Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what folks ask us most — before the tow truck ever rolls out. Don't see yours here? Call (601) 264-0435 and just ask; a real person picks up, any hour.

Are you really open 24 hours?

We are. Trouble on the road doesn't wait for business hours, so neither do we — day, night, weekends, and holidays. Call (601) 264-0435 whenever it happens and a real person answers, not a machine.

How is the cost of a tow figured out?

Two things, mostly: how far we're hauling and what kind of vehicle it is. We quote you a firm price on the phone before we ever hook up — no surprise "arrival" or "after-hours" charges tacked on when the bill comes. If you're not sure, just call and ask; we'll give it to you straight.

What kinds of vehicles can you tow?

Cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans are everyday work for us. We also handle lowered, classic, and all-wheel-drive vehicles on a flatbed so nothing gets dragged, and we can move motorcycles too. Tell us what you're driving when you call and we'll bring the right truck the first time.

Do you handle accident recovery and winch-outs?

Yes — that's one of our specialties. If your vehicle slid off the road, dropped into a ditch, or is stuck where a regular tow can't reach it, we've got the winch and the know-how to get it out without making the damage worse.

What areas do you cover?

We're based right in Hattiesburg on W Red Street and run the whole Pine Belt — Petal, Purvis, Oak Grove, Sumrall, and the highways in between like I-59 and Highway 49. Not sure you're in range? Call and ask. If we can't reach you, we'll point you to someone who can.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Peanut's is a DOT-registered carrier and fully insured, so your vehicle is covered from the second we load it until we set it down where you asked.

Can you tow my vehicle to any shop I want?

Absolutely. It's your vehicle, so it's your call — your mechanic, the dealership, your home, or wherever makes sense to you. Just give us the address or the shop name when you call and that's exactly where it goes.

What should I have ready when I call?

A few things speed us up: where you are (a cross-street, mile marker, or a dropped pin), the year, make, and model of the vehicle, what's wrong with it, and where you'd like it taken. If it's lowered or all-wheel-drive, mention that so we send the flatbed.

Do you handle long-distance or out-of-state transport?

We do. If you need a vehicle moved out of the Pine Belt — across Mississippi or over a state line — we run flatbed hauls for that too. Call with the pickup and drop-off spots and we'll work out the details and a firm price up front.

Need a truck now?

One call to Peanut's and we're on the way. 24 hours a day.
