Produce Goes Bad During I-35 Heavy Towing On I-35 heavy towing occured when an accident knocked out almost every cross member of the frame of a trailer. The reefer trailer hit a pole pretty darn hard. It was full of produce which meant we had to do a lot of unloading and loading…and it was a good thing we brought out our trailer dolly. Check out the photo how our team stabilized the floor of the reefer trailer that allowed

Maneuvering in a Small Space for Heavy Truck Towing On a recent Saturday, we got a call for heavy truck towing when a tractor trailer loaded with 53K lbs of sand rolled over.  This heavy towing job was a tricky one because we didn’t have a lot of room to move.

Impounded Pumpkin Locked Up by Towing Company Our towing company got called to impound a giant, decorative pumpkin by the local police.   They felt the pumpkin was road debris and a traffic hazard.   We imagined that if the pumpkin were real, we could have made 1,000 pumpkin pies.

We received a wrecker service call on the evening of October 3, 2019, from a friendly towing service the next county over.

We positioned our two heavy wreckers to slide his truck

Concrete Mixer Truck Needs Heavy Equipment Towing Here near San Antonio, we had a heavy equipment towing situation last week that was the adult equivalent to playing in a sandbox.  Remember, being a kid and playing in the sandbox. You had your dump truck and your crane and your concrete mixer truck.  Last week, we got a call, and we got to play in a real sandbox. A concrete mixer rolled over. During the rollover, it managed to shear off its

Boat and Trailer Piggyback on Landoll Trailer Heavy Towing was needed when a trailer broke last week near San Antonio. A truck carrying a 26-foot boat was forced to stop in Marion, TX.   The driver couldn’t continue to his home in San Antonio as the frame of the trailer holding the boat broke. Now, if a broken trailer is close to water, you simply back it up and put back into the water and wait for a new trailer, but that wasn’t

Challenge of Heavy Duty Towing with Auto Traffic and Frac Sand Heavy duty towing was required in San Antonio last week with a semi truck hauling tons of frac sand.  While one grain of sand is nearly as light as dust, 48,000 pounds of sand can strain even the sturdiest roadside, towing equipment.  Mission Wrecker was called when a trailer neck gave way while loaded with 48,000 pounds of frac sand. The tons of frac sand recovery was made more complex
