Semi truck towing: what we move
A semi is not one tow, it is several. The right setup depends on whether the tractor, the trailer, or both are down, whether the trailer is loaded, and whether the wheels will turn. Priority dispatches heavy wreckers for tractor-trailers across Maryland, 24/7, with Wreckmaster-certified operators and GPS dispatch.
- Tractor only — the trailer is dropped or left, and the tractor goes to a shop or yard.
- Tractor and loaded trailer — a combination tow when both have to leave the scene together.
- Trailer only — reefers, vans, and flatbeds with a failed axle, bearing, or landing gear.
- Straight and box trucks — medium and heavy straight trucks, including reefers.
- Accident recovery — uprights, winch-outs, and moves from a shoulder or ditch.
- Load shift and transfer — support when cargo has to move to another trailer.

Before you call
Get the truck as far from traffic as you safely can, turn on the hazards, and set out reflective triangles as federal rules require. If anyone is hurt, a fuel or cargo spill is spreading, or the truck is blocking a lane with no way to clear it, call 911 first and dispatch second. Stay out of the truck’s path and away from the travel lane.
Then call (240) 780-8691. The more precisely you can place the truck, the faster it is found.
What to tell dispatch
- Location — highway, direction, mile marker or exit, or the yard address.
- The tractor — make and model, and whether it starts, steers, and moves.
- The trailer — type, loaded or empty, and cargo that needs care.
- The problem — accident, no-start, derate, locked brakes, flat, or fluid leak.
- Brakes — whether the spring brakes are applied and the truck has air.
- Destination — your yard, a shop, or the Randallstown diesel shop at 9325 Liberty Rd.

Tow it, or fix it first?
Plenty of shutdowns do not need a tow. A DPF or DEF derate, a no-start, a dead battery, or an air leak can often be handled where the truck sits by our in-house diesel techs with dealer-level diagnostics. Start with mobile diesel mechanic, DPF derate repair, or truck road service. In the Howard County area, see mobile diesel mechanic in Columbia. If it cannot be fixed safely, the same dispatcher sends the tow.

Semi truck towing in Maryland — FAQ
How do I get a semi truck towed in Maryland?
Call Priority dispatch at (240) 780-8691, any hour. Give your location, the tractor and trailer details, and what is wrong. Dispatch sends the right wrecker.
Can you tow a loaded trailer?
Yes, tractor-trailer combinations are part of the work. Tell dispatch about the cargo so the tow is planned properly.
My brakes are locked and I have no air. Can you still move the truck?
That is common after an air-system failure. Tell dispatch when you call so the operator arrives prepared.
Can you repair the truck instead of towing it?
Often, yes. Mobile diesel handles many DPF, DEF, electrical, and no-start problems where the truck sits, and shop work goes to Randallstown.
Are you available 24/7?
Yes. Dispatch is 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept EFS, ComChek, and T-Check. Quotes are free.
