Need a food truck moved in Davie? Davie Towing Service dispatches around the clock across Davie, FL. Towing a food truck is not the same job as towing a sedan — it comes down to weight rating, deck length, and how the vehicle is secured — so we confirm what you are driving before a truck rolls, and quote the price before the hook goes on.
The right equipment for a food truck
Sending an under-rated truck is how a tow turns into damage. Our dispatcher matches the load to the equipment — deck, wheel-lift, or heavy wrecker — and the operator secures it to the manufacturer’s tie-down points rather than whatever is reachable.
A food truck that stalls mid-service in Davie needs a flatbed, not a wheel-lift — the built-out kitchen (fryers, water tanks, a generator) sits low and unevenly loaded, and dragging the drive axle risks the mounts. Davie Towing Service dispatches 24 hours a day; local flatbed jobs in this market typically run $50–$125.
If your food truck won't restart in a Davie parking lot or at a market stop, the clock is the problem before the truck is — a lunch-rush vendor blocking a loading zone or an event entrance needs to move, not wait for a shop to open. Davie Towing Service runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so a stall at a Friday-night event doesn't have to sit until Monday.
A food truck isn't a delivery van with a wrap on it. It's carrying a generator, fryers, a water tank, and a walk-in's worth of stock, all mounted low and off-center from how the chassis was designed to carry weight. A wheel-lift tow truck grabs one axle and rolls the other down the road — on a loaded food truck, that uneven weight and low frame clearance make that a bad way to move it. Davie Towing Service brings a flatbed for these calls: the whole vehicle rides level, nothing drags, and the built-out equipment isn't shifting mid-tow.
Does it matter if the truck still has propane tanks connected?
Yes — say so when you call. A food truck with propane still plumbed in gets flagged before the crew arrives, so it can be secured or disconnected properly instead of discovered at the ramp.
What does it cost to tow a food truck in Davie?
There's no single food-truck line item; a tow is priced on the vehicle's length, weight, and how far it's going. Flatbed jobs in the Davie market typically run $50–$125, and general towing work in the market spans $50–$350 depending on distance and equipment. Davie Towing Service quotes the specific truck before dispatching, not off a flat rate.
- Length and curb weight of the truck once it's loaded with equipment
- Distance from the current location to the shop or next stop
- Whether propane or other equipment needs to be secured before the load
Can you tow the truck to its next event instead of a repair shop?
If it's road-legal and safe to move, yes — tell the dispatcher the destination when you call and the crew routes there instead of assuming a shop. Davie Towing Service covers 20 service areas around Davie, so a truck booked for a stop two towns over doesn't need a second call.
Will a regular tow truck damage a food truck's equipment?
It can, if it's wheel-lifted with a loaded kitchen inside — the uneven weight and low clearance are why Davie Towing Service sends a flatbed for these calls. Everything rides flat and secured instead of leaning on two wheels.
How fast can you get to a food truck blocking a lot?
Dispatch runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, across the 20 areas Davie Towing Service covers. Call (954) 758-5905 and the truck heading your way is routed off your actual location.
What if the truck has propane tanks onboard?
Tell the dispatcher when you call. It changes how the crew loads and secures the vehicle, and it's better handled before the truck arrives than found at the ramp.
