According to Today’s Trucking online magazine, Alberta’s Minister of Infrastructure and Transportation announced his government will now begin to recognize the DND 404 military driver’s permit.
This allows for the awarding of the civilian equivalent commercial licence to serving and recently retired vets who had a valid DND 404 within the qualifying timeframe.

When you say Big Rig Towing you immediately think of big trucks and trailers being pulled out of ditches or hooked up to other big trucks to be towed but that’s not always the case.
Sometimes things just fall off trucks or a corner taken too fast results in whatever load is being transported catapulted onto the side of the road or worse into the middle of the road.
Big Rig has the capability of managing any of these scenarios and regularly practices for just these situations.
Like this big excavator that lost it’s way.

Not all Big Rig Towing’s calls are for difficult roll overs or impossibly stuck rigs. Sometimes we a called to lift heavy items from one place to another with our 75 ton Rotator other times to assist in training exercises for our fire and police departments.
Once in a while we get a plain old mechanical failure that leaves someone stranded. This however is not how you want to save gas or see the mountains on your family vacation. That being said we have rescue vehicles designed for every occasion.
Get our app and get an immediate response whatever or wherever your breakdown.
At Big Rig Towing we are always working to help our customers get to know us. We hope our new video will give you a little more insight into who we are and how we can help you with your towing needs.
As the saying goes, spring forward, fall back…
Don’t forget to turn back your clocks this weekend and enjoy that extra hour of sleep Saturday night!
“Daylight Savings Time” is a way of making better use of the daylight in the evenings by setting the clocks forward one hour during the longer days of summer, and back again in the fall.
Daylight savings time will end with a “fall back” to standard time on Sunday November 1, at 2:00 a.m.
And, Happy Halloween…
If you’re a kid or a kid at heart who gets an adrenaline rush out of being scared to death, check out Fright Nights Halloween Events Guide. You will experience haunted houses, Halloween themed carnival games, creepy and disturbing entertainment, and FEAR.

When this rig went off the road it ended up looking like a dog chasing its tail.
Fortunately no one was injured and Big Rig Towing used its seventy five ton rotator to separate and lift the pieces for towing.

When this trailer full of 35,000 chickens rolled over this was not only a truck recovery but a rescue mission as well.
Most of the trapped birds were still alive and had to be extracted from the trailer before it could be set upright for transport and the birds could be sent on to their destination.
Another feather in the Big Rig Towing cap.
