The Deerfoot Trail transects the city of Calgary. A busy 3 lane freeway with a 100 km an hour speed limit, it takes traffic south to north across the city and onto Edmonton. The city of Calgary has a very cool safety feature that is a free service to all those who run out of gas or break down in their cars along this crowded stretch of road.
That’s right, if your car breaks down or has a flat, even if you run out of gas the city has tow trucks patrolling 24/7 and will aid or tow you to one of the safety zones created every so many km along the route.
While this is an awesome service it unfortunately does not include big rigs and other heavy equipment.
Big Rig Towing & Recovery specializes in this type of tow. Even though it may seem benign compared to rescuing big trucks from icy mountain passes or dragging them out of watery irrigation ditches and rivers, hooking up and towing on a busy highway at rush hour can be equally as dangerous as any mountain road.
If your rig is stranded on any Alberta road call an expert like Big Rig Towing and stay safe.
