Split Tow Service for Semi-Trucks
& Tractor Trailers in Kansas
When your big rig breaks down on the road, you need help fast — and you need someone who knows the Kansas towing laws. Did you know that Kansas does not allow tractor and trailer combination towing when the unit is disabled?
That’s why our Split-Tow Service is one of the most requested heavy-duty towing solutions we offer.
What Is a Split Tow?
A split-tow is the safest and most compliant way to transport a disabled semi, and it’s required in many situations across Kansas. With a split-tow, we dispatch two tow trucks and two certified heavy-duty operators—one wrecker handles the tractor, while the second hauls the trailer. This method keeps you fully compliant with Kansas law, helps you avoid costly fines, and ensures your entire rig is moved safely and quickly off the roadway.

What is a split tow for a semi-truck?
A split tow means your tractor and trailer are towed separately using two tow trucks. Kansas law does not allow a disabled tractor-trailer combination to be towed together, so split tow keeps you legal and safe.
Why can’t Kansas tow my semi-truck and trailer together?
Kansas towing regulations prohibit combination towing of disabled commercial vehicles. For safety and compliance, your truck and trailer must be moved separately.
How fast can you send two trucks for a split tow?
We dispatch two heavy duty tow trucks immediately, 24/7. In most areas, arrival times range from 20–45 minutes, depending on location.
Can you deliver my freight if my truck breaks down?
Yes. We can tow your semi separately and then haul the loaded trailer to its destination to meet your delivery window.
Can you take my tractor and trailer to different locations?
Absolutely. Many drivers request the tractor go to a shop while the trailer heads to a warehouse, receiver, or staging yard.
Do you work with insurance or fleet roadside programs?
Yes. We work with fleet managers, roadside assistance programs, brokers, and owner-operators daily.
Do you offer storage for my trailer or load?
Yes — we can assist with load transfers, storage, and swaps, depending on your situation.
