Four State Routes and Two Rail Lines

Heavy Duty Towing in Columbiana, Ohio is mostly a state-route job. The city of 6,559 people (2020 census) sits in Columbiana and Mahoning counties and has no interstate of its own. What it has is State Routes 14, 46, 164 and 344, plus SR 7 on the west side, and the SR 11 freeway nearby. A tractor-trailer, dump truck, box truck or piece of equipment that quits on one of those roads needs a heavy wrecker that knows how the routes overlap. Call (330) 542-5961 and dispatch will take it from there, any hour.

Where the routes overlap

SR 14 and SR 46 run east and west through the northern part of the city and share the same pavement. SR 14 goes west toward Salem and SR 46 goes north toward Canfield. SR 164 and SR 344 arrive from Leetonia together, then SR 164 turns north and south through downtown while SR 344 ends. For a driver, this is where wrong turns happen. A rig that follows a GPS onto a route marked with two numbers can end up on a street that was never meant for a 53-foot trailer. When you call, tell us which number you are on and which way you are headed. If a sign shows two route numbers at once, tell us both.

Rail crossings and the mainline

The city lies along portions of the Norfolk Southern Fort Wayne Line and the Youngstown and Southeastern Railroad. Rail crossings are the classic place for a low-slung trailer, a lowboy or a tall box truck to get hung up. A unit stuck on tracks is an emergency. If you are on or near a crossing, get everyone out and away from the tracks, then call (330) 542-5961 and the local emergency number so the railroad can be told. Our wrecker comes after the crossing is safe.

The city's footprint

Columbiana was laid out in 1805 by Joshua Dixon and William Heald and incorporated as a village in 1837. It became a city in 2000 and covers a little over six square miles at about 1,125 feet in elevation. The Firestone Farms shopping and business park sits on the west side near SR 7. A delivery truck backing into a retail or business lot is one common call. Vans and box trucks get stuck on soft shoulders and lot edges, especially in wet weather.

SR 11 for the long haul

The nearest freeway access is SR 11. Its exit 23 is SR 344 toward Columbiana and Leetonia. Trucks coming off SR 11 to reach the city use that exit, and trucks heading out use it too. If your breakdown is on SR 11 itself, give us the nearest exit number and the direction.

Columbiana Questions

Do you recover trucks stuck on the rail crossings in Columbiana?

We recover them once the crossing is safe. First get everyone clear of the tracks and report the crossing to the railroad and emergency services. Then call (330) 542-5961 with the street and the unit type.

I am on SR 14 and SR 46 together. What do I tell dispatch?

Say both numbers, the direction of travel and the nearest cross street or business. Where two routes share a road, the extra detail keeps the wrecker from going to the wrong stretch.

Can you reach SR 11 exit 23 from Columbiana?

Yes. Tell us the direction and the exit. Dispatch answers 24/7 and gives an honest arrival estimate based on where the nearest wrecker is.

Do you handle equipment hauling and stuck loads?

Yes. If a trailer with a skid steer, excavator or other machine is stuck, tell us the machine's weight and the ground conditions. Soft shoulders often need a winch and a different pull angle.
