Heavy Duty Towing with 48k lbs of Frac Sand

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.
