Heavy-duty towing and wrecker service for semi trucks and trailers

Heavy-duty towing is priced per job, not off a flat menu, because it depends on the truck we have to send, how far it runs, whether the unit is loaded and whether recovery work is needed. Call (816) 888-8732 and we will quote your job before we roll.

Usually yes. A loaded trailer can normally be towed as-is if the freight is secure and the trailer is roadworthy. If the load has shifted or the trailer is damaged, we will tell you on scene whether it has to be transferred first.

Yes. We handle winch-outs, uprighting, jackknifed tractors and load-shift recovery with WreckMaster-certified operators and rated rigging. Recovery is a separate skill from towing and we staff it that way — a tow is about moving a unit that is already sitting right, and a recovery is about getting it there without adding damage. The two things that decide the plan are how the unit is lying and whether it is loaded, so tell us both when you call, and send a photo if it is safe to take one.

In everyday use, yes — a wrecker is the truck, and "wrecker service" is what people in this part of Missouri usually call towing. The distinction that actually matters is not the word but the class of truck. A light-duty wrecker or a flatbed handles cars and pickups; a semi tractor, a loaded trailer or a bus needs a heavy wrecker with the boom rating and the rigging to lift it. We run both, so you do not need to know which one you want before you call — describe the vehicle and where it is sitting, and we will send the truck that can actually move it.

From our Liberty yard we are typically 20 to 45 minutes from most of the Kansas City metro and the I-35, I-29 and I-70 corridors, traffic and weather depending. We give you a real ETA on the phone rather than a guess.

Yes — that is most of what we do. The yard sits in Liberty minutes from I-35, and we run the metro loop and the freight corridors that cross it around the clock: I-35, I-70, I-435, I-635, I-29 and US-71, every day including holidays. A person answers the phone at any hour, not a service taking messages, and dispatch starts while you are still describing the truck. Tell us the highway and mile marker first — on an interstate call that is the detail that matters most.

Yes. The state line runs through the middle of this metro and freight does not stop at it, so neither do we — Kansas City, Kansas and the Kansas side are inside our normal 60-mile working radius from the Liberty yard, the same as the Missouri side. That takes in the interstates that cross over: I-70, I-435, I-635 and the run west toward Bonner Springs. Tell us the highway and which side of the line you are sitting on when you call, because on a metro job that decides the approach more than the mileage does.

Yes. Hot shots sit in an awkward gap — heavier and longer than a pickup, lighter than a class 8 tractor — and plenty of companies are set up for one end or the other but not the middle. We run both ends out of one yard, so a dually with a gooseneck or a flatbed rig gets the truck that actually suits it rather than whatever happens to be free. Tell us the trailer length and whether it is loaded; on a hot shot those two answers usually decide which unit comes out.

Yes. Buses and coaches are heavy-wrecker work and we handle them the same way as tractors — school buses, transit and motorcoaches included. RVs and campers split by size: larger motorhomes go on the heavy side, while smaller RVs, campers and towables ride the light-duty flatbeds out of the same yard. Either way it is one phone number, and telling us the length and rough weight is what lets us send the right truck the first time.
