Wyoming Tow Crews Featured on ‘Rocky Mountain Wreckers’

When a semi-trailer loaded with 85,000 pounds of cow manure veered off a Colorado highway and landed in a ditch, Cheyenne’s Big Al’s Towing was called to the scene. The dramatic recovery was featured on the USA Network’s Rocky Mountain Wreckers, which showcases the challenges faced by tow crews in Wyoming and the Intermountain West.

Big Al’s Towing is one of two Wyoming-based companies featured on the show, highlighting the high-stakes world of tow truck operations. In one episode, Big Al’s team used a 35-ton Peterbilt to recover the massive truck, all while navigating damaged roadways.

The show, which originally aired on The Weather Channel before moving to USA Network, gives a real, unscripted look at the difficulties of handling major accidents, like the manure truck incident. It emphasizes teamwork, ingenuity, and the often unseen emotional toll of the job.

Alongside Big Al’s, Utah-based Stauffer’s Towing is also featured, with crews tackling wrecks under harsh winter conditions. The program focuses on the tough realities of towing, from technical challenges to the emotional stories of those affected by accidents.

Rocky Mountain Wreckers airs at 8 p.m. Tuesdays on the USA Network. Source: https://cowboystatedaily.com
