JABR Trucking and Towing

09/26/2026

Everyday we have to make choices and sometimes we make the wrong ones. This driver missed his original corner and then came up upon a road closer. He chose to take the gravel/clay road that connected to the road he needed to be on. Unfortunately for him this is a notorious gps short cut that usually ends up with this situation. 80,000lbs stuck at the bottom of the hill. Up hill both ways 1000 to 1500 feet either way from there. Our Trebron North skidloader recovery winch system had no problem moving it but with the longer distance pull we decided bring in our bulldozer. Once to the top of the 1st hill there was still roughly a 1 mile pull back to the highway.
With all the wet conditions we have all the specialized equipment for any and all of your stuck farm, construction or truck needs.

1 day out of a 3 day heavy towing and recovery training class some of the guys got to put their new knowledge to the test and made quick work of this suv and camper that had rolled over on the interstate Thank you to Mitchell Fire/EMS South Dakota Highway Patrol South Dakota Department of Transportation and Davison County Sheriff's Office for their assistant on sight and for performing traffic control.

“All you did was tow it a few miles. Why does it cost so much?”

It’s a question towing companies hear all the time after police directed emergency towing.

The answer is simple: you’re not paying for the few miles your vehicle traveled. You’re paying for the emergency response system that made it possible for help to arrive when you needed it. Not scheduled, not tomorrow, not when we can fit it in, but right now immediate response.

Like EMS and the fire department, towing companies are expected to respond 24 hours a day, 365 days a year—often within 20 minutes of being called by law enforcement. That means maintaining trained operators, dispatch systems, insurance, storage facilities, and hundreds of thousands (sometimes millions) of dollars in specialized equipment ready to roll at a moment’s notice.

Here’s the difference…

Police departments are funded.

Fire departments are funded.

EMS receives public funding, grants, or municipal support.

Emergency towing companies receive none.

In fact, we may be the only emergency service expected to maintain around-the-clock readiness without taxpayer funding. Even more challenging, approximately 40% of our police-requested services ultimately go unpaid.

Yet when the phone rings at 2:00 AM, during a snowstorm, after a serious crash, or when a roadway needs cleared for public safety, we’re still expected to respond immediately.

And we do.

The invoice isn’t paying for a few miles of towing.

It’s paying for the trucks, equipment, facilities, insurance, training, and people standing by 24/7, ready to respond when nobody else can.

That’s the true cost of emergency towing.
