Chicken on the Way

Big Rig Towing Chicken Roll OverWhen this trailer full of 35,000 chickens rolled over this was not only a truck recovery but a rescue mission as well.
Most of the trapped birds were still alive and had to be extracted from the trailer before it could be set upright for transport and the birds could be sent on to their destination.
Another feather in the Big Rig Towing cap.

Double Decker Burn Out

Big Rig Towing Double Decker Burn OutThis double decker city bus had an engine fire that rendered it unusable. The bus was initially towed back to the contractor’s yard.  Big Rig Collision in Calgary was contracted to do the repair work and they hired us to bring it back. The rear tires were burned off and the air system was completely distroyed so the bus had to be flat towed from Sherwood Park to Calgary. The journey was made even longer as bridge heights in Edmonton made the cross city drive a nine hour adventure.
