Vehicle Types We Tow
If it's too big for a standard flatbed but doesn't need a full heavy wrecker, our medium duty fleet is the right tool. We handle vehicles up to 26,000 lbs GVWR across all of San Diego County — from delivery vans in Mira Mesa to box trucks on I-5.
Box Trucks
16-to-26-foot moving and delivery box trucks, including U-Haul, Penske, Budget, and commercial cargo trucks. Loaded or unloaded, broken down or after an accident — we tow them all.
Cargo & Sprinter Vans
Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster, and full-size cargo vans used by delivery fleets, contractors, and service companies. Quick response to minimize downtime for route-critical vehicles.
Passenger & Shuttle Vans
15-passenger vans, hotel shuttles, airport transfers, charter vans, and transit minibuses. We handle coordinated passenger vehicle recovery with care.
Work & Service Trucks
Contractor flatbeds, utility trucks, service body trucks, and 1-ton dually pickups loaded with equipment. Tools and gear onboard are properly secured during transport.
Medium Commercial Trucks
Class 4, 5, and 6 commercial trucks including medium-duty cab-overs, straight trucks, and light freighters. If it's under 26,000 lbs GVWR, our fleet handles it.
Class C Motorhomes
Mid-size motorhomes and camper vans that are too heavy for light-duty flatbeds. We tow Class C motorhomes safely with proper load distribution and securing.
Non-Emergency Medical Vehicles
Ambulances, medical transport vans, and non-emergency medical vehicles requiring careful handling and documentation. We understand the urgency of getting these vehicles back in service.
Light Equipment Trailers
Skid steers, mini excavators, small construction equipment, and loaded trailers under 26,000 lbs GVWR. Proper rigging and load securement for safe transport to job sites.

San Diego Commercial Towing
San Diego's last-mile delivery economy runs on box trucks and sprinter vans. When a FedEx Transit van breaks down on Convoy Street in Kearny Mesa or an Amazon delivery truck loses power on I-15 near Mira Mesa, every minute costs missed deliveries and customer complaints. CloseBy Towing dispatches medium duty wreckers across San Diego County with a 20-to-30-minute average response time.
Our operators are familiar with San Diego's commercial corridors. Kearny Mesa, Mira Mesa, and Sorrento Valley are dense with industrial parks and distribution hubs where work trucks and delivery vans are constantly in motion. Otay Mesa and National City handle heavy cross-border commercial activity with medium duty vehicles that require specialized equipment to tow safely.
We also cover Downtown San Diego and the Port of San Diego where service trucks and commercial vans operate in tight urban conditions, Chula Vista and El Cajon along the I-805 and I-8 corridors, and North County cities including Escondido, Oceanside, and Carlsbad where contractor trucks and service vehicles are common.
If your vehicle was involved in a collision, our collision recovery team handles accident scene management and coordinates with local authorities. For vehicles stuck off-road or in a ditch, our winch-out service extracts medium duty vehicles safely from any terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about medium duty towing in San Diego. Can't find your answer? Call us at (858) 999-9293 and we'll help right away.
What vehicles qualify as medium duty towing?
Medium duty towing covers vehicles between 10,000 and 26,000 lbs GVWR. This includes box trucks (16–26 ft), delivery vans (Sprinter, Transit, ProMaster), passenger vans, work trucks, Class C motorhomes, mini buses, and most Class 4–6 commercial trucks. If your vehicle is larger than a pickup but smaller than a semi-truck, it likely falls in the medium duty range.
How fast can you respond to a medium duty towing call?
Our average response time for medium duty towing is 20-30 minutes across San Diego County. We dispatch the right equipment immediately so you're not waiting for an undersized flatbed that can't handle your vehicle's weight, or paying for an oversized heavy wrecker you don't need.
Can you tow a loaded box truck?
Yes. We tow loaded and unloaded box trucks up to 26,000 lbs GVWR. If your loaded cargo weight puts you significantly over that threshold, our heavy duty fleet can step in. When you call, tell us the truck size and whether it's loaded — we'll send the right equipment.
What does medium duty towing cost in San Diego?
Medium duty towing starts at $150+ depending on vehicle size, weight, distance, and complexity. We provide upfront quotes before dispatch with no hidden fees. Insurance direct billing is available for commercial fleet accounts. Call (858) 999-9293 for a quote before we roll.
Do you tow Amazon, FedEx, and UPS delivery vans?
Yes. We regularly tow Sprinters, Transits, and ProMasters for last-mile delivery operators across San Diego. We know that every hour a delivery vehicle is down means missed stops and customer complaints. We dispatch fast and document everything for your fleet records.
Can you handle contractor work trucks with equipment in the bed?
Yes. We tow contractor trucks, service trucks, and utility vehicles with tools and equipment onboard. Our operators use proper load securement to keep your gear safe during transport. We'll ask about the load before we arrive so we bring the right rigging.
Do you offer fleet accounts for delivery and service companies?
Yes. We offer priority dispatch, pre-negotiated volume pricing, and dedicated account management for delivery fleets, service companies, and commercial operators. Monthly billing, direct insurance invoicing, and detailed service reports are available for fleet customers.
What's the difference between medium duty and heavy duty towing?
Medium duty covers vehicles up to 26,000 lbs GVWR — box trucks, vans, work trucks, Class C motorhomes. Heavy duty covers vehicles over 26,000 lbs — semi-trucks, full-size buses, construction equipment, and Class A/B motorhomes. Not sure which you need? Call us and describe your vehicle — we'll figure it out and send the right truck.
