My car is stuck in mud — can you get it out?

Yes, mud terrain extraction is one of the most common winch-out calls we handle on the Gulf Coast. We use a synthetic winch line rated for your vehicle's weight and attach it to the frame with a recovery D-shackle. Soft, saturated ground is normal down here, especially after summer storms and during hurricane season.

Can you pull my truck out of beach sand?

Absolutely. Vehicles stuck in sand along the Mississippi coastline — Pass Christian, Waveland, Long Beach — are calls we run regularly. We anchor the tow truck on solid ground, run the synthetic winch line out to your vehicle, and use a snatch block pulley to double the pulling force if needed. Your truck comes out straight and undamaged.

How long does a winch-out take?

Most straightforward winch-outs — car in a ditch, truck stuck in mud — take 15 to 30 minutes once we're on scene. More complex recoveries involving deep mud terrain extraction or vehicles off steep embankments can take an hour or more. We work methodically to avoid making the situation worse.

What kind of cable do you use?

We primarily use a synthetic winch line rather than traditional steel cable. Synthetic line is lighter, safer if it snaps (no dangerous recoil), and easier on vehicle finishes. For extremely stubborn situations, we still carry steel cable on the truck, but for standard passenger vehicle winch-outs, synthetic is the better choice.

What Do You Do When Your Car Slides Off Popp's Ferry Road Toward Back Bay?

Heavy rain saturates the shoulders along Popp's Ferry Road, and your right tires drift onto soft ground. The car slides sideways off the pavement and down the grassy embankment toward Back Bay. You hit the brakes but the tires have no traction on the wet clay. The vehicle comes to rest at an angle with the front end pointed toward the water and the rear wheels still touching the road edge. Spinning the tires only digs the car deeper.

Do not try to power out of a soft-shoulder slide because you risk rolling the vehicle into Back Bay. Chevron Towing positions the truck on the paved road surface, runs a synthetic winch line to your vehicle's frame rail using a recovery D-shackle, and pulls you back onto solid ground in a controlled, straight-line extraction. Call (228) 863-7743 and stay in the vehicle with the engine off while you wait.

How Does Chevron Towing Perform Winch-Outs in Biloxi's Trouble Spots?

Biloxi sits on a peninsula surrounded by water, which means flooding and soft ground are constant factors in vehicle recovery. Point Cadet floods during high-tide events and tropical weather. The Back Bay shoreline along Popp's Ferry Road and the northern neighborhoods retains standing water for hours after heavy rain. US-90 itself takes on water during storm surge events, stranding vehicles in the eastbound and westbound lanes.

Woolmarket's rural roads present a different kind of winch-out challenge entirely. Unpaved shoulders, drainage ditches without guardrails, and soft sandy soil mean vehicles leave the roadway and sink quickly. Trucks and SUVs that attempt to pull through soft patches on Woolmarket back roads end up axle-deep in mud. A snatch block pulley doubles the winch pulling force for these deep-set extractions.

Every winch-out follows the same safety protocol regardless of location. The operator inspects the vehicle's frame for a secure anchor point, attaches the recovery D-shackle, positions the truck on stable ground, and extracts in a controlled pull. After the vehicle is free, we inspect for undercarriage damage, bent suspension components, and fluid leaks. For more on our winch-out process, visit the main winch-out service page.

Which Biloxi Areas Produce the Most Winch-Out Calls?

Point Cadet, Back Bay, Woolmarket, and the low-lying sections of US-90 account for the majority of winch-out calls in Biloxi. These areas combine water proximity, soft soil, and inadequate drainage with regular storm activity. High tides and storm surge push water onto roads that appear clear until you are already committed.
