Heavy Duty Towing in Spanish Fort, AL

Heavy Duty Towing in Spanish Fort starts with the road. The city sits on the eastern shore of Mobile Bay, above the east shore of the Blakeley River where it meets the bay, and trucks crossing between Mobile and Baldwin County pass right by it. We recover tractor-trailers, box trucks, buses, RVs and heavy equipment here. Dispatch answers 24/7 at (251) 355-4026.

One way across the water

Spanish Fort's own history comes from the causeway. Wikipedia says the community of Bridgehead, the city's predecessor, formed after the causeway between Mobile and Baldwin counties was built. Today US 90 and US 98 (Battleship Parkway) run west across the Mobile River and its distributaries for about 9 miles to Mobile. Interstate 10 passes just south of the city and also crosses the bay. A breakdown here can put a truck between water on both sides. We treat those calls differently from a flat-land shoulder tow: the wrecker position, the lane closure and the lift plan are worked out before the hook goes on.

I-10 exits you will hear about

Alabama's I-10 exit table lists Exit 30 (US 90 and US 98, Battleship Parkway, in the Spanish Fort area), Exit 35 (US 90 and US 98 to Daphne, Fairhope and Spanish Fort) and Exit 38 (SR 181, Malbis Plantation Parkway). I-65 also reaches the area: Exit 31 is SR 225 toward Stockton and Spanish Fort. Tell the dispatcher the exact exit and direction. Many callers say only "Spanish Fort" when they are actually on the bay bridge or still short of the exit, and that changes who we send and which way the wrecker has to approach.

US 31 begins here

US 98 is the southern terminus of US 31 at Spanish Fort. Trucks heading north to Bay Minette and beyond start their trip here, and trucks coming south end it here. The mix on this junction is semis, dump trucks, delivery box trucks and passenger traffic with trailers. When a loaded truck blocks it, police often want the road clear quickly. We work with them on the lift, the move and the scene.

What to say when you call

• Which road and direction: I-10 east or west, US 90/98, or the causeway
• Nearest exit or landmark you can see
• Tractor-trailer, straight truck, bus, motorhome or equipment, and a rough weight
• Loaded or empty, and the cargo. Hazmat needs to be said up front
• The problem: tire, brakes, engine, electrical, accident or a ditch
• Who pays: you, the fleet, the broker or the insurer

The Mobile Campaign ground

The land around Spanish Fort carries Civil War history. The Battle of Spanish Fort was part of the Mobile Campaign, and after the Union took Spanish Fort in early 1865 attention turned to Fort Blakeley to the north. Today the city is low, at 49 feet, with the Blakeley River and the delta at its edge. After rain, soft edges beside the road can grab a trailer's tandem axles. We bring winch lines and spare chain so we can drag a trailer out of mud without twisting the frame.

Heavy towing prices follow the work. A published heavy tow rate sheet lists a hook-up near $450 plus $9.50 to $10 a mile, and hourly recovery between about $350 and $850. A written estimate is yours before we move. Call (251) 355-4026 or
