new type of hero. This is the tow truck driver who comes out to rescue you and get you on the road or in a safer location. Here are some of the reasons why a tow truck driver can end up being the best person to rescue you: 

You have your car break down at night

If you are driving your car and it breaks down at night or if you have come out to your car to return home at nighttime and the car won't start then you may be scared. This can be especially true if the car has broken down in an area that isn't very safe. A tow truck driver can come out to where your car is and either get your car running again or tow the car to a shop for you, while also giving you a ride. 

Your car is stuck

If your car veers off the road and gets stuck in a ditch, then you will likely be scared and may just want your car removed so you can get going. A tow truck driver can come to rescue you by pulling the car out of the ditch for you. If your car has been buried in snow or you were driving it and you ended up getting it stuck in the snow, then you will want to get it freed so you can get back to the safety and warmth of your home. A tow truck driver can come to rescue you from this situation by getting your car out of the snow that has it trapped.

You're far from home and you can't get the car working

If you are far from home and your car won't start, then you may not be able to call anyone you know to come to help you to jump it, to change the battery, to bring you gas, or to help you in any way. However, there is someone who will come to your rescue no matter what area you are in and that is a tow truck driver. They can help you with all of these things and more. Or, if the car is in need of repairs that require it to be in the repair shop, then a tow truck driver can hook it up to their tow truck and take it to the shop for you so the repairs can be done and you can have your car back.
