When Standard Towing Isn't Enough
Heavy-duty wrecker recovery for Class 8 trucks and motorhomes.
A grain truck jackknifes on Highway 101 during harvest season. A Class A motorhome loses power on I-880 near the airport. A fifth-wheel trailer breaks down on I-680 heading south. These calls need rotator wreckers and heavy-duty operators, not light wheel-lift rigs. San Jose Tow Truck's network includes specialists trained for highway clearance, insurance coordination, and safe recovery of vehicles over 30,000 lbs.
When you call with a heavy-duty situation, the operator asks for vehicle make, length, GVWR and what failed. That information determines which heavy-duty towing rig rolls. You get an upfront cost range, realistic arrival time, and confirmation before any work starts. Typical pricing in California runs $80 to $150 for the hook-up, plus $3 to $6 per kilometre. After-hours calls between 10 PM and 6 AM may include a $20 to $50 surcharge, stated clearly when you call.
