Summit is a city in Cook County, Illinois, United States. The population was 11,161 at the 2020 census.

When a truck goes down in Summit, IL, the clock starts on driver hours, idle fuel, and a delivery window. The corridors that matter here are I-55, I-294, US-12 and US-20. I-55 alone accounts for about 20.8 miles inside the Summit service radius, running between Joliet, IL and Chicago, IL.

Coverage out of Summit includes mobile truck repair, heavy-duty and light-duty towing, commercial tire service, fuel delivery, lockout, jumpstart, winching and recovery, trailer repair, and mobile diesel mechanic work.
