Hanover Wrecker Service responded to an overturned coal-hauling semi that left the roadway and entered Little Huff Creek. With the driver uninjured, our team deployed two Peterbilt heavy wreckers equipped with Challenger 6807 units to safely upright and recover the truck from the embankment. Using WreckMaster recovery discipline and coordinated scene management, the roadway was cleared and reopened without further damage.
Professional. Calculated. Controlled.
This is heavy recovery done right.

This Sevierville recovery challenged our team to remove a vehicle resting over a retaining wall without causing further damage. Using advanced WreckMaster techniques, dual winch lines, and precise rigging, we lifted the vehicle into position and safely loaded it onto a rollback.
This recovery earned industry recognition from American Towman Magazine — proof that training, planning, and precision matter.
