Typically 30–45 minutes for a heavy-duty unit to South Milwaukee, dispatched from our South Side yard ~10 miles out. When a rig is blocking a lane on the Rawson Avenue industrial corridor or down at the Bucyrus / Caterpillar complex, 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.

Nicholson Avenue is posted at about 3 short tons — the lowest in the city — and 15th Avenue and Drexel Boulevard at 5 tons, while the Marquette Avenue and Oak Creek Parkway railroad underpasses clear just 12'0". So tall and heavy units get routed onto Milwaukee Avenue (posted ~15 tons) and WIS-32, and we pull any WisDOT oversize/overweight permit before the load moves. The paperwork is on us. Call (414) 279-5510.

A rig down at the Bucyrus / Caterpillar mining-equipment complex or on the Rawson Avenue industrial corridor gets heavy recovery gear and a rotator — we clear the lane and tow driveline-safe to the shop or yard you choose.
