Where the Borman Begins
Heavy Duty Towing Munster works the western edge of Indiana, where the Illinois state line meets the Borman Expressway. Munster had 23,894 residents at the 2020 census and sits in Lake County. We recover semis, delivery trucks, buses and heavy equipment, and dispatch answers 24/7 at (219) 529-2610.
The first miles in Indiana
I-94 enters Indiana at Munster, concurrent with I-80 and US 6. Mile 0.000 is the western end of the Borman. Exit 1 is Calumet Avenue, which becomes US 41 just north of the Borman. The road continues west into Illinois as the Kingery Expressway.
The boundaries
Munster's western border is the Illinois state line, with Lansing and Lynwood, Illinois, directly west. The Little Calumet River forms the northern border, described as shallow and bordered by a thin strip of woods. Ridge Road runs east-west along an old Lake Michigan shoreline. Incorporation came in 1907 by a vote of 76 to 28.
Distribution and delivery
Munster has a PepsiCo bottling and distribution facility and a Whole Foods Market distribution center. Both draw box trucks and tractor-trailers for beverage and grocery loads. Community Hospital is also based in town.
Tell us about your cargo. A trailer of beverages weighs differently from a refrigerated grocery trailer, and a recovery plan changes with the load.
Rail
Two South Shore Line stations, Munster Ridge and Munster/Dyer, opened on March 31, 2026, on the Monon Corridor. They serve commuters, not freight.
Other roads nearby
I-65, the Indiana Toll Road and US 12, US 20 and US 30 all lie within a 20-mile radius of Munster. If your truck needs a shop after the tow, tell dispatch where you want it taken and whether the shop can take a unit that size.
What to tell dispatch from Munster
- State line side and exit
- Unit and trailer type
- Cargo
- Docks or public street
- Who is paying
What a recovery looks like near the line
A disabled tractor-trailer in the first miles of the Borman is rarely a simple hook-up. Lanes are limited, traffic is heavy and police usually decide how the scene is closed. We confirm which trailer we are pulling, whether the load has to be moved first and what size of wrecker the unit needs, and dispatch tells you who is doing what before anyone arrives.
Delivery trucks in town
Not every call is a semi. Beverage trucks, box trucks and straight trucks stall on Calumet Avenue and Ridge Road too. Tell us what the truck is, how tall it is and where it is stuck.
