Junk removal truck or moving truck broken down in Central Ohio, loaded or empty? We specialize in towing the box trucks, dump trucks and junk bodies these crews run, with our own trucks, dispatched 24/7 and quoted from our rate card before hookup.
Call (740) 812-9489Junk removal and moving truck towing is a specialty of ours. These trucks work harder than almost anything else on the road: loaded and unloaded several times a day, backed up long driveways, parked on residential streets and run to the transfer station and back. When one breaks down, a crew is standing around, a customer is waiting and the day's schedule is falling apart. Roadside Towing & Recovery Inc tows them in-house across Columbus and Central Ohio, with our own trucks and our own drivers, 24 hours a day.
The trucks vary by brand and job: cab-over box trucks, dump-body trucks, open junk bodies, 26-foot moving trucks and trucks pulling trailers. All of them are medium-duty work for us. We get the truck's details on the phone, send a truck set up for it, and deliver it to your shop, your dealer's service lane or your yard.
A broken-down truck is often full, with a load of junk headed for the dump or a family's furniture headed for a new house. Tell dispatch what is on board. Many loaded trucks can be towed as they are, and if the load needs to move to another truck first, we plan the pickup around that.
We are an independent towing company and are not affiliated with any of the franchise brands named on this page. Every job is quoted from our rate card before hookup, and franchise owners can set up a fleet account so their crews always know who to call.

These are the junk removal franchise locations that serve the Columbus area, as each brand lists them on its own website. If you run one of these trucks, this is the page to save.
College HUNKS also runs moving trucks out of its Columbus offices listed above. If your company runs junk or moving trucks in Central Ohio and is not on this list, we tow your trucks too.
Junk haulers and movers run a handful of truck types, and each one tows a little differently. 1-800-GOT-JUNK? describes its truck's steel box as 10 feet long, 8 feet wide and 5 feet high; Junk King says its box is about 12 by 8 by 5 feet. College HUNKS' trucks have been built as box trucks, dump bodies and open junk bodies on cab-over chassis like the Isuzu NPR HD, and its moving trucks on chassis like the Ford F650. Two Men and a Truck runs 26-foot moving trucks. JDog runs camouflage-wrapped trucks, often with trailers.
What our driver checks before hookup:
Most of these calls are not on the highway. They come from a cul-de-sac in Dublin, a sloped driveway in Powell, an apartment lot near campus, a loading dock, or the line at the transfer station. A truck stuck on a soft lawn or a muddy job site needs a winch-out before it can be towed.
Tell dispatch exactly where the truck is and what is around it: overhead wires and trees, how tight the street is, and whether the truck is blocking a driveway or a lane. Those details decide which truck we send and where the driver sets up.
Yes. Roadside Towing & Recovery Inc tows moving trucks and junk removal trucks in-house across Columbus and Central Ohio, 24/7: box trucks, dump bodies, junk bodies and moving trucks up to the 26-foot class. Call (740) 812-9489.
Yes. We tow the trucks junk removal and moving franchises run, including College HUNKS, Junk King, 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, JDog, Two Men and a Truck and All My Sons. We are an independent towing company, not affiliated with any of those brands.
Usually, yes. Tell dispatch what is on board and how full it is. Many loaded trucks can be towed as they are. If the load could shift or needs to go to another truck first, we plan the pickup around that.
Tell dispatch when you call. The body has to be down and secured before the truck can be towed safely, so the driver will look at the hydraulics with you and plan the tow around what they find.
Anything hitched to the truck is unhooked and moved separately. Tell dispatch about the trailer and we plan for both, so neither one is left on the street.
Every job is quoted from our rate card before hookup. The dispatcher confirms the full price on the phone, based on the truck, the load and the distance, before a truck is sent.
Yes. A truck sunk into a lawn or a muddy job site gets a winch-out first, then a tow if it needs one. Tell dispatch what the ground is like and how far the truck is from solid pavement.
Yes. Our fleet contract program gives your crews one number to call and keeps your invoices in one place.
For a junk removal or moving business, a dead truck costs more than the tow: jobs get pushed, crews sit idle and customers wait. That is why we quote before hookup, give an honest arrival estimate on every call and send a truck set up for yours the first time.
