Every service we run out of Cookeville, in one place. Whether it's a straightforward hook-and-go on I-40, a winch-out on a wet county shoulder, or a fifth-wheel that won't budge from a soft campsite pad, the equipment is matched to the job — not a one-size hook stretched past its limit.
Round-the-clock dispatch for breakdowns, accidents, and I-40 pull-offs anywhere in Putnam County. A truck starts rolling while you're still on the phone.
Wet shoulders, steep embankments off I-40, and rural county roads call for winch and cable gear rather than a standard hook. Recovery-rated equipment for stuck, jackknifed, or off-pavement vehicles.
Class A, Class C, fifth-wheels, pop-ups, and travel trailers headed toward Center Hill Lake and Cane Creek. Higher axle weights and different hitch geometry need trailer-specific dollies.
Post-collision recovery with photo documentation at the scene and an itemized invoice, so an insurance claim has the paper trail it needs.
Landlords and lot managers around the Tennessee Tech campus and the Interstate Drive retail corridor use us for coordinated removals of vehicles that have overstayed or blocked access.
Getting a vehicle home rather than to the nearest shop — including across state lines, with a firm quote before the truck leaves.
Keys locked in the car at a downtown lot or a campus parking deck. Doors opened without scratching paint or setting off an alarm.
Dead battery after a long drive on I-40 is one of the most common calls we take. Commercial-grade packs that work on diesel trucks, not just sedans.
Ran the tank dry on a rural stretch with no station for miles. Enough fuel delivered roadside to reach the nearest pump.
County roads and I-40 shoulders are hard on tires. Roadside swap to your spare, or a tow to the nearest tire shop when there isn't one.
If the vehicle can't be driven and needs to move, that's a tow — and the question is whether a flatbed or a wheel-lift is right for it. All-wheel drive, low clearance, luxury vehicles, and motorcycles should always go on a flatbed to keep the drivetrain off the pavement. Most standard front- and rear-wheel-drive cars are fine on a wheel-lift.
If the vehicle is stuck rather than broken — off the shoulder, in a ditch, against a guardrail, or sunk into mud — that's a recovery job before it's a tow, and it needs winch and cable gear rated for the pull. If the vehicle runs but something small has stranded you, roadside assistance covers it: a lockout, a dead battery, an empty tank, or a flat tire.
