A Lakeshore Town with Highway Traffic
Heavy Duty Towing in Lakeside City covers a small town with a big neighbor. Lakeside City is on the south shore of Lake Wichita in Archer County, and Wikipedia puts downtown Wichita Falls about 8 miles away. State Highway 79 touches its southeastern border. If a truck, bus or RV goes down in or around town, call (940) 283-6645 and dispatch will take your location.
Where the roads meet the lake
Wikipedia's SH 79 article says the highway passes Lakeside City on its way into Wichita Falls, where it overlaps US 281 and then follows the city's eastern edge as the Waurika Freeway. Its junction table lists FM 2380, also called Kemp Boulevard. Freeway traffic and the lake streets are very different jobs: a freeway shoulder needs traffic control, while lake streets mean tight turns and parked trailers.
Wikipedia also says the Archer County and Wichita County line runs through Lake Wichita. When you call, tell us which side of the lake you are on and the nearest street or highway. That saves time.
Information we need
- Highway or street name, and direction
- Nearest cross street or landmark
- Unit type, length and weight
- Loaded or empty, and what is aboard
- Whether the unit can roll
- Who is paying
RVs, trailers and weekend traffic
A lake brings campers and boat trailers. Disabled motorhomes, fifth-wheels and long camper trailers are a regular call near water. A motorhome with a blown tire or a failed axle needs a lift or a flatbed, not a quick drag, and we ask about length and weight so we send the right wrecker. If you have a toad car or a boat on a trailer behind it, tell us.
A town built in the 1960s
Residents voted to incorporate on September 7, 1963, according to the Texas State Historical Association. The town added a water department in 1972, a city building in 1976, garbage collection and a volunteer fire department in 1977 and ambulance service in 1981. It had 515 people in 1980 and 1,082 in 2020. A long trailer that backs onto a soft lawn or road edge can sink, so call before you try to pull it out.
Heat, wind and storms
North Texas heat softens asphalt and blows tires on loaded trailers. Spring wind can push high-profile units such as box trucks, buses and empty trailers. After a storm, tree limbs and standing water add problems that a hasty driver will not see until he is in them.
Close to Wichita Falls, still a separate call
Being near a big city does not mean help is next door. Dispatch gives an honest arrival estimate on the call, based on where our wrecker is at that moment. Published rate sheets show heavy hook-ups around $450 plus $9.50 to $10 per mile. Short tows inside the metro cost less than long hauls. Rates vary by unit, distance, scene and time of day. Your written invoice estimate is the price.
