Heavy Duty Towing in Grandfield, OK

Heavy Duty Towing in Grandfield serves southwest Oklahoma, not north Texas. Grandfield is in Tillman County, Oklahoma, at the intersection of US Route 70 and Oklahoma State Highway 36. If your semi, bus, tank truck or RV is stopped on either road, call (940) 283-6645 and tell dispatch which one.

The route through town

The Wikipedia US 70 article says the highway enters Oklahoma by crossing the Red River, concurrent with US 183. It runs north to Davidson, where US 70 turns east, then reaches Grandfield, where it joins SH 36. The SH 36 article says the two routes run together through Grandfield, SH 36 splits off on the northeast side and heads north, and SH 5 shares about 2 miles of that road north of town. Farther southeast, US 70 meets I-44 at exit 5, the south end of the H.E. Bailey Turnpike.

Tell us where on the road

• US 70 or SH 36, and your direction of travel
• East or west of Grandfield, or on the SH 36 concurrency
• Unit type, length and weight class
• Cargo and whether it is hazardous
• Whether you can steer and roll
• Who pays: driver, fleet, insurer or broker

Dispatch gives an honest arrival estimate on the call.

Oil heritage

Wikipedia says oil was the major influence on Grandfield and names two nearby fields, the Northwest Oil Field and the Red River Oil Field. The Bell Oil and Refinery Company refinery closed in the 1960s, which the article says arguably began the town's population decline, although the line is marked as needing a citation. Oilfield trucks, water haulers and equipment flatbeds still run the area roads, and we recover them.

Climate extremes

Wikipedia lists record temperatures at Grandfield from 116 degrees F in June to minus 13 degrees F. A summer heat wave blows tires and overheats engines. Winter cold gels diesel and leaves air systems frozen. Tell us if you have no heat, no air or a frozen fuel line.

Founding and the town grid

Grandfield voters approved incorporation on January 16, 1909, and its post office opened on January 21, 1909. The town grew on land from the Tant farm, after Reverend Andrew J. Tant worked with Frank Kell to move businesses from Eschiti and Kell City. A long trailer that turns into a side street and cannot back out is a common reason to call.

Crossing from Texas

Per Wikipedia, US 70 enters Oklahoma over the Red River with US 183 and reaches Davidson before turning east toward Grandfield. If you are coming up from Texas, tell us whether you have crossed the river yet. We need the highway and direction, not just the town name.
