Don’t Get Stranded

Being stranded on the side of the road can be extremely dangerous.

In the event of a breakdown, the stress can be overwhelming, especially on busy highways or in the dark of night. It’s crucial to seek safety by moving to an emergency lane or the hard shoulder. However, even these areas can be hazardous due to fast-moving traffic.

If you find yourself stranded, prioritize safety by pulling over as far to the right as possible. Staying inside your vehicle offers protection from potential collisions. In any breakdown scenario, vigilance is key. Remain in your vehicle and promptly call for towing assistance.

At Big Rig Towing, our team is highly skilled in traffic safety and recovery, ensuring the well-being of both our staff and customers during breakdown situations. We respond quickly to your location, providing towing and recovery services regardless of the weather or time of day.
