How It Works

Real-Time Tow Truck Positioning Across the Metro

When you call, the operator asks your location, vehicle type, and what went wrong. Behind the scenes, a live map shows every available rig in the network. The system routes the closest unit with the right gear, wheel-lift for standard cars, flatbed for low-clearance vehicles, heavy-duty wrecker for trucks and RVs, or winch rig for off-road recovery. This same-network approach means a breakdown in Bloomington doesn't wait for a Minneapolis truck stuck in traffic.

Staging spreads across the region. North-side rigs cover Minneapolis and Minnetonka; west-side units handle St. Paul; east-side crews manage Bloomington; south-side teams cover Eden Prairie. Before any rig rolls, the operator confirms the price range, arrival window, and driver details. 24/7 emergency towing runs on the same line, so after-hours calls get the same closest-rig treatment. Typical pricing: $80 to $150 hook-up plus $3 to $6 per kilometre, with after-hours and weather surcharges quoted upfront. Heavy-duty tow truck rates vary by vehicle class and recovery complexity.
