The operator climbed out without a scratch, but the machine wasn’t going anywhere under its own power. Calls like that usually turn into Eugene heavy equipment transport jobs […]

When One Tire Takes Down the Entire Trip During our 15 years in business, we’ve seen our fair share of tire damage. Some incidents start like this: Freightliner runs off the shoulder after the driver rode a blown steer tire for almost a mile. The rim is gouged, the fender torn open, and the brake

What Makes City Towing Its Own Discipline The roads around Pleasant Hill and the broader Lane County area run from tight residential streets and small commercial blocks to the multi-lane corridors of I-5 and Highway 58.
