Roadside calls in Thabong and Virginia are often flat batteries and punctures, especially on frosty winter mornings.

Farmers around Allanridge sometimes need tractors and harvesters moved. Car transport is often booked for students and families moving to Bloemfontein or Gauteng.
Welkom on the road
Welkom is the centre of the Free State goldfields, and towing here follows mine traffic, farm roads and the R30 to Kroonstad and Bloemfontein. The R30 and the R34 connect Welkom with Odendaalsrus, Virginia and Hennenman, and carry trucks, mine buses and farm vehicles. Mine contractors move heavy machinery, while farmers around Allanridge and Hennenman use bakkies and trailers. Hot summers with hail and heavy storms make roads slippery, and winter frost and fog are common. Mine workers, contractors, farmers, taxi owners and families in Thabong and Riebeeckstad ask for tows, lowbeds, tow bars and trailers here.
The requests we see from Welkom usually come from:
- Construction, mining and plant hire: roadside help for site bakkies and light vehicles serving construction and mining projects
- Motorists and families: jump starts, tyre changes and lockouts for commuters, students and families on holiday
- Farmers and 4x4 owners: battery and tyre help for farm bakkies stuck on district roads far from town
