Emergency calls we handle in the metro
Most emergency tows in this market are ordinary vehicles in ugly spots: a blown tire on I-29 near 13th Avenue South, a stall on I-94 heading into West Fargo, a no-start in a NDSU lot, or a slide-off after black ice on a Cass County frontage road. We dispatch for those calls 24/7.
Tell the dispatcher where you are as specifically as you can — mile marker, exit, or a nearby landmark such as Hector International Airport, the Fargodome, West Acres, or Main Avenue. Fargo’s grid is easy to work once we have a cross-street. Moorhead calls should mention whether you are east of the Red River so we send the right truck across.
What to expect after you call
You get a clear picture of equipment (flatbed vs wheel-lift), an arrival window, and a price approach before the truck is committed. Hook-up plus mileage is the local norm; winter recoveries and after-hours work can add equipment or on-call time. We would rather quote that up front than surprise you on the shoulder.
If 911 is already on scene, stay put and have the officer confirm you can choose a private tower. Emergency towing is the private-dispatch path. Police impounds go to the city contractor and a different phone number.

Can you reach me if I only know I am on I-29?+
Yes. Share the direction of travel (north or south), the nearest exit if you can see one, and any mile marker. Dispatchers who work this corridor already know the I-29 / I-94 interchange and the 13th Avenue and Main Avenue exits.
