Precarious Situation? Give Us a Call

At Big Rig Towing, we’re not just called out to highway accidents with wreckage and broken rigs needing to be uprighted or towed. Sometimes, it’s a large piece of heavy equipment that finds itself in trouble.

Operating heavy machinery in unfamiliar or rugged terrain always comes with risks. This overturned steel loader ended up in an out-of-the-way location, demonstrating that recoveries often involve more than just hooking up machinery; it’s about the logistics of lifting and stabilizing heavy equipment. With our 75-ton sliding rotator and a heavy-duty sling, combined with a few safety adjustments, we successfully resolved the issue and got the loader back on its feet and ready for work.

Big Rig Towing offers more than just towing services for distressed rigs and heavy equipment. We have built a solid reputation for heavy lifting and moving. If you find yourself in a disabled or precarious situation, give Big Rig Towing a shout. Reach us toll-free at 1 (866) 398-7444. Our 24/7 dispatch service is always ready to assist.

Don’t Get Stranded

Being stranded on the side of the road can be extremely dangerous.

In the event of a breakdown, the stress can be overwhelming, especially on busy highways or in the dark of night. It’s crucial to seek safety by moving to an emergency lane or the hard shoulder. However, even these areas can be hazardous due to fast-moving traffic.

If you find yourself stranded, prioritize safety by pulling over as far to the right as possible. Staying inside your vehicle offers protection from potential collisions. In any breakdown scenario, vigilance is key. Remain in your vehicle and promptly call for towing assistance.

At Big Rig Towing, our team is highly skilled in traffic safety and recovery, ensuring the well-being of both our staff and customers during breakdown situations. We respond quickly to your location, providing towing and recovery services regardless of the weather or time of day.

For prompt assistance, call us toll-free at 1 (866) 398-7444. Stay safe and stay informed.

5 valuable tips key to living a balanced life on the road

Living life on the road, particularly for long-haul professionals, poses unique challenges to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. From dietary choices to sleep patterns, achieving balance mentally, physically, and emotionally is essential. Here are five crucial tips for achieving this balance:

  1. Prioritize nutritious eating habits by opting for wholesome meals and snacks. Avoid relying on fast food as a staple and never skip breakfast, the cornerstone of a nutritious day. When dining out, choose fresh options from the menu, and keep healthy snacks like protein bars and fruits on hand. Staying hydrated with water and minimizing refined sugars are also vital. Pay attention to your body’s signals for hunger, fullness, and thirst.
  2. Combat the sedentary nature of long hours behind the wheel by incorporating movement into your routine. Take breaks to walk or jog, and consider carrying small dumbbells for exercise. Regular physical activity improves circulation, strengthens muscles, and alleviates mental stress.
  3. Prioritize restorative sleep to sustain optimal performance and safety on the road. Maintain a consistent sleep schedule, as adequate rest directly impacts your physical strength and mental alertness.
  4. Combat feelings of loneliness and disconnection by staying connected with loved ones through technology. Utilize tools like cell phones, Facetime, and Skype to maintain regular contact and nurture relationships.
  5. Maintain a clean and comfortable environment in your vehicle, treating it as your home away from home. Organize your space, keep your favourite entertainment accessible, and cultivate a positive atmosphere for your journey.

To all road warriors out there, prioritize your health and safety on the road this summer!
