Big Wheel Towing and Recovery started in 1980 with one tow truck, a 1953 Ford F800 which was originally owned by Sunbeam Bread, that is how we got the yellow color for our trucks. The Ford only had 42,000 miles on it, and stayed inside its whole life. It was equipped with a Holmes 525 unit and a heavy duty truck tow bar. In 1982, Bob purchased a 1970 9500 series GMC single axle straight job with a 671 Detroit, 10 speed road-ranger. We shortened the truck and put a used Well-Built 600 unit on it to handle the heavier stuff a little better. The following year, we bought a 1970 R-Model Mack and installed a W45 unit on it, now we were really in the towing business. From then on, every year we’ve added new equipment. As the times changed, so did we, to ramp trucks, landoll tractor and trailer units, hydraulic wreckers, cranes, boats, large off-road track vehicles, including a hovercraft and front end loaders. We now own the largest factory built wrecker in the country, which is our Kenworth T800 five axle unit with the Jerrdan 85 ton rotator on it. This rotator is the fifth rotator Big Wheels has owned. All Big Wheel Recovery Personnel are WreckMaster 6/7 certified.
