Heavy Duty Towing in Bruceton, TN

Heavy Duty Towing in Bruceton serves a Carroll County town of 1,507 people (2020 census) that punches above its size in freight. Bruceton was incorporated in 1925 and named for W.P. Bruce, a railroad vice president who chose the route through it. A 205,000-square-foot distribution hub for kitchen appliances sits here, and its trailers share the roads with everyone else in town. Dispatch answers 24/7.

When the call is about a dock

A hub means more trailers and more drivers who are not from here. If you are one of them, tell us:

• Where you are, as plainly as you can: street, road or nearest landmark
• Tractor-trailer, box truck or straight truck, and the trailer length
• Whether it is loaded and with what
• Whether you are at the dock, at a gate or on the road
• Who pays: driver, carrier, broker or insurer

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

The ZLINE hub

The Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development announced on October 11, 2018 that ZLINE Kitchen and Bath would build its Southeast distribution hub in Bruceton. The facility is 205,000 square feet, represents a $3 million investment, and was projected to bring 74 jobs. ZLINE makes range hoods and kitchen cooktops. Appliance freight is often bulky for its weight, and bulky loads sway and tip. A trailer that rolled into a ditch usually has to be unloaded or restrained before it can be uprighted, and we plan that before we send equipment.

The railroad's place in town

Bruceton's Wikipedia page lists CSX Railroad among major employers and says the town's economy was once built on textiles and railroads. Rail crossings and trucks do not mix well when a trailer hangs up. We cover rail crossing recoveries only after the crossing is clear of trains, and we ask that you call 911 first.

Finding Bruceton from the highway

The SR 114 route description lists Bruceton as a destination on US 70 east at Hollow Rock, where SR 114 and US 70 share about 560 feet of road. SR 114 also crosses I-40 at exit 116, near Natchez Trace State Park. A driver coming from the interstate on SR 114 gets to US 70 at Hollow Rock and follows it east to Bruceton and on to Camden. If you are lost, say the last place you saw a sign for. That is often enough for the dispatcher to place you.

Common Bruceton calls

• Trailers stuck while turning at a dock or gate
• Box trucks with tires blown on rough ground behind the warehouse
• Tractors off the pavement on narrow shoulders
• Buses and RVs with engine or air-system trouble

Size of the town

Bruceton covers 1.68 square miles and sits at 472 feet. That is a short stretch of town street, which means a disabled truck blocks a larger share of the town's road than in a city. We plan traffic control early so locals and fire trucks can get by.

Local hauls

A town this size has a small shop base, so many Bruceton breakdowns end in a tow to a bigger town. Tell the dispatcher where the unit has to go, and whether the destination takes deliveries at night. A heavy hook-up commonly starts near $450 plus $9.50 to $10 per mile on published rate sheets. Rates vary by unit, distance, scene and time of day. Your written invoice estimate is the price.
