Heavy Duty Towing in Chino Hills, CA

Heavy Duty Towing in Chino Hills is less about warehouses and more about terrain. The city incorporated December 1, 1991, had 78,411 residents in the 2020 census and sits at about 860 feet in the western Inland Empire. Much of its undeveloped land is Chino Hills State Park, which has 60 miles of trails and fire roads. Trucks here are mostly delivery rigs, buses, RVs and construction vehicles working on hillside streets.

Carbon Canyon Road

State Route 142, Carbon Canyon Road, is the only road that directly connects Chino Hills with Orange County. Wikipedia describes it as long, winding and prone to landslides. For a large truck, a road like that means tight curves, limited turnouts and few places to stage a wrecker. If you break down on it, tell us which direction you were heading, the last landmark you passed and whether the truck is blocking a lane. We will ask whether the road is open before we plan the approach.

State Route 71

The Chino Valley Freeway, State Route 71, roughly forms the city's eastern border. It links to the Pomona Freeway, State Route 60, to the north and the Riverside Freeway, State Route 91, to the south. Trucks coming off SR-71 into the city face climbs and curves almost immediately, so brake and cooling problems show up quickly.

Who runs heavy vehicles here

Chino Valley Unified School District is the biggest employer at 3,350, which means school buses. Costco has 340 employees and Lowe's 265, so tractor-trailers make store deliveries. Boys Republic, with 264, and Kaiser Permanente's laboratory, with 220, add service and delivery vehicles. A fully loaded delivery truck and a bus are very different recoveries. We ask the length, axle count and weight, and if it is a bus, whether passengers are aboard.

Hillside streets and parking

Los Serranos is a golf course neighborhood where the country club opened in 1925. Newer tracts have steep driveways and tight cul-de-sacs. An RV or box truck that stalls on a grade needs wheel chocks first. Tell us which way the slope runs and whether the parking brake is holding. A wrecker has to approach from the uphill or downhill side depending on the situation.

Earthquakes and fire

The 2008 Chino Hills earthquake was magnitude 5.4, and Wikipedia attributes it to pressure at the intersection of the Chino and Whittier faults. The Freeway Complex Fire and the Canyon Fire, driven by dry conditions, strong winds and dense vegetation, also burned through the area. After either kind of event, roads can be closed or damaged. Tell us what you see on the road before we start.

When you call

Where the truck goes next

Many Chino Hills shops are small. Before we tow a bus or box truck, ask the shop whether it has space, a roll-up door high enough and a paved lot. If it does not, we can take the truck to a yard in the valley below.

Give the road, direction, nearest cross street, unit type, length, weight, load and problem. Tell us who pays. Dispatch answers 24/7 and gives an honest arrival estimate on the call. Call (909) 552-8200 or
