Heavy-Duty

Heavy-duty towing. 18-wheelers to 50,000 pounds GVWR.

Memphis runs on trucks. Lamar Ave/US-78 is TDOT's own top congested state road in the region because of freight volume alone, the Port of Memphis moves cargo barge to truck along the river, and the FedEx Superhub and a UPS regional hub keep a genuine population of commercial trucks moving through the metro around the clock. Box trucks, rental moving trucks, step vans, port and logistics-fleet trucks, and 18-wheelers need a rotator or heavy-duty wrecker - not a light-duty rollback. We run Class 7 and 8 wreckers with integrated booms, underreach, and heavy winch capacity, up to 50,000 lb GVWR, 24/7.

What do homeowners ask about Heavy-Duty?

What counts as heavy-duty towing?

Anything over roughly 10,000 lb GVWR - 18-wheelers, box trucks, delivery vans with cube bodies, step vans, shuttles, buses, RVs, dump trucks, and medium-duty commercial vehicles. If you're not sure whether your vehicle qualifies, tell us the make and model when you call - we'll tell you whether a light-duty flatbed or a heavy wrecker is needed.

How much does heavy-duty towing cost in Memphis?

Heavy-duty jobs are quoted flat once we know the vehicle type and job complexity. Complex scenes with winch-outs, underreach recovery, or accident staging are quoted on the scene. We give you a written estimate before work begins and an invoice the same day.

Do you handle 18-wheelers stuck on Lamar Ave or near the West Memphis interchange?

Yes. Lamar Ave/US-78 is TDOT's own top congested state road in the region specifically because of freight volume, and the I-40/I-55 interchange in West Memphis, AR, where the nation's primary east-west and north-south trucking spines physically cross the Mississippi, is one of the highest-value heavy-duty recovery points in the entire three-state metro. We run Class 7 and 8 wreckers built for exactly this kind of call, and we tell you plainly if a tow crosses into Arkansas or Mississippi jurisdiction.

Can you tow a Penske or U-Haul moving truck?

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, we dispatch directly.

Do you work with the port, FedEx, and logistics fleets on contract?

Yes. We contract with drayage carriers, FedEx and UPS-adjacent fleets, and event-shuttle operators for priority heavy-duty response. Flat monthly or per-call rates available. Call (858) 925-5546 to set up a fleet account.
