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, 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 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. We give you a written estimate before work begins and an invoice the same day.
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 commercial fleets on contract?
Yes - fleet and commercial breakdown calls are a regular part of heavy-duty dispatch in the Coastal Bend. Call (361) 967-8088 and tell dispatch 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. We coordinate with Texas DPS, local PD, and insurance adjusters so you do not have to.
