Frequently Asked Questions
“Tractor services” are for semi-tractor units (the “tractor” in a tractor-trailer rig) and include towing, recovery, swapping a new tractor for one that broke down, transportation, and other heavy-duty rescue work.
We perform maintenance and repairs on semi-tractors (trucks), straight tractors (bobtails), heavy trucks, prime movers, and other equipment.
Yes — we are on call for your heavy-duty tractor services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for breakdowns, accidents, rollovers, or emergency recovery.
Should your semi-tractor become inoperable (for example, due to a breakdown, accident, or mechanical failure), we will remove the disabled tractor and provide a working one. You can resume using your trailer immediately!
Yes — our heavy-duty wreckers can tow or recover tractors with or without a trailer, or “bobtail” (tractor alone).
We accomplish both: we can tow only the prime mover (if required) or the complete combination unit (truck towing trailer) based on load, status, and the customer’s choice.
We employ heavy-duty wreckers, rotator trucks, and specialized rigs capable of both lifting and pulling large trucks — these are designed for tractors, semi-trailers, dump trucks, buses, and other big vehicles.

Include: your location, attached to a trailer y/n, status(driveable or disabled), vehicle type(tractors, semi, bobtail) and if load/cargo is involved. This facilitates sending the right gear.
If the vehicle or load is seriously damaged, overdue, or unsafe, we will assess and inform you of alternative specialist recovery methods. Safety is always the priority.
Yes—we can shuttle tractors (with or without trailers) long distances, subject to equipment availability and scheduling, as well as regulatory restrictions.

No hard limit — distance varies based on the specifics of the job: weight, condition, route, and regulatory compliance. We can help with local or long-haul work.
The rate is also generally dependent on the type of service (tractor swap, full tow, recovery), the condition of the vehicle, mileage, load/cargo, time of day, and the complexity of each job.
Call our dispatch line with the type of vehicle (tractor, bobtail, or trailer), condition, and the location or service needed (tow, swap, recovery, or transportation). We will review and provide our best estimate of cost and turnaround time.
