For towing in Chugwater, WY, D&J Towing covers the town and the long stretch of I-25 between Cheyenne and Wheatland, where Chugwater sits at Exits 54 and 57. Our Wyoming work is built for semis, commercial trucks, buses and equipment, and dispatch answers around the clock.
Chugwater is a small town on a long, open piece of interstate. Most trouble here starts on I-25, not on a street in town, and the road itself shapes the job more than anything else: the wind, the winter closures, and the miles between exits.
Chugwater sits right between Wheatland and Cheyenne on that run. For the whole interstate from the Colorado line north, see our I-25 corridor page.
The open ground around Chugwater and Bordeaux catches the wind, and WYDOT posts light, high-profile restrictions on this stretch. Empty trailers are the units most at risk.
Winter storms have closed I-25 outright between Cheyenne and Wheatland. A recovery starts once the road is safe for our truck to reach you.
South of town the exits are county roads: Bear Creek Road, Little Bear, Nimmo Road, Whitaker Road. Exit 17, where US 85 leaves for Torrington, is about 37 miles south of Exit 54. Wheatland is about 21 miles north of Exit 57.
Ranching and farming remain a big part of Platte County, so stock trailers, hay loads and farm machinery share these exits with freight. We haul and recover equipment as well as trucks.

Town is a short run off the interstate at either exit.
WYDOT reports this part of I-25 as its own segment, named Chugwater, from about milepost 31 to milepost 72. When a closure or wind restriction for "Chugwater" comes over the radio or 511, this is the stretch it covers. Exit numbers here match the mileposts, so the last exit you passed tells us within a few miles where you are.
Three kinds of calls cover most of what goes wrong around Chugwater. Each one goes better when dispatch hears the exit, the unit and how it sits before the truck rolls.
Tractor-trailers, dump trucks, buses and box trucks that break down or get stopped by a closure between Cheyenne and Wheatland. Loaded or empty, the unit gets rigged and towed to the shop or drop point you name.
Rollovers, jackknifes, blown-over trailers and units in the median or down the shoulder. Here the work is getting the unit back on the pavement safely before it can be towed anywhere.
Tractors, loaders and other machines that need to move between ranches, job sites and shops, or that are stuck or tipped and need recovery first.
Five answers get the right truck and the right rigging moving. Have them ready before you dial, or read them off this list while you talk.
Then call us. One number covers Wyoming and Colorado, 24 hours a day.
Not covered here? Call dispatch and ask.
It covers WYDOT's Chugwater segment of I-25, from about milepost 31 at Whitaker Road to milepost 72 near Wheatland. If your last exit falls in that range, the posting applies to you.
Call 911 first if anyone is hurt or the unit blocks a lane. Then call us with the exit, the unit and the restriction in place. A recovery in high wind waits until it can be done safely.
Call with the exit, the unit and the road status, and dispatch will take it from there. D&J Towing has run tows and recoveries since 1984, and the same 24/7 line covers every Wyoming call between Cheyenne and Wheatland.
