Towing Covers More Than a Simple Breakdown.
Most people call a tow truck once or twice in their life, so it helps to know what we actually handle. Tri-State Roadside runs towing calls all over Lumberton and South Mississippi, and no two calls look the same. Here are the situations we see most often.
Mechanical breakdowns. When a vehicle just won't move, whether it's a blown transmission or a dead battery, we get it loaded and off the road before it becomes a hazard to other drivers.
Accident scenes. If the vehicle isn't drivable after a collision, we work carefully around the wreckage and get it clear of traffic and to your shop or insurance drop-off point.
A flat tire with no usable spare. It happens more than you'd think. If you can't limp it to a shop, we'll tow the vehicle in rather than risk the rim or the tire shredding further.
Stuck in mud or a ditch. South Mississippi backroads get soft after rain. We bring the right rigging to pull a vehicle out without adding more damage.
Won't start. Whether it's in a parking lot or on the shoulder, a car that won't start still needs to move. We hook up and haul it to wherever you need it.
Five Steps From Your Call to Drop-Off.
Step 1. Call and describe the vehicle and location.
Dial 228-547-4420 and tell us what's wrong and where you are. The more detail you give, the faster we can dispatch the right truck.
Step 2. We confirm your location and dispatch.
Tri-State Roadside confirms your exact location and sends the nearest available unit toward you right away.
Step 3. The operator arrives and assesses the vehicle.
We look at the vehicle on site and pick the right tow method, whether that's wheel lift, flatbed, or hook-and-chain.
Step 4. The vehicle is secured and loaded.
We rig and load the vehicle with the appropriate equipment so nothing shifts or scrapes during transport.
Step 5. Transport to your confirmed destination.
The vehicle goes to the destination you confirm with us before the truck ever leaves the pickup spot.
What Changes the Cost of a Tow.
Towing pricing reflects real variables on the ground, not a flat rate you can quote blind. A few factors decide what a given tow actually costs.
Distance from pickup to drop-off matters, along with vehicle size and weight since a compact car costs less to move than a loaded pickup or SUV. Road conditions at pickup play a role too, a highway shoulder is a quick job while a muddy ditch pull-off takes more time and equipment. Time of day counts as well, including after-hours calls.
We tell you the price before the vehicle gets hooked up, no surprises after the fact. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and cash.
Rigging Discipline Comes From Doing the Work.
Tri-State Roadside was established in 2025 and operates out of Lumberton, MS, with the owner personally involved in every job.
In our experience, the biggest frustration drivers face isn't the breakdown itself, it's the wait and the uncertainty. We've found that clear communication before the hook-up prevents most of the disputes that give towing a bad reputation.
"I started Tri-State Roadside because I've seen how badly a tow can go when the operator is guessing about the rigging. I check every truck myself before it leaves, and when you call, you get a straight answer on timing and cost before anything gets hooked up."
Marcus Taylor, Owner — Tri-State Roadside, Lumberton, MS.
