Information that gets a truck moving

When you call (731) 202-9868, be ready with:

• Highway and direction, and whether you are near the US 64 and SR 22 junction
• Unit type and weight class
• Load, particularly pallets, steel or parts racks
• What happened and whether lanes are blocked
• Who pays: driver, fleet, broker or insurer

The dispatcher gives an honest arrival estimate on the call.

The US 64 and SR 22 junction

The SR 22 route description says the highway joins US 64 westward at Crump as a four-lane undivided highway, then leaves US 64 in Adamsville and returns to a two-lane road. A drop from four lanes to two changes how traffic moves, so for recoveries here we set up warning well back and work from the side that has room.

Industry in town

Ripley Industries, an automotive parts supplier, has its corporate headquarters in Adamsville. Jones Exhaust Systems, Aqua Dynamics Group, Langley Wire Cloth Products and Better Source Supply Company also have major locations. Parts freight is dense and often palletized or racked. A trailer that goes over can scatter a load, and we have a plan for sorting out what stays on the trailer and what must be offloaded before it is lifted.

The McNairy North Industrial Park

Adamsville/McNairy North Industrial Park is a 44-acre public site at Copeland Drive and SR 22, zoned M-2 heavy industrial, with about 3 miles to a four-lane highway and no rail service. With no rail service at the site, freight there moves by truck. If you are inside the park, tell us the street, the gate and the size of the turning area.

Town size

The town was named for George Adams, who ran an inn and stagecoach stop in the 1840s. The town sits at 515 feet and covers about seven square miles, so many of its heavy-truck calls happen on the roads leading out of town rather than in it.

Typical calls

• Trailers jackknifed where the four-lane drops to two
• Box trucks tipped on county roads
• Tractors with loaded racks stuck at a plant gate
• Buses and RVs with engine or tire trouble

What happens after you call

The dispatcher takes your location, unit and load. We send the wrecker that fits, and you get an honest arrival estimate on the call. On scene, the operator walks the unit, sets traffic control, and explains the plan before a chain is hooked. Then we recover, tow and deliver to the yard, shop or terminal you name.
