Honest answer: it depends on the job. A straightforward breakdown tow with no damage typically runs 1–2 hours from the time we get on scene. Rollover and accident recoveries are bigger jobs with innumerable variables. On the short side, 3–5 hours is a realistic range. But depending on the orientation of the truck and trailer, access points, cargo and trailer condition, weather conditions, law enforcement concerns, and other unforeseen possibilities, recoveries can stretch into the next day. We’ll give you the real picture after we look at the scene — not a rosy estimate that turns into a long afternoon.
