Titan Tow & Repair runs semi towing in Oak Grove, Missouri, at any hour, dispatched from our Liberty yard: 18-wheelers, dump trucks, buses and equipment, with WreckMaster-certified operators on a heavy wrecker. Oak Grove is where I-70 leaves Jackson County as a four-lane rural interstate, and we tow, winch out and recover heavy units along that stretch and out of the truck stop lots at Route H.
From 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.

I-70 narrows to two lanes in each direction at Route 7 in Blue Springs and stays that way until Wentzville, near St. Louis. At Oak Grove, a semi stopped in the right lane leaves one lane for everything behind it, and a recovery that needs the second lane shuts that side of the interstate. That is the Missouri State Highway Patrol's call, and the job is planned around it before the wrecker arrives.
Oak Grove straddles the Jackson–Lafayette county line, and east of town I-70 becomes a rural highway through gently rolling country, with Bates City just south of the road. A truck that leaves the pavement out there ends up in the median or a roadside ditch. Give us the mile marker and your direction, because past Oak Grove a town name covers a long stretch of interstate.
Oak Grove's truck stops are at the Route H interchange, and a heavy tow out of one is not the same job as a tow off the shoulder. A tractor dead at a fuel island, or a trailer with locked brakes in a back row, has to come out through a lot full of parked rigs, so the wrecker is positioned for the turn before anything is hooked. Tell us which stop, which row and whether the trailer is coupled.
On a March night in 2017, an EF3 tornado touched down at Oak Grove's western edge and tracked east across the city. The same kind of weather crosses I-70, and an empty high-sided trailer is the first thing a strong gust pushes over. Uprighting one is rated-rigging work, planned before a line goes on, and it waits until the storm has passed.

Our heavy wrecker leaves Liberty on Route 291, joins I-70 and heads east, so it arrives on the eastbound side. A tractor-trailer stopped in the westbound lanes is reached by running on to the next interchange and coming back, which means your direction of travel changes how the wrecker approaches, not whether it comes. Call with the mile marker and the direction first; the Oak Grove towing page covers the town itself, cars and pickups included.
With two lanes each way there is no spare lane to work from. A rig on the shoulder may be hooked with traffic still moving past, but one in a lane, jackknifed across both, or on its side in the median needs the patrol to hold traffic first. Tell us which of those it is and what the trailer is carrying, and read how a semi gets towed while you wait, so the steps on scene make sense.
The 2017 tornado was the extreme case; wind, ice and blowouts on the rural stretch past Oak Grove can end the same way, with a unit on its side in the median or a tractor folded back against its trailer. Those are recoveries rather than tows, done with rated rigging by WreckMaster-certified operators, and our winch-outs and recovery page explains how a recovery plan is built around the way the unit came to rest and what it is carrying.
Where the truck goes afterwards is your call: your own shop, a dealer, or back to our Liberty yard. The price is set per job by the unit, its load, how far it goes and whether a recovery came first, and our post on what a semi tow costs around Kansas City shows how it adds up. Past Oak Grove you are in Lafayette County, where Bates City and Odessa sit along I-70, and the Lafayette County page covers that stretch.
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.

Oak Grove service pageMost 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.

Not as a rule. For most of the metro, Oak Grove included, a heavy wrecker is usually with you within about 60 minutes, with a real ETA on the phone for exactly where you are. The wrecker comes down Route 291 and out I-70, so tell us the mile marker, which direction you were driving, and whether the rig is on the shoulder, in a lane or in a truck stop lot. If it is in a lane, call 911 first, then us.
No. An owner-operator can call once and pay for the one job; a fleet account only saves paperwork for companies with a list of vehicles. Cash and the major cards, Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover, are fine, and we bill insurance where the policy allows. The tow is quoted on the phone once we know the unit, the load and where it is going, whether that is a shop, a dealer or the Liberty yard.
Traffic control first, then a plan. On the two-lane stretch through Oak Grove, a jackknifed rig can block both lanes of its side, so the patrol holds or diverts traffic before we start. The tractor and trailer are then straightened or separated with rated rigging, checked for leaks and damage, and towed unless the unit is safe to drive. Tell us whether it is loaded, whether anything is leaking and whether anyone is hurt; with injuries or a blocked lane, call 911 before you call us.
Buses and motorcoaches, dump trucks, box and straight trucks, hot shots with their gooseneck or flatbed trailers, and yard machinery like skid steers, lifts and containers, all dispatched from the same Liberty yard the same way as a semi. Give us the length, the rough weight, the load and whether it will still roll and steer; those decide which truck heads out to Oak Grove.
