What to tell dispatch

  • Say Lawrence, Kansas, and distinguish City streets, the Kansas Turnpike, KDOT routes, KU property, and unincorporated Douglas County.
  • For I-70 or K-10, give direction, exact exit or marker, mainline or ramp, shoulder side, and a map pin.
  • For downtown or campus, name the exact street, building, lot or garage, public entrance, level, posted clearance, and access rule.
  • Report wheels, tires, steering, brakes, keys, crash damage, leaks, vehicle size, grade, and whether the vehicle can roll.
  • Name the destination and confirm that the property or receiving facility authorizes access and can accept the vehicle.
  • Check KanDrive, City construction and traffic pages, and Turnpike instructions; do not cross highway lanes or enter a restricted campus, garage, or work zone.

Ask live dispatch to confirm the complete price before assignment. Pickup, destination, mileage, access, roadside materials, loading or recovery work, waiting, tolls, storage, and required equipment can affect the estimate. Police-directed, impound, turnpike, or statutory charges are not presented here as Tommy's voluntary-service rates.

Common road-rescue requests

Local scene safety

Call 911 for injury, fire, a vehicle blocking a live lane, or another immediate danger. On I-70, K-10, U.S. 59, a ramp, or another high-speed road, do not cross lanes, stand in a gore point, or walk along a narrow shoulder. In a garage or on a hill, keep clear of ramps, traffic-facing wheels, low overhead structures, and the loading path. Follow Turnpike, Police, Fire, campus, and property instructions.

Questions drivers ask

Does Tommy's have a Lawrence office or truck stationed in Lawrence?

This page makes neither claim. It is an inquiry guide. Dispatch must confirm current authority, availability, equipment, pickup access, destination, and price for the exact request.

Does this page prove Tommy's is licensed or certified in Lawrence?

No. The exact City license applicability and status and the Kansas carrier certificate for Tommy's operating entity are not verified in this program. The page remains excluded from search indexing.

What should I report from I-70 or the Kansas Turnpike?

Give eastbound or westbound, exact interchange or mile marker, mainline or ramp, shoulder side, vehicle description, and a map pin. Follow Turnpike or responder instructions and do not cross traffic.

Can a truck enter a downtown or KU parking garage?

Only after dispatch confirms property authorization, garage entrance, level, posted clearance, ramps, turns, vehicle position, loading room, and compatible equipment. No fit or access is guaranteed online.

What if Lawrence Police already directed the tow?

Use the Lawrence Police vehicle-tow process to identify the responsible provider and release requirements. Police-directed charges and custody are separate from Tommy's voluntary-service inquiries, and Tommy's does not claim a Police relationship.

Where should I check current Lawrence road conditions?

Use KanDrive for state routes and the City of Lawrence traffic, construction, and road-weather resources for local streets. Conditions can change after the page is published.

How much does a Lawrence tow cost?

Price is job-specific. Dispatch must confirm pickup, destination, mileage, access, loading or recovery, waiting, tolls, storage, roadside materials, and required equipment before assignment.
