Heavy-Duty Towing & Recovery for when the load’s down and the clock’s ticking.

A tractor-trailer on its side across two lanes at rush hour. A loaded mixer that dropped a wheel off the shoulder into the mud. This is not the call for someone who’ll “give it a shot” — it’s the call for the rotator, the air cushions, and the operators who’ve cleared this exact scene before. That’s what we’re built for.

  • Live in-house dispatch — a real person, any hour

  • Rotator & air-cushion recovery

  • WreckMaster & rotator-rigging certified

  • TIMS-trained for live-traffic scenes

  • 9 heavy trucks, staged 24/7

• Who we work for

Trusted for heavy recovery from the I-75 corridor to the Ocoee Gorge.

Different callers, same standard: get it done without turning one problem into two. Here’s who’s usually on the other end of the line when things go wrong.

Law enforcement & fleet dispatchers

Rolled over on the interstate

A tractor-trailer on its side across the lanes at 5 p.m. is everyone’s worst call. We bring whatever’s required—heavies, rotator, and air cushions- work the scene with responders under TIMS traffic-incident protocol, and get the road open—safely and by the book.

Concrete & dump-truck operators

Off the shoulder and spinning

Mixers, dump trucks, and loaded rigs that dropped a wheel off the solid surface and dug in. The load won’t wait, so neither do we — winch-outs and off-road recovery to get you back on hard ground before it’s a total loss.

Owner-operators & national carriers

A driver down, far from home

One call gets a straight answer, the right truck, and a driver who’s looked after — not left sitting for hours. We handle the recovery and hand your office clean paperwork for the file and the insurer.

Parcel, LTL & freight

Loaded, and can’t sit long

Shifted loads and freight on a deadline. We stabilize, upright, or transfer as the situation calls for, and keep the cargo — and your schedule — intact as much as the recovery safely allows.

• The right truck for the job

Recovery isn’t about muscle. It’s about the right tool at the right angle.

The wrong equipment on a heavy recovery doesn’t just fail — it has the potential to cause damage. Here’s what backs every call and what each piece is actually for.

Rotator  THE CENTERPIECE

A rotator uprights rollovers and can perform heavy, awkward lifts from angles a standard wrecker can’t reach. It’s the difference between a successful recovery and prolonging the problem.

Air Cushions  CONTROLLED LIFT

Air bags raise and stabilize loaded trailers back onto their wheels with control — so the recovery doesn’t compound the damage that’s already there.

Landoll  FOR WHAT WON’T ROLL

Hauls wrecked, seized, or low-clearance rigs, machinery, and equipment — loaded low and level when a conventional heavy wrecker isn’t an option.

Lowboy  OVERSIZE TRANSPORT

Lowboy for moving heavy equipment and oversized industrial machinery that a standard trailer can’t legally or safely carry.

Nine heavy trucks and a 25-ton — staged across four yards

Enough heavy duty trucks and equipment that a recovery in Cleveland doesn’t wait on a truck coming back from Copperhill. Our Cleveland, Old Fort, Ducktown, and Chattanooga yards keep a unit closer to the scene.

• Why Trucking Companies Call Us

Heavy Towing & Recovery, Handled Right the First Time

When you call a towing company to rescue tons of cargo and equipment — and a shaken truck driver 300 miles from your yard, you’re trusting that company’s judgment as much as their equipment. Since 2009, we’ve built the training, the certifications, and the processes to make sure the fix doesn’t become the story. That’s why law enforcement, carriers, and owner-operators keep our number.

When you call, here’s what happens.

  • 1
    A real person answers.
    Live, in-house dispatch — not an answering service reading a script. Tell us the vehicle, the load, and the location.
  • 2
    The right truck heads out.
    We match the truck and operator to the job — rotator, air cushion, Landoll — (whatever is required) so the trucks that arrive on scene can actually do the work.
  • 3

    The scene gets secured.
    On every accident recovery, we work under TIMS protocol with law enforcement and DOT, protecting your driver, our crew, and passing traffic first.

  • 4
    It’s done by the book — and documented.
    Accident recovery performed to standard, then written up concisely for your records and to your insurer’s satisfaction.

Paperwork your office and insurer can use

For fleet managers and carriers, the recovery is only half the job — the invoice has to hold up. Our operators are Recovery Billing Unlimited trained, so what you get back is itemized and defensible, not a number scrawled on a slip.

Itemized, standards-based recovery invoicing
Documentation for insurance and claims
Fuel & cargo spills worked safely (HAZWOPER / hazmat trained)
Local & long-distance heavy transport
Fleet inspections & PM checks on tractors and trailers

• Where the heavy calls happen

The interstates and the grades other companies steer clear of

Chattanooga → Cleveland → Charleston / Calhoun
The Ocoee Gorge — where loads shift on the grade
Benton → Etowah → Riceville
Ooltewah → Cleveland → Charleston
Chattanooga corridor
Cleveland bypass & interchanges

Staged out of Cleveland, Old Fort, Ducktown, and Chattanooga, we cover the I-75 corridor, the Ocoee River Gorge on US-64, and the mountain routes toward Ducktown and Copperhill — the places a heavy recovery takes longer and matters more.
