What Is Box Truck Towing?
Box truck towing is moving a medium duty truck with a cargo box on the back. These trucks are heavier and longer than a pickup, so they need the right equipment. We tow box trucks, step vans, cargo vans and cutaway vans in the medium duty range.
We do not tow semi trucks, tractor-trailers, buses or other heavy duty vehicles. Tell dispatch the truck's size and weight rating so we can confirm before we roll.

Signs You Need a Box Truck Tow
- The truck will not start at the yard or a delivery stop
- It overheated or lost power on the highway
- A tire blew and you have no spare or safe place to change it
- The truck was in a crash
- A warning light says to stop driving
- It needs to go to a dealer or fleet shop for repairs
Box Truck Towing Options
Smaller vans and cutaways can ride on Flatbed Towing. If the truck breaks down on a busy road, we treat it like Emergency Towing. After a crash, see Accident Towing. If you need to move a forklift or tools from the truck, see Forklift Towing and Toolbox Transport. Dead battery? Try a Battery Jump Start first.
Delivery Trucks in North Texas
North Texas is packed with delivery, moving and service fleets. Box trucks run all day on I-635, I-30, I-20 and US-380. Warehouses in Garland and Mesquite and new distribution centers near Princeton keep these trucks busy.
Heat is hard on medium duty trucks. Loaded trucks idling in traffic run hot, and cooling systems and batteries fail more often in the summer. A fast tow gets the truck to a shop and helps you plan for a spare truck or a rescue load.
What to Expect When We Arrive
- Tell dispatch the truck make, model, length, weight rating and whether it is loaded.
- We confirm the right equipment and give you a quote.
- The driver checks the truck and the scene.
- We secure the truck and set any needed driveline steps for the tow.
- We deliver it to your yard, a dealer or a fleet repair shop.
How to Get Ready
- Tell us if the box is loaded and about how much weight is in it.
- Have the keys and any fleet paperwork ready.
- Share the drop-off shop's address and hours.
- Move the truck off the road if you can do so safely.
Box Truck Towing Cost
The cost depends on the truck's size and weight, whether it is loaded, the distance and any setup work. Call dispatch for a quote. We can set up billing for fleet accounts. Ask when you call.
