Built for heavy-duty

The right gear, the right people, the first time

Most "roadside" companies turn down semis — or show up with a wrench and a prayer. Our trucks carry torque-rated impact tools, 24V boost packs, heavy-duty jacks rated for tractor weight, and recovery rigging that won't tear up your frame. Every technician we dispatch has worked Class 8 vehicles for years, not weeks.

  • • Torque-to-spec tire installs that protect your wheel hubs
  • • On-hook insurance & commercial liability coverage
  • • Direct fleet billing & dispatcher coordination

How much does commercial roadside assistance cost?

Commercial roadside pricing varies more than passenger roadside because the equipment, time, and risk involved is significantly higher. Here's how we think about pricing — and what generally drives the number up or down.

  • Service type. A jump or lockout is faster (and cheaper) than a steer-tire change.
  • Location. Highway exits and rest stops are quicker reaches than rural backroads.
  • Time of day. Late-night and severe-weather calls carry an after-hours rate.
  • Parts. A repair plug is much less than a new commercial tire.
  • Recovery complexity. A simple winch-out is one rate; a heavy recovery with rigging is another.

What to look for when hiring a commercial roadside company

Real heavy-duty experience

A company that 'also does trucks' isn't the same as a company built for trucks. Ask whether they've worked Class 8 vehicles regularly.

Proper insurance & authority

Damaging a $200k tractor is easy if the wrong tools are used. Confirm liability and on-hook coverage before they touch your truck.

Honest ETA

A vague 'we'll be there soon' costs you hours. Demand a real ETA and live updates.

Up-front pricing

If they won't quote you on the phone, that's a flag. We confirm pricing before we dispatch.

Why cheap commercial service can cost more later

Saving $80 on a roadside call doesn't matter if a bargain operator damages your wheel hub, scratches a fairing, or installs a tire incorrectly and you end up paying for a tow plus shop time. We use the right tools the first time — that's how the math actually works in your favor.
