When living in
North-Western Ontario, one has to be very creative to
survive the financial climate in a competitive business
environment. Their are many challenges to face and
success
depends on skills possessed by your crew
and the equipment on hand to perform the job
quickly and cost effectively. Our
crew is made up of people who have been in the trucking
business for years. Not only did these people
drive them but they repaired and maintained them also.
Best Towing's crew is a very integral and valuable asset
to our business. The knowledge and
experience that they bring to Best Towing allows us the
opportunity to serve your needs with the confidence that
we can not only do it we can do it right. Although
our equipment is not fresh out of the assembly plant it
is well maintained, handled by experts and designed to
handle the work, this enables us to transfer the savings to you. You do not
want to hear about our
breakdowns in your time of need, therefore we keep our
fleet in excellent working condition.

The woman behind
the men (cell phone (807) 887-4301)
Joyce Tinsley is the
owner of Best Towing. Her job is to ensure that
the business is operated in a professional manner.
Joyce feels that being a female owner in a male
dominated business, things must be be done ten times better to be
considered equal. Fortunately it isn't hard, with the Hurd boys
on her team. The vast wilderness and winding
treacherous roads of North-Western Ontario inspired
Joyce to answer to the need of an efficient towing
company that would take the challenges head on, be
profitable, and offer a service to be topped by none.
She has acquired equipment that is fit to do the job.
She also, attends Tow shows to gain more knowledge of
new methods relating to towing and recoveries.
Kevin has done a good job in building up our fleet
of towing vehicles. Our equipment is well maintained and fitted to take on even the
worst of jobs. Kevin states "Our equipment can
handle the big as well as the small challenges; there is
not a wreck that we cannot recover" and that pretty well
says it all. Using this type of equipment keeps
our overhead low and we can pass these saving on to your
our customers.
Our equipment list consist of the following:
- 2- Heavy Wreckers
- 1- One-Ton Wrecker
- 1- Medium Flatbed Wrecker
- 1- Motorcycle Dolly (Specially design for motorcycles.
It allows one man to load the bike on the flatbed safe
and secure)
- 1- Front-end Loader
- 1- Tractor for pulling trailers
- 1- 50' Refer trailer
- 1- 28.5' Low-bed
trailer
- 1- 4 horse trailer
- 1- 2 horse trailer
- Watercraft and
diving equipment
We have plenty of space to turn a rig around.
We offer a gated secured area for storage guarded by
dogs. Joyce's residence is on the property
therefore when the dogs bark she is alerted. A
well fenced paddock for horses.
All maintenances are performed by a licensed truck
and coach class "A" mechanic in fully equipped and
heated 40' by 80' shop. This allows us to do our
maintenances right and keep our fleet operational and
ready for your call. The shop is also used as a
temporary storage area for goods that need to be store
out of the weather or kept warm. As you can see we
are at your service.
Our geographical located on Hwy 17 across from
the Husky Truck Stop 3 kilometer from the intersection
of Hwy 11/17. The Junction is the hub where east, west and north meet and
their is no way around it other that going via the US.
We consider ourselves in a strategic position to quickly come
to your aid should the need arise.
We live in a harsh
environment and each season brings its own pitfalls for
motorist on our northern highways. If not black
ice or snow storms it is wild animals or unskilled
drivers causing havoc during the holidays seasons and
more. Best Towing hopes that your travels go
without consequence but should you require our help we
are committed to give you the best service available
anywhere, getting back on the road quickly and safely trying to keep costs down. Our business is to lend a
hand when you need it most.
