Where Four Freeways Pile Trucks Into the Pomona Valley
Heavy Duty Towing in Pomona covers semi trucks, box trucks, buses, RVs and heavy equipment on a freeway grid that few California cities can match. Pomona is a Los Angeles County city of 151,713 people (2020 census), sitting at 850 feet in the Pomona Valley and incorporated on January 6, 1888. Dispatch answers 24/7. Tell us the freeway, the direction and the nearest exit, and we work from there.
Interstate 10 through town
Interstate 10 crosses Pomona with a run of closely spaced exits: Kellogg Drive for Cal Poly (exit 41), Fairplex Drive and Dudley Street (44), White Avenue (45A), Garey and Orange Grove avenues (45B) and Towne Avenue (46). Exits that close together mean short merge lanes. A loaded tractor-trailer that loses power on a ramp can block the lane that the next truck needs to get on. When you call, give us the exit name, not just "Pomona."
The Kellogg Hill interchange
West of town, I-10 climbs Kellogg Hill toward San Dimas. The four-level Kellogg Hill Interchange, dedicated on May 1, 1972, ties I-10 to State Route 57 and State Route 71 (exits 42A and 42B on I-10). Uphill, an overloaded or overheated truck loses speed fast. Downhill, brakes and air lines take the heat. Both end up on the shoulder of a stacked interchange where there is little room to stage a wrecker. We plan the approach with you on the phone before anyone rolls.
SR 57, SR 71 and the construction zone
State Route 57 runs south from the interchange toward Diamond Bar, where it meets SR 60. State Route 71 meets SR 60 in Pomona at exits 29A and 29B. Wikipedia lists the SR 57/SR 60 Interchange Improvements Project as scheduled from 2023 to 2028. Work zones mean barrier rail and tight shoulders, which changes how a heavy wrecker can set up and where a trailer can be dragged to safety.
Fairplex and event traffic
Fairplex, off Fairplex Drive, hosts the L.A. County Fair and the Pomona Swap Meet & Classic Car Show. The In-N-Out Burger Pomona Dragstrip, which hosts the NHRA Winternationals, adds more race haulers and trailers. Event weeks bring race haulers, RV rigs, show trailers, stage trucks and charter buses to a small area. Fairplex also employs about 1,071 people. A stuck rig at a gate on a busy day needs a recovery that works around crowds and temporary fencing.
Wind and the foothill fall
Seasonal Santa Ana winds blow from the northeast in the fall. Empty box trucks and high-sided trailers catch crosswind on the open parts of the freeway, and a rollover or jackknife can follow. If you are upright but shaking in the wind, say so on the call.
What to have ready when you call
- Freeway, direction and exit or cross street (for example I-10 westbound at Towne Avenue)
- Unit type and rough weight class, and whether it is loaded or empty
- What the load is, including anything hazardous
- What went wrong: breakdown, crash, rollover, stuck in soft ground or out of fuel
- Who pays: you, your fleet, a broker or an insurer

Pomona Questions
Can you reach a truck stopped at the I-10 and SR 57 interchange in Pomona?
Yes. Give us the direction and the ramp or exit number. The dispatcher tells you honestly how long it will take to get a heavy wrecker there, and whether CHP traffic control is needed at that spot.
Do you handle trucks stuck at Fairplex during an event?
Yes. We recover race haulers, RVs, show trailers and buses. Tell us the gate and the ground conditions so we can send the right equipment.
My semi overheated on Kellogg Hill. Should I keep driving?
No. Pull over where it is safe, set your triangles and call (909) 552-8200. Driving an overheated engine can turn a tow into a rebuild.
Can you tow a bus from a Pomona school or campus?
Yes. Tell us the passenger count, whether people are still aboard and the exact address. We never move a loaded bus without making the scene safe first.
