The Five Best Big Rig Towing Companies in the Midwest
CHRIS KUTZ
O’Hare Towing Service - Chicago, Illinois
Home to four bustling locations and a fleet of over 75 tow trucks and equipment that function across the Chicago metro area, O’Hare Towing Service offers 24-hour services every day of the year. This includes light duty and heavy duty towing, in addition to challenging recoveries that seem near-impossible to get out of. Helping out the community since 1963, this towing service is especially popular due to its showcase in the reality TV show, Wrecked: Life in the Crash Lane, which aired on the Speed Channel from 2008-2009 and stars the Gratzianna family, owners of O’Hare Towing. In addition to being local celebrities, the family-owned business does on-site repairs, complimentary transports and other special services.

Zore’s Towing - Indianapolis, Indiana
With five locations throughout Central Indiana, the award-winning Zore’s Towing offers 24-hour roadside assistance that includes towing and parts replacements, most of their clientele around the Indianapolis region. Family-owned since 1927, the company is one of the oldest towing services in the country, offering light, medium and heavy heavy duty tows, in addition to transportation of heavy equipment. The company is heavily involved in the local community, so they offer services through other local businesses such as Bob’s Towing & Recovery in Lebanon.
