Emergency Recovery Stories: How PJ Towing Saved the Day in Paulding County
When disaster strikes on the roads of Dallas, GA, and Paulding County, it’s not just a inconvenience—it’s a crisis. A flipped semi, a stranded delivery truck, or a wrecked construction rig can mean lost time, money, and even safety risks. At PJ Towing, we’ve built our reputation on stepping up in emergencies, turning chaos into solutions. Here are three real (anonymized) stories of how we saved the day for our community, showcasing the grit and skill that define our heavy-duty recovery team.
Story 1: The Midnight Highway Rescue
It was 2:00 AM when the call came in—a tractor-trailer carrying perishables had blown two tires and veered off Highway 278, blocking a lane and threatening hours of traffic delays. The driver was frantic; his refrigerated cargo wouldn’t last long. Our team sprang into action, arriving with a heavy wrecker and rotator. Working under floodlights, we lifted the rig, swapped the tires with spares from our truck, and towed it to a safe spot—all in under two hours. The driver made his delivery on time, and the highway reopened before the morning rush. Crisis averted.
Story 2: The Muddy Monster in Burnt Hickory
After a rainy week, a construction company called us in a panic: their 30-ton excavator had slid into a muddy ditch off a rural road near Burnt Hickory. The clock was ticking—every hour off the job cost them thousands. Our crew rolled up with a heavy-duty winch and a lowboy trailer. The mud was relentless, sucking at the machine with every pull, but our operators rigged a custom setup with steel cables and slowly hauled it out. By noon, the excavator was back on solid ground and loaded for transport, letting the crew get back to work. They called us “miracle workers”—we just call it another day at PJ Towing.
Story 3: The Overturned Dump Truck on Highway 61
A sunny afternoon turned chaotic when a dump truck loaded with gravel took a curve too fast on Highway 61 and rolled onto its side, spilling its load across both lanes. Traffic was at a standstill, and the driver was shaken but unharmed. Our team arrived with a rotator and a support wrecker, coordinating with local police to manage the scene. Step by step, we righted the truck, cleared the gravel with help from a partner crew, and towed the rig away. In just three hours, the road was clear, and drivers were back on their way—proof that speed and teamwork can turn a mess into a memory.
