Heavy-Duty Towing in Shorewood
Typically 30–45 minutes for a heavy-duty unit to Shorewood, dispatched from our South Side yard ~9 miles out. When a truck is blocking a lane on Capitol Drive (WIS-190) or wedged on a narrow Oakland Avenue block, that's priority — we roll a heavy wrecker, a rotator, or a Landoll 7 days a week. Call (414) 279-5510 for a real ETA.
Heavy-duty tows start at $350 for a semi tractor and $450 for a trailer, RV, or box truck, with per-mile rates published up front — $6–10 per loaded mile and $4 deadhead. Trailer pricing is length-tiered, winching and drive-shaft removal are quoted as line items, and anything over 80,000 lbs gets a custom recovery plan. Call (414) 279-5510 for a scoped price.
Yes — box trucks, motorhomes, buses, and semi tractors and trailers. Shorewood is a dense residential village with no freight terminals, so most heavy calls are delivery and moving trucks on Capitol Drive and around the Oakland Avenue business district. Our heavy wreckers, rotator and Landoll handle the weight and tow driveline-safe to your shop, terminal, or yard. Call (414) 279-5510.
Yes. I-43 runs just west of Shorewood across the Milwaukee River, and a rig stalled on the freeway or on the Capitol Drive / North Avenue approach gets heavy recovery gear and a rotator — we clear the lane and tow driveline-safe. Ice on the river-grade approaches makes these routine winter calls. Call (414) 279-5510.
Yes. The village's pre-WWII grid is tight and car-lined, so a delivery or moving truck wedged on Oakland Avenue or a residential block needs careful recovery — we plan the approach and the parked cars before the truck arrives, then tow driveline-safe. Over-legal loads move on a WisDOT permit; the paperwork is on us. Call (414) 279-5510.
One call reaches a live dispatcher — upfront pricing, typical arrival 30–45 min near the Oakland Ave business district, and a real ETA before anyone rolls.
