Cargo Load Shifts, Load Swaps and Transfers
Unstable cargo is more than just a hassle—it’s a safety risk and a ticking clock. At T & W Towing, we offer fast, on-site cargo correction services across Southern Minnesota and Northern Iowa. With direct access to I-90, I-35, and major truck routes, our team arrives quickly and ready to work.

Freight Transfers & Cargo Rebalancing
Palletized & Oversized Load Handling
Our operators assess the situation on arrival and use pallet jacks, straps, forklifts, and containment gear to rebalance or transfer your freight safely, without damaging your cargo or wasting time.
Specialized Services for Leaning & Sinking Trailers
When trailers lean or start sinking, it’s easy to panic, but at T & W Towing, we have the tools and expertise to stabilize and recover these tricky situations. Our team is equipped with winching systems, rotator booms, and precision equipment to safely right leaning trailers or extract sinking ones from muddy fields or icy waters.
If your trailer is partially submerged, leaning into a ditch, or stuck in soft soil, we’ll use the safest method possible to recover it without worsening the damage. Our operators are skilled in evaluating each situation and implementing the most effective recovery strategy.
Air-cushion Recovery
In cases where delicate or sensitive cargo needs to be recovered—such as loaded tankers or trailers carrying valuable freight—our air-cushioned recovery system is the solution. This method lifts trailers gently and evenly, preventing cargo shifts, damage, or ruptures during recovery.
Our team is trained in air-cushion recovery techniques to ensure the safest recovery possible, minimizing the risk of damage to both your vehicle and its contents. Available 24/7, we respond quickly to emergencies, making this method ideal for critical cargo recovery.

When it comes to livestock haulers, every second counts. We specialize in emergency recovery and towing for trailers carrying pigs, cattle, turkeys, and chickens—especially for fleets heading to Hormel in Austin and other processing facilities throughout Southern Minnesota and Northern Iowa.
Livestock can’t afford long delays. Stress, heat, and lack of ventilation can quickly turn a breakdown into a life-threatening situation for the animals. That’s why we treat these calls as top priority.
