How do winch-outs work?
When a vehicle slides off the road, the operator uses the wrecker's integrated winch to pull it back onto the pavement. On a soft shoulder that takes 15-30 minutes. A vehicle deep in a low-water crossing or hung up on a steep gravel-road embankment takes careful anchor work and rigging, sometimes 1-2 hours. Ask them to explain what they see and what they plan to do before they start.
