Essential Winter Emergency Supplies As winter approaches, it’s essential to stock your truck with critical emergency supplies. The right gear can make all the difference if you face unexpected winter challenges. Don’t procrastinate — our Canadian weather conditions can change on a dime — ensure you’re prepared! First, make sure you have snow chains for extra traction and jumper cables to deal with cold-weather battery issues. Equip yourself with a windshield scraper to keep your view clear, and pack extra batteries and flashlights in case of power loss. Flares are also important for signaling help. Include a shovel for digging out and a radio to stay updated on road conditions. Heavy-duty bungee cords can secure items, while kitty litter or salt helps with tire traction. Always keep at least a half-full tank of fuel, and add anti-gel fuel additive to prevent freezing. Pack heavy-duty winter clothing, knee pads, blankets, and sleeping bags for warmth. Bring extra food and water, and don’t forget a first aid kit. Finally, while it’s warm, clean your truck thoroughly inside and out—making winter travel safer and more comfortable. Being proactive can ensure peace of mind when winter weather strikes. #BigRigTowing #RoadSafety #TransportTruckRecovery #StrongWinds #HeavyDutyTowing #towingservice #towingandrecovery #heavytowing #towingcompany #yyctowing

Secure Your Load The risks in trucking don’t always come from poor road conditions or harsh weather. Sometimes, it’s as simple as not properly securing your load. We’ve all seen it: a big rig trying to navigate a tight corner with an oversized load that looks like it’s going to tip over, or a flat deck trailer with cargo wider than the truck, off-center and looking unstable. Securing a load isn’t just about tying it down. If the load isn’t positioned correctly from the start, no amount of straps or chains will prevent potential problems. Shifting loads can cause major issues, from damaging the cargo to destabilizing the truck, increasing the risk of accidents. At Big Rig Towing, we recently handled a situation where a 65,000-pound steel coil had shifted on its trailer during transport. Moving that much weight safely required precision and expertise. We lifted the coil from its deck and transferred it to another trailer, ensuring both the load and truck remained stable. It’s a reminder of how important it is to secure loads properly before hitting the road. For expert help when things go wrong, Big Rig Towing has your back.
