Heavy Duty Towing in Smyrna, TN

Heavy Duty Towing Smyrna starts with one fact. The Nissan Smyrna plant has a production capacity of 640,000 vehicles a year, and finished vehicles have to leave it. Smyrna had 53,070 residents at the 2020 census and is part of the Nashville metro area in Rutherford County. If a rig breaks down around the plant or on I-24 beside it, call (615) 880-9643.

Exits 66 and 70 on I-24

Two I-24 exits do most of the work for Smyrna. Exit 66 is SR 266, Sam Ridley Parkway. Exit 70 is SR 102, which is signed Nissan Drive, Lee Victory Parkway and Almaville Road, and the exit list notes that it serves the Nissan Smyrna Assembly Plant. Exit 64, Waldron Road, is the neighboring La Vergne exit. Exit 74, where I-24 meets I-840 on a three-level interchange, is a few miles east.

A plant town for haulers

The Wikipedia employer table for Smyrna lists Nissan at 8,400 employees. Smaller operations add to the mix: Vi-Jon makes personal care products with 737 employees, Taylor Farms prepares produce with 550, and Square D, part of Schneider Electric, makes electrical products with 474. That is a mix of auto parts, finished vehicles, chilled produce, consumer goods and electrical gear. A stuck car-hauler is a very different recovery from a stuck reefer. A hauler with a loaded top deck needs careful rigging so the vehicles on it are not damaged, and we ask what is on the trailer before we send anyone.

Sam Ridley Parkway and the airport

SR 266 starts at I-24 exit 66 and heads east as Sam Ridley Parkway. It runs four lanes, then widens to a divided six lanes past shopping centers, apartments, a high school and a hospital. Near Smyrna Airport it meets US 41 and US 70S at N Lowry Street, and it ends as the parkway at SR 102, Nissan Drive. East of that it becomes Jefferson Pike, narrows to two lanes and crosses the Stones River just south of Percy Priest Lake. A truck that fails in the six-lane section has room around it. A truck that fails on the narrow part of Jefferson Pike does not, and traffic control becomes part of the job.

The airport land

The Smyrna/Rutherford County Airport Authority was developed in 1990 on former Sewart Air Force Base land. It is the same part of town where US 41, US 70S and SR 266 meet, so tell us which road you are on.

Water on both sides

The Stones River and Stewarts Creek run through the town, and parts of Percy Priest Lake fall inside the town limits. Wet shoulders and creek-side lots are soft after heavy rain. If your rig slid off a pavement edge, tell us how far, and if any part of it is near water.

Tell dispatch these things

• The exit, road and direction, or the company gate you are at
• Truck type, number of axles and approximate weight
• What the trailer holds, especially if it is hazmat or a car-hauler load
• Whether the vehicle drives, steers or has air
• Who is paying and a number where we can reach you

We give an honest arrival estimate on the call. If the job needs more than one wrecker, we say that up front.
