Heavy Truck Towing Ottawa
The Right Iron, the First Time

There's no flat rate for heavy recovery. Cost depends on your vehicle weight, what equipment we send (wrecker vs. rotator), how long the job takes, and how far we travel. It's billed under Ontario's Advanced Towing Services rate schedule, so pricing is regulated. You'll get an itemized quote before any work starts and you give written consent before we lift.

Yes. Highway 417 jack-knife and rollover recoveries are one of our most common calls. We run heavy wreckers and rotators built for exactly this. Our drivers are trained for live-lane work on the Queensway, so we know how to clear the scene safely and get the lane open fast. We dispatch 24/7 and lane-blocking incidents are always our first priority.

We handle tractor-trailers, semis, cube and box trucks, buses, RVs, dump trucks, emergency vehicles, and large construction equipment. If it's too heavy for a standard wrecker, we've got the right unit: heavy wreckers, rotators, Landoll trailers, and double-drops. No commercial vehicle is too large or too awkward for our fleet.

Yes. We work directly with Aviva, Allstate, State Farm, Belair Direct, Farmers, Hartford, and Geico. Every job gets itemized paperwork that meets insurer and fleet audit standards. Fleet managers: we're set up for ongoing accounts, not just one-off calls. Invoices are itemized and formatted to prevent claim disputes.

Yes. If the truck is down but the load is undamaged, we transload cargo to a replacement vehicle right on scene. The seal stays intact and contamination is prevented. We set it up at the time of recovery, no extra trip needed. This service is available for commercial loads where keeping the delivery moving is the priority. Most Ottawa towing companies don't offer on-scene transload.

We dispatch 24/7 from Ottawa with coverage across the city and into the Ottawa Valley. That includes Highways 417, 416, 174, 7, 16, and 31. Lane-blocking incidents are our first priority. Response time depends on your exact location and what we have on the road. Our dispatcher gives you a real ETA the moment you call. We don't give vague windows.

Under Ontario law, heavy recovery falls under the Advanced Towing Services classification. That means billing is itemized at a regulated maximum rate, and you must give written consent before any work begins. No one can charge whatever they want or start working without your agreement. Canadian Towing follows these rules on every job.

Yes. We cover Highway 7 toward Carleton Place and Renfrew, Highway 16 into the Ottawa Valley, and Highway 31 toward Kemptville. Valley routes where the nearest commercial yard is hours away are a normal part of our operation. When you're far from Ottawa, response time matters as much as the equipment we bring. We handle long-reach heavy recoveries regularly.
