24/7 tow truck in Independence, MO: car and truck towing, semi recovery and roadside assistance

Towing in Independence, the Queen City of the Trails

Independence is known as the Queen City of the Trails because the California, Oregon and Santa Fe Trails set out from it. US-24, known in town as Winner Road and Independence Avenue, links it with Kansas City and Buckner, forms part of the northern border with Sugar Creek and passes the Fairmount Business District, the Truman Presidential Library and Museum and William Chrisman High School, north of the Independence Square. US-40 forms part of the southern border with Kansas City and carries on to Blue Springs.

Truman Road connects Independence with downtown Kansas City: it enters the city with Route 12, passes Van Horn High School, the Maywood Business District, the Truman home and the Square, and leaves with Route FF. Route 7 links US-24 with Blue Springs past the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant, and I-435 runs just outside the western city limits. The Harry S. Truman National Historic Site, the Community of Christ Temple and the Temple Lot are fixed points any driver can name when an address is not to hand.

Semi towing and heavy recovery on I-70 and Route 291 in Independence

I-70 crosses Independence east of I-435 and meets I-470 at a busy cloverleaf southwest of the Independence Center mall, where I-470 and Route 291 turn south together toward Lee’s Summit. Past that interchange the interstate keeps six lanes on to Blue Springs. North of I-70, Route 291 passes over a Kansas City Southern line by Van Hook Park and a Union Pacific line just before Truman Road, then reaches US-24, while Route 7 runs by the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant. Wherever an 18-wheeler, coach, dump truck or box van comes to a stop along them, Titan Tow & Repair can put a heavy wrecker on it, and WreckMaster-certified operators rig the winch-out, stand a toppled trailer back up or clear the accident scene.

Heavy-duty towing is not the whole list. A car nosed into a culvert, or a pickup stuck in mud or snow or halfway down an embankment, is winched back to the pavement as a vehicle recovery, and a rollback flatbed takes it wherever you say. The wrecker reaches Independence from the Liberty yard over the Liberty Bend Bridge on Route 291, day or night. On the phone, give the road, your direction, the closest interchange (Noland Road, Route 291, 39th Street, Truman Road or US-24) and whether you are hauling freight or running empty.

Independence tow truck service: car towing and roadside assistance

On I-70, exit 14 is Lee's Summit Road and exit 17 is Little Blue Parkway, the turn for Centerpoint Medical Center and the Independence Event Center. US-40, where Route 291 crosses it, carries the name Cpl M.E. Webster Memorial Parkway, and Route 78 runs east and west as 23rd Street, once E. Alton Street, and then as Lake City-Buckner Road. Part of the old US-71 Bypass survives as a street called Old 71 Bypass in the Bass Pro area. Cable Dahmer Arena, Crysler Stadium, the National Frontier Trails Museum and the Midwest Genealogy Center are other places a driver can find. Give us the landmark and the nearest cross street.

For a car, pickup or van, roadside assistance comes first: a jump start, a tire change, or a lockout where we can do one. If it still will not run, a rollback flatbed takes it to your mechanic, a dealer or your driveway. A semi, a loaded box truck or a bus gets the heavy wrecker. On I-70 a tractor-trailer with an air, brake, electrical or tire fault may never need a hook at all: mobile truck repair may fix it on the shoulder and send the driver on. Tell dispatch the symptom, the load and the direction of travel.
