Heavy Duty Towing in Huntingdon, TN

Heavy Duty Towing in Huntingdon starts with two roads. US 70 and SR 22 share pavement on the west side of this Carroll County seat, which the 2020 census counted at 4,439 people. Our dispatch answers 24/7 for tractor-trailers, box trucks, buses, RVs, dump trucks and heavy equipment that stop on or near that stretch.

What dispatch needs from you

A driver on the shoulder rarely has time to explain. Have these ready when you call (731) 202-9868:

• Where you are: road, direction of travel, the nearest cross street or exit
• Unit type and weight class: tractor-trailer, straight truck, bus, RV, machine on a trailer
• Loaded or empty, and what is on board, including any placards
• What happened: breakdown, flat, ditch, jackknife, rollover
• Who is paying: you, your fleet, a broker or an insurer

The dispatcher gives an honest arrival estimate on the call. We do not promise a number before we know where you are and what you are driving.

The 14 miles from I-40

SR 22 meets I-40 at exit 108 at Parkers Crossroads. The SR 22 route description puts that interchange at mile 63.5 and the point where SR 22 joins US 70 at Huntingdon at mile 77.4. That is about 14 miles of divided highway north to town. A truck that quits on that run is on a fast road with a narrow shoulder, so the direction of travel matters as much as the mile. Tell us northbound or southbound before anything else, because a wrecker has to reach you on the correct side and may need traffic control to work safely.

Fuel and packaged product

VP Racing Fuels announced a $7 million tank farm at Huntingdon in 2021 for blending, storage and filling of packaged products, on top of more than $4 million it had already invested here. Fuel and packaged fuel products add a question to every call involving a tanker or a box truck from that kind of operation: what is on board, and is anything leaking? Tell us the placards and the shipping papers you can see. That decides the equipment we send and whether a spill response has to be arranged first.

Plant freight on local streets

Hydro-Gear announced a $10 million plant in Huntingdon in 2021, with 375 jobs, for hydrostatic transmissions, transaxles and similar drives. Parts arrive and finished drives leave on box trucks and flatbeds, and those units have tight turns at plant gates and dock aprons. A stuck trailer in a lot is a different job from a jackknife on the highway. It may need a smaller recovery with a careful winch pull instead of a full road closure.

Jobs we handle around Huntingdon

• Tractor-trailers off the shoulder into soft ground beside a field entrance
• Jackknifed or rolled trailers on the divided sections of SR 22
• Flatbeds with a shifted machinery load
• Blown steer or drive tires when no shop is open
• Buses and RVs with air-system or engine failures, towed with the correct hook-up
• Heavy equipment that needs a lowboy or landoll move after a breakdown

Weather and ground

The Huntingdon climate table shows 55.92 inches of precipitation in a normal year and a record low of minus 23 degrees Fahrenheit. Wet fields are the usual trouble, since a loaded truck can sink on a soft shoulder faster than a driver expects. Cold weather brings air line freeze-ups and fuel gelling, and those are fixable on scene or by a tow depending on the unit.
