What Dispatch Needs When You Call
- Which corridor and which direction — GA-400 northbound, southbound, eastbound, or westbound.
- The nearest exit or mile marker — this is the single most useful thing you can give us.
- What you are driving — tractor-trailer, box truck, bus, RV, container chassis, or equipment.
- Loaded or empty — this changes the truck we send and the recovery plan.
- What failed — tire, brakes, air, engine, or a load shift. A load shift is a different job.
- Whether anyone is hurt or a lane is blocked — that moves you to the front of the queue.
That is enough to commit the right wrecker the first time. Call (678) 933-1672, 24 hours a day.
