Heavy Duty Towing in Bloomington, CA

Heavy Duty Towing in Bloomington serves a small unincorporated community with an outsized freight footprint. Bloomington is in San Bernardino County and had 24,339 residents in the 2020 census. It covers 6.07 square miles at 1,099 feet. Dispatch answers 24/7. Our work here is semis, box trucks, drayage tractors and equipment near the rail yard and the warehouse streets.

I-10 at Cedar Avenue

Interstate 10 serves Bloomington, and exit 66 is Cedar Avenue to Bloomington. Neighboring exits are Citrus Avenue (63), Sierra Avenue (64), Riverside Avenue (68) and Pepper Avenue (69). Valley Boulevard marks the north boundary of the original town site, Slover Avenue the south, Larch Avenue the east and Linden Avenue the west. When you call, give us the exit and the cross street. If you are on a surface street, give both cross streets, because many look alike.

The Union Pacific hump yard

Wikipedia says Union Pacific's Alhambra Subdivision crosses the community and hosts a hump yard. The Amtrak Sunset Limited uses the same tracks, but Bloomington has no station. Rail yards bring crossing blockages, drayage chassis and containers. A truck stalled at a grade crossing is an emergency. Get out of the vehicle, move away from the tracks, and call the emergency number on the crossing signal before you call us.

Colton Crossing nearby

In nearby Colton, just south of I-10, the Union Pacific and BNSF lines cross. The grade separation flyover opened in August 2013. Before it, more than 110 trains a day used the right-angle crossing. Rail is a big part of how freight moves through this part of the valley.

Warehouses and local conflict

Warehouse growth has been contentious. Wikipedia reports that in 2022 the county approved demolishing Zimmerman Elementary School for a warehouse and that in 2024 residents protested the demolition of 117 homes for warehouses. In late September 2024, a court halted all construction on the Bloomington Business Park over an inadequate environmental review. We do not take sides. What matters to a driver is that streets near these projects can change quickly. Construction closures, new barriers and temporary routes affect where we can set up.

Cityhood and the annexation tug of war

Residents are pursuing cityhood, and Rialto and Fontana are trying to annex parts of the community. Colton is trying to annex land within Bloomington. Boundaries around the community are contested, so give us the cross street and we work out who has the road on the call.

What we need

• I-10 exit or Bloomington street with both cross streets

• Tractor and trailer, or container and chassis

• Whether you are on a rail yard approach or a grade crossing

• Load, cause and payer

What a heavy tow can cost

Published rate sheets show a heavy-duty tow at about $450 for the hook-up plus $9.50 to $10 per mile, with storage around $65 to $100 per day. A tow from a yard apron to a shop a few miles away is priced very differently from a long-distance haul. Rates vary by unit, distance, scene and time of day. Your written invoice estimate is the price.
