Heavy Tows

What Makes a Heavy Tow Different

A box truck or bus can weigh many times more than a car. Its brakes run on air pressure, and they can lock when the air leaks, so the driver may need to release them or lift the vehicle so its wheels do not turn. Drive shafts may also need to be disconnected before a truck is towed on its own wheels.

Those steps take skill and the right gear. A heavy tow also needs a route that works for a long, tall vehicle. A low bridge or tight turn can end a trip, so the driver plans the path before the truck moves. Fleet and box truck breakdowns happen in places like the West End and Downtown Atlanta. Our process page shows what to expect on a call.

Vehicles We Tow

Local Calls

Where Heavy Duty Calls Happen

Big vehicles break down in predictable places around the metro area.

Near the Airport

Cargo vans, shuttles, and delivery trucks keep traffic moving around Hartsfield-Jackson, and some break down on the way.

Fulton Industrial Boulevard

Warehouses and truck yards line this corridor. A box truck that quits at a loading dock needs a tow that fits the space.

The Interstates

I-285, I-75, I-85, and I-20 carry heavy truck traffic all day, and breakdowns here call for quick, careful recovery.

Construction Zones

Work trucks stall on uneven ground. Soft footing changes how the wrecker has to be set up.

Our Process

How a Heavy Tow Runs

Brakes and Driveline

Air brakes are released if needed and the drive shaft is disconnected where required.

Lift or Load

Route and Delivery

The driver follows a route planned for height, weight, and turns, then delivers to your yard or shop.
