18-Wheeler & Semi-Truck Towing in Orange, TX

18-wheeler breakdowns happen at the worst time — usually in the middle of I-10 or US-69 with a load and a deadline. Car Wars Towing runs a medium/heavy conventional wrecker with a crane boom that handles 18-wheeler tractors. Important: we tow the tractor alone — we don't pull combination loads (tractor + attached trailer). If your trailer is attached and loaded, you'll need a rotator service. If it's just the tractor that's down, we're your call. Average response on I-10 and US-69: well under an hour.

How it works

  1. Call us with location & details

    Dial (409) 745-9977. Tell us your mile marker, what's wrong, and confirm: tractor alone or tractor + trailer? If you have a trailer attached and loaded, we can't move that combination.

  2. Heavy wrecker dispatched

    Medium/heavy conventional wrecker with crane boom. Right-sized for tractor tows.

  3. Hookup on scene

    Driver assesses the situation, sets up safely on the shoulder (with cones and lights for traffic), and hooks up the tractor properly.

  4. Tow to your destination

    Your terminal, repair shop, or wherever your dispatch sends us. We can bill fleet insurance directly with prior arrangement.

Why Car Wars Towing

Frequently asked questions

Can you tow my 18-wheeler with the trailer still attached?

No. We don't tow combination loads (tractor + attached, loaded trailer). Those need a rotator service. If you can drop the trailer (or it's empty and detachable), we can take the tractor.

What if I'm broken down on I-10?

We respond to I-10 routinely. Call (409) 745-9977 with your mile marker and direction of travel. We'll dispatch the heavy wrecker and give you an honest ETA. State troopers know us.

Do you work with my fleet insurance / motor club?

Fleet insurance — yes, we work with most major carriers and can bill direct with prior account setup. Motor clubs (AAA, Honk, Agero) — no, we don't take motor club dispatch.

How fast can you get to a tractor breakdown?

Depends on location and traffic. For I-10 jobs near Orange/Beaumont, often under an hour. We always give honest ETAs — we don't promise 15 minutes if it's actually going to be 45.
