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.

| What comes out | Tell us when you call | |
|---|---|---|
| Semi tractors and loaded trailers | A heavy wrecker with rated rigging | Tractor and trailer type and what it is loaded with |
| Buses and motorcoaches | A heavy wrecker, the same as a tractor | The length and rough weight |
| Hot shots with gooseneck or flatbed rigs | The unit that suits it, not whatever is free | The trailer length and whether it is loaded |
| Stuck, jackknifed or rolled units | A recovery with WreckMaster-certified operators | How the unit is lying and whether it is loaded |
| Cars and pickups | A rollback flatbed | The vehicle and where it is sitting |
A dump truck is a heavy straight truck, so it rides the heavy wrecker rather than a rollback flatbed. The operator lifts it at the rated points, disconnects the driveline so the rear wheels turn freely and releases the air brakes so nothing drags. Whether the body is empty or loaded changes the rigging, so tell us which when you call. A dump truck sunk in soft ground at a job site or gravel pit has to be pulled out before it can be lifted, which is winch-out and recovery work done by WreckMaster-certified operators. How dump trucks and construction equipment get towed walks through the rigging step by step.
Box trucks and other straight trucks are towed the same way when they are heavy enough to need the boom. A semi trailer can also move on its own when the tractor is down, gone or already at a shop. The heavy wrecker or the heavy-duty tow unit lifts the trailer at its rated points, and the trailer needs brakes that release, working lights and the landing gear fully up. Heavy equipment is towed only when it is something the heavy wrecker can lift. Call (816) 888-8732 with the unit type, whether it is loaded and where it sits.
Tractor-trailer towing is the core of the heavy wrecker's work. A tractor-trailer, big rig or 18-wheeler is far too heavy for a rollback flatbed, so it is lifted by the heavy wrecker or the heavy-duty tow unit. The operator checks how the trailer is loaded, whether the brakes release and which axles can stay on the ground, then moves the whole combination or drops the trailer first. Say whether the big rig tow is for a tractor alone, a loaded trailer or both.
Commercial truck towing covers the other heavy units that share the road with them: dump trucks, buses and straight trucks too big for a flatbed. A commercial truck tow starts with three facts, what the unit is, whether it is loaded and where it sits.

Kansas City is a freight city before it is anything else, and a heavy call here is usually an interstate call in traffic. Where the unit sits decides everything about how it comes out.
Heavy-duty towing in Kansas CityThis is home. The yard is inside the city, so a Liberty call does not start with a drive — and a vehicle can be dropped to us or collected at any hour.
Heavy-duty towing in LibertyThe state line is the only thing about this side of the metro that looks simple on a map. Which agency runs the scene, which number you dial and where the mile markers start all change the moment a truck stops in Wyandotte County.
Heavy-duty towing in Kansas City, KSSt. Joseph is the top of the run, not another metro suburb, and a call up here is a real drive for us. That is exactly why describing the unit accurately matters more here than anywhere else we cover — we would far rather get it right on the phone than arrive with the wrong truck.
Heavy-duty towing in St. JosephFrom Route 7 in Blue Springs, I-70 is down to two lanes each way, and at Oak Grove it leaves Jackson County for gently rolling country. A tractor-trailer that stops in a lane out there has shut half its side of the interstate, so on an Oak Grove call we ask where the rig is sitting before we ask what it is.
Heavy-duty towing in Oak GroveTopeka is where I-70 turns into a toll road on its way east, and where the interstate squeezes through downtown on a viaduct while I-470 loops around the south side. Which of those roads a truck stopped on decides who runs the scene and which way the wrecker comes in.
Heavy-duty towing in TopekaLee’s Summit spreads across five highway corridors, three of which close into a triangle around downtown. A stopped tractor-trailer here is found by its highway, its nearest interchange and its heading, so those are the first three things the dispatcher asks for.
Heavy-duty towing in Lee’s SummitMost trailer faults do not stop a trailer moving. They stop it being legal to move, which is worse — the load sits while the paperwork says it cannot go anywhere.

