Towing
Heavy-duty wreckers, flatbeds, and light-duty hooks. Cars to Class 8 commercial — we move it safely, anywhere on or off I-81.
Family-owned, Schuylkill-born, and rolling 24/7 on Interstate 81 since before most of today's tow trucks were built. Meet the team behind every dispatch.
JRL Emergency Services started as a small family garage on the streets of Pottsville and grew alongside the trucking industry that runs through Schuylkill County. Three generations later, we still answer the phone the same way our grandfather did — ready to roll, no matter the weather, no matter the hour.
Today our fleet covers everything from minor emergencies on Route 61 to a fully loaded reefer on its side at the bottom of an I-81 grade. The trucks have changed. The standard hasn't.
Talk to DispatchOne dispatcher, one phone number, and four core capabilities — built to handle whatever comes off the highway.
Heavy-duty wreckers, flatbeds, and light-duty hooks. Cars to Class 8 commercial — we move it safely, anywhere on or off I-81.
