Heavy-Duty in Shockoe Bottom, VA.
Heavy-Duty for Shockoe Bottom homes, done by experienced Richmond metro crews. Box trucks, rental moving trucks, step vans, port and logistics-fleet trucks, and buses need a rotator or heavy-duty wrecker - not a light-duty rollback. The Port of Richmond alone runs three-barge, six-day-a-week container service adjacent to I-95, and Amazon's Henrico and Chesterfield fulfillment centers keep a real population of commercial trucks moving through the metro daily.
Why is heavy-duty different in Richmond Core?
Richmond Raceway's Cook Out 400 weekend and the CarMax Park stadium traffic replacing the old Diamond both concentrate box-truck, shuttle-bus, and delivery-van volume into Northside and Downtown on the same corridor VDOT flagged for the I-95/I-64 Exit 78 interchange, and the Amazon robotics fulfillment center built on the old Strawberry Hill Fairgrounds site adds daily commercial-fleet volume. The Port of Richmond's barge-to-truck cargo transfer near Manchester funnels its own commercial traffic onto I-95.
