Heavy duty towing covers vehicles beyond the weight and size limits of a standard tow truck. We handle box trucks, large cargo vans, and light-commercial vehicles on I-635, I-30, US-80, and the industrial corridors east of Mesquite toward Forney and Seagoville.
Most personal cars and pickup trucks fall within standard tow weight ranges. A vehicle starts needing specialized equipment when it exceeds roughly 10,000 to 12,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, which includes most box trucks in the 16 to 26 foot range, large cargo vans fully loaded, and some dually pickups with equipment attached. If you are unsure whether your vehicle qualifies, tell us the year, make, and approximate loaded weight when you call.
The I-635 corridor east of Dallas sees regular commercial traffic, and breakdowns on the highway itself require a truck with enough capacity to move a loaded van or box truck off a live lane quickly. We run calls along this corridor and into the industrial areas off Highway 352 and the Seagoville Road interchange, where a number of warehouses and distribution operations are located.
Small fleet operators and delivery companies in the Mesquite and East Dallas area sometimes set up a recurring arrangement rather than calling cold each time. If your business has vehicles in this area and wants a reliable contact for breakdowns, call the main number and ask about a commercial account. Pricing is still flat per call, and you get a dedicated contact rather than starting from zero each time.
Towing capacity is set by a vehicle's gross vehicle weight rating, or GVWR. Light-duty vehicles under 10,000 pounds, which covers nearly every car, pickup, and small SUV, tow at our standard rate of $95 to $175 in the Mesquite area. Medium-duty and light-commercial vehicles from 10,001 to 26,000 pounds, including most 16- to 26-foot box trucks and fully loaded cargo vans, need heavier equipment and run $200 to $500 depending on weight and distance. Vehicles above 26,000 pounds, such as loaded semi-tractors and large buses, fall into the heavy Class 7 and 8 range and are outside our current equipment. If your vehicle is in the 33,000-pound-and-up range, call us first and we will tell you right away whether we can help or refer you to a heavy-recovery specialist. Most of these commercial calls come off the warehouse and distribution corridors near the US-80 and I-635 interchange, along Highway 352, and around the Mesquite 635 industrial campus, where box trucks and delivery vans break down during working hours. As with every call, the flat price is quoted before a truck is dispatched, and night or weekend heavy tows may run $25 to $50 higher than daytime rates.
The right equipment for a heavy tow depends on the weight and the situation, not just a bigger truck. A wheel-lift can move many light-commercial vehicles by raising one axle for a short, straightforward tow. A flatbed or rollback carries the whole vehicle on the deck, which is the safer choice for a van that should not roll on its own wheels or a unit with drivetrain damage. Medium-duty trucks in the 10,001 to 26,000 pound range usually call for an integrated wrecker sized to lift and tow that weight in one unit. The heaviest work, loaded semi-tractors and buses above 26,000 pounds, needs a rotator or a landoll trailer, which is beyond our current equipment and where we point you to a heavy-recovery specialist. Tell us the vehicle type and rough loaded weight when you call so we send the unit that matches, or steer you to the right specialist without wasting your time.
