Frequently Asked Questions About Heavy Truck Towing,
Heavy Haul Trucking & More

Heavy haul trucking is not something that every towing company can do. An ordinary tow truck is not always suitable for towing heavy equipment or semi-trucks. These vehicles are much larger and heavier than ordinary vehicles. This is what makes heavy haul trucking different than normal towing. Here at Bricen Towing, our crew is capable of towing the biggest rigs out there and is proud to serve the Brookville, Clearfield, and DuBois, PA areas. We get many questions regarding our services all the time. Below, are some of the most frequently asked questions we receive and their respective answers:

  • How much do your heavy truck towing services cost?

    There is no set cost for every tow. The cost of our services will depend on the size of the load being transported and how far it needs to be towed. Naturally, the further it needs to go, the more it will cost.

  • Do you do load transfers?

    Yes, we understand that truck breakdowns and accidents happen all the time. However, your load still needs to reach its destination. We provide load recovery and transfer services to get the load back on the road.

  • How long does it take for you to arrive at an emergency call?

    There is not one single answer to this. How long it takes will depend on how far the emergency call is away from our drivers, traffic conditions, and the weather. We can give an estimate over the phone when you call.

  • Where are you located?

    We have two locations to better serve our customers. Our primary location is in Penfield, PA, and our secondary location is in Brookville, PA.

  • What is the difference between heavy truck towing and semi-truck towing?

     Heavy truck towing and semi-truck towing both involve the recovery and transportation of large vehicles, but they differ in the specific types of trucks they handle. Heavy truck towing is for towing trucks that are generally over 26,000 pounds, including construction vehicles, large commercial trucks, and other heavy-duty equipment. Semi-truck towing, on the other hand, is specifically for semi-trucks, which are typically used for long-haul freight and have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of around 80,000 pounds. 

  • What should I do if my semi-truck breaks down on the highway?

    If your semi-truck breaks down on the highway, it’s important to stay calm and follow these steps:


    • Move to a Safe Location: If possible, pull over to the shoulder or a safe area away from traffic.
    • Turn on Hazard Lights: Activate your hazard lights to alert other drivers.
    • Call for Assistance: Contact a reliable towing service like United Cabinet Building Supplies for Semi Truck Towing. Our team is available 24/7 to assist you.
    • Stay with Your Vehicle: Unless it’s unsafe, stay with your vehicle and wait for the tow truck to arrive.
    • Provide Necessary Information: Be ready to provide the make and model of your truck, the nature of the breakdown, and your exact location.

  • How do you ensure the safety of my vehicle during heavy haul trucking?

    Safety is our top priority during heavy haul trucking. We use state-of-the-art equipment and follow strict safety protocols to secure your vehicle and prevent any damage during transportation. Our team is highly trained and experienced in handling oversized and overweight loads, ensuring that your heavy equipment is transported safely and efficiently.
