Unfortunate meltdown!

No matter how careful we try to be, accidents happen. When it’s a big rig travelling with a heavy load at great speeds on the highway it can make for an unpleasant disaster. While this may not look like much more than a simple rollover, this rig was carrying thousands of popsicles when it went off the road and tipped over!

The good news in this accident is that the driver wasn’t hurt (unbelievably) but can’t say the same for the popsicles on board. Heatwave or no heatwave frozen popsicles on a stick will never survive!

If your rig has had an unfortunate rollover and needs to be up-righted, it’s time to call Big Rig Towing – always prepared for the challenge of a big rig rescue and recovery.

With Big Rig you’re in good hands

How many trucks get stuck in the ditch each year because they failed to negotiate a corner correctly or under estimated the steepness of the curb? Hmmm, that would be an interesting statistic. You  would think that cornering and knowing your pre-trip route, conditions, and environment would be a critical aspect of big rig training and licensing before you’re hired to drive one of these big old  beasts!

When you call Big Rig Towing & Recovery you’ll be in good capable hands. Big Rig Towing & Recovery is dedicated solely to the heavy duty towing and recovery industry. We are licensed and insured so rest assured that while your property is in our control it is covered by the most comprehensive insurance available to our industry.

Is your load tied down securely?

The danger in trucking doesn’t always lay with poor road conditions or weather. It can be as simple as just not tying down your 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 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. Time to call the experts. Big Rig knew which tie-downs to use and how to safely strap down the load so it doesn’t shift or affect your centre of balance as you travel on to your destination.

In the event you find your load in trouble, don’t risk it. Call Big Rig Towing & Recovery at (866) 398-7444 for immediate service. We’re here to help.
