Medium & Heavy-Duty Towing & Recovery Savannah · The Port · I-16 & I-95 · Semis · Trailers · Equipment
Open 24 hours — nights, weekends and holidays
Savannah runs on freight. The port, the I-16 corridor and the truck routes feeding both mean the heavy work here is not occasional. Semis, trailers, box trucks, buses and equipment — plus the recovery jobs that come with them when something goes off the road with a load still on it. This is the line that needs the most information on the phone, because sending the wrong truck to a heavy call wastes everybody's afternoon.
What this covers
When it is too big for a flatbed
What to have ready on the call
Heavy calls are quoted on detail rather than on a general description. The more of this you have, the faster a truck is moving: what the vehicle is and roughly what it weighs, whether it is loaded and with what, whether the wheels turn and steer, and exactly where it is sitting — including which side of the interstate and which direction you were heading.
Scene conditions matter as much as the vehicle. Whether it is on pavement or in soft ground, whether there is room to set up, and whether traffic has to be worked around all change the approach. If law enforcement is on scene, mention that too.

Fleets and repeat work
If you run trucks out of Savannah, having an operator who already knows your equipment is worth more than finding one at two in the morning. Call before you need us and we will go through what you run and how you want breakdowns handled.
The same applies to container and equipment moves, which are usually planned rather than emergency work. Those get scheduled, and the quote is worked out from the load and the route rather than from a call-out rate.
Questions
Heavy calls
What size vehicles can you actually handle?
Light duty through heavy — cars and pickups at one end, semis, loaded trailers, buses and equipment at the other, with box trucks and medium-duty in between. The question that matters more than size is weight and whether it is loaded, since a loaded trailer and an empty one of the same dimensions are different jobs.
Do you handle recovery, not just towing?
Yes. Recovery is vehicles that have gone off the road, onto their side, or into ground they cannot get out of, and it is a different discipline from hooking up something sitting in a lane. Setup drives the time — how far off it went, what it is sitting in, and whether there is room to work. Describe those three and we can price it before leaving.
Can you move shipping containers and equipment?
Yes, and it is regular work given the port. A container move or an equipment haul is planned rather than emergency work, so it is quoted from the load, the pickup point and the destination rather than from a call-out rate. Give us the dimensions and weight if you have them.
I am a driver stuck on I-16 or I-95. What should I do first?
Get yourself safe before you get the truck sorted. If anyone is injured or you are blocking a live lane, call 911 first. Put out your triangles if it is safe to do so and get clear of traffic. Then call us with your mile marker, your direction of travel, what you are hauling and whether the wheels still turn.
