Heavy-Duty Towing in St. Francis
Typically 25–40 minutes for a heavy-duty unit to St. Francis, dispatched from our South Side yard ~5 miles out. When a rig is blocking a lane on the below-grade Lake Parkway (WIS-794) or backing up the Kinnickinnic Avenue commercial-industrial strip, 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 — buses, box trucks, motorhomes, dump trucks, and semi tractors and trailers. St. Francis is a small lakeshore city, so most heavy calls are trucks on the Lake Parkway (WIS-794) or the Kinnickinnic Avenue industrial strip rather than freight terminals. Our heavy wreckers, rotator and Landoll handle the weight and tow driveline-safe to your shop, terminal, or yard. Call (414) 279-5510.
Yes. The John R. Plewa Memorial Lake Parkway (WIS-794) runs below grade with tight shoulders, so a stalled or jackknifed rig there needs heavy recovery gear and a rotator — we clear the lane and tow driveline-safe. Ice settling in the below-grade cut makes these routine winter calls. Call (414) 279-5510.
Yes. Over-legal loads move on a WisDOT oversize/overweight permit with a surveyed route, and heavy units stay on the Lake Parkway (WIS-794) and Kinnickinnic Avenue (WIS-32) rather than the residential grid. We pull the permit and arrange any escort before the load moves — the paperwork is on us. Call (414) 279-5510 to scope a heavy move.
