Heavy Duty Towing in Loxley, AL

Heavy Duty Towing in Loxley is built around one interchange. I-10 Exit 44 is State Route 59, and it carries trucks to warehouses and scrap yards, and carries traffic south toward the beaches. Loxley had 3,710 residents in 2020 and calls itself the "Biggest Little Town in Baldwin." We recover tractor-trailers, box trucks, RVs, dump trucks and buses here. Dispatch answers 24/7 at (251) 355-4026.

Exit 44 and SR 59

Wikipedia says I-10 passes through the northern end of Loxley, with access from Exit 44. Alabama's exit list shows SR 59 at that exit serving Loxley, Bay Minette, Foley, Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. Trucks that stop on the ramps or in the turn lanes at this exit have limited room, so we use cones, arrow lights and a second person when the scene needs it. Tell dispatch whether you are on the ramp, on the interstate shoulder or in the signal lane.

US 90 through the middle

US 90 runs through the center of Loxley along Hickory Street. Wikipedia lists it about 5 miles east to Robertsdale, 11 miles west to Spanish Fort and 20 miles west to Mobile. Hickory Street is a town street with business frontages, so a broken-down truck there blocks driveways and turning traffic. A short, clean tow to a lot often solves it.

Distribution and scrap

Business Alabama's 2020 list of the largest industrial employers in Baldwin County names two Loxley firms. The Ace Hardware Support Center, a distributor of hardware products, listed 300 employees. Ecovery, which recovers metals from scrap and supplies raw material to mills, listed 100. A distribution center brings in and sends out heavy trucks all day. A scrap operation moves dump trailers, roll-offs and heavy loaded flatbeds. If one of those loads breaks an axle, we may need to shift the load in stages or bring a second unit to take it to a yard.

Railroad roots

Loxley grew from a lumber camp. John Loxley of Chicago set up the camp with a commissary and sawmill in 1870, and a train depot opened on May 5, 1906 on the Fort Morgan Line. The town incorporated in 1957, and Wikipedia states it officially became a city on May 20, 2022. Today the freight here arrives mostly by truck.

A wide town on flat ground

Loxley covers 32.2 square miles of south-central Baldwin County, between Mobile and Pensacola, at 167 feet above sea level. That is a lot of road for a town of 3,710 people, and much of it is rural pavement away from the exit. If you are not at the interchange or on Hickory Street, give us a crossroad, a business name or your phone's map pin along with the road, because a bare "Loxley" can mean several miles of search.

Weekend and holiday coast traffic can slow the last miles of any response. The dispatcher gives an honest arrival estimate on the call, and updates it if the roads change. Call (251) 355-4026 or
