Why Oakland calls feel different with Heavy Tow Pro
A blown coolant hose near the Coliseum or a box truck wedged at a Port of Oakland gate needs more than a random wrecker. Heavy Tow Pro dispatches with axle class, dock codes, and whether you are on an incline — so the first rig can execute without a second call. Flatbed-first stays the rule for EVs and AWD commuters crossing the Bay Bridge daily.
