Steel-deck rollback carrier
19-21 ft bed, deck winch, wheel-lift under-reach on most units
The default tow truck. All four wheels off the ground, so it is the right answer for AWD, EV, low-clearance, non-running, and collision vehicles alike.
Need a tow truck in Mansfield? We get one to you fast for cars, pickups and vans, flatbed or wheel-lift depending on what yours needs. You name the destination before we move it. US-287, TX-360, and TX-157 all run through Mansfield, so most calls come off one of those.

The truck that shows up decides whether your vehicle arrives undamaged. This is what the Mansfield network runs and the call each unit is sent on — worth knowing before you accept whatever is closest.
19-21 ft bed, deck winch, wheel-lift under-reach on most units
The default tow truck. All four wheels off the ground, so it is the right answer for AWD, EV, low-clearance, non-running, and collision vehicles alike.
Lighter deck, higher payload, shallower load angle
Two vehicles in one trip, or a lowered car that would scrape a standard approach. The payload headroom is what lets a loaded van ride without going overweight.
L-arm yoke, tire-only contact, compact footprint
Tight rowhouse blocks, parking decks with a height bar, and short repositioning moves where a full carrier cannot physically reach the vehicle.
Cab-controlled wheel-lift, single-operator hookup
Private-property and repossession work where the operator needs to hook without leaving the cab. Fastest pickup of any tow truck.
Rolling axle set placed under the non-lifted wheels
Carried on the wrecker so an AWD or 4WD vehicle can still be towed when no carrier is available. Keeps the drivetrain from spinning without a deck.
Hydraulic wheel skates for locked or missing wheels
Seized brakes, a wheel off the car, or a vehicle sitting in park with no power. The vehicle is rolled onto the deck sideways instead of being dragged.
Add-on ramp sections that flatten the load angle
Lowered, exotic, and slammed vehicles. Requested at booking — an operator who does not carry them will find out at the scene, and then you wait for a second truck.
Front chock, soft straps, drop-deck or ramp load
Any two-wheeler. A bike loaded with the same chains used on a car arrives bent, which is why this is dispatched as its own equipment type.

One call puts a towing unit on the road to you anywhere in Mansfield or out along US-287 and TX-360. Tell us the road and which way you are pointed and we do the rest.
Cars, pickups, vans, motorcycles, and EVs across the Mansfield metro — on a flatbed carrier when the vehicle needs one, on a wheel-lift when it does not. Expand a category to see exactly what gets dispatched and why.
The whole vehicle rides on the deck with all four wheels off the pavement. The default across Mansfield for anything all-wheel-drive, low-clearance, electric, or already damaged — nothing drags, nothing spins, nothing gets added to the repair bill.
Two wheels lifted on an L-arm yoke that cradles the tires, never the bumper or control arms. Faster to hook and narrow enough for a Mansfield rowhouse street or a tight parking garage where a carrier physically will not fit.
AWD and full-time 4WD drivetrains cannot be towed with two wheels turning — it destroys the transfer case and center differential. Every AWD call in Mansfield goes on a flatbed, or on a wheel-lift with dollies under the trailing axle. No exceptions, whatever the last guy told you.
Front-wheel chock, soft straps over the triple tree, and a ramp or drop-deck load. Chains over a fairing or a strap on a handlebar bends what it touches — Mansfield riders get bike-specific equipment or the truck does not roll.
Transits, Sprinters, ProMasters, and box vans up to 14,000 lb GVWR, loaded or empty. Delivery and trades fleets across Mansfield run these all day, and a loaded one needs the deck length confirmed before dispatch.
Out-of-market moves on a carrier, priced by loaded mile once you are clear of the Mansfield metro rather than by the local hook-and-hourly. Relocations, auction pickups, and getting a breakdown home instead of leaving it three states away.
An EV moves on a flatbed with zero drive wheels on the ground — regenerative braking turns a spinning wheel into a generator feeding a pack that may already be faulted. Network operators in Mansfield carry EV-rated skates for a vehicle stuck in park with no 12-volt.
