What does winch-out mean?
A winch-out is when a tow truck uses its winch and cable to pull a vehicle out of a spot it can’t drive out of, such as mud, sand, a ditch or a soft shoulder. If the vehicle can be driven once it is out, no tow is needed. If it is damaged, we can tow it.
Which vehicles do our winch-outs cover?

What should I tell the dispatcher?
- Your location: the road and the nearest cross street, mile marker or landmark, or a pin from your phone’s map.
- The vehicle: year, make, model, and whether it is loaded.
- Where it is stuck: mud, sand, a ditch or a soft shoulder, and how far from the road.
- Whether the vehicle is upright and whether anyone is hurt.
What should I do while I wait?
- Stop spinning the wheels. Spinning digs the tires deeper and can damage the vehicle.
- Turn on the hazard lights.
- If the vehicle is tilted or near water, get out on the safe side and move away from it.
- If anyone is hurt, call 911 first.
Florida’s Move Over law requires drivers to move over a lane, or slow to 20 mph below the posted limit, for stopped tow trucks and disabled vehicles with warning lights.
What happens after the winch-out?
Once the vehicle is back on solid ground, check the tires and look underneath for anything dragging or leaking. If a tire is damaged, we can put on your spare. If the vehicle won’t drive safely, we can tow it to a repair shop.
