Heavy Duty Towing in Rockvale, TN

Heavy Duty Towing Rockvale is on the Murfreesboro side of Eagleville. Rockvale is a small place in Rutherford County, with 1,279 residents at the 2020 census, and it sits along SR 99 between Eagleville and Murfreesboro. Dump trucks, equipment haulers and delivery trucks are the kinds of rigs we expect on a route like that, and when one stops, call (615) 880-9643.

What SR 99 is

SR 99 is a route of about 127 miles that runs west to east across several counties. In Rutherford County it passes through Eagleville, then Rockvale, then Murfreesboro, and it meets I-24 at exit 80 in Murfreesboro. Rockvale is therefore a few minutes from an interstate ramp, but the road between is ordinary state highway. The page also notes SR 269 leaves SR 99 just west of Rockvale, so there is a junction close by where a driver can take a wrong turn with a long load.

Cave country

Rockvale is the site of Snail Shell Cave, owned and managed by the Southeastern Cave Conservancy. The cave system drains more than 100 square miles of land, and its water comes back out at a major spring on the Stones River. A cave system like that usually means limestone below, and water moves through it. After heavy rain the roadside ditches and field edges can hold more water than they look like they do, and a heavy truck on a soft edge can sink faster than the driver expects.

Construction traffic more than freight

Rockvale is a state-route community, not a plant town. Expect dump trucks, concrete mixers and lowboys heading to job sites. When one of those units breaks down or tips a wheel off the pavement, the recovery is typically a winch-out first. A loaded dump truck needs to be assessed before it is pulled, because the load can shift.

Narrow roads and tight shoulders

Tell us the cross street, the nearest driveway or any sign you can read. On a two-lane state road with a short shoulder, the wrecker may need to set up so that it does not close the road any longer than it has to, and a flagger is often part of the job. We will tell you on the call if it needs more than one unit.

A quick list for the dispatcher

• SR 99 or another road, and eastbound or westbound
• The nearest crossroad, driveway or business name
• Truck type and weight, including any attached equipment
• Loaded with what, and if the load can shift
• Who is paying and a callback number

Dispatch answers 24/7 and gives an honest arrival estimate on the call. Calls after hours may carry an after-hours charge that appears in the written estimate.

Reaching the interstate and the neighbors

Headed east, SR 99 runs through Murfreesboro, shares the road with US 41, US 70S and SR 1 downtown, and continues to Bradyville in Cannon County. Headed west, it runs to Eagleville, where it meets US 41A and SR 16 at a Y-intersection. I-24 exit 80 is the interstate access. SR 99 is long, so a call from Rockvale can begin with a vague spot on it. Give us a mile marker, a business name or the last town you passed, and we will narrow it down on the call.
