Heavy Duty Towing in Woodbury, TN

Heavy Duty Towing in Woodbury is mostly a rural job: a truck or bus in trouble on US 70S, SR 53 or SR 145 in Cannon County, with a small town in the middle and farmland all around. Woodbury is the county seat, with 2,703 people at the 2020 census. It was established in 1819 and incorporated in 1838. When you are stopped nearby, call (615) 880-9643 and dispatch will answer, day or night.

Where Woodbury sits on the map

US 70S leads west 19 miles to Murfreesboro and southeast 20 miles to McMinnville. It meets SR 145 at Woodbury and passes through town as Main Street, running together with SR 53 for under a mile. SR 53 continues south 24 miles to Manchester and north 16 miles to Liberty. SR 145 leaves from the west side of town and heads north 10 miles to Auburntown. Wikipedia's route description says the stretch of US 70S through Woodbury was still two lanes as of 2018, while the road between Murfreesboro and Woodbury was widened from two to four lanes in the early 1990s. So a disabled truck at the edge of Woodbury can have far less room around it than one just outside Murfreesboro.

A river-valley town with a bridge on each side

Woodbury lies in the valley of the East Fork of the Stones River. US 70S crosses that river on the William Bill Smith Bridge near mile 63.6. If a truck leaves the pavement here it can end up in a ditch, a fence line or a creek bank. If you are off the road, tell us what is under the wheels: grass, gravel, mud or water.

Farm country, livestock and Short Mountain

Cannon County has 14,506 residents spread over 266 square miles. Wikipedia describes mixed farming and livestock raising across this part of Middle Tennessee, and the county includes the Short Mountain State Natural Area. In practice that means cattle trailers, hay haulers, farm equipment on lowboys and the occasional school or church bus on narrow county roads. Wikipedia also notes the Good Ole Days festival each spring and the Cannon County Fair each May, which fill the town with trailers and trucks.

Five counties meet here

Cannon County borders DeKalb to the northeast, Warren to the east, Coffee to the south, Rutherford to the west and Wilson to the northwest. A truck on US 70S or SR 53 can be coming from any of them, so a driver who is new to the area should read us the road sign or the nearest bridge. Woodbury was named for Levi Woodbury.

Heat and cold

The mean daily high in July is 89.5 degrees F and the mean daily low in January is 26.7 degrees F. The record high is 110 degrees and the record low is minus 28, so tires and diesel fuel both get tested here over a year.

Preparing for the call

• Say whether you are on Main Street, west of town toward Murfreesboro or east toward McMinnville
• Name the unit and its weight, and say whether animals, hay or equipment are aboard
• If it is livestock, tell us how many head and whether they are loose
• Tell us who is paying: owner, fleet account, farm insurer or broker
