Titan Tow & Repair covers Daviess County, Missouri, around the clock from our yard in Liberty, MO. From Gallatin, the county seat, to I-35 and US-69 in the west and Route 6, Route 13 and Route 190 across the rest, we tow heavy, medium and light duty, handle winch-outs and recovery, and repair trucks, trailers and tires at the roadside.
Daviess County has two road systems. In the west, I-35 and US-69 run past Pattonsburg, and Winston sits on US-69 in the south-west of the county. Across the middle, Route 6 runs from Altamont north-east to Gallatin, the county seat, where it crosses Route 13, and carries on toward Jamesport, which sits on Route 190 just south of it. Route 13 continues north from Gallatin to Coffey, and Route 190 heads south from Jamesport to Lock Springs, then east-southeast into Livingston County toward Chillicothe.
Plan around the Grand River. It cuts through the county, passing east of Gallatin and south-west of Lock Springs, and Big Creek joins it south-east of Pattonsburg. The 1993 flood forced Pattonsburg to move, so treat the bottoms along both as flood country. The east of the county around Jamesport is home to the largest Amish community in Missouri. Winters are very cold and snowy. On I-35, give the mile marker and your direction of travel; everywhere else, give the route number, the nearest town and which side of the Grand River you are on.

Gallatin, the county seat, stands where Route 6 crosses Route 13, with the Grand River flowing past just east of the city. The Daviess County Courthouse, the A. Taylor Ray House and the old Rotary Jail and Sheriff's Residence, the “Squirrel Cage Jail” now kept as a museum, are all on the National Register. The first confirmed bank robbery involving Jesse James happened here in 1869.
Jamesport, in the east of the county on Route 190 just south of Route 6, has several Amish schools and a Mennonite school around town. Gallatin lies to the south-west and Trenton, in Grundy County, to the north-east. The name honors two first settlers called James: James Gillilan and James Allen.
Pattonsburg moved after the Great Flood of 1993 devastated the old town, and residents chose higher ground north of the original site. The new town is in the north-west of the county, just west of US-69 and a short way west of I-35, with Big Creek passing to the east on its way to the Grand River.
Winston sits on US-69 in the south-west of the county, with Cameron to the south-west in the corner of Clinton County. It began in 1871 as Crofton's Depot, when the railroad reached it. Its Rock Island Line station still stands as a museum run by the local historical society, and the James-Younger Gang is believed to have robbed a Rock Island train at Winston in 1881. Winters here are very cold and snowy.
Altamont is on Route 6 north-east of Winston, and the same highway carries on north-east to Gallatin. Laid out around 1890, it was the youngest town in the county and was named for its lofty elevation; its children attend Gallatin R-V schools.
Coffey sits on Route 13 in the north-central part of the county, with Jameson to the south and Gallatin further south along the same highway. B. H. Coffey laid it out in 1856 as Coffeyburg, after an earlier name of Salem, and the post office has used the name Coffey since 1910.
Harrison Township is a civil township of Daviess County, named for President William Henry Harrison. It lies north of Breckenridge and west of Chillicothe. Because a township is an area rather than a town, give dispatch the road you are on, the nearest crossroads and your direction from Breckenridge.
Jameson was laid out in 1871 under the name Feurt Summit, though its post office has been called Jameson since that same year. The village is the base of the North Daviess R-III schools. Coffey lies to the north, and Jameson sits west of Trenton and north-east of Maysville, so give dispatch your road and your direction from the village.
Lock Springs is on Route 190 south of Jamesport, in the south-east of the county, and the same road runs on east-southeast to Chillicothe in Livingston County. The Grand River passes to the south-west, and the village was once on the Wabash Railroad.
Gilman City extends into north-eastern Daviess County, but most of it is in Harrison County, whose section describes it.
No. Titan Tow & Repair needs to know which one you mean, because they are separate sites. Old Pattonsburg is the original town, devastated by the Great Flood of 1993; residents rebuilt on higher ground to the north, and that newer town is today's Pattonsburg, just west of US-69 and a short way west of I-35. If you are down at the old site, say so plainly and give the road you came in on. Near the new town, give your road and your direction from US-69 or the interstate, plus the mile marker if you are on I-35.
Call first. Titan Tow & Repair would rather rig a clean winch-out than dig out a vehicle that has spun itself down to the frame, and every attempt to drive out of soft river-bottom ground tends to sink the wheels deeper. The Grand River flows past just east of Gallatin, so say whether you are in the bottoms on that side of town or up on Route 6 or Route 13. Then tell us how far you are from solid road, whether a trailer is hitched and whether the vehicle is upright.
Often, yes. Titan Tow & Repair's mobile service truck repairs air leaks at the roadside, from lines and glad hands to brake chambers, and it can reach you anywhere on Route 13 between Gallatin and Coffey. Tell us your direction of travel and the nearest town, what the air gauges show, whether the leak is on the tractor or the trailer and whether the brakes have set. If the fault turns out to be one that cannot be repaired on the shoulder, a heavy wrecker takes the unit wherever you want it.
