Rock & Roll
Literally, the hardest thing for any rig operator is to keep the truck on the road once the center of balance gets the least bit off.
This rig carrying a load of rocks got off the pavement just enough to send it into the ditch.
That’s a heavy cleanup and a hard rock way to end the day.

Mechanical break downs are inevitable. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from, rich or poor.
Even if you only have one name, like Cher, a mechanical break down with your vehicle can leave you and you band stranded.
Lucky for Cher Big Rig Towing was handy with the tilt deck to get her to the concert on time.
Your welcome thousands of fans.

Ever wonder why Big Rig Towing in Calgary, Alberta recovers more big rig rollovers than anyone else.
Practice.
That’s right practice makes perfect. How can you control a situation if you have never been in it before or if you have new equipment that you have never had any training or used before?
The truth is, you can’t.
That is why Big Rig goes to great measures to instruct and update their crews and staff on the latest techniques and equipment updates so that every recovery becomes a success and not another accident scene.
Getting the job done safely and timely is what separates Big Rig Towing from its competitors.

When this rig full 60000 lbs. of bottled water lost control and flipped over it left a bad taste in the drivers mouth.
Handbalming the remaining cargo that didn’t get ruined in the flip was thirsty work and it took Big Rig Towing to right the rig and get it back to the shop for repair.

Sometimes the cleanup of an accident site takes longer than the actual recovery of the rig.
That was the case with this truck full of cedar that rolled on highway #1 near Gleichen. No one was injured but it did take all day to clean up the lumber that was strewn everywhere.
That’s just part of the job that Big Rig Towing faces whenever they are called to an accident scene but if you’re looking for that cedar deck you ordered it might take a while before you get it.

The danger in trucking doesn’t always lay with poor road conditions or weather. It can be as simple as just not tying down the load properly.
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 problems.
Big Rig Towing lifted this heavy 65000 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.
