Diesel Distress

Big Rig makes hundreds of rescues and recoveries every year and while they all present individual challenges they are all resolved at the end of the day.

This big load of diesel ended up on its side after taking a turn a bit too fast.

Big Rig Towing & Recovery used their 75-ton rotator crane to get it back on its wheels and to the repair shop. An expert rotator operator can make all the difference in getting your towing situation resolved quickly and safely.

24 Hour Emergency Service 7 Days a Week. Call 866-398-7444 for immediate service!

Snow & ice on the road can be serious business

Ice is particularly dangerous precisely because it’s hard to detect in advance and ice-covered roads make driving much more dangerous. These pictures are from a recovery last season just west of Hwy 40 up by Burnt Timber. The road was pure ice.

Winter weather elements can be a challenge to negotiate out on the highway and can cause harrowing risks. So take this as a word of caution: take special care to avoid danger or mistakes and make sure you know when it’s time to get off the road!

You may not be in a precarious position today but with many winter months ahead you can never be too pro-active. We’re available 24/7 to service all of your heavy duty towing and recovery requirements anytime, anywhere. Be proactive and take note of Big Rig’s toll free number (866) 398-7444

Here’s your annual reminder to make sure your load’s secure

The danger in trucking isn’t always with poor road conditions or weather. It can be as simple as just not tying down your load properly.

So why risk it? Know which tie-downs to use and how to safely strap down your load so it does not shift or affect your centre of balance.

How many times have you seen a big truck with an even bigger load trying to negotiate around a tight corner looking like it was going to topple over? Or a flat deck with a load wider than the deck and not looking like it was centered? You can tie it down but if it’s not in the right place to begin with you’re going to have issues.

Big Rig Towing lifted this heavy 65,000 pound steel coil from it’s deck after it shifted during transport. Not an easy task to pick it up and transfer it to another trailer, but having state-of-the-art equipment makes a huge difference.

In the event this happens to you Big Rig is here to help. Just call toll free 1 (866) 398-7444 for 24/7 service.
