Part 1 – Provincial Regulations and Protecting Yourself
When your vehicle breaks down or gets into an accident, it can be stressful and overwhelming. That’s why it’s important to hire a reliable towing company to ensure your vehicle is transported safely and efficiently. However, not all towing companies are created equal. Some may try to cut corners by skirting the regulations and rules they are bound by to save money, which can put you and your vehicle at risk.
That’s why it’s important to hire a towing company
in Edmonton that meets provincial regulations. By doing so, you can have peace of mind knowing that your vehicle is in good hands and that the towing company is operating with integrity.
There are several reasons why it’s important to hire a towing company that meets provincial regulations. First and foremost, complying with regulations ensures safety. Towing companies that follow regulations are required to have proper equipment, training, and insurance to ensure that your vehicle is transported safely and that any potential damages are covered. Properly maintained equipment is valuable for any/all transport companies but even more so for the ones WORKING on the side of a roadway rescuing you.
Secondly, hiring a towing company that meets provincial regulations can help you avoid liability. If a towing company doesn’t follow regulations and something goes wrong, you could be held liable for any damages or injuries that occur. It may not be front of mind, like most emergencies you encounter in your life, but if something were to happen during your already stressful time, being liable for something the company is at fault for would make it WAY worse! By hiring a towing company that follows regulations, you can avoid this potential risk.
Finally, hiring a towing company that meets provincial regulations can ensure fair and equitable service to the public. Towing companies that don’t follow regulations may not be equipped to provide fast and efficient service, especially in cases that require heavy towing or truck towing. This can cause additional wait times and risk for the public in the event of a major incident.
Though the Towing Industry as a whole is very unregulated there are still provincial stipulations towing companies MUST follow to be complaint. Those specifics are set by the Province itself, as well as other governing bodys such as:
- Alberta Motor Vehicle Industry Council
- Workers Compensation Board
- Towing and Recovery Association of Alberta
- Alberta Construction Safety Association
- Alberta Motor Transport Association
- Alberta Chamber of Commerce
- Local Business Chamber of Commerce
- Alberta Traffic Safety Act
- Occupation Health and Safety Regulation
- Local Police Force (Edmonton Police Service)
- Provincial Police (Sheriff)
- Federal Police (RCMP)
- and more!
Stay tuned for our deep dive into how you can use some of the above resources to check credibility of a Towing Provider, or better yet, any business in Alberta.
In conclusion, hiring a towing company in Edmonton that meets provincial regulations is essential to ensuring the safety and well-being of you and your vehicle. By doing so, you can avoid potential liabilities, ensure fair and equitable service, and have peace of mind knowing that your vehicle is in good hands.
