Tow Truck Fleet Management Solution


In the U.S., towing represents the final linkin the transportation chain. However, 60% of tow fleetsface severe challenges such as slow response times, high risks, and uncontrollable costs.

Consider the facts:

 

Dispatch via phone averages over 45 minutes(industry benchmark: 30 minutes).

1. 28% of rescue incidentsare due to improper on-site operations (NHTSA).

2. 30% of fleetsreport over 5% fuel loss annually.

3. 40% of companies lose disputesdue to lack of video or operation records—each case costing over $5,000.

Challenges in Tow Truck Fleet Management

For towing companies, lacking a system means survival is at risk. Major issues include:

 

1. Inefficient Dispatch = Missed Golden Rescue Time

75% of fleets still rely on phones or radio to dispatch. Drivers report their coordinates manually, often delaying response. For instance, a stranded car on the highway might be 20 miles from an idle tow truck, yet never receive it—simply due to outdated dispatch systems.

 

2. High On-Site Risk = Frequent Secondary Accidents

According to NHTSA, 28% of towing accidents stem from simple errors like unlocked tow hooks or incorrect towing angles. Each incident can cost upwards of $15,000.

 

3. Cost Out of Control = Profits Eroded

Fuel theft or unnecessary detours result in over 5% annual fuel wastefor 30% of fleets.

Worse, 22% of total operational costgoes to fixing overused or damaged equipment.

 

4. Poor Compliance = High Legal Risk

Lacking operation records or video proof causes 40% of companiesto lose legal disputes—each costing more than $5,000.

 

YUWEI Tow Truck Management System

YUWEI offers a powerful, rugged solution tailored for real towing operations. The hardware is designed to survive -40°C to 85°C, handle rain, snow, and shock, and requires no vehicle modifications—simply plug and play.

2. In-Vehicle Display

A 7-inch HD screen displays dispatch instructions, vehicle location, and fault type.

Voice command support allows hands-free confirmation like “vehicle connected,” improving focus and safety in noisy environments.

3. Driver Monitoring Camera (DMS)

Uses facial recognition to detect fatigue (e.g., eyes closed for 2+ seconds) or distractions like phone use.

With ≥99% accuracy, it captures critical safety moments, alerting drivers in real-time.

4. Intelligent Alarm System

Triggers sound-light alerts and backend notifications for issues like “unconnected vehicle,” “overspeeding” (customizable, e.g., 80km/h), or “tow arm pressure anomaly.”

This prevents dangerous errors like vehicle drop-offs on the road.

5. MDVR (Mobile DVR)

Supports 4 video streams (front, rear, tow point, and cabin).

Footage is time-stamped, collision-locked, and uploaded via 4G in real time—perfect for dispute resolution. Recordings are stored for 30 days.

6. Backup Camera

180° wide-angle lens with night vision eliminates blind spots during reverse maneuvers.

This significantly reduces low-speed collision risk during vehicle pickup (which accounts for 22% of towing damage).
