Training Days

At Big Rig Towing going about out daily business just isn’t enough. Updating equipment and the constant training to use that equipment is what makes out team the best.

Many accident and towing scenarios can occur on our streets and highways and we like to think we are prepared for all of them. With that in mind our team spends many day of the year rehearsing for these incidents.

When Big Rig Towing shows up at an accident or any kind of event that requires expert towing help we already understand what is needed to handle the problem safely and quickly.

Pro Shots

When you have big beautiful tow trucks you want to show them off.

Big Rig Towing takes pride in their fleet of tow trucks and service vehicles keeping them road ready, services and ready for any emergency rain or shine.

We thought we would show you a couple of these beauties with some of our professional shots of the rigs.

Holy Cow

You can never be too careful when negotiating a corner especially when carrying a load of cows.
Righting this rig with the rotator wasn’t the tricky part of this recovery, unloading and managing a herd of cows however was a whole other kind of recovery.
All’s well that ends well as the noisy bovines were transferred to another cattle carrier and Big Rig Towing hauled the ditched rig back onto the road.

New Fleet Banner

It’s not always about going out into the raging storm to rescue or tow a disabled or rolled rig. Sometimes we have events that involve our great fleet of tow trucks and support vehicles.

Our latest photo session brought our whole team and fleet together to create a great new banner image for our website.

Close Call

When ever something is  being towed there is always the chance of the load shifting. Even taking a corner just a bit too fast can cause a trailer to capsize. This driver took a corner too tight and fast and caused the trailer to become unhooked. The result was almost disastrous. Fortunately the Audi SUV it was carrying did not leave the deck and Big Rig Towing used their rotator and spreader bar to to roll the trailer and vehicle back on is rubber.

In Deep

It’s not always about how far in the ditch the rig is that makes a recovery hard, sometimes it’s the load.

This load of lumber when into the ditch during Calgary’s recent late summer snow storms with 80000 lbs on board.

Big Rig Towing spent the best part of the afternoon unloading and hauling the cargo before they could get the rig out of the mud and back on dry pavement.
