A College Town With a Freeway at Its Edge
Heavy Duty Towing in Claremont is mostly about the trucks that do not belong on a quiet street but end up there anyway: moving vans, delivery box trucks, charter buses, motorhomes and the occasional tractor-trailer that missed an exit. Claremont is a city of 37,266 people (2020 census) at the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, 1,168 feet up, incorporated on October 3, 1907. Dispatch answers 24/7.
Where the city sits
Claremont is about 30 miles east of downtown Los Angeles and lies at the eastern end of Los Angeles County. It borders Upland and Montclair in San Bernardino County, and Pomona and La Verne in Los Angeles County. That makes it a county-line town. A truck on the wrong side of a boundary street may fall under a different agency, so tell us which side of the street you are on.
Interstate 10 at Indian Hill
Interstate 10 passes through the southern part of the area, and Indian Hill Boulevard is exit 47. Next door, Monte Vista Avenue is exit 48 and Towne Avenue in Pomona is exit 46. A big rig that exits at Indian Hill to find fuel or parking and heads north quickly finds a college-town grid with parked cars, bike lanes and low branches. We get calls for trucks wedged under trees, stuck on turns that were never meant for a 53-foot trailer, and box trucks that sank a wheel into a soft shoulder.
The Claremont Colleges
Seven institutions make up the Claremont Colleges: Pomona College (1887), Scripps College (1926), Claremont McKenna College (1946), Harvey Mudd College (1955), Pitzer College (1963), Claremont Graduate University (1925) and Keck Graduate Institute (1997). Move-in week, commencement and construction projects bring in moving trucks, catering vans, charter coaches and equipment haulers. A bus that fails with a team or a tour group aboard is a recovery that starts with people, not the vehicle.
Heat, wind and fire season
Summer temperatures can rise above 100 degrees. Gusty autumn Santa Ana winds can bring fire danger to the nearby foothill areas. On fire-weather days, road closures, evacuation traffic and smoke can slow every recovery. If you are on a foothill road when conditions change, tell us what you can see around you. Snow is rare in the city but appears on the San Gabriel Mountains in winter, so we do not expect icy roads in town.
Equipment and RVs
We recover motorhomes and fifth wheels that lost power on the way up toward the mountains, and we move contractor equipment that has gone down on a residential job. A skid steer or small excavator on a trailer with a failed axle is common. We match the wrecker or lowboy to the weight and ground, and we plan the pull so it does not tear up a curb or a lawn.
Before you call
- Street or freeway, with the cross street, and which side of the county line you are on
- What the unit is: bus, RV, box truck, semi, dump truck or equipment
- Rough weight and height, because low branches and overpasses matter here
- Whether passengers are aboard
- Who is paying: you, the school, your fleet or an insurer

Claremont Questions
Can you get a box truck out from under tree branches in Claremont?
Often yes. We assess clearance, branch size and the height of the unit before we pull. Tell us the height of the truck and the street name.
Do you recover charter buses with passengers aboard?
Yes. We want to know how many people are aboard and whether anyone is hurt. Passengers are moved to safety before the bus is touched.
Is Indian Hill Boulevard open to big trucks?
Do not assume. Local streets in a college town often have turning and clearance limits. Call (909) 552-8200 before you leave the freeway if you are unsure.
Can you tow an RV from a Claremont street?
Yes. Tell us the length, whether it is a motorhome or a towable, and if slides or awnings are out. We secure those before moving.
