Picture this: you're cruising down Highway 99 on your daily commute from Sacramento, just past the Sheldon Road exit, when suddenly your car starts making that noise - you know the one. Steam starts rising from under the hood, and your heart sinks as you realize you're about to become one of those people stranded on the side of California's busiest highway. Last month, that was exactly what happened to Jennifer, a nurse heading home from her shift at Kaiser. She called us from the shoulder near the Laguna Boulevard exit, worried about the kids she needed to pick up from daycare. Fifteen minutes later, our truck was there, and twenty minutes after that, her car was safely loaded and she was on her way to getting back to her normal routine. That's what we do - we turn highway nightmares back into regular Tuesday afternoons. Our specialty isn't moving big rigs; it's helping regular people like you get safely off Highway 99 and back to their lives.

Frequently Asked Questions
1How quickly can you reach me if I'm broken down on Highway 99 south of Sheldon Road?
Usually within 12-15 minutes during peak hours. We position our trucks strategically along the Highway 99 corridor, and since we focus on this specific stretch south of Sheldon Road, we know every exit, mile marker, and safe pull-off spot. Just tell us the closest mile marker or landmark you can see - we'll find you quickly.
2Is it safe to wait on Highway 99 for help to arrive?
Your safety is our top priority. If possible, try to get your car as far right as safely possible and turn on your hazard lights. Stay in your vehicle if you're away from the shoulder, or if it's safe, get out on the passenger side away from traffic. We'll walk you through the safest position when you call - and we'll be there fast.
3What should I do if my car breaks down during rush hour traffic?
Don't panic! Highway 99 gets busy, but we handle rush hour emergencies regularly. Turn on hazards, try to get to the shoulder safely, and call us immediately. We know the traffic patterns and will navigate through congestion to reach you. Our drivers are experienced with high-traffic rescues and will prioritize your safety above all else.
4Do you have experience helping families with kids who are stranded?
Absolutely! We help families all the time - road trips, school pickup emergencies, weekend adventures gone wrong. Our drivers understand that having kids in the car adds stress to any breakdown situation. We're patient, family-friendly, and always keep some coloring books and snacks in our trucks for little ones who are having a rough day.
5Can you help college students who are new to highway driving?
Of course! We love helping young drivers learn. Whether it's their first highway breakdown, a flat tire they've never changed, or just general anxiety about being stranded, we're patient teachers. We'll explain what went wrong, show them basic car safety, and make sure they feel confident getting back on the road. Education is part of our service.
6What's your pricing for regular cars versus commercial vehicles?
Great question! Since we focus on regular drivers, our pricing reflects that. Basic towing typically runs $75-$120 depending on distance, with roadside services like jump starts or tire changes starting around $60-$80. No commercial surcharges, no freight fees - just straightforward pricing for everyday drivers. We'll always quote you the exact price before we start.
