When a semi goes down on I-57 at 2am, when a tanker rolls over on I-64, when no one else has the equipment — Rick's Towing answers the call. WreckMaster-certified operators. Miller Industries Century 1075 rotator on standby. The most capable heavy recovery operation in Southern Illinois.
Class 8 tractors, sleeper cabs, day cabs — loaded or empty. Our heavy duty Peterbilt wrecker and WreckMaster-certified operators handle semi tows across Southern Illinois and beyond. No job too heavy, no location too remote.
Overturned semis, jackknifed trailers, vehicles off embankments — this is where WreckMaster certification matters most. We coordinate with law enforcement and IDOT, manage the scene, and recover the vehicle safely and efficiently.
The Miller Industries Century 1075 rotator crane is the most capable recovery tool in Southern Illinois. 75-ton capacity, 360-degree rotation, full boom extension — for the recoveries that require precision lifting and placement in tight or difficult positions.
Fuel tankers, chemical tankers, refrigerated trailers, livestock haulers — specialty cargo requires specialized recovery techniques. Our WreckMaster operators are trained for high-consequence loads and work with spill response teams when needed.
Construction equipment, industrial machinery, farm equipment, and oversized loads. We run a lowboy flatbed for transport and the Century 1075 for precision crane placement. Fully permitted. Fully insured. On time.
The most versatile heavy recovery tool in Southern Illinois. When other towing companies say they can't do it, we show up with this.


Heavy recovery isn't about showing up — it's about showing up with the right certification, the right equipment, and operators who've done it thousands of times. That's Rick's Towing.