A crash-damaged or thermally-faulted pack is a separate call with its own staging, distance, and monitoring requirements. Mansfield operators coordinate with the fire service and the manufacturer's emergency response guide rather than simply loading and driving away.
Extended ramps, wood blocks, and a shallow approach angle so a splitter or side skirt never touches the deck. Tie-downs go to the manufacturer's designated points — a Mansfield strap over a control arm is how a $4,000 alignment claim starts.
Seized brakes, no keys, flat-spotted tires, or a project that has not moved in a decade. Winched onto the deck with skates or GoJaks under the locked wheels instead of dragged across a Mansfield driveway.
Zero-turn mowers, ATVs, golf carts, scissor lifts, and small utility trailers on a carrier deck. The common Mansfield landscape and contractor call when the tow vehicle itself is what broke.
Scheduled, non-emergency moves between Mansfield dealer lots, auction houses, body shops, and fleet yards — booked ahead, with condition photos on pickup and delivery so nobody argues about a scratch later.
Off the shoulder, into a ditch, over a curb, stuck in mud, snow, or sand. A Mansfield winch-out is billed as recovery time, not as a tow — and a vehicle pulled out straight often drives away instead of riding the deck.
Unplowed streets, alley ice, and vehicles slid into a bank. The first real Mansfield snow generates more tow calls in twelve hours than a normal week, so staged capacity matters more than any single truck's speed.
Non-rolling vehicles loaded with skates or a winch, fluids contained, debris swept. On a Mansfield public roadway the first tow is often assigned off a police rotation — the second move, to the shop you actually chose, is the one you control.
A proper jump pack on the correct terminals, then a charging-system check to see whether it is the battery or the alternator. Roughly a third of Mansfield "needs a tow" calls end here for a fraction of the cost.
Non-destructive entry on a locked vehicle, or enough fuel to reach a station. Both are dispatched on the same truck as the tow, so if the fix does not work the vehicle goes on the deck without a second wait in Mansfield.
Spare mounted roadside where the vehicle carries one. When it carries a mobility kit instead of a spare — increasingly the norm — the Mansfield call converts to a tow to a tire shop, and the operator arrives already knowing that.
Unauthorized vehicles removed from lots, apartment complexes, and reserved spaces at the property owner's request. Governed by posted-signage and notification rules in Mansfield — a compliant removal starts with the sign, not with the truck.
Getting a vehicle out of a Mansfield lot and to your shop or your driveway. The release process belongs to whichever authority ordered the tow; a private operator moves it only after that release is in hand.
You are generally entitled to your belongings out of an impounded vehicle even before the vehicle itself is released. Ask for it explicitly — the Mansfield lot is not obligated to volunteer the process.
Fenced, lit, camera-covered storage when the destination shop is closed or an insurer has not made a decision. Billed per day from arrival across Mansfield, which is why naming a destination up front is the cheapest call you can make.
Your vehicle goes where you say it goes — your mechanic, your dealer, your body shop anywhere in the Mansfield metro — not to whichever lot the truck happens to be based at.
Timestamped condition photos, an itemized invoice, and a written cause note formatted for a claim or a platform reimbursement. Mansfield rideshare and delivery drivers use these to get a tow paid for instead of eaten.
Rolling 30-day average dispatch-to-arrival, by service type, across the local rescuer network.
Almost every local tow is hook-up plus mileage — and then a short list of things that legitimately move it. These are the line items to expect on a Mansfield invoice, and the ones worth questioning.
$99 hook-up + $5-7 per mile
Standard rate for a car, pickup, or van on a flatbed or wheel-lift. Winching, after-hours, storage, and specialty equipment are separate lines — all of them are listed below. Heavy-duty and Class 8 recovery is priced differently and is not this rate.
$99 on our network. A flat charge for dispatching and connecting the vehicle, billed once. It does not change with distance, so it is the single biggest number on a short local tow.
