Heavy-duty towing. 18-wheelers, box trucks, and commercial recovery.
Boston runs on freight. Conley Terminal and the Marine Industrial Park in South Boston generate heavy commercial recovery, and the Mass Pike, I-93 and I-95 carry national truck traffic straight through the metro. Box trucks, rental moving trucks, step vans and 18-wheelers need a rotator or heavy-duty wrecker, not a light-duty rollback. Give GVWR, class and location when you call so we can match an operator who actually has that rig.

What do drivers ask about heavy-duty towing?
What counts as heavy-duty towing?
Anything over roughly 10,000 lb GVWR - 18-wheelers, box trucks, delivery vans with cube bodies, step vans, shuttles, buses, RVs, dump trucks, and medium-duty commercial vehicles. If you're not sure whether your vehicle qualifies, tell us the make and model when you call. We'll tell you whether a light-duty flatbed or a heavy wrecker is needed.
How much does heavy-duty towing cost in Boston?
Heavy-duty jobs are quoted once we know the vehicle type and job complexity. Complex scenes with winch-outs, underreach recovery, or accident staging are quoted before work starts. You get the number before the operator begins. Same-day invoices aren't guaranteed.
Do you handle 18-wheelers stuck on the Mass Pike or at a port gate?
The Mass Pike, I-93 and I-95 carry heavy commercial truck traffic, and the container trucks running in and out of Conley Terminal and the Marine Industrial Park in South Boston add to it. That volume is why heavy recovery is a common local job. The assigned operator confirms whether they have a Class 7 or 8 wrecker for that call around the Seaport and the port terminals.
Can you tow a Penske or U-Haul moving truck?
Rental moving trucks (16-, 20-, 26-foot) usually need a heavy-duty truck rather than a light-duty rollback. Call the rental company first; some contracts include roadside coverage. If they won't cover it, we can line up a direct pickup, quoted before dispatch. We can't promise the rental company will pay.
Do you work with freight and logistics fleets on contract?
We can take a fleet or logistics call the same way we take a one-off job: quoted before dispatch. There is no published monthly contract, priority-response list, or fleet-account rate on this site.
