Heavy Duty Towing in Fort Oglethorpe, GA

Heavy Duty Towing in Fort Oglethorpe, Georgia serves a city of 10,423 people (2020 census) that sits about nine miles south of Chattanooga on U.S. Route 27. Trucks here run between the I-75 interchanges and the US 27 corridor, and every one of them shares the road with tour buses, school buses and visitors. We answer 24/7, ask the right questions, and give you an honest arrival estimate on the call.

The park takes most of the map

Fort Oglethorpe was incorporated in 1949 and sits in western Catoosa County and northeastern Walker County. The Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park covers the southern two-thirds of the city's area. That matters to a heavy wrecker. With that much of the city inside a park, space to stage a big recovery can be limited, and a truck that leaves the road near it may end up on a slope or in trees. We look at the ground and plan the pull before we rig it.

The roads

US 27 is the main route, running north to Chattanooga and south 18 miles to LaFayette. The route's junction table puts the SR 2 (Battlefield Parkway) interchange at mile 353.136, which leads east to I-75, and SR 146 (Cloud Springs Road) at mile 353.723. In 2001, US 27 through the park was shifted westward onto the SR 813 alignment. On I-75, exit 350 is Battlefield Parkway (SR 2) toward Fort Oglethorpe and exit 353 is SR 146 toward Rossville and Fort Oglethorpe. The Tennessee line is about 1.4 miles north of exit 353, by the mile markers.

Interchange breakdowns

Exits 350 and 353 are the places we expect calls from. Ramps and merge lanes leave little room, and a loaded truck stopped on a ramp has to be moved quickly and safely. Tell us the exit number, northbound or southbound, and whether the unit is on the ramp, the shoulder or the cross street. Do not assume we know which side of the interchange you stopped on.

Buses and school traffic

Charter coaches, shuttle buses and school buses all use these roads. A bus tow is different from a truck tow: passengers, luggage, a long overhang and sometimes a low-clearance undercarriage. If you are driving a coach, tell us how many people are aboard and whether they need another vehicle. The dispatcher can ask the right questions, and we move the bus without leaving people stranded where traffic is moving.

What to have ready

• Route and direction: US 27 north or south, or I-75 north or south.
• Exit or cross street: Battlefield Parkway, Cloud Springs Road or a mile marker.
• Unit type, weight class, loaded or empty, and any hazardous cargo.
• The problem: no start, brakes, tires, a collision or a rollover.
• Who is paying: you, a fleet, an insurer or a broker.

Equipment for a tight city

Fort Oglethorpe is a suburb, not an open highway. Recoveries often happen near turn lanes, driveways and signals. Heavy wreckers with underlifts handle most straight tows. For a trailer on its side we bring air cushions and winch lines. A lowboy or landoll moves a disabled piece of equipment that cannot drive.
