Owners/Operators Towing Rights

Did you know that if your car breaks down or if you have a flat tire let’s say on the side of an intercity highway, as long as it is a non-investigative incident, and no inspection or safety examination are required post-collision, you can call your proffered towing company and do not have to accept a tow from the first responding company on site.

Big Rig Towing posed the question to the City last month to find out what the policy was on this towing question. Turns out you can call any towing company your prefer.

Earth Day 2016: Five Inspiring Facts and How to do Your Bit

Big Rig Meets Building Head On

A truck that was originally heading south in the #2 highway in Alberta took a small detour. He crossed the road, thought the meridian, across north bound lanes, through a wire fence, accessed a secondary road hit three vehicles and before ending up in the Glover Truck’s main building finally coming to rest passenger side down.
.
Fortunately the only injuries that occurred were in Glover’s shop where two mechanics suffered minor injuries. The truck driver himself got away with a broken arm.
.
The big loser was the building which needed to be structurally secured before Big Rig Towing could remove not only one of Glover’s pickup trucks but the offending truck and trailer as well.
.
All we can say is WOW!

More Than Just Towing

When you say Big Rig Towing you immediately think of big trucks and trailers being pulled out of ditches or hooked up to other big trucks to be towed but that’s not always the case.
Sometimes things just fall off trucks or a corner taken too fast results in whatever load is being transported catapulted onto the side of the road or worse into the middle of the road.
Big Rig has the capability of managing any of these scenarios and regularly practices for just these situations.
Like this big excavator that lost it’s way.

Not a Gas Saver

bigrigtowingNot all Big Rig Towing’s calls are for difficult roll overs or impossibly stuck rigs. Sometimes we a called to lift heavy items from one place to another with our 75 ton Rotator other times to assist in training exercises for our fire and police departments.
Once in a while we get a plain old mechanical failure that leaves someone stranded. This however is not how you want to save gas or see the mountains on your family vacation. That being said we have rescue vehicles designed for every occasion.
Get our app and get an immediate response whatever or wherever your breakdown.
