Emergency Response Process

1. Call (814) 873-9038 and describe your location, rig type, and situation so dispatch can send the right equipment.

3. Stay with your vehicle if safe, activate hazard lights, and deploy reflective triangles.

4. The wrecker arrives, secures the scene, and assesses the best approach for your truck and trailer configuration.

5. Your rig is transported to the repair facility of your choice, locally or long distance, with every item accounted for.


How Quickly Can You Respond to an Emergency Semi Breakdown?

BR Czarnecki Towing prioritizes speed on every emergency call. Wreckers are available any time of day or night and respond in the harshest lake-effect weather Erie produces. The shop sits right at Exit 35 on I-90, putting the crew in an ideal position to reach breakdowns along the corridor fast. Owner-operators and fleet managers between the Ohio and New York state lines can count on a response that does not leave them waiting hours on the shoulder.

I-90 and US-20 Emergency Coverage

BR Czarnecki runs 24/7 semi truck towing along the I-90 and US-20 corridors through Erie County, PA. Coverage extends east toward North East, PA, west into the Ohio border region, and north toward lake communities that feed freight traffic year-round. The crew also reaches Jamestown, NY, when a load needs to move across state lines. Erie sits at a regional crossroads where Pennsylvania, New York, and Ohio freight traffic converges, meaning a breakdown here can tie up a run across multiple states. A heavy-duty wrecker just off I-90 at Exit 35 means BR Czarnecki often reaches corridor breakdowns faster than companies dispatching from farther inland.

Why Owner-Operators Trust BR Czarnecki Towing

BR Czarnecki Towing has been an OOIDA member since it opened, a longstanding commitment to the trucking community. The company is also an approved operator on New York State toll roads and freeways, which matters when a breakdown happens on a controlled-access route across the state line. Equipment is purpose-built for heavy-duty work, and the crew is trained to move efficiently without causing additional damage to the truck or trailer. Few providers match that combination of location, credentials, and purpose-built equipment for emergency semi truck towing along this stretch of I-90.
