The Cost of Missing Emergency Calls
After-Hours Emergency Towing Calls Go Unanswered – Losing Critical Revenue at Night
Towing & Recovery Companies face a surge in emergency calls between 9 PM and 5 AM—peak hours when drivers are stranded on highways, in bad weather, or after accidents. Yet, with crews on jobs or off-duty, these calls often go unanswered. According to industry data, 85% of callers who reach voicemail never return, meaning a missed call at 2:17 AM could cost you a $1,800 towing job, a repeat customer, and a referral. Without 24/7 coverage, your business loses credibility and revenue when it matters most.
Field Technicians Can’t Answer Phones Mid-Service – Missed Customer Inquiries During Critical Jobs
When your tow truck driver is on a recovery job—lifting a wrecked SUV from a ditch or extracting a vehicle from a ditch—answering the phone is unsafe and impractical. Yet, 62% of calls to small Towing & Recovery Companies go unanswered during these high-stress moments. A customer calling to confirm a pickup time or report a change in location may hang up after 15 seconds, leading to scheduling chaos, customer frustration, and lost service call opportunities.
High Cost of Full-Time Receptionists – Unaffordable Overhead for Small Towing Operations
Hiring a full-time receptionist for a small Towing & Recovery Company averages $4,000–$5,000/month, including salary, benefits, and training. For a business with 3–5 trucks, this overhead is unsustainable. With 20% of potential revenue lost to missed calls—equating to $24,000+ annually in lost towing jobs—this cost is not just high, it’s inefficient. You’re paying for a role that only handles 20–30 calls per day, many of which occur during off-peak hours when no one is available.
