Huge thank you to RK Graphics for getting our decals done! We couldn't be happier with them! As always with our wreckers we are advertising our title as the "best hookers around" with pride!

Now we are sending #8 to Guy's Towing and Service over the next week to finish the wheel lift upgrades and this truck will be fully in service!

We are excited to announce the arrival of truck number 8!

As some of you know, we started to offer medium towing and recovery as well as heavy recovery at the end of last summer after making a few improvements to truck #5! Since then we have been running that truck almost non stop and decided the 10 ton truck could use a little help! Over the last few months we have been working to get another medium duty wrecker that can also handle heavy towing and we were lucky to find this truck out of Houston, Texas! We are still working on getting decals and a few peices of equipment on this truck and plan to put it in service in early May!

We want to thank all our customers and supporters as we couldn't have gotten this far without all of you! We are very excited to be starting this next chapter and finding new ways to help our community and keeping traffic moving!

Thank you all for the continued support!

Friday March 20th 2026 marked our 3 years in operation! What started out as something to do on the side with just 1 rollback quickly grew into a thriving business with our current fleet consisting of 2 rollbacks, 1 medium duty wrecker, 2 service vehicles and 1 offroad recovery vehicle! We are so grateful for the support of our amazing crew, customers, and friends along the way! We truly couldn't have gotten where we are today without you all!

Winter might have slowed down but we sure haven't! The last 2 weeks we have been full of all nighters and long hauls!

With non stop mud winchouts, an unfortunate amount of accidents, all night roadside service calls, and helping relocate vehicles to St Louis for some locals in the process of moving we have had every peice of equipment and tool in the fleet in use constantly!

We greatly appreciate the hard work of the entire crew all winter and at some point everyone in the company has gone out of there comfort zone and stepped up to the challenge to help our amazing customers and community! Whether it be full time help or part time help we couldn't have made it through without all of you and we cant thank you enough!

Another day of helping travelers!

Today one of our trucks is helping get a vehicle back to Champaign Illinois from the Quad Cities! This picture does not do the weather justice, it is a whiteout down here with a little under a foot of blanket snow with 2-4 foot drifts! Throw in the -10 real feel we are glad we could assist the customer swiftly and deliver there vehicle safely!

Now to get #7 home to help the other trucks catch up this afternoon!

Our Saturday consisted of a medium duty run from Peosta IA to Rochester MN! Always glad when we can get travelers to their destination!

We wanted to wish everyone an early Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you all for the unbelievable amount of support over the past few years!

With the rising chance of severe weather over the next week we hope everyone has safe travels! However if your travels don't go as planned Schmidt Towing and Transport will as always be providing 24/7 towing, recovery and roadside assistance!

We had a great time at the Tennessee Tow Show last week! We attended the most currently updated heavy duty semi, light/ medium duty, as well as 75 ton and 100 ton rotator classes! We were also lucky enough to get to tour Miller Industries Chattanooga plant, where all of our tow truck beds were assembled and installed on the trucks! We are looking forward to implementing our new skills, tactics, and state of the art equipment to get our customers vehicles recovered or loaded faster, safer, and more cost effective!

We are also excited to announce our fleet is growing! Truck #6 is still waiting on decals and a few last peices of equipment, but we are excited for it to hit the road in the next few weeks!

Schmidt Towing and Transport will be temporarily closed starting today until Monday October 13 2025. We are attending the Tennessee Tow show once again and participating in all the latest training! The automotive and transportation industry is constantly changing and with that so is the towing industry. With companys frequently producing new and improved equipment to help us better assist customers in the event of a breakdown or accident, we feel its best to stay up to date on the latest practices to better serve our community and customers. Attending these classes gives us hands on training directly from the equipment manufacturers and designers, that ensures in the event of a breakdown or an accident we get you (and our drivers) off the side of the road as quickly as possible while keeping your vehicle from any further damage. We apologize for any inconvenience in our delayed service.
