As the saying goes, spring forward, fall back…

Winter is only weeks away and freezing cold nights aren’t the only major change winter brings. Sunrise and sunset will be an hour earlier so that there’s more light in the morning.

Daylight savings time will end with a “fall back” to standard time on
Sunday November 6, at 2 a.m.

“Daylight Savings Time” is a way of making better use of the daylight in the evenings by setting the clocks forward one hour during the longer days of summer, and back again in the fall.

So, don’t forget to turn back your clocks this weekend and enjoy that extra hour of sleep Saturday night!

Harvest 1 – Combine 0

It doesn’t matter how many improvements you make to machines there is always going to be something. You can improve functionality you can include air and wifi and bluetooth but one thing you really can never foresee is how that equipment will deal with mother nature.

This beautiful new combine forgot that it could still get stuck in the mud.

Big Rig Towing got her out and back in the field in no time.

Rescue, Recover, Towing

Towing is defined as the process of coupling one object to another, so that one can be pulled along behind the other. It is commonly used to describe the moving of, or in the seizure of, a vehicle.

In Big Rig Towing’s case the terms recovery or rescue is also used along with towing.

Sometimes the recovery of a big rig is not about hooking it up and getting it to repair but more about the logistics of recovering the rig after it has left the road. A somewhat more dangerous scenario than towing a vehicle that is still on its wheels.

Big Rig Towing makes hundreds of these rescue, recoveries every year and while they all present individual challenges they are all resolved at the end of the day.

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.

How to Crane a Crane

Big Rig Towing CranesWhat do you do when your crane gets blown over? Get more cranes of course.
Big Rig Towing used two of their biggest cranes to right this one when it was blown over in recent high winds.
The job was a little tricker than it looked but Big Rig takes great pains to update and train their operators for just this type of situation.
Stay tuned to watch some of Big Rigs training courses coming to YouTube next month.

No Dumping

Roll OverIt’s truly is amazing that no one was badly injured in this wreck.

This set of super B’s rolled over on highway 797 north of Langdon.
The driver broke his collar bone but the truck ended up with a lot more damage.
So much for a brand new 2016 Kenworth.

The biggest challenge for Big Rig Towing on this rescue was cleaning up the construction garbage.
