Heavy Duty Towing in Sweetwater, TN

Heavy Duty Towing in Sweetwater serves a Monroe County city where I-75 forms part of the western boundary. The city had 6,312 people at the 2020 census and was incorporated in 1875. It lies in Monroe and McMinn counties. Call (865) 339-3202 if a tractor-trailer, box truck or RV is down. Dispatch answers 24/7 and gives an honest arrival estimate on the call.

Exits 60 and 62

Wikipedia's county article says I-75 touches only the extreme northeastern tip of Monroe County, with two exits there. The I-75 exit list gives them as exit 60, SR 68 toward Spring City and Sweetwater, and exit 62, SR 322 (Oakland Road) toward Sweetwater. US 11 runs through the center of town between SR 68 to the south and SR 322 to the north. Because the county has so little interstate frontage, trucks heading elsewhere in Monroe County end up on US 411, US 11 or SR 68, so a Sweetwater call can start on a plain two-way road.

Warehouse freight

Red Stag Fulfillment, an e-commerce warehouse company, lists a Sweetwater location at 500 Red Stag Way with 700,000 square feet. WBIR reported the plan as a 420-acre distribution center along I-75, and Wikipedia gives an estimate of 3,500 jobs. A fulfillment center means 53-foot trailers, box trucks and delivery vans moving at all hours, plus drivers who are working to a pick-up time.

A trailer stuck at a warehouse dock or on the access road is a different problem from an interstate wreck. Tell us whether you are inside a gate, how tall and wide the unit is, and whether the trailer is loaded or empty. A stuck loaded trailer may need to be separated from the tractor, and some jobs require another truck to take the freight.

Other freight in the valley

Wikipedia describes Sweetwater Valley as a lowland shaped by Sweetwater Creek and surrounded by low hills. In 1989 the local economy was agricultural, with light industry including a chemical factory, a hosiery mill and a stove plant. A Walmart Supercenter opened September 11, 2013, adding 200 jobs, and a Rural King store opened in February 2018. Farm and retail deliveries run on the same roads as the interstate traffic.

Tourism trucks and coaches

The Lost Sea, which Wikipedia calls the largest underground lake in the United States, is in Craighead Caverns about 7 miles southeast of Sweetwater. If a coach is down, tell us the passenger count and whether they are safe.

Equipment

For a box truck or bus we typically use a heavy wrecker with an underlift. For a trailer off the pavement, winch lines and a heavy wrecker. For a rollover, air cushions and, when needed, a rotator. For heavy equipment that cannot be driven, a lowboy or landoll. We also work with police and highway crews on traffic control.
