What We Do

One Call Covers The Whole Job

Towing is only half of it. Because we run a full 24/7 shop alongside our wreckers, we can recover your truck, fix it, and get you rolling without handing you off to anybody else.

Heavy Duty Towing

Tractor-trailers, buses, box trucks, RVs and equipment. Lowboys, landolls and heavy wreckers rated for the load, so nothing gets damaged twice.

Heavy duty details

Rotator & Recovery

Rollovers, off-road recoveries, winch outs, load shifts and load transfers. Rotator service and crane work for the jobs a standard wrecker cannot touch.

Recovery capabilities

Diesel & Trailer Repair

TRAA certified diesel work in the shop or at the roadside. Computer diagnostics, DOT inspections, brakes, air, hydraulics, reefer and welding.

Shop services

Roadside Assistance

Jump starts, pull starts, lockouts, tire changes and fuel delivery for gas and diesel. Small problems solved on the shoulder instead of on a hook.

Roadside help

Tire Sales & Service

New, used and recapped truck tires including super singles with rims. A national Bridgestone account, mounted on site or on the road.

Tire program

Storage & Load Handling

Secure vehicle storage, a fenced trailer drop yard, dry and cold load storage, portable docks, forklift service and decking of heavy equipment.

Why Hutch’s

Ninety Years On These Roads

The Hutchinson family started towing in 1935. Four generations later we are still answering our own phones out of Handley, and we still treat every customer the way we would want a relative treated on the side of the road at 3 a.m.

We know these hollows, grades and river roads because we live on them. That local knowledge is the difference between a truck sitting for six hours and a truck that is already moving.

Broken Down Right Now?

Do These Four Things

Get yourself safe first. Everything else we can handle when we get there.

  1. Get Off The Road

    If the vehicle still drives, pull onto the shoulder. Put it in park, set the parking brake and turn the wheels away from traffic.

  2. Turn On Hazards

    Four-way flashers on. If you carry triangles or flares, set them out behind you, especially on a grade or a blind curve.

  3. Call Us

    Dial (304) 442-4649. Tell us what you are driving and the nearest mile marker or exit so we roll the right truck.

  4. Stay Put & Buckled

    Wait in the vehicle with your seat belt on unless it is unsafe. Our marked truck and uniformed operator will come to you.

Common Questions

Straight Answers

Are you really open 24 hours?
Yes. Dispatch is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and our shop hours are 24/7 as well. Nights, weekends and holidays are normal working hours in this business.
How big of a vehicle can you tow?
Light, medium, heavy and super heavy. Cars and pickups through loaded tractor-trailers, buses, motorhomes and heavy equipment. We also handle decking and un-decking of trailers and equipment.
My truck is off the road and down an embankment. Can you get it out?
That is recovery work and it is what we are built for. Between rotator service, winch outs, crane and forklift capability and rollover experience, we can rig steep and awkward pulls without tearing the unit up on the way out.
Can you repair my truck instead of just towing it?
Usually, yes. We run a full shop with state-of-the-art computer diagnostics, so we can do mechanical, electrical, brake, air, hydraulic, reefer and welding work, plus DOT inspections and repairs. Many roadside calls never need a tow at all.
Do you work with fleets and insurance companies?
We do. Use the toll free line at (877) 841-0064 for fleet dispatch, purchase orders, fleet maintenance and preventive maintenance scheduling. We also carry a national account with Bridgestone for tires.
Where do you store vehicles after a tow?
In our secure yard in Handley. We offer secure vehicle storage, a fenced trailer drop yard, and both dry and cold load storage if freight needs to be held.

Stuck? Let’s Get You Moving.

Tell us what you are driving and where you are. We will tell you what is coming and roughly how long it will take — no runaround.