$5 to $7 per mile, charged from pickup to drop. Ask whether mileage starts at your location or at the operator's yard — that one answer can double a suburban tow.
A carrier often costs more than a wheel-lift. For AWD, EV, low-clearance, and damaged vehicles it is not an upsell — a wheel-lift on those causes damage worth many times the difference.
Billed separately from the tow, usually per half-hour, once the vehicle is off the pavement. Pulling a car out of a ditch is labor; carrying it afterward is the tow.
Dollies, skates, and extended ramps may carry a line item. Mention AWD, a locked wheel, or a lowered car when you book and this gets quoted instead of discovered.
Overnight and holiday calls price above the daytime rate. Not a scam — it is a driver woken at 3 a.m. — but it should be disclosed on the phone, not on the invoice.
Standby while you retrieve belongings, wait for police, or decide on a destination is billable once it runs long. Deciding the drop location before the truck arrives keeps this at zero.
Per calendar day from arrival, and it starts the day the vehicle lands even if that is 11 p.m. The most common source of a shocking towing bill.
Retrieving a vehicle outside posted lot hours typically carries its own fee. Going the next morning instead is usually cheaper than the gate charge.
Police-ordered and private-property tows are priced under a regulated maximum rather than by agreement. If a tow you did not request exceeds that cap, that is a complaint to the regulator, not a negotiation.
A jumpstart, lockout, fuel drop, or tire change is priced well below a tow. Describing the symptom accurately is what lets dispatch send the cheaper answer first.
A club or manufacturer benefit usually covers hook-up plus a mileage allowance, with you paying the overage. Know your allowance before choosing a shop 40 miles away.
Road Rescue Network does not set a member operator's rates. What the network does is get you an itemized number before the truck rolls — including the mileage basis and the storage clock — so a tow never turns into a surprise.

The same crews that run Mansfield also cover Arlington (9 mi), Grand Prairie (13 mi) and Kennedale (6 mi), so a call from either side of Tarrant County reaches the same desk.

Patterns observed across recent dispatch data in this metro, by service type and corridor.
The distribution and manufacturing volume on US-287 through Mansfield bunches rigs nose-to-tail, and a 100°F North Texas afternoon finds every worn trailer tire on the superheated pavement. Blowouts cluster on the grades near the SH-360 interchange all summer. Our service trucks carry a full range of commercial sizes to get you legal without a tow.
When a North Texas ice storm rolls in, the elevated SH-360 and US-287 overpasses glaze over first, and rigs that have been parked overnight in the industrial yards hit air-system freezes. Our local mechanics carry methanol-injection kits and air-dryer parts December through February, and most of these calls are roadside fixes rather than tows.
North Texas spring storms drop hail and dump rain on US-287 with little warning, and the sudden slick pavement plus poor visibility produce breakdowns and minor incidents in clusters. Our Mansfield rescuers respond with winch-capable trucks and know which exits give a safe staging spot off the highway.
Towing is the most heavily consumer-regulated work in the industry, and almost nobody reads the rules until their car is already gone. Here is what governs a tow in Mansfield, Texas.
A tow you request is consensual and priced by agreement. A tow ordered by police or a property owner is non-consensual and priced under a regulated maximum. Which one happened determines what you can be charged and what recourse you have.
Most jurisdictions require conspicuous posted signage stating that unauthorized vehicles will be towed, who tows them, and where they go — before a removal is lawful. A tow from a lot with no compliant sign is frequently challengeable.
Outside a police-ordered move, you generally decide where your vehicle goes. An operator steering every vehicle to their own affiliated shop or lot is a signal to ask questions before you sign anything.
Your belongings are usually retrievable even while the vehicle itself is held for fees. Ask specifically — most lots will not offer.
You are entitled to an itemized invoice showing hook-up, mileage, storage, and every add-on as separate lines. A single lump sum with no breakdown is the thing to refuse at the counter, not later.
