Our heavy-duty fleet is on standby 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Whether you're stuck on the Anthony Henday in a blizzard or sidelined at a warehouse, our semi truck towing specialists respond with the urgency your business demands.
Damage-Free Under-Reach Technology:

We use state-of-the-art under-reach and wheel-lift systems that secure your rig by the axles or frame without touching the bumper or bodywork. This ensures a “damage-free” journey to the shop, protecting your aerodynamic fairings and chrome.
Certified Heavy-Haul Operators:

Load Stability & Cargo Protection:

We treat every loaded trailer with extreme care, using precision rigging to maintain load stability during transport. Whether you're hauling dry goods, liquids, or heavy machinery, we ensure the cargo stays secure and upright until the final drop-off.
Transparent Commercial Pricing:

We offer honest quotes that account for the weight, distance, and equipment needed, allowing fleet managers to make informed decisions without worrying about hidden “emergency” fees at the end of the line.

Semi-Truck Towing Questions And Answers

Everything you need to know about heavy-duty recovery and transport.

Yes, in most cases. To protect the transmission from overheating while the engine is off, our technicians professionally disconnect the driveshaft or axles before the tow begins. This is a standard part of our damage-free protocol for any long-distance or high-speed heavy-duty transport.

Absolutely. Our heavy-duty wreckers are designed to handle the combined weight of a fully loaded rig. However, if the trailer is unstable or the weight exceeds safe towing limits, we can also provide load-transfer services to move the cargo to a secondary trailer before towing the tractor.

We use specialized heavy-duty under-reach systems. Unlike older methods that might use chains around the frame, our modern lifts cradle the tires or the front axle. This keeps the tow truck's equipment away from your fiberglass hoods, bumpers, and sensitive engine components.

To send the right equipment, it's helpful to know the make and model of the truck, whether it's loaded or empty, and the nature of the breakdown (e.g., engine failure vs. a collision). Also, let us know if you are in a high-traffic area so we can prioritize safety lighting.

While our primary focus is towing and recovery, we do offer minor roadside assistance for heavy trucks, such as battery boosts, air-line repairs, and fuel delivery. If we can't fix it on the spot, we are already there to provide the tow, ensuring you aren't waiting on two different companies.

Yes, we specialize in heavy-duty recovery. We utilize powerful winches and, if necessary, our specialized rotator service to upright overturned trucks and trailers. Our team is trained in “righting” vehicles with minimal further damage to the equipment or cargo.
