What we run into in Agency
Agency was a ford on the Platte River before it was a settlement, and it was laid out in 1865 on the former site of an agency for the Sac and Fox Indians, which is where the name comes from. The village sits south-east of St. Joseph, with Easton to the north-east, Gower to the east, De Kalb to the south-west and Dearborn to the south. The main roads nearby tie those towns to St. Joseph and Kansas City. US-169 and I-29 both run between the two cities, Route 31 crosses Easton on its way between US-36 and US-169, and Route Z and Route Y serve Dearborn, just east of US-71. The Platte River is the feature to plan around, because a vehicle that leaves the road near the water usually needs a winch-out before it can be towed.
Give dispatch the road you are on and the last town you passed, whether that was Easton, Gower, Dearborn or St. Joseph. If you are near the Platte River, say which side of it you are on, because the river decides which way our truck comes in.

Towing in Agency — common questions
My car slid off toward the Platte River near Agency. Can it be winched back up?
Yes. Titan Tow & Repair winches cars, pickups and trucks out of mud around Agency, including vehicles that have slid off toward the Platte River, the river Agency first grew up beside as a ford. Tell dispatch how far the vehicle is from the pavement, whether there is standing water around it and whether it is still upright. The wrecker or rollback flatbed works from firm ground with its winch line, then carries the car to the garage you choose. If anyone is hurt or the vehicle is in the water, call 911 first.
Which roads should I mention if I break down between Agency and St. Joseph?
Name the numbered highway first, then the last town you passed. Titan Tow & Repair dispatches to any road between Agency and St. Joseph around the clock, and the main routes are US-169 and I-29, which both run from Kansas City up to St. Joseph, and Route 31 through Easton, which links US-36 and US-169. On I-29, add your direction and the mile marker or the last exit. On a county road, a crossroad name, a farm entrance or a church tells us more than a guess at the distance.
