Call live Kansas City dispatch at 816-588-8888 for current availability.
I-70 crosses the metro from Wyandotte County through downtown Kansas City, the stadium corridor, Blue Springs, and eastern Jackson County. Construction, closely spaced interchanges, state-line jurisdiction, and long corridor distances make the exact carriageway and exit essential. Begin with safety, then report the state, direction, interchange, lane or shoulder, and current traffic control.
A vehicle blocking a travel lane, injury, fire, smoke, hazardous spill, unstable vehicle, or immediate impact risk requires emergency help. Keep seat belts fastened unless remaining is more dangerous, do not stand behind the vehicle in traffic, and follow the call-taker or responder's instructions.
Give Kansas or Missouri and eastbound or westbound. In KCK, useful references include I-435, I-635, U.S. 69/18th Street, U.S. 169/7th Street, and the downtown approach. In Missouri, distinguish the Downtown Loop, Paseo, U.S. 40/31st Street, I-435, stadium exits, MO 7, and points farther east.
Downtown I-70 and I-670 movements can be close together. State whether you are on through I-70, the loop, I-670, a bridge, a collector lane, or a named entrance, exit, or freeway connector. Repeat the signed route and destination rather than describing only the skyline or neighborhood.
MoDOT's Improve I-70 KC work affects the corridor between The Paseo and U.S. 40/31st Street, while major I-70 improvements continue east of Blue Springs. Kansas projects can also change ramps and bridges. Report narrowed shoulders, barrier walls, closed ramps, lane shifts, workers, and the nearest open access point.
Check KC Scout for the metro, KanDrive for Kansas, and MoDOT's Traveler Information Map for Missouri. A repair shop or storage destination may require a different route when bridges, ramps, or lanes are closed; confirm that the destination will accept the vehicle.
Give vehicle condition, keys, drivetrain, wheels, tires, damage, cargo, leaks, destination, and authority. Call 816-588-8888 for a live review of current authority, availability, estimate, safe access, and assignment. An online article or unconfirmed message does not mean a truck has been dispatched.
Kansas or Missouri, eastbound or westbound, signed exit or mile marker, mainline or ramp, I-70 or I-670, shoulder side, bridge, last passed interchange, and a safe map pin.
Barrier, lane shift, narrowed or absent shoulder, closed ramp, posted detour, construction vehicle access, police or contractor traffic control, and whether the vehicle can reach a public lot.
Year, make, model, keys, drivetrain, power, wheels, tires, steering, brakes, damage, leaks, cargo, passengers, temperature concerns, and immediate hazards.
Owner, insurer or scene authority, requested destination, receiving confirmation and hours, route restrictions, callback number, estimate questions, and confirmed assignment status.
Give the state, direction, I-70 or I-670, last signed exit, upcoming exit, bridge or loop position, mainline or ramp, and shoulder side. A downtown landmark alone cannot identify the correct roadway level.
Call 911 if you are exposed in a live lane or immediate danger. Report the barrier, lane shift, work-zone signs, direction, nearest exit, vehicle condition, and instructions from responders or workers. Do not walk through the work zone.
You may request a destination, but the receiving facility, route, carrier authority, estimate, and current availability must be confirmed. Crossing the state line can change the qualification even when the distance is short.
No. KC Scout and state maps provide traveler information. Tommy's live dispatch must separately confirm the request, estimate, authority, availability, and assignment.

Call live dispatch. An online form or email does not dispatch a truck.
