Roadside assistance for fleets and owner operators

Semi Truck

At Dr. Hook Towing, we understand the stress Canadian truck drivers face when stranded on the road.  That is why we make sure that our services are immediate. We take about one hour or less to respond to an emergency by being on site, and about two hours to put back the equipment on the road. Sometimes the response can take longer due to circumstances that cannot be controlled such as road closures, road accidents and weather. However, it may take longer to respond to a situation in rural areas.

Our heavy duty recovery and towing division can handle different recovery situations such as rolled over or damaged rigs. Our fleet of ten 3-axle hydraulic wreckers can handle up to 75 tons of lifting. This allows us to lift 1, 2 and 5 ton vehicles including semi-trucks, trailers, RV’s, motor coaches, vans and buses. If your tractor/trailer, van or tanker has been overturned or needs up righting we can provide Air Cushion Recovery. We will be fully prepared and equipped depending on the type of situation. Air Cushion recovery is ideal to prevent further damage and loss to your cargo.  Also, to ensure each job is done safely and efficiently, all our staff is required to go through the WreckMaster Certification Program. With over 30 years of experience, Dr. Hook Towing is your recovery expert.

Dr. Hook Towing aims to deliver the best service in the event of a breakdown for local or long distance recovery. Whether you are on Highway 1, Highway 6 or Highway 75, we are there to provide service throughout Canada and in the US.  When you call Dr. Hook Towing, you will always be connected directly to dispatch and will never be transferred to an automated machine.  We aim to build long-term relationships with our customers and are happy to be a qualified service provider for roadside assistance to fleets and owner operators.
