On October 22 & 23, 2016 the Alberta Vehicle Extrication Association instructors hosted heavy extrication training for the members of the Canada Task Force 2.
This 2 day theory and hands on course was designed to allow students to think outside the box, apply their skill and knowledge to real world extrication situations when dealing with large scale truck and trailers, bridge collapse incidents etc.
Assisting in the program was Big Rig Towing.
The students worked hand in hand with the tow operators to carefully extract patients from inside the crushed vehicles in these extremely precarious scenarios.
By the end of the course many students were at the helm working the controls of Big Rig Towing’s heavy wreckers under the watchful eye of the company’s owner Rick Paley
On Friday November 11, 2016 we pay tribute and remember those members
of the armed forces – some who selflessly sacrificed their own precious lives in the
line of duty — who have served their nation in war, in armed conflict, and in the
effort of sustaining world peace.
Past, present and future we salute those who have served and those who continue
to serve at home and overseas. Without them there would be no freedom.
Towing Big Rig Trucks isn’t always just pulling a truck because of engine failure or mechanical breakdown or winching one from a ditch full of snow or mud because of a missed turn or slippery road conditions. A lot of the times conditions are dangerous with the need to save cargo and sometimes humans involved in high speed or unusual circumstances. Drivers have to be on high alert. Not just for them selves but for their machinery and anyone else involved in a crash.
That is why Big Rig Towing spends time training for every scenario imaginable and participating at the Global Training Center in Strathmore Alberta keeps their skill set up to standards that far exceed other towing companies.
When a tow gets challenging Big Rig drivers have the skill to get the job done.
