When your car, truck, or motorcycle needs to be moved, you want it handled without extra damage, stress, or hidden miles on the odometer. That is exactly why Tacoma flat bed towing is the safest choice. By lifting your entire vehicle onto a level deck, nothing drags or rolls. The suspension rests, the transmission stays untouched, and every wheel is secured in place. For drivers in Tacoma, this method means one smooth ride from pickup to drop off.
At NERD Towing, we provide Tacoma flat bed towing around the clock. Family owned and community based since 2014, our team is known in Tacoma and Pierce County for being careful, fast, and straight with people. Licensed, insured, and registered with the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT Carrier number 3443832), we run clean tow trucks, trained operators, and honest prices. You call, we move.
Why Tacoma Flat Bed Towing Protects Your Vehicle
Flat beds are more than a convenient option. They are the right solution in specific situations where other towing methods can cause harm.
When a Tacoma flat bed towing setup is the smart choice
- Collision damage: If wheels or axles are bent, dragging them makes things worse.
- Locked drivetrains: Vehicles stuck in gear or unable to shift into neutral cannot be pulled safely by the wheels.
- All wheel drive setups: These vehicles require all wheels off the ground to prevent drivetrain damage.
- Low clearance models: Sports cars, classics, and lowered builds scrape easily with hooks.
- Motorcycles and small equipment: A stable platform gives them balance and security.
- Long hauls: Keeping every wheel stationary prevents wear and extra odometer miles.
In each of these cases, Tacoma flat bed towing protects your investment and avoids new repair bills. It is the type of vehicle towing that reduces stress instead of adding to it.
How a Flat Bed Tow Truck Works
People often ask what makes Tacoma flat bed towing different from a standard tow truck. The answer is in the equipment and the process.
The loading process step by step
- Tilt and ramp: The deck tilts down and ramps extend.
- Winch or drive: A controlled winch or careful drive places the vehicle on the bed.
- Secure: Wheel straps and chains lock the vehicle in place.
- Level deck: The bed resets to a flat position and locks tight.
- Transport: Everything stays still until we reach the destination.
Our operators check every strap and connection before the truck moves. You are welcome to watch or take photos for peace of mind. Clean beds, routine inspections, and double checks are part of our daily work. With each towing truck equipped for different scenarios, safety is always built into the plan.

How Our Tacoma Flat Bed Towing Services Works
You do not want surprises when you are stranded. That is why our vehicle towing process is short, clear, and predictable.
Step 1: Call with the details
You tell us where you are, what you drive, and what happened. If you are not sure whether you need Tacoma flat bed towing, describe the symptoms. Locked gear, bent suspension, or all wheel drive are enough for us to send the right tow truck.
Step 2: We assign the right unit
From tight garages in Lakewood to soft shoulders near Fife or busy lanes on I-5 through Tacoma, our dispatcher sends the truck with the right setup. Each truck towing unit carries straps, chains, boards, and cribbing for tough angles and soft ground.
Step 3: Load and secure
On scene, the driver explains the plan before touching the vehicle. The bed is set, the car is loaded, and each wheel is strapped. We confirm anchors twice before rolling. This attention to detail is why our towing services are trusted across the community.
Step 4: Delivery where you want it
Home, shop, storage yard, or dealer lot, you choose the destination. If you are unsure, we can suggest trusted options nearby. The point is your control of the plan.
Step 5: Payment and receipt
You know the cost before we drive. Payment is accepted by card, cash, or digital transfer. A receipt is sent by text or email for your records. No surprise fees, no add ons.
What Helps Us Help You Faster with Vehicle Towing
Clear details save time and prevent complications with car towing.
- Vehicle info: Share the year, make, and model, plus any modifications like lowered suspension or wide tires. Mention if it is all wheel drive or stuck in park.
- Location: Exact address or nearest cross streets help us avoid delays. If on a freeway, mile markers or exits are best.
- Condition: Leaks, missing wheels, broken glass, or being stuck against a curb should be mentioned so we bring the right tow truck equipment.
- Destination: Whether it is a driveway in University Place or a trusted shop in Puyallup, knowing early keeps things smooth.
Small Steps While You Wait
Your tow will be quick, but a few simple actions make things even easier.
- Gather items like paperwork, chargers, or medicine before the vehicle is strapped down.
- Take a few photos of the car for your peace of mind.
- Stay visible and safe if you are on the roadside by using hazards and standing clear.
- Share gate codes or parking passes early so the towing truck can get in without delays.
