I-65 at Exits 34 and 37, Plant Traffic and the County Seat
Heavy Duty Towing in Bay Minette covers a county seat of 8,107 people (2020 census) and the interstate traffic that passes it every hour. Trucks use I-65 for the long haul, then drop to Bay Minette for plants, warehouses and county business. We recover semis, dump trucks, box trucks, buses and RVs. Dispatch answers 24/7 at (251) 355-4026.
Two I-65 exits for one town
Alabama's I-65 exit list shows Bay Minette access in two places. Exit 34 is State Route 59, toward Bay Minette and Stockton. Exit 37 is State Route 287, the Gulf Shores Parkway, toward Bay Minette and Rabun, and it includes a two-lane on-ramp for I-65 north toward Montgomery. Tell the dispatcher which exit you were nearest and which direction you were headed. A truck on the northbound ramp at 37 and one on the southbound ramp at 34 are on different sides of town, and the wrecker approach differs.
Not on the interstate, but close
Bay Minette sits on high ground near the center of Baldwin County, at 272 feet, about 5 miles east of the Mobile-Tensaw valley and about 6 miles west of the Florida line, which the Perdido River forms. US 31 passes through the center of the city and State Route 59 also runs through it. SR 59 is described as four or more lanes from its junction with SR 287 in Bay Minette south to its southern end at Gulf Shores, so trucks and trailers heading for the coast use it. A breakdown in a turn lane there needs quick lighting and cones.
Plant freight
Business Alabama's 2020 list of the largest industrial employers in Baldwin County names two Bay Minette plants. Quincy Compressors, which makes air compressors and is headquartered in Bay Minette, listed 220 employees. International Paper's corrugated box plant listed 130. Plants like these keep dry vans, flatbeds and box trucks moving through town. A truck broken down at a dock or in a plant lane is a different tow than one on I-65. Give us the plant gate or street, the trailer type and whether it is loaded.
County seat, county work
Wikipedia notes the county seat moved to Bay Minette from Daphne in 1901, and the city incorporated in 1907. County road crews and school buses keep county vehicles on the streets. If a county dump truck, equipment transport or bus breaks down, we can lift it and tow it to a shop. If a police agency or the county requests the tow, tell the dispatcher at the start.
What dispatch asks you
- I-65 exit or road name, plus direction
- Whether you are on the ramp, the mainline or a local street
- Unit type, weight, trailer length and cargo
- Cause: air system, tire, engine, wreck or ditch
- Who is paying, and any company or claim number
Rates you can check
Published heavy tow rate sheets show hook-up fees near $450 and mileage near $9.50 to $10 a mile, with accident recovery by the hour. Storage after the tow often runs about $65 to $100 a day. Your written estimate is the price, not those figures. Call (251) 355-4026 or

Bay Minette Questions
Which I-65 exit do I give for Bay Minette?

Do you tow trucks stuck at plant gates or loading docks?
