When a tractor-trailer is down on I-14, US-190, or I-35, a light-duty rollback is not going to move it — and trying can cause more damage than the breakdown. Semi-truck towing is heavy-duty work that demands a wrecker rated for the load, an operator who knows how to tow a combination without wrecking the driveline, and the right hookup for the situation. That is what we bring to every heavy tow around Killeen.
Our heavy wreckers handle everything from a bobtail tractor to a fully loaded 80,000-lb GVWR combination. We dispatch 24/7 across the Killeen-Temple-Fort Cavazos area, get a real roll time to your driver, and tow the unit to your chosen shop or terminal with the axles, driveline, and cargo protected the whole way.

Towing a heavy combination the right way
A loaded tractor-trailer is not a big car. Hooking it wrong can twist the frame, drag a locked drive axle, or damage the fifth wheel and suspension. We assess whether the unit rolls freely, whether the drive axles need to come off the ground, and whether the trailer can be towed loaded or has to be transferred first.
Depending on the situation we use a proper heavy hookup, drop the driveshaft when needed, and use axle-lift or a wheel-lift setup so nothing that should be turning gets dragged. The goal is simple: your truck arrives at the shop with no towing damage added to the original problem.
Corridor breakdowns around Killeen
The I-14 freight corridor, US-190, SH-195, and I-35 through Bell County put a steady stream of heavy trucks past Killeen, and breakdowns cluster where traffic is heaviest and shoulders are narrow. A disabled rig in a live lane is a safety emergency, so we roll fast, set up traffic control, and get the unit off the roadway before we worry about anything else.
We know the on-ramps, the tight shoulders, and the low-clearance spots around Fort Cavazos and the Killeen-Temple area, so we show up with the right plan instead of figuring it out on scene.
One call for fleets and owner-operators
Fleet managers and dispatchers get a single point of contact, an accurate ETA, and photo documentation of the unit and any damage before we ever touch it. Owner-operators get straight talk about what the tow will cost and where the truck is going.
We bill fleets, insurance carriers, and motor clubs directly and format the paperwork the way your back office needs it, so a breakdown does not turn into a billing headache on top of a down truck.
