Heavy-Duty

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

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 is answered 24/7 for fleet and refinery-corridor breakdowns.

What do drivers ask about Heavy-Duty?

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.