Drivers must move over or slow for a stopped tow truck showing amber lights. This is why an operator will sometimes reposition your vehicle before working on it — a shoulder is the most dangerous office in the industry.

Most Mansfield calls are answered in about 38 minutes. You get a real time before anyone rolls, and the price before the work starts.
Mansfield sits on the booming southern edge of the DFW Metroplex where US-287 and SH-360 funnel distribution and manufacturing freight through southern Tarrant and Johnson counties. The city has grown a substantial industrial and distribution base anchored by Klein Tools and Mouser Electronics, drawing on the highway network between Fort Worth, Arlington, and the Alliance and south-Dallas logistics hubs. US-287 carries heavy long-haul and distribution volume around the clock.
Mansfield is a city in the U.S. state of Texas, and a suburb of the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area. The city is located mostly in Tarrant County, with small parts in Ellis and Johnson counties. Its location is approximately 30 miles from Dallas and 20 miles from Fort Worth, and is adjacent to Arlington. As of the 2020 census, the population was 72,602, up from 56,368 in 2010.
Mansfield's freight economy runs on its growing industrial and distribution base, the manufacturing rigs feeding Klein Tools and Mouser Electronics, the distribution trucks rolling US-287, and the last-mile freight of one of the fastest-growing suburbs in southern Tarrant County. Road Rescue Network's Mansfield rescuers know the US-287 ramps, the SH-360 industrial stretch, and the warehouse districts. When a manufacturing or distribution rig goes down in the growth-driven crush, our response time times beat the regional benchmark.
The mechanics in Mansfield who handle heavy-duty calls know the North Texas weather extremes: 100°F-plus summer afternoons that blister tires on the US-287 pavement and stress cooling systems under loaded trailers, then sudden spring hail and the occasional hard ice storm that freezes the overpasses and triggers air-system problems. Our service trucks carry coolant and hose kits in summer and air-dryer parts and methanol kits in winter because North Texas makes you ready for both.
Whether you're a fleet manager routing manufacturing freight off US-287 or an owner-operator running SH-360 toward the Arlington and Alliance hubs, the nearest verified, insurance-current rescuer in our Mansfield network is one call away. Road Rescue Network's 24/7 operations team handles dispatch, ETA confirmation, and coordination to keep your downtime short.
Reviews collected from fleet customers and drivers after completed service calls in this metro.
“Tractor wouldn't start at the Mansfield Business Park holding up a dock. RRN had a tech out in under 40 minutes, diagnosed a starter, and got us moving. Excellent coordination with the yard.”
“Trailer tire let go on US-287 in July. Service truck had my size and got me legal in about 35 minutes. No tow, fair price, professional. Best in south Tarrant County.”
“Heavy recovery off SH-360 at night. Operator knew the safe staging spots and worked clean. Took a little longer than quoted with the traffic, but solid work overall.”
Road Rescue Network's standard rate in Mansfield, Texas is $99 for the hook-up plus $5 to $7 per mile. A short local tow across the metro typically lands between $120 and $180 all-in. Winching, after-hours calls, storage, and specialty equipment such as dollies or extended ramps are billed as separate lines, and you get every one of them quoted before the truck rolls rather than after your vehicle is on the deck.
The $99 hook-up is the floor. It is charged once the truck is dispatched and connected, and it does not change with distance, so a two-mile tow and a ten-mile tow both start from the same number. That is why a very short move can feel expensive per mile and why combining a tow with a jumpstart or tire change on the same visit is far cheaper than two separate calls in Mansfield.
For a car, pickup, or van anywhere our network runs in Texas, it is $99 to hook plus $5 to $7 per mile. Rates above that generally mean one of three things: the tow was non-consensual, meaning police or a property owner ordered it and it is priced under a regulated maximum; the vehicle needed winching or recovery before it could be towed; or storage has started accruing daily. Heavy-duty Class 8 recovery is a different service with its own pricing.
