Need a box truck moved in Boston? Boston Towing Service dispatches around the clock across Boston, MA. Towing a box truck is not the same job as towing a sedan — it comes down to weight rating, deck length, and how the vehicle is secured — so we confirm what you are driving before a truck rolls, and quote the price before the hook goes on.
The right equipment for a box truck
Sending an under-rated truck is how a tow turns into damage. Our dispatcher matches the load to the equipment — deck, wheel-lift, or heavy wrecker — and the operator secures it to the manufacturer’s tie-down points rather than whatever is reachable.
Box truck towing in Boston usually means a mid-size delivery vehicle stuck at a loading dock, wedged on a narrow street, or locked with the driver outside — not a job for a passenger tow. Flatbed towing in this market publishes at $50–$125. Boston Towing Service dispatches 24/7 from East Boston, for single calls and standing fleet accounts alike.
Boston's blocks were laid out long before delivery trucks needed to turn onto them, which is exactly why a box truck wedged into a loading dock or stuck nose-first down a one-way isn't a rare call. A wrong turn between parked cars can pin a box truck in place until someone with the right lift equipment gets it out or gets it towed.
Boston Towing Service dispatches 24 hours a day, every day, out of its East Boston base, and takes calls the same way whether it's a single driver locked out mid-route or a dispatcher setting up a standing account for a fleet that runs several box trucks a day.
What does it cost to tow a box truck in Boston?
Box trucks generally fall under flatbed towing rather than heavy-duty recovery, and published flatbed rates in the Boston market run $50–$125 across four local providers. Cost moves with distance, whether the truck needs a flatbed or a wheel-lift, and how much maneuvering it takes to reach it in the first place.
Boston Towing Service quotes the call by phone first, using the truck's size and where it's stuck to price it before a truck is sent.
Can you set up towing for a fleet of delivery trucks?
Boston Towing Service takes contract and account-based towing calls, not just one-off dispatches, which matters for a company running multiple box trucks on tight delivery windows. One number covers a breakdown anywhere across the 22 communities the company serves, rather than a search for whoever's closest that day.
Do you tow box trucks and delivery vehicles?
Yes, box truck towing is a regular call type, whether it's a single breakdown or an ongoing account for a delivery fleet.
What if the driver is locked out of the box truck?
Lockouts on commercial trucks are priced the way lockouts generally run in this market — published rates in Boston are $75–$225 — and Boston Towing Service quotes the specific call before sending a truck.
Is towing available outside business hours for a fleet?
Yes. The line is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so a box truck stuck on a night delivery run gets the same dispatch as one during the day.
