Heavy-duty towing
A loaded tractor-trailer is not a bigger car. It needs a rated wrecker, a rated operator and a plan before anything gets hooked. That is what we send.

Medium duty towing is the middle of the weight range: box trucks, straight trucks and delivery vans too heavy for a car carrier and too light to need a full tractor-trailer rig. Titan Tow & Repair matches the truck to the unit, a rollback flatbed for lighter ones and the heavy-duty tow unit or the heavy wrecker for a loaded 26-footer. Medium duty truck service in Missouri and Kansas also comes to the vehicle, because the mobile service truck repairs air, brake, battery, cooling and tire faults where it stopped.
A box truck tow company near me needs the right truck and an answer fast, so give dispatch the door-label GVWR, the body length and whether the box is loaded. The same goes for a straight truck tow company near me: dump bodies, flatbeds and stake trucks are matched to a tow unit rated for them before anything rolls. Fleet and one-off calls go to the same number, (816) 888-8732.

Read about heavy-duty towingOur service truck carries the parts and the tools. Faster for your driver, cheaper for your office, and the load keeps moving.
Read about mobile truck repairThe same yard that runs the heavy wrecker runs the rollbacks, so a car gets the same answer at 3am that a semi does.
Read about light-duty towingBad rigging wrecks loads and hurts people. Recovery is the part of this job where training is the whole difference.
Read about winch-outs & recoveryYes. The mobile service truck comes to a stopped box truck 24 hours a day and fixes air and brake faults, batteries, starters, alternators, cooling problems and tires where it sits. If it cannot be fixed safely at the roadside, the rollback flatbed or the heavy-duty tow unit takes it in. Give dispatch the body length and the fault: (816) 888-8732.
Yes. Call (816) 888-8732 and ask for an account. We take your billing contact and vehicle list once, and after that dispatching a truck is a single phone call with the unit number — no card at the roadside and no driver trying to authorize a job he has no authority to authorize. Invoices carry the vehicle, driver, location, time and destination, which is normally what an office needs to reconcile the charge against a run.
Yes, and most fleets prefer it. Tell us the destination when you call and the vehicle goes straight there rather than through our yard, which is both faster and cheaper than a two-stage move. Our Liberty yard is available if you need somewhere to hold a unit — overnight, over a weekend, or until a decision gets made about it — and it can be collected from there at any hour.
Often, yes. The heavy wrecker, the heavy-duty tow unit, the rollback flatbeds and the mobile service truck all run from one yard in Liberty, so two units down in the metro is a normal day rather than a crisis. What we will not do is promise unlimited capacity: if a storm has half the metro calling at once, we tell you where you are in the queue. Dispatch can plan around an honest hour, not a promise that slips.
Yes — Titan Tow & Repair's fleet invoices are built for DOT and insurance files. Every fleet invoice carries the unit, driver, location, time, destination and the nature of the work — the fields a claims adjuster or a safety department actually needs to close a file, and the reason offices stop chasing us for reconstructed receipts. If your carrier or insurer needs a specific format or reference on the paperwork, tell us at account setup and it goes on every invoice automatically after that.
Yes, where the carrier and policy allow it — Titan Tow & Repair accepts insurance billing, so tell us who the insurer is when you call and we will confirm rather than guess. We work with insurers and provide the documentation claims departments ask for: vehicle, driver, location, time, destination and the nature of the work. Where a carrier will not bill direct, we invoice you and give you paperwork in the form the claim needs, which usually settles faster than a reconstructed receipt.
It is quoted per job rather than from a flat price list, because a box truck can need either of two different trucks. A lighter box van or cutaway may ride a rollback flatbed; a full-size straight truck, especially a loaded one, generally goes behind a wrecker, with the driveline protected and any air brakes released before it moves. How far it is going, and whether it has to be winched out first, change the price too. Call (816) 888-8732 with the GVWR from the door label, the body length and the load, and you get a price and an ETA before the truck rolls.
Yes. Box trucks and straight trucks are medium duty, and we both tow and repair them. A lighter box van or cutaway may ride a rollback flatbed; a full-size or loaded straight truck generally goes behind a wrecker. When the fault is air, brakes, a battery, cooling or a tire, the mobile service truck can often repair it where the truck stopped instead. Call (816) 888-8732 with the body length and the load.
Titan Tow & Repair tows them around the clock, anywhere in the Kansas City metro, northwest Missouri or northeast Kansas. Smaller box vans and cutaways usually fit on a rollback flatbed, while a 26-footer or a loaded straight truck goes on the heavy-duty tow unit or the heavy wrecker. Give dispatch the door-label GVWR, the body length and whether it is loaded, and the truck is matched before it leaves: (816) 888-8732.
Usually within about 60 minutes across most of the Kansas City metro, 24 hours a day, with a real ETA given to the driver or the office on the phone. Dispatch by unit number: give us the unit, where it is and the destination shop, and the right truck comes the first time. (816) 888-8732.
