Thank you & Happy Father’s day to all you remarkable Dads, Step-Dads, Big Brothers & positive role models…Sunday June 19th – a special day to celebrate YOU!
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.
See the City minutes. (3) Towing Policy (Councillor Carra)
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!
Family Day is a day to take part in activities aimed at the whole family.
There are plenty of fun things to do with your family right here in Calgary for the Family Day holiday Monday February 15th. There is no shortage of activities downtown or in the burbs for people to explore.
If you love the outdoors, consider a day on the slopes or a skate on the pond, an afternoon at the zoo or on the pathways, to name a few.
Or maybe you prefer the indoors and that’s OK too! There are tons of things from which to choose. You could play board games at home, catch a movie, walk the mall, enjoy a concert, or even have a blast learning at the Science Centre.
For those who just love to kick back you could share a chat over a special coffee, or enjoy a leisurely meal at your favourite hangout. Whatever you do, celebrate in style…
Make your Family Day long weekend fun, full of belly laughter, amazing and memorable. After all, that’s why this one’s dedicated to families everywhere…

You can never be too careful when using heavy machinery in unfamiliar or rugged terrain. This excavator took a tumble in an out of the way location but we solved the issue with our seventy five ton rotator and got it back up on it’s feet and back on the job.
Big Rig Towing can do more than just tow your distressed rig or heavy equipment we can also so heavy lifting and moving.
Give us a call to see if we can help move your heavy equipment.
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 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.
