Big Rig Towing & Recovery extends exceptional customer relations

One of our customers, Susan at IAA, was overjoyed and surprised when she was able to be a rotator operator in training today!

When Big Rig was called to remove a severely burnt truck from a repair facility to be taken to IAA for investigation and eventual disposal, Susan asked that when Big Rig arrived if she could watch the rotator in action. The owner of Big Rig Towing & Recovery, Rick Paley, more than happily not only showed but taught and allowed Susan to operate and actually rotate the damaged truck off one of our tandem decks into IAA’s yard.

A once in a lifetime opportunity, Susan was extremely overjoyed to be operating such an amazing piece of equipment.

As ongoing good customer relations, Big Rig Towing takes pride in being able to explain and demonstrate the capabilities of our tow trucks to our customers and their employees.

Emergency? With Big Rig Towing you’ll be back on the road in no time

Have you ever seen a big rig carrying a load of plywood on the highway? It’s quite a sight, but unfortunately, accidents can happen, and when they do, the results can be messy. That’s where Big Rig Towing & Recovery comes in.

A while back we were called to the scene of an accident where a big rig carrying hundreds of sheets of plywood had rolled over, spilling its cargo all over the place. It was a mess, but we knew just what to do.

First, we got to work recovering the rig itself. Our team of experienced professionals carefully righted the overturned truck and got it back on its feet. Once the rig was secure, we turned our attention to the scattered plywood.

It may not seem like a big deal, but a little bit of plywood can go a long way when it comes to causing trouble on the road. Even a little bit of wind can send those sheets flying, creating a dangerous situation for other drivers. So, we made sure to clean up every last piece.

Thanks to our team’s quick thinking and expertise, we were able to get the scene cleaned up and back to normal in no time. The field was left no worse for wear, and the driver was able to get back on the road.

Uh-oh! Don’t let this happen to you

Don’t take any chances when it comes to load securement. Period.

When you think of the dangers of trucking, you might immediately picture treacherous weather conditions or poorly maintained roads. But the truth is, one of the most significant risks in the trucking industry is something much simpler: improper load securement.

Imagine driving down the highway with a load that hasn’t been tied down properly. You hit a bump or take a sharp turn, and suddenly your cargo shifts, throwing off the balance of your truck and causing a potentially catastrophic accident. It’s a scenario that happens far too often, and it’s one that can be easily avoided with proper load securement techniques.

Proper load securement involves more than just tying down your cargo with ropes or chains. It requires a deep understanding of physics and balance, as well as an ability to assess each load and determine the best way to secure it.

Unfortunately, not all truckers take the time to learn proper load securement techniques. Some may cut corners to save time or money, while others may simply be ignorant of the risks. But the consequences of improper load securement can be severe. In addition to the risk of accidents, there are also legal and financial consequences if your load damages other vehicles or property.

That’s why it’s so important to work with professionals who understand the importance of proper load securement. At Big Rig Towing & Recovery, we have years of experience in the trucking industry, and we know exactly how to secure loads of all shapes and sizes. Whether you’re transporting steel coils, heavy machinery, or oversized equipment, we have the expertise and equipment to ensure your load is secure and your journey is safe.

So don’t take any chances when it comes to load securement. Trust the experts at Big Rig Towing & Recovery to get your cargo safely to its destination. Call toll-free at (866) 398-7444. We’re here to help.
