24/7 tow truck service in Kearney, MO: semi and heavy-duty towing, recovery and truck repair

Towing in Kearney, on I-35 between Liberty and Cameron

Kearney grew out of two settlements. Centerville was founded in 1856 in what is now the south-east of town, and in 1867 John Lawrence laid out a second settlement beside the new Kansas City and Cameron Railroad, part of the Hannibal and Saint Joseph, whose president was Charles E. Kearney. The two merged and were incorporated as Kearney in 1869, and the line still operates as the BNSF. Jesse James was born on the family farm north-east of the town site in 1847 and now rests in Mount Olivet Cemetery in Kearney.

Heading north from Liberty, I-35 leaves US-69 and makes a north-northeast course to Kearney, then carries on past Lake Arrowhead and Wallace State Park to Cameron. Route 92 comes east from Smithville Lake, crosses I-35 and meets Route 33 immediately after, all inside Kearney, then runs on south of Watkins Woolen Mill State Park to Excelsior Springs. Route 33 comes up from Liberty to Route 92 in town and then passes under I-35 on its way north toward Holt.

Semi and car towing in Kearney

When a tractor-trailer stops on I-35 at Kearney, the first question is what failed: air, tires, lights and batteries can often be fixed on the shoulder by the mobile service truck, and anything else goes behind the heavy wrecker. For a car, pickup or van, the order is roadside help first, then a rollback flatbed if it still will not move. Semi and heavy-duty towing on the I-35 corridor north of Liberty runs around the clock.

Kearney tow truck service on Route 92, the road in from Platte City and Smithville

Much of the traffic that reaches Kearney from the west comes along Route 92. It leaves I-29 at exit 18 near Platte City, traces the northern boundary of Kansas City and enters Clay County, where it meets US-169 at the southern edge of Smithville. From there it runs east, south of Smithville Lake, for roughly 11.5 miles to I-35 at exit 26 in Kearney, where the interstate carries Route 110, the Chicago–Kansas City Expressway. On that road, tell dispatch the last junction you passed, your direction and the nearest crossroad.

On that stretch of Route 92 a stalled car, pickup or van may get a jump or a spare before anything is loaded, and a rollback flatbed takes it when it still will not move. One that has dropped a wheel off the edge is a winch-out before it is a tow. A semi or loaded truck is for the heavy wrecker. Titan Tow & Repair works from the Liberty yard around the clock, so describe the vehicle and your spot.

Kearney tow truck service for cars and pickups, plus roadside assistance

Kearney has two I-35 exits of its own: exit 25 at 19th Street, a diverging diamond interchange, and exit 26 at Route 92. Northbound, the next exit after those is 33 at Holt, so on that stretch the mile marker is the best way to tell us where you are. In town, Route 92 meets Route 33 where it runs as Jefferson Street, signed for the business district. Kearney High School and the town's Mid-Continent Public Library branch are fixed points, and the James Brothers' House and Farm, owned by Clay County, sits about 2.25 miles east of Kearney. 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, and a rollback flatbed when it still will not go. A semi, a loaded box truck or a bus gets the heavy wrecker. If a truck or pickup has stopped around Kearney because of the trailer rather than the engine, such as a dead light circuit, a brake problem, a broken air line or a flat, mobile trailer repair may fix it where the trailer sits. Tell dispatch what is attached, whether it is loaded and what it is doing.
