The vehicles that fall between passenger cars and full 18-wheelers represent some of the most challenging towing scenarios on any road. Box trucks, large passenger vans, step vans, single-axle delivery trucks, and commercial vehicles in the 10,000–26,000 lb GVWR range require medium duty towing equipment and a driver who has handled these rigs before. Sending a light duty truck to tow a 16,000-lb box truck is not just inefficient — it is unsafe. Gulf Coast Towing & Recovery operates medium duty equipment rated for this class and trains its drivers specifically in these configurations.
We serve commercial fleets, small businesses, independent operators, and private individuals who find themselves with a medium duty vehicle stuck on the roads of Palm Harbor, Clearwater, Dunedin, New Port Richey, or anywhere in the Pinellas and Pasco County area. We understand that commercial vehicle downtime translates directly to lost revenue, and we prioritize medium duty calls accordingly.
Our medium duty service includes working directly with fleet managers, insurance adjusters, and business owners throughout the process. We show up when we say we will, communicate throughout the job, and deliver your vehicle where it needs to go without drama or delay.
Our medium duty equipment handles vehicles up to approximately 26,000 lbs gross vehicle weight. This covers most box trucks, moving trucks, large passenger vans, and single-axle commercial trucks. For loads above 26,000 lbs, call us to discuss options.
Yes. We work regularly with fleet managers and dispatchers and can set up direct billing arrangements for commercial accounts in Pinellas County. Call (727) 279-5431 to discuss your fleet's needs.
We prefer to tow vehicles without cargo for safety and liability reasons. A loaded vehicle shifts the effective weight significantly. We assess each situation individually — call with your specifics and we will advise on the safest approach.
