Heavy Duty Towing in Nocona, TX

Heavy Duty Towing in Nocona covers the trucks that run US 82 across north Texas. Nocona is in Montague County, and the Texas State Historical Association places it on US 82, twelve miles north of the county seat of Montague. When a tractor-trailer, box truck, bus or RV stops on that highway, call (940) 283-6645 and our dispatcher will get a recovery moving.

Roads in and out

Wikipedia's Nocona page lists US 82, State Highway 175, and farm roads FM 103, FM 1759 and FM 1956. The US 82 route description says the highway leaves US 287 at Henrietta and heads east to Nocona, where it begins as a four-lane divided highway. In Nocona the junctions include SH 175 toward Montague and FM 103 north on Clay Street. Farther east, US 82 passes Saint Jo and meets US 81 at an interchange at Ringgold.

That layout matters for a recovery. A divided four-lane means a stopped truck may be on the wrong side of a median from a service road. On the farm roads, shoulders are narrow and loaded trucks sink at the edge. Tell us which road, which direction and what you can see, such as a sign, a gate or a farm road number.

Before you call

• Highway and direction of travel
• Nearest cross road, farm road number or business
• Unit type, length and weight class
• Loaded or empty, and the cargo
• What went wrong and whether the unit can roll
• Who is paying: driver, fleet, insurer or broker

The dispatcher gives an honest arrival estimate once we have those answers.

Boots, gloves and oil

Nocona's economy is more specific than most towns this size. Wikipedia lists the Nocona Boot Company, the Nocona Belt Company and Justin Industries in its history, and says Nokona Athletic Goods still makes baseball and softball gloves there. It also describes the North Field, an oil field between Nocona and the Red River that still produces on a small scale. Montague County oil began in 1919, about 12 miles north of Nocona, according to the Texas State Historical Association.

Oil country brings its own recovery work: tank trucks, water haulers, flatbeds with pipe and equipment on trailers, all on county roads that were not built for them. A tank truck off a soft shoulder needs a careful, slow pull. Tell us what the tank holds and whether it is leaking.

Lake Nocona and the traveling public

Wikipedia says Lake Nocona is about 10 miles north of the city and the town has an 18-hole golf course. Weekends bring RVs, trailers and boat haulers. Disabled motorhomes and fifth-wheels are a regular call, and we have the equipment to lift or drag them without tearing up the frame.

Rail history

The Gainesville, Henrietta and Western Railway reached the area in 1887, and Wikipedia says Nocona was founded that year on a bend in the line. The Texas State Historical Association records that residents voted to incorporate on July 30, 1891. The tracks shaped the town's streets and the crossings that long trailers still have to clear.
