In Washington State, lawful towing requires a Registered Tow Truck Operator (RTTO) license from the Washington State Patrol, an active surety bond, and — for most commercial carriers — a valid USDOT number. Pacific Towing & Recovery LLC maintains all three, plus the insurance coverage and WAC 204-91A operator training that the RTTO program requires.
When you hire a non-compliant tow company, you take on risk. When you hire us, every tow is auditable, insured, and performed under documented Washington regulations.