Often you can. Roughly a third of calls that come in as "I need a tow" in Mansfield are resolved on the spot with a jumpstart, a lockout, a fuel drop, or a tire change, all of which cost well under a tow. If you carry a motor club membership or a manufacturer roadside benefit, it usually covers the hook-up plus a mileage allowance and you pay only the overage. If your vehicle has already been towed, the fee is owed — but ask for an itemized invoice, because storage starts the day of arrival and every day you delay retrieval adds to it.
That rule is about a vehicle towing a trailer, not about calling a tow truck. It is the guidance that you should not load a trailer beyond roughly 80 percent of your vehicle's maximum tow rating, leaving margin for braking, grades, and crosswinds. It has no bearing on what a tow truck charges — but exceeding it is a common reason a trailer ends up needing one.
Yes, on any tow you request. Tell dispatch the destination when you call and the vehicle goes to your shop, your dealer, or your driveway anywhere in the Mansfield metro. The exception is a police-ordered tow from a crash scene, where the first move goes where the responding authority directs — after that, the move from the lot to your shop is yours to choose.
Average response time in Mansfield is about 38 minutes for mobile truck repair, faster along the US-287 and SH-360 corridors, a bit longer out toward Venus and the rural Johnson County stretches. We track every call and post real averages.
Yes. Mouser Electronics, Klein Tools, and the Mansfield Business Park are among our most-frequented service zones. For breakdowns inside a facility yard, our dispatchers coordinate gate access with security so our tech can reach the rig and clear your dock.
Every Road Rescue Network rescuer in Mansfield maintains current general liability, automobile liability, workers comp, and where applicable garage-keepers insurance. We re-verify each renewal cycle, and expired coverage means automatic suspension from dispatch.
Yes. We handle national accounts with consolidated invoicing, fleet-card billing, and a single point of contact. Most national fleets onboard in under 48 hours.
24/7/365. There is no after-hours surcharge in our network, rescuers quote the same rate at 3am as at 3pm.
We dispatch routinely to the QuikTrip and NAPA on US-287, the RaceTrac on East Broad (SH-360), the Pilot over in Arlington on I-20, and the Love's down I-35W in Alvarado. Our service trucks know these stops well.
Yes. US-287 through Mansfield and the SH-360 industrial corridor toward Arlington are among our most-frequented service zones. The SH-360 / US-287 interchange is a chronic breakdown spot, and our dispatchers know the current safe pull-offs.
Standard service-call dispatch runs $155-225 in the Mansfield area depending on time of day and service type. Heavy-duty towing starts around $455 for in-area moves. You get a confirmed quote before the truck rolls.
Yes. Several of our Mansfield rescuers run fleet-PM programs with scheduled visits to your yard or terminal. Tell us your fleet size and DOT inspection cadence and we'll match you with the right shop.
If we determine on-scene that the rig can't be fixed roadside in a reasonable window, we coordinate a tow with one of our heavy-duty network rescuers. Many of our service trucks dispatch alongside a wrecker so there's no second response time.

Mansfield runs about 64,274 people and sits in Tarrant County, inside the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington Metroplex. We take the call, find the closest crew that actually does this work, and tell you what it costs before anyone turns a wheel.

Three steps from the call to a cleared scene. Same flow whether you call from a fleet desk or the shoulder of an interstate.
Year, make, drivetrain, whether it rolls and steers, and where it needs to go. AWD, an EV, a lowered car, or a locked wheel changes which truck is correct — thirty seconds on the phone in Mansfield prevents the wrong truck arriving and a second wait.
We match a carrier or wheel-lift to the vehicle and send you the hook-up, the mileage basis, and the ETA before it rolls. No Mansfield driver should learn what a tow costs after their car is already on the deck.
Correct tie-down points, condition photos at pickup, and delivery to your shop, your dealer, or your driveway anywhere in the Mansfield metro. If storage is unavoidable, you get the daily rate in writing before the vehicle goes into the yard.
Network rescuers accept all major credit cards, fleet cards, and consumer payment apps. Confirmed at dispatch.
