Requesting towing near Shoshone

A request near Shoshone may involve California State Route 127, the Tecopa area, or a route back toward Nevada. Do not assume that a town label identifies the pickup. Include the state, road number, direction of travel, map pin, and nearest safe landmark.

Long distances, heat, limited shoulders, and changing cell coverage make preparation important. Stay with the vehicle when safe, conserve phone power, and contact emergency services for any immediate danger. Towing availability should be confirmed before making other travel arrangements.

  • Tecopa-area connections
  • California Route 178 / Nevada Route 372 corridor

Local dispatch guidance

  • Include “California” in the request; nearby routes cross state lines and similar place names can create confusion.

  • National park, protected land, or remote-road incidents may have access restrictions and require specialized coordination.

Coverage note: A submitted request is not guaranteed service. Exact location, route, access, vehicle, equipment, distance, timing, and current availability must be reviewed and confirmed.
