Heavy Duty Towing in Pascagoula, MS

Heavy Duty Towing in Pascagoula is industrial work. The city of 22,010 people (2020 census) is the Jackson County seat, on Mississippi Sound at the mouth of the Pascagoula River. Heavy rigs here serve a shipyard, a refinery and a port, and they share roads with commuters. We recover semis, flatbeds with heavy equipment, dump trucks, buses and RVs. Dispatch answers 24/7 at (251) 355-4026.

Shipyard and refinery freight

Wikipedia names Ingalls Shipbuilding, owned by Huntington Ingalls Industries, as the state's largest private single-site employer, and lists a Chevron refinery among the city's major industries. A shipyard moves steel plate, large components and heavy equipment on oversize trailers. A refinery draws tank trucks, contractors' flatbeds and plant-service rigs. If a wide or heavy load stops, tell the dispatcher its length, width and weight. We may need a lowboy or landoll in addition to a wrecker, and police may need to route traffic.

The roads in and out

US 90 runs through the city as Denny Avenue. It goes about 16 miles northeast to Grand Bay, Alabama and about 21 miles west to Biloxi. Mississippi 63 begins at US 90 in Pascagoula, where the road continues south as MS 611 into an industrial park, then heads north as a four-lane divided highway to Moss Point, crossing the Escatawpa River and reaching I-10 at Exit 69. I-10 also has Exit 75, Franklin Creek Road, in the Pascagoula area. Tell dispatch which of these roads you are on, and which direction. The industrial park road and the US 90 strip look similar from a cab at night.

The port

The Jackson County Port Authority operates Port Pascagoula on the Gulf. We do not claim to know every berth, so tell dispatch the gate or terminal name and who you are delivering for. A truck stuck at a port gate or inside a terminal can need the facility's security to clear us in, and the dispatcher will tell you what paperwork or contact name helps.

Katrina and the flood memory

Pascagoula sits at about 9.8 feet. On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina sent a 20-foot storm surge into the city, nearly 92 percent of it flooded and most homes along Beach Boulevard were destroyed. That history shapes how the area handles storms now. Trucks left in flooded lots after a storm, vehicles stuck in water on low roads and trailers in washed-out lots are all part of coast work here. Salt water ruins brakes and electrics fast, so tell us if your unit sat in water.
