Heavy-Duty in South Houston, TX.
Heavy-Duty for South Houston drivers, handled by licensed Houston area tow operators. Box trucks, rental moving trucks, step vans, dump trucks, RVs, and buses need a rotator or heavy-duty wrecker - not a light-duty rollback. The heavy operators we dispatch run Class 7 and 8 wreckers with integrated booms, underreach, and heavy winch capacity.
Why is heavy-duty different in Southeast & Ship Channel?
Southeast heavy-duty is Houston's densest market: the Port of Houston moves 10,000 trucks a day through its gates, and the Baytown, Deer Park and Pasadena refineries run 24-hour shift traffic. Class 7 and 8 wreckers work the SH 225 and I-10 East industrial corridor around the clock.
