What it costs
Local tows start at $80 hook-up + $4 per loaded mile (day rate, first 22 en-route miles free), roadside calls from $75 flat, motorcycles from $125, and heavy-duty from $350. From there the truck, the load, and the distance set the figure — the calculator up this page computes your exact number in about 60 seconds, before anyone rolls.
Your exact number comes from the live pricing engine — on screen in about 60 seconds or confirmed on the call before any truck leaves. No surprise add-ons, and never a different price on arrival.
What moves the price
A sedan on a flatbed is light-duty. A loaded semi, RV, or piece of equipment needs a bigger truck and rigging — that's the biggest price lever.
A short hop across town versus a cross-county haul. Local light-duty tows are a flat hook-up plus a per-loaded-mile rate, quoted up front.
A clean lot is simple. A ditch, a steep embankment, a rollover, or a tight underground garage takes more time and gear.
We answer and roll 24/7. Day, evening and overnight rates differ — the calculator applies the right one automatically, confirmed before dispatch and never sprung.

Towing questions
Every price is quoted before we dispatch, never after — and instead of printing ranges that go stale, the calculator on this page computes your exact number in about 60 seconds from the levers that actually set it: vehicle and weight class, distance towed, difficulty on scene, and time of day. Roadside fixes are flat-priced the same way. It is the same live engine our dispatchers quote from, so there are no surprise add-ons and never a different number when the truck arrives.
Around a 30-minute average across the Milwaukee area, depending on where you are and traffic. We answer live and dispatch the nearest truck, and the dispatcher gives you a real ETA on the call — not a canned promise.
