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 is needed.
How much does heavy-duty towing cost in San Diego?
Cost comes down to the weight class, the equipment the job needs, and time on scene. Complex scenes with winch-outs, underreach recovery, or accident staging are quoted on the scene. Ask for the 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 dispatch directly.
Do you work commercial fleets on contract?
Yes. Fleet accounts are set up through us and the heavy-duty work is done by operators in the network. Rates and terms are agreed in writing with the fleet. Call (858) 923-5787 to set one up.
How long does a heavy recovery take?
A clean hook-up on a disabled truck takes 30-45 minutes of work on scene. Accident recovery with law enforcement present can take 1-3 hours depending on the situation. The operator coordinates with CHP, local PD, and insurance adjusters so you do not have to.
