Heavy-Duty Towing

Heavy-duty towing. Up to 50,000 pounds GVWR.

Box trucks, rental moving trucks, step vans, dump trucks, RVs, buses, and port 18-wheelers need a rotator or heavy-duty wrecker - not a light-duty rollback. The heavy operators in the network run Class 7 and 8 wreckers with integrated booms, underreach, and heavy winch capacity, up to 50,000 lb GVWR across the Coastal Bend. The line takes calls 24/7 for fleet and refinery-corridor breakdowns.

What do drivers ask about Heavy-Duty Towing?

Is there semi truck towing near me in Corpus Christi?

Yes. Semi towing near you in the Coastal Bend runs on Class 7 and 8 wreckers, not a rollback, and the operators cover the port, the refinery routes over the Harbor Bridge, I-37, US-77 and US-181. Give the dispatcher the tractor and trailer weight, whether it is loaded, and whether the drive axles turn. That decides which rig comes.

Do you do heavy duty tow and heavy wrecker service near me?

Yes. A heavy-duty tow near you covers anything a light-duty truck cannot legally lift: box trucks, dump trucks, buses, motorhomes and loaded 18-wheelers up to 50,000 lb GVWR. Heavy wrecker service is dispatched 24/7 across Nueces and San Patricio counties. Call (361) 967-8088 with the vehicle class and the location.

Can I get semi truck roadside assistance near me instead of a tow?

Often, yes. A lot of commercial calls are a jump on a dead tractor battery bank, a fuel drop, or an air-system problem rather than a tow. Say what the truck is doing when you call. If it can be fixed on the shoulder the operator does that, because it costs you less than a heavy tow and gets the load moving sooner.

What counts as heavy-duty towing?

Anything over roughly 10,000 lb GVWR - box trucks, delivery vans with cube bodies, step vans, shuttles, buses, RVs, dump trucks, 18-wheelers, and medium-duty commercial vehicles. If you're not sure whether your vehicle qualifies, give the make and model when you call so the right class of truck gets sent.

How much does heavy-duty towing cost in Corpus Christi?

Heavy-duty hook fees start around $400 plus mileage and run to $850 or more depending on equipment. Complex scenes with winch-outs, underreach recovery, or accident staging are quoted on the scene. Ask the operator for a written estimate before work begins.

Can a Penske or U-Haul moving truck be towed?

Yes. Rental moving trucks (16-, 20-, 26-foot) all fall under heavy-duty towing. Call the rental company first - they often have contracted roadside coverage that handles the tow at no cost to you. If not, call here and the job goes to a heavy operator.

Are commercial fleet breakdowns handled?

Yes - fleet and commercial breakdown calls are routine heavy-duty work in the Coastal Bend. Call (361) 967-8088 and say what your operation runs so the right truck responds.

How long does a heavy recovery take?

A clean hook-up on a disabled truck takes 30-45 minutes on scene. Accident recovery with law enforcement on scene can take 1-3 hours depending on the situation. The operator coordinates with Texas DPS, local PD, and insurance adjusters so you do not have to.
