Heavy Duty Towing in Bolivar, TN

Heavy Duty Towing in Bolivar is built around long approaches. This Hardeman County seat, chartered on October 18, 1825 and home to 5,205 people in the 2020 census, has no interstate of its own. Trucks arrive on US 64, SR 18 or SR 125, and when one fails, the wrecker often has a long road to drive before the job even starts. Dispatch answers 24/7 so that drive begins as soon as you call.

Give us a road, not an exit

No exit numbers here. Tell the dispatcher:

• The highway and your direction of travel
• The last town you passed and the next one ahead
• Unit type, weight class and whether you are loaded
• What went wrong, and whether the unit is blocking a lane
• Who is paying: you, the fleet, a broker or an insurer

Call (731) 202-9868 and the dispatcher gives an honest arrival estimate on the call.

Three routes, one junction

According to the route descriptions, US 64/SR 15, SR 18 and SR 125 meet in Bolivar. US 64 and SR 18 run together briefly through town, a stretch of about seven-tenths of a mile at mile 69.0 to 69.7, before SR 18 turns north along SR 125. A truck that stalls at that junction can block more than one route at once. In that case the first thing we do is plan where traffic will be held and released, then bring the wrecker in from the side that keeps an escape lane open.

The Hatchie River crossing

North of the junction SR 125 crosses the Hatchie River, about 1.6 miles from the US 64 intersection by the route's mile figures (19.7 to 21.3). River bottoms mean soft shoulders, fog and washed-out edges after storms. When a loaded trailer slides off, the soil decides the recovery. Wet ground can swallow a wrecker's outriggers, so we may lay timber mats or use winch lines from solid pavement instead of working off the edge.

The industrial park on Highway 18 South

The Hardeman County Industrial Park covers 113 acres on Highway 18 South in Bolivar. The county lists US 64 about 4 miles away and Interstate 40 about 32 miles away. It lists the nearest intermodal facility, the Norfolk Southern Memphis Regional Intermodal Facility, at about 42 miles, with the Port of Memphis about 72 miles away. Freight to and from this park has a long haul on two-lane and four-lane state roads. Because the park sits well off the interstate, we ask early whether you need a roadside repair truck or a full tow.

Whitehurst Field and the town grid

William L. Whitehurst Field, a county-owned airport, serves Bolivar. Downtown holds several historic districts, including the Court Square, North Main Street and the Western State Hospital grounds. Buses, RVs and trailers turning around historic blocks tend to clip curbs, signs and low branches. We recover those carefully and photograph the scene for your insurer if you ask.

Rain days

Bolivar averages 56.14 inches of precipitation a year across about 115.7 days with precipitation, with only about 1.7 inches of snow. Rain, not ice, is what puts trucks in ditches here. The record range runs from 109 degrees to minus 18.
