Heavy Duty Towing in Lebanon, TN

Heavy Duty Towing in Lebanon centers on tractor-trailers going in and out of one of Middle Tennessee's busiest warehouse areas. Lebanon is the seat of Wilson County, with 38,431 residents at the 2020 census, and it was incorporated in 1801. Interstate 40 runs along the south side of the city, and three exits serve it. Call (615) 880-9643 when a truck stops anywhere around here and dispatch will answer.

Roads you will be calling from

US 231 crosses I-40 at exit 238, then runs north through a major business district alongside SR 266 before reaching downtown. Wikipedia lists US 70 and US 70N, SR 109 on the west side, SR 141 and SR 266 as the other routes that serve Lebanon. The eastern end of I-840 is just west of the city, where the Nashville bypass meets I-40. Hartmann Drive and Maddox-Simpson Parkway form a partial beltway. From the I-24 interchange at Murfreesboro (exit 81) to the I-40 interchange at Lebanon (exit 238), the US 231 mileposts differ by about 27 miles. That is the run between our home city and Lebanon.

The freight behind the traffic

The state's county profile lists Amazon as the top Wilson County employer at 3,008 people, with Geodis at 1,658, both in Lebanon. Genuine Parts Company opened a distribution center here that was operational in September 2020, supplying parts to about 300 NAPA stores on a $50 million investment. The Alligood Industrial Park, about 0.2 miles from I-40, holds two rear-load tilt-wall buildings totaling 411,150 square feet. Cracker Barrel has its corporate headquarters in Lebanon, and a Chinese tile company, Wonderful Group, invested $150 million in 2015 in its first North American plant here. Short-haul drayage, rear-dock trailers and loaded reefers are the daily pattern. Nashville and Eastern Railroad also serves the city.

Trailer and dock problems we see in a warehouse district

When a loaded trailer is stuck at a dock apron, the issue is usually landing gear, a broken air line, a flat trailer tire or a tractor that will not restart. We can tow the unit, bring a service truck for a tire or a jump, or move the trailer separately. Tell dispatch whether the doors are open, whether the load is palletized and who the receiver is.

Pricing in plain terms

Published rate sheets show what heavy towing costs in practice. A Kentucky Transportation Cabinet rate sheet lists a $450 heavy duty hook-up plus $9.50 a mile, and an after-hours charge of $150. A Flagler County, Florida schedule lists Class D heavy tows at $850 an hour. Rates vary by unit, distance, scene and time of day. Your written invoice estimate is the price.

Weather

Lebanon averages 54.45 inches of precipitation and 1.5 inches of snow a year. July highs average 90.2 degrees F, which is hard on loaded trailer tires.

Rail and air

The Nashville and Eastern Railroad is a short-line carrier through Lebanon, and the WeGo Star commuter rail line ends here. Lebanon Municipal Airport has a 5,000-foot asphalt runway. Rail crossings near the industrial areas can cut off a street, so tell dispatch if a train is blocking your way in or out.
