When Big Rigs Fail, Richardson Calls the Experts
A semi-truck breakdown on US-75, President George Bush Turnpike (PGBT), or I-635 can bring an entire delivery schedule to a halt. These massive machines demand more than basic roadside help—they require precision, strength, and specialists trained to move commercial giants safely. That’s why semi truck towing—also known as big-rig recovery, tractor-trailer towing, or heavy-duty truck hauling—is one of the most important services on Richardson’s busiest highways.
At One Step Towing Richardson, TX, we are proud to be the team that truckers trust when their livelihood is on the line. We provide 24/7 semi-truck towing, fast response, honest pricing, and a licensed, bonded, and insured crew built to deliver total confidence from the moment we arrive.
The High-Stakes World of Semi Truck Towing Richardson
Semi truck towing is far more advanced than standard vehicle towing. Moving a fully loaded tractor-trailer or commercial truck requires highly trained operators and equipment built for extreme weight, height, and clearance.
What makes semi-truck towing different?
- Specialized tow trucks that handle 40,000–80,000 lb loads
- Underlift systems are engineered to lift heavy axles without damage
- Air-ride suspension support for safe commercial cargo transport
- Certified operators trained in heavy-duty safety protocols
Semi-truck towing must be done with complete accuracy—and that’s exactly what our Richardson team delivers.
Top Tools Used by Modern Semi Truck Towing Companies
Heavy-duty towing is only as good as the equipment behind it. Professional semi truck recovery relies on advanced machinery to ensure safe extractions, controlled lifts, and efficient highway operations.
Industry-leading tools include:
- Rotator Tow Trucks – 360° lifting power for overturned or wedged semis
- Heavy-Duty Wheel-Lift Systems – Protect axles and eliminate structural strain
- High-Capacity Winches – Essential for ditch pulls, off-road extractions, and angled recoveries
- Air Cushion Recovery Systems – Upright overturned units without cargo damage
- Load Transfer Equipment – Stabilizes or redistributes cargo before towing
These advanced systems allow One Step Towing Richardson to tackle the toughest heavy-duty situations on Texas highways—day or night.
Smart Strategies to Prevent Semi-Truck Breakdowns
While breakdowns can never be avoided entirely, proactive drivers reduce risk significantly. A strong maintenance routine helps prevent costly roadside failures and keeps deliveries on schedule.
Driver-ready prevention checklist:
- Conduct pre-trip engine and transmission inspections
- Monitor brakes and air systems closely
- Maintain proper tire pressure on both tractor and trailer
- Respond immediately to check-engine warnings
- Carry essential emergency tools and reflective markers
Even with perfect preparation, mechanical issues happen. When they do, One Step Towing Richardson is ready to respond anywhere along US-75, PGBT, or I-635.
