How Medium-Duty Flatbed Towing Works in Toronto and the GTA

  1. Confirm vehicle size

    Give dispatch the make, model, approximate weight, height and whether the vehicle is loaded.

  2. Eligibility and quote

    Dispatch confirms the vehicle is within medium-duty capacity and provides a CAD quote.

  3. Loading

    The operator uses a higher-capacity winch and hydraulic bed to load the vehicle safely.

  4. Delivery

    The vehicle is delivered to your maintenance shop, dealership or yard as instructed.

Call Dispatch or Request Through the App

There are two ways to get medium-duty flatbed towing from TrueNorth Roadside Rescue. You can call dispatch directly at (647) 633-8885 and speak with a real person, 24 hours a day. Or you can request service through the TrueNorth web and mobile app for a faster, fully digital request flow.

In the app, you enter your exact service type, pickup location, vehicle details, destination when required, and contact information. The app calculates your estimate from preset service pricing, distance in kilometres, included distance, add-ons, and applicable tax — before anything is dispatched.

Once a driver is assigned, the app shows live service tracking with driver status, ETA, service progress, and completion status. It is a clearer and more transparent experience than a normal phone-only towing request — and you can still call dispatch anytime if you prefer speaking with a person.

Faster Request Flow

Submit the service type, location, vehicle details, and contact information without waiting on the phone.

Live Driver Tracking

Once a driver accepts the job, follow the driver and service status in real time.

Transparent App Estimate

Pricing is calculated from preset service rates, distance, add-ons, and tax before dispatch.

Call Anytime

You can still call dispatch directly for urgent support, questions, or special situations.

Medium-Duty Flatbed Towing Pricing and Quotes

Medium-duty flatbed towing is quoted in CAD before dispatch, based on vehicle size, load, pickup and destination. Vehicles beyond medium-duty capacity are not accepted.

For a full breakdown of how towing and roadside jobs are quoted, see our towing and roadside assistance pricing page.

Staying Safe While You Wait

  • Declare cargo weight — a loaded van tows very differently from an empty one
  • Secure or remove loose cargo before the truck arrives
  • Confirm overhead clearance at both ends for taller vehicles
  • Keep the driver and bystanders clear during loading

If Extra Help Is Needed

Tractor-trailers, buses and heavy commercial trucks are outside our capacity. If the vehicle is heavier than medium-duty limits, dispatch tells you before booking rather than sending a truck that cannot do the job.