Read about mobile truck repairTitan Tow & Repair does both on one call, 24 hours a day. The heavy wrecker with WreckMaster-certified operators tows the tractor or trailer, and the mobile service truck repairs air, brake, electrical and tire faults at the roadside, so many trucks never need a tow. A truck is usually with you within about 60 minutes for most of the Kansas City metro. Call (816) 888-8732.
Yes. Titan Tow & Repair tows dump trucks across Kansas City, northwest Missouri and northeast Kansas with the heavy wrecker or the heavy-duty tow unit, 24 hours a day. A loaded or empty body changes the rigging, and a dump truck stuck in soft ground is winched out first. Tell us the truck, the load and where it sits when you call (816) 888-8732.
Titan Tow & Repair does. A semi trailer left without its tractor is moved by the heavy wrecker or the heavy-duty tow unit, to a yard, a dock or a shop, once it is safe to travel. Tell us the unit number, where the trailer is parked and whether it is loaded. Call (816) 888-8732 and dispatch will confirm what is needed before a truck rolls.
Yes. Titan Tow & Repair is a semi tow truck service and wrecker service covering the Kansas City metro and the area around it, 24 hours a day. The heavy wrecker is run by WreckMaster-certified operators, and a truck is usually with you within about 60 minutes for most of the Kansas City metro. Call (816) 888-8732, say where the unit is sitting and whether it is loaded, and a person answers.
Titan Tow & Repair prices heavy-duty towing per job, not off a flat menu, because it depends on the truck that has to be sent, 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, on both counts. The heavy wrecker moves loaded semi trailers without the tractor and without unloading the freight, provided the trailer can be made safe to travel: brakes released, lights working, tires and wheel ends sound and the landing gear fully up. 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: a tow moves a unit that is upright on its wheels, and a recovery gets it there without adding damage. How the unit is lying and whether it is loaded decide the plan, so tell us both, plus a photo if one can be taken safely.
Yes, in everyday use: a wrecker is the truck, and "wrecker service" is what people here usually call towing. What matters is the class of truck. A rollback flatbed handles cars and pickups; a semi tractor, loaded trailer or bus needs a heavy wrecker with the boom rating and rigging to lift it. We run both, so describe the vehicle and we send the truck that can move it.
Heavy-duty towing is towing for the heaviest road vehicles: semi tractors, tractor-trailers, loaded trailers, buses and coaches, dump trucks and equipment. They are beyond what a rollback flatbed can carry, so Titan Tow & Repair moves them with a heavy wrecker and rigging made for that weight. Box trucks, straight trucks and fleet vehicles are medium duty, and cars, pickups, vans and smaller RVs are light duty and ride a flatbed.
A heavy wrecker is a heavy-duty tow truck built around a boom at the rear that raises and extends, a set of winches, and an underlift that goes under a truck's front axle or frame to lift one end and tow it. It is the truck for semi tractors, loaded trailers, buses and equipment, including units that are stuck, jackknifed or rolled over. Titan Tow & Repair runs a heavy wrecker and a second heavy-duty tow unit from its yard in Liberty.
Usually within about 60 minutes for most of the metro, with a real ETA for your exact location on the phone rather than a guess. The wrecker leaves the Titan Tow & Repair yard in Liberty, and traffic, weather and exactly where you are sitting decide the real number.
Yes. Round-the-clock heavy-duty towing on the Kansas City interstates is most of what Titan Tow & Repair does. The yard in Liberty sits minutes from I-35, and the heavy wrecker runs I-35, I-70, I-435, I-635, I-29 and US-71 every day, holidays included. A person answers the phone at any hour, and dispatch starts while you are still describing the truck. Call (816) 888-8732 and give the highway and mile marker first.
Yes. The state line runs through the middle of the metro, and Titan Tow & Repair works both sides of it. Kansas City, Kansas and the Kansas side are in the service area the same as the Missouri side, west on I-70 through Lawrence to Topeka and north through Leavenworth to Atchison, plus the interstates that cross the line: I-435 and I-635. Tell us the highway and which side of the line you are on when you call (816) 888-8732.
Yes. Hot shots sit in a gap: heavier and longer than a pickup, lighter than a class 8 tractor, and plenty of companies are set up for only one end. Titan Tow & Repair runs rollback flatbeds, a heavy-duty tow unit and a heavy wrecker from one yard in Liberty, so a dually with a gooseneck or flatbed rig gets the truck that suits it. Tell us the trailer length and whether it is loaded.
Yes. Buses and coaches are heavy-wrecker work and we handle them the same way as tractors — school buses, transit and motorcoaches included. It is one phone number whatever the vehicle, and telling us the length and rough weight is what lets us send the right truck the first time.
Cash, the major cards, insurance billing and fleet account billing. A carrier, a fleet office or an insurer can be billed directly when they have set that up with us, and you get the quote before the wrecker leaves. Call (816) 888-8732 with the unit, the load and the destination.
