Most Townsville tows are short — a few suburbs or a quick run to a workshop. Long-distance work is different. A tow to Cairns, Mackay, Rockhampton, Brisbane or interstate needs a truck that can hold its rated load on the highway for hours, a driver rostered for the round trip, and a quote that covers fuel, tolls and turnaround. The recommended operators here can quote and run long-distance jobs from Townsville with the right combination of tilt-tray, flat-deck or float to suit the vehicle. Plan ahead where you can — a long-distance tow booked the day before is usually cheaper than a same-day callout because the operator can stage it around their other work.
