Light duty towing applies to vehicles that fall under the everyday driving category and typically weigh under 10,000 pounds. These are the vehicles seen most often on the road in Shellman Bluff.
If your vehicle fits into one of these types, it almost always falls under light duty towing. Larger work trucks usually require Medium Duty Towing instead.
Light duty towing is used for many everyday situations that drivers face.
Vehicle Breakdowns
Engine failure, transmission issues, electrical problems, and overheated motors are common reasons cars need to be towed instead of driven.
Minor Accidents & Fender-Benders
Even small crashes often leave vehicles unsafe to drive due to wheel, steering, or fluid damage. After crashes like these, vehicles are moved using light duty towing or Accident Recovery.
Flat Tires & Battery Failures
Sometimes a roadside issue turns into a tow when a spare won’t hold air or a jumpstart won’t keep the vehicle running. Roadside help is covered on our Roadside Assistance page.
Stuck Vehicles
Light vehicles slide off wet shoulders and sink into yards after storms. When traction is gone, Winching & Off-Road Recovery is used before towing.

From busy intersections to quiet residential streets in Shellman Bluff, light duty towing covers all the places where daily driving comes to an unexpected stop.
Sometimes a tow that starts as light duty becomes something more. Hidden axle damage, bent frames, or deeper off-road recovery can shift the call into medium duty or full recovery work. When that happens, the equipment and recovery plan adjusts to match what the vehicle needs.
Seasonal issues shape light duty towing patterns every year.
Summer Heat
High temperatures lead to overheated engines, weak batteries, and tire blowouts.
Storm Season
Rain causes slide-offs, flooded low areas, and soft shoulders that trap vehicles quickly.
Winter Cold Snaps
Cold mornings bring battery failures and no-start conditions without warning.
