What do Dallas drivers ask about Heavy-Duty?
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 are not sure whether your vehicle qualifies, tell dispatch the make and model when you call and they will tell you whether a light-duty flatbed or a heavy wrecker is needed.
How much does heavy-duty towing cost in Dallas?
Heavy-duty work is priced per job by weight, distance, and the recovery involved, a clean hookup costs far less than a winch-out or accident staging, which get priced on the scene. For non-consent tows, Dallas City Code 48A-43 caps a vehicle over 26,000 lbs at $445, and TDLR caps a statewide VSF tow at $489 per unit for vehicles 25,000 lbs and up.
Can you tow a Penske or U-Haul moving truck?
Yes. Rental moving trucks in 16-, 20-, and 26-foot sizes 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, dispatch sends a truck directly.
Do you work commercial fleets on contract?
Fleet operators call the line regularly, delivery fleets, construction companies, and shuttle operators with vehicles across the metro. Call (469) 902-4411 to talk through recurring heavy-duty coverage for your vehicles.
How long does a heavy recovery take?
A clean hook-up on a disabled truck takes about 30 to 45 minutes on scene. Accident recovery with law enforcement on scene can take 1 to 3 hours depending on the situation. The crew works with the officers on scene and documents the job for your adjuster.
