Heavy-duty towing. 18-wheelers and commercial trucks.
Springfield runs on trucks. I-44 carries more than 65,000 vehicles a day through the Glenstone-to-Kansas Expressway segment, more than 15,000 of them semi-trucks, and Prime Inc., one of the largest trucking carriers in the country, has been headquartered here since 1980 with roughly 1,700 company drivers and 7,400 independent contractors. Box trucks, rental moving trucks, step vans, and 18-wheelers need a rotator or heavy-duty wrecker, not a light-duty rollback. The operators we send run heavy-duty equipment with integrated booms, underreach, and heavy winch capacity. The line takes calls 24/7.

What do drivers ask about heavy-duty towing?
What counts as heavy-duty towing?
Anything over roughly 10,000 lb GVWR - 18-wheelers, box trucks, delivery vans with cube bodies, step vans, shuttles, buses, RVs, dump trucks, 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 Springfield?
Heavy-duty jobs are quoted once we know the vehicle type and job complexity. Complex scenes with winch-outs, underreach recovery, or accident staging are quoted on the scene. The operator gives a written estimate before work begins and invoices that job.
Do you handle 18-wheelers stuck on I-44 or at the diverging diamond?
Yes. I-44's Glenstone-to-Kansas Expressway segment is a Tier 1 freight corridor carrying 15,000-plus trucks a day, and MoDOT's own $471 million Forward 44 program is rebuilding the I-44/Route 13 interchange specifically because of how much freight moves through it. We line up operators with heavy-duty equipment for exactly this kind of call, anywhere from Strafford east of the city to Republic and Marshfield.
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 line up an operator.
Do you work with freight and logistics fleets on contract?
We can line up heavy-duty operators for fleet calls along the I-44 corridor. Call (417) 221-8911 and we match you with an operator. This brand does not run a licensed-tower fleet account.
