Rollover, jackknife, ditch, shifted cargo or disabled combination — heavy recovery starts with the right response plan.
Tractor-trailer recovery is a scene-management problem as much as a towing problem. Vehicle position, trailer condition, cargo, traffic, terrain and access all affect what equipment is needed. Priority Towing & Transport responds to commercial recovery calls across Columbia, Lexington and the Midlands with heavy-duty towing and recovery capability.
For complex scenes, call dispatch with as much detail as possible: tractor and trailer position, whether the unit is loaded, cargo type, rollover or jackknife status, road blockage, shoulder or ditch conditions and any known damage. Photos can also help determine the response when available.
A real local dispatcher picks up — 24/7, no phone tree. With operating locations in Lexington and Columbia, we confirm your vehicle, location, and destination in under 2 minutes and send the closest available truck.
You get the quote upfront — no surprise fees, no hidden add-ons. Most calls priced before we hang up.

A tractor-trailer may need to be stabilized, repositioned or recovered before it can be safely towed. Priority evaluates the scene and matches the response to the vehicle, trailer and conditions.
A loaded trailer can turn a straightforward recovery into a more involved operation. If freight has shifted, spilled or needs repositioning, tell dispatch immediately. See our dedicated Load Shift Service and Cargo Recovery pages.
