Heavy-Duty Truck Recovery That Starts With a Plan
No two wrecks are alike. A loaded tanker on a downhill curve, a box truck that slid off a frozen shoulder and a dump truck rolled on a job-site haul road each call for a different approach. Crosskeys provides heavy duty accident recovery for tractor-trailers, Class 7 and 8 trucks, tankers, dump trucks and heavy equipment across Tioga County and the surrounding region.
Every recovery starts the same way: an experienced operator reads the scene, figures out how the unit came to rest and builds a rigging plan with a backup before a single cable is set. That’s how you get a truck and trailer uprighted and off the road without adding damage to the equipment, the cargo or the roadway.
Owner Richard “Lee” Franks, Jr. started running wreckers at 16 and has owned and operated his own over-the-road fleet. He knows what a crash costs you in downtime, and he runs every recovery accordingly. When the scene is cleared, we can tow the unit to your shop, our yard or your dealership.
— What We Recover
Truck on its side, Leaning Hard, Winch-Outs & More
From a single unit off the shoulder to a multi-vehicle incident with lanes closed, our heavy-duty wreckers and recovery gear are matched to the job, and our operators know how to use them.
01
Rollover & Overturned Trailer Recovery
Tractor-trailer rollover recovery takes planning, not just pulling power. We assess load, frame and fuel tanks, set controlled rigging and upright the unit in stages to protect the truck, the trailer and what’s inside it.
02
Jackknife & Multi-Vehicle Incidents
Jackknifed rigs and chain-reaction crashes tie up lanes fast. We separate and stage units, coordinate with responders on scene, and work to reopen the roadway as quickly as it can be done safely.
03
Winch-Outs & Ditch Recovery
Semi truck winch-outs from ditches, medians, soft shoulders and embankments. Proper anchoring and line angles get the unit back on solid ground without twisting the frame or tearing up the trailer.
04
Off-Road & Gasfield Recovery
Remote well pads, lease roads, logging trails and construction sites. We recover trucks and equipment stuck in mud, snow and steep grades where a standard tow truck can’t reach or can’t get the leverage.
05
Load Securement & Cargo Transfer
When a load has shifted or the trailer can’t be uprighted loaded, we secure what’s left and coordinate transfer of cargo so the recovery can move forward without unnecessary product loss.
06
Recovery Towing & Lowboy Transport
Once it’s back on its wheels, we tow the tractor and trailer, or haul damaged equipment on our lowboy, to your shop or yard. See our equipment hauling and heavy haul transport services.
— On Scene
How We Work an Accident Scene
A disciplined process keeps responders safe, protects your equipment and gets lanes open sooner.
01 Call & Triage
A live dispatcher takes the location, unit type, load and road conditions and sends the right equipment the first time.
02 Assess the Scene
Our operator checks how the unit came to rest, the load, fuel and fluids, and coordinates with police, fire and PennDOT on scene.
03 Plan the Lift
We set a rigging plan with a backup option, then give everyone a realistic timeline before work begins.
04 Recover & Clear
Controlled uprighting or winching, then debris cleanup. If fluids are released, we contain what we safely can and coordinate cleanup.
05 Tow & Report
The unit goes where you need it, and your dispatch or fleet manager gets clear updates from arrival to clearance.

— FAQ
Heavy Duty Recovery Questions, Answered
Heavy duty accident recovery is the work of safely returning a wrecked or overturned commercial vehicle to its wheels, removing it from the scene, and clearing the roadway. It covers tractor-trailers, Class 7 and 8 trucks, tankers, dump trucks and heavy equipment involved in rollovers, jackknifes, run-off-road incidents and collisions, followed by towing or transport to a shop, yard or dealership.
Yes. Crosskeys runs round-the-clock dispatch, and you talk to a real dispatcher who understands commercial trucking, not an automated menu. Call 570-723-8697 any time, day or night, including weekends and holidays.
It depends on the load, the terrain, how the unit came to rest and whether cargo has to be transferred before the trailer can be uprighted. An empty trailer on a shoulder is a much shorter job than a loaded unit down an embankment. Our crew assesses the scene first and gives you and the officers on scene a realistic timeline before work begins.
Yes. We work directly with fleet management providers including Penske SOS, FleetNet, Holman Fleet Management, Ryder and UPS, and we maintain the insurance and compliance requirements those programs demand. We follow your company’s protocols and keep your dispatch updated from arrival to clearance.
We are based on Route 6 in Mansfield, Pennsylvania, and respond throughout Tioga County along the I-99 (US-15) and US-6 corridor and the surrounding region. Call with your location and we will give you an honest ETA.
Yes. We regularly recover trucks and equipment from remote well sites, unimproved access roads, job sites, ditches and mud. Off-road recovery takes careful rigging and anchor planning, and our operators have years of experience working in exactly that kind of terrain.
