Box Truck Towing for a City Built on Deliveries
Box truck towing in Ontario covers the straight trucks and step vans that carry packages, furniture, food and parts across the Inland Empire. Ontario International Airport is a major freight hub for FedEx and UPS, and Amazon opened its largest U.S. warehouse in the city in 2024, so box trucks are on every road from early morning until late at night.
Not a pickup, not a semi
A box truck often sits between a light tow and a heavy one. The body is tall and long, the rear overhang is large, and many have a lift gate that hangs low. A rental truck can have a weak frame, and a delivery truck can be loaded with weight in the back. We choose the wrecker and the lifting method to protect the box, the gate and the axle.
Weight matters
Many box trucks sit in the Class 3 to Class 6 range. Others, especially bigger straight trucks, weigh more. When you call, give the make, the length of the box, the gross weight if you know it, and the cargo. A medium-duty tow rate often applies, and a larger unit may be priced as a heavy tow.
Common box truck calls
- A delivery truck that stops in the middle of a route.
- A moving truck with a blown tire, overheated engine or dead battery.
- A rental truck that hit a low clearance.
- A step van with brake or transmission failure.
- A truck that slid off a driveway or soft shoulder.
- A truck with a locked roll-up door that must be towed with cargo inside.
Low clearance and tall loads
Box trucks regularly strike overpasses, canopies and low bridges. A truck with a damaged roof or a torn box may need to be lifted and towed with extra care. We ask about the damage before we leave. Photos sent to dispatch help us bring the right lift.
Buses and RVs
Our box truck work sits next to our other medium and heavy units. If your vehicle is a shuttle bus, a motorhome or a utility body truck, call anyway. Tell the dispatcher what it is and we will match the wrecker.
Cargo and customers
Many box truck calls have a delivery behind them. Tell dispatch about time-sensitive cargo. If it is safe, we can help transfer the load to another truck, or the fleet can send a replacement to meet us.

How a Box Truck Tow Works
1. Describe the truck
Make, box length, weight class, cargo and the problem.
2. Check the clearance and the damage
Tell us about low roofs, torn boxes or rear damage.
3. Choose the lift
We pick a wheel lift, a flatbed or a heavy wrecker depending on the truck.
4. Deliver with the cargo secured
To a shop, a yard or a customer, with an invoice estimate.
Box Truck Towing Questions
Do you tow rental box trucks?
Yes. Tell us the rental company, since many require their own authorization.
Can you tow a box truck with cargo inside?
Yes, if the weight is within the wrecker's rating. We may recommend transferring cargo for heavy loads.
Is a box truck a medium or heavy tow?
It depends on the weight class. Smaller straight trucks are often medium duty. Large ones can need a heavy wrecker.
Can you help if my truck hit a low bridge?
Yes. Tell the dispatcher about the damage and whether the roof or box is still attached.
