Specialized Trailer Towing in BC – Insured & Ready to Help

July 21st 2025




When it comes to trailer towing in BC, especially here in Kamloops, making the process seamless and safe is what I do best. I’m Phil, the owner of Phil’s Towing, and for years I’ve focused on trailer towing because it demands a different level of care and preparation than other types of towing. Whether you need to move a small utility trailer or a larger RV, towing a trailer is a unique challenge—it requires the right setup, proper insurance, and the experience to get the job done right

While I handle all types of towing needs, from cars to light trucks, I’ve built my reputation around the unique demands of trailer towing—a specialty most towing companies don’t focus on. Because trailers need a specific approach to towing—one that keeps both the load and other drivers safe—I’m equipped with a dedicated and insured pickup truck to make sure I can handle your trailer properly. Here’s why Phil’s Towing has become a reliable choice in Kamloops for those needing expert trailer towing.

Why Many Towing Companies Aren’t Set Up for Trailer Towing

Most towing companies rely on standard tow trucks that work well for vehicles, but not as effectively for trailers. Towing trailers on the hitch of a traditional tow truck can lead to safety issues, particularly with balance and stability, and as a result, it’s a practice that’s being discouraged in the industry. In fact, it’s rare to find towing companies with a dedicated pickup setup specifically for trailers.

With my primary setup, I’ve focused on providing the towing services Kamloops residents need, even if that means thinking beyond the standard tow truck. My truck is well-suited for towing trailers because, unlike a traditional tow truck, it’s designed for towing trailers. This gives me the flexibility to handle a variety of trailers safely and reliably.

The Benefits of A Truck That’s Set Up and Insured for Trailer Towing

Using a pickup truck equipped for trailer towing allows me to safely tow trailers of many types and sizes. While my truck isn’t different from many other trucks at its core, it’s fully insured and set up for towing trailers, meaning that any load I pick up is protected from start to finish.

  • Enhanced Stability: My truck is designed to provide excellent stability, ensuring safe and secure towing of trailers of varying weights and sizes. This setup gives me better control and helps minimize sway on the road.
  • Dedicated Insurance for Towing: My truck is insured specifically for trailer towing, so you can feel confident that your load is protected in the rare event of an issue on the road. Having a policy that’s meant for trailer towing adds a layer of security for my clients.
  • Safe Towing for Different Trailer Types: Whether it’s a smaller utility trailer or a heavier RV, having a truck equipped for trailer towing helps me handle a range of needs.

My focus is on providing the right solution for the job. A pickup truck, instead of a traditional tow truck, lets me give BC residents a trailer towing service they can rely on, with added protection from dedicated insurance.

Simplified Towing with a Dedicated Plate

One of the things I offer to make your trailer towing experience smoother is a dedicated towing plate. Normally, clients might need to obtain a day permit or temporary insurance to move their trailer legally, which can add hassle to the process. I use my own plate for the towing (and charge the same cost as the insurance companies),which means you don’t need to worry about permits or temporary coverage for a quick, one-time move.

This dedicated setup makes it easier for you to get your trailer where it needs to go without dealing with the additional red tape. It’s one of the small ways I try to add convenience to the service, ensuring that my clients can count on a fast, hassle-free experience when they need it most.

Why Trailer Towing is My Specialty

Towing a trailer safely isn’t the same as moving a car or truck. Trailers have unique weight distributions and balance needs, and their long frames require careful handling on the road. I’ve focused on trailer towing over the years because I know BC residents from my home base in Kamloops and throughout the province have varied towing needs, from hauling recreational vehicles to transporting equipment.

  • Experience with Different Loads: Over the years, I’ve worked with all types of trailers, and I understand the importance of getting every load properly secured before hitting the road.
  • Personal Attention to Detail: When I take on a trailer tow, I make sure that all safety measures are in place. This includes double-checking connections, load balance, and ensuring the trailer is secure for transport.
  • Commitment to Service: I take pride in my work and treat every job with the professionalism and care it deserves. Don’t only take it from me though, check out my Google Reviews! When I tow a trailer, I see it as an important responsibility, and I’m committed to doing it right every time.
