What is a Rollback Truck?

Rollback trucks, also known as tow trucks or flatbed wreckers, are vehicles used for transporting vehicles that cannot be driven on their own, such as those that have broken down or been involved in an accident. They have a flatbed that can be tilted back to allow a car or other vehicle to be loaded onto it, then returned to its horizontal position for transport. The term "rollback" comes from the hydraulic system used to tilt the bed, which rolls it back onto the frame of the truck
