Accident Towing

Getting your vehicle out of traffic comes first, followed by the paperwork trail and a drop-off point you actually pick, not one assigned for you.

Why Drivers Use This Referral

Pullman Tow Pros does not publish star ratings or testimonials, and it does not tow the vehicle. A request can be shared with up to 3 independent local contractors. They set their own prices and are responsible for their own licensing and insurance. You decide whether to hire one of them.

There is no yard of trucks behind this website. A WSU lot, a wheat-field shoulder, or a driveway on Military Hill can all be named in a request. The contractor who responds is a separate business, and the price travels with that contractor, not with this site.

State law still applies to the company that actually tows. RCW 46.55.020 requires a current Registered Tow Truck Operator credential before any company can legally impound a vehicle here, and the Washington State Patrol periodically checks that credential. Pullman Tow Pros does not hold it. Ask the contractor who contacts you. An AAA sticker or an insurer's name is not a substitute for that contractor's own paperwork.

  • First several miles of a light-duty tow: $75 to $150
  • Each additional mile after that: roughly $2.50 to $5
  • A heavier vehicle or a longer haul toward Moscow or Colfax: costs more

Winter on the Palouse

Pullman sits in the rolling wheat country of the Palouse, and getting into or out of downtown means climbing a real grade on College Hill or Military Hill either way. A dusting of snow rarely closes these roads, but freezing fog is a different problem: it can leave a sheet of black ice across a hill or bridge deck with almost no visible warning, which is when a slide-off call comes in.

The full picture on both hills, plus what freezing fog actually is and why Pullman has no WSDOT mountain-pass report to check, lives on the winter hills page.

Where Requests Can Go

Requests can name downtown Pullman, the WSU campus and the neighborhoods around it, College Hill, and Military Hill. They can also name the Moscow corridor along SR-270 and Colfax or other Whitman County towns along US-195. An independent contractor decides whether that spot is one they cover.

No two jobs travel the same distance. A contractor already near downtown may reach Grand Avenue sooner than one starting from across the Palouse, and that contractor is the one who can say so. The full breakdown, town by town and hill by hill, sits on the service areas page.

Common Questions About Pullman Towing

What does a typical tow cost around Pullman?

A typical light-duty tow around Pullman runs about $75 to $150 for the first several miles, then roughly $2.50 to $5 for each additional mile. A heavier vehicle or a longer haul toward Moscow or Colfax costs more. The contractor you hire sets that price. This site does not.

Should I contact my insurance company before calling a tow truck?

Calling a tow truck does not require phoning your insurance company first, go ahead and get a breakdown or a flat handled right away. Afterward, if your policy covers roadside help, hang onto the receipt and submit it for reimbursement. Getting the vehicle sorted safely comes first, paperwork comes second.

Does Pullman Tow Pros hold a Washington tow license?

Washington lets a company impound a vehicle only after it holds a Registered Tow Truck Operator credential under RCW 46.55.020, which the Washington State Patrol checks. Pullman Tow Pros does not hold that credential and does not tow. Each independent contractor is responsible for its own licensing and insurance.

What kind of wait should I expect in Pullman?

How soon a truck arrives depends on where that contractor is and on traffic along US-195 or SR-27, plus snow or ice on College Hill. Pullman Tow Pros does not guarantee an arrival time or a response window. The contractor who contacts you can say what is realistic.

Can a request cover WSU, College Hill, and Military Hill?

A request can name WSU-adjacent neighborhoods, College Hill, and Military Hill, and also the Moscow corridor and nearby Whitman County towns. Pullman Tow Pros does not send a truck. The service areas page lists the streets, hills, and routes these requests describe most closely.

Can a request cover motorcycles or larger vehicles like RVs?

Contractors who take these requests are often equipped for passenger cars, light trucks, and motorcycles on the Palouse. An RV or a box truck usually needs a dedicated flatbed or a heavy-duty unit instead. Name the vehicle in your request so the right contractor can see it.

If I need Pullman towing, do I have to use a particular body shop?

No. Pullman Tow Pros is a free referral service, not a body shop and not a company that tows back to its own bay. You name the drop-off, such as a College Hill driveway, a WSU lot, or a shop you chose. The contractor you hire does the haul.
