Heavy-duty towing. Matched to a truck rated for the weight.
Box trucks, rental moving trucks, step vans, port and logistics-fleet trucks, and buses need a rotator or heavy-duty wrecker - not a light-duty rollback. The Port of Richmond alone runs three-barge, six-day-a-week container service adjacent to I-95, and Amazon's Henrico and Chesterfield fulfillment centers keep a real population of commercial trucks moving through the metro daily. The heavy-duty operators we dispatch run Class 7 and 8 wreckers with integrated booms, underreach, and heavy winch capacity, matched to the vehicle's weight, and 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 - 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 operator is needed.
How much does heavy-duty towing cost in Richmond?
Heavy-duty jobs are priced by the operator once we know the vehicle type and job complexity. Complex scenes with winch-outs, underreach recovery, or accident staging are quoted on the scene by the operator. You get a written estimate before work begins.
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 match you with a heavy-duty operator directly.
Can a fleet set up an account for heavy-duty calls?
Yes. Drayage carriers, fulfillment-center fleets, construction companies, and event-shuttle operators can set up an account so a heavy-duty operator is matched on one call instead of a cold search. Call (804) 701-6752 to set one up.
How long does a heavy recovery take once the operator is on scene?
A clean hook-up on a disabled truck is quick. Accident recovery with law enforcement on scene takes far longer, because the scene has to be cleared in order and the paperwork has to be right. The operator gives you the on-scene picture, and coordinates with VDOT, local police, and insurance adjusters so you do not have to.
