When the Big Trucks Break Down

I’ve seen everything on the highway — from a loaded box truck that lost its driveshaft on I-795 to a semi that jackknifed on US-70 East.
When those calls come in, I know it’s time for the big equipment. Heavy-duty towing isn’t just another job — it’s an operation.

At Big Will’s Towing & Recovery, we run full-size wreckers capable of pulling, recovering, and hauling tractor-trailers, dump trucks, delivery vans, and construction equipment.
If it’s big, broke, or blocking traffic, I’m rolling.

Heavy-Duty Means Prepared

Most towing companies stop where the weight starts. Not me.
When I built this business, I made sure we could handle anything that moves:

Class 8 semis (up to 80,000 lbs GCW)
Box trucks & delivery vans with freight still loaded
Heavy equipment like skid steers, backhoes, and roll-offs
Fleet & municipal vehicles that can’t afford downtime

We use heavy-duty air brakes, under-lift systems, and safety chains rated for highway recoveries — all inspected daily.

The Call on I-795: A Fully-Loaded Box Truck

One morning around 6 a.m., I got a call from a produce distributor whose 26-ft box truck quit halfway between Goldsboro and Wilson.
It was loaded down, blocking the shoulder, and traffic was already piling up.

I dispatched the heavy wrecker, cleared the scene, and towed that box truck 30 miles to a repair shop without a single scrape to the cargo.
That’s what we mean when we say “heavy-duty towing done right.”

Highway Coverage That Keeps Freight Moving

We cover every major truck route in Eastern North Carolina:

US-70 East & West – freight corridors between Raleigh and Kinston
I-795 North & South – the artery for regional haulers
US-13 & NC-111 – key farm-to-market runs
Industrial Parks & Logistics Centers in Goldsboro & La Grange

If a truck’s down on those routes, we’re already heading that way.

Load Shifts, Winch-Outs & Recoveries

Sometimes the truck’s upright but the load isn’t.
We handle:

Load shifts & transfers — re-balancing cargo on-site or at the yard
Winch-outs — mud, ditches, construction sites, or farm roads
Accident recoveries — including overturned trailers and multi-vehicle wrecks

Every recovery starts with a scene survey. We don’t guess — we calculate angles, chain ratings, and pivot points before we move a single pound.
That’s how we keep both property and people safe.

Partnering With Fleets & Businesses

Many local companies keep us on speed dial — not just for emergencies, but for reliability:

Delivery fleets in Goldsboro & Mount Olive
Farm equipment dealers along US-13
Construction crews moving machinery
Municipal departments needing quick turnarounds

We offer priority dispatch, detailed invoices, and photos of every job so fleet managers know exactly what was done.
When time is money, that trust matters.

The Difference Heavy-Duty Towing Makes

Anyone can tow a car; not everyone can upright a semi.
We invest in training, hydraulic upgrades, and rigging gear so we can handle the jobs others decline.
That means faster highway clearance, less downtime for truckers, and safer roads for everyone else.

Local Pride, Statewide Reach

Even though we’re based in Goldsboro NC, we’re licensed for statewide recovery.
If a driver breaks down in Kinston, Smithfield, or Wilson, I’ll still take the call — because word travels fast in the trucking world.

Every satisfied driver who gets back on schedule is another reason people search “heavy-duty towing near me” and find Big Will’s Towing & Recovery first.

Safety & Compliance Always First

We stay DOT-compliant with:

Full safety lighting & reflective PPE
Proper load-securement per FMCSA regs
Roadside traffic cones & scene control
Certified equipment inspections every 90 days

We don’t roll without checking every pin, hook, and chain — because shortcuts cost lives.
