The new self diving shuttle, ELA, is still making the rounds in Calgary but to do so it needs to get from test site to test site safely. That job falls to Big Rig Towing to make sure the futuristic transportation makes it on time and without damage.
ELA stands for “Electric Autonomous,” and is in Calgary till the end of the month so you might still able to get a ride on this new way of getting around. Check out the ElA site to register. https://www.ridewithela.ca/

Celebrating 106 years of the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth!
Join us at the parade Friday July 6th, 2018 with this year’s Grand Marshal Olympic snowboarder Mark McMorris. The parade procession through downtown Calgary streets is the annual kick-off to the Calgary Stampede. It begins at 8:55 am, but head down to the parade route early to ensure you get a great viewing spot.
For 10 days it’s a citywide celebration of true western hospitality in a party atmosphere!
So much to see and do…
The Calgary Stampede has grown into one of the world’s richest rodeos, one of Canada’s largest festivals and a significant tourist attraction for the city.
The Stampede attracts over one million visitors per year and features an exciting parade, thrilling rodeos, the midway, concerts, stage shows, agricultural competitions, chuckwagon racing, First Nations exhibitions and so much more…
Don’t miss out! Head downtown to the parade Friday morning and on to the Stampede grounds for some foot-stomping, heart-pounding action and a truly memorable experience.

It doesn’t matter how great a driver you are or the weather conditions. Accidents happen.
When this armored truck flipped over while avoiding interfering traffic it took more than a typical tow truck to right it.
With these vehicles sometimes topping out at 55,000 pounds, over 27 tons only a heavy duty tow truck like the ones used by Big Rig Towing can do the job.
Fortunately no one was injured and the armored truck was rescued.
