Accident Recovery & Clean Up

Diversified Towing & Recovery

After an Accident, We have the Right Equipment for Recovery and Cleanup

After a vehicle accident, the cleanup process can vary depending on the severity and type of collision. Here are some common tasks involved:

Vehicle Towing: Damaged vehicles are often towed away to clear the scene. Depending on the extent of the damage, flatbed tow trucks or standard tow trucks may be used.
Debris Removal: This involves clearing the accident site of broken glass, car parts, and other debris. This is crucial for ensuring the safety of other road users and preventing additional accidents.
Spill Cleanup: If the accident involves a fuel leak or hazardous materials (like chemicals from a tanker truck), our specialized Hazmat Cleanup Services may be called in to handle the cleanup to prevent environmental contamination.
Fluid Cleanup: Oil, coolant, and other vehicle fluids may spill onto the road. These need to be cleaned up to prevent slipping hazards and environmental damage.
Our cleanup efforts are typically coordinated with first responders to ensure the accident scene is safely cleared and restored.

Load Recovery After an Accident

After an accident, we have the right equipment to recover your loads. After a semi-tractor-trailer truck accident, our cleanup and recovery efforts often focus on several types of loads that need to be secured or removed:

Heavy-duty loads include large items like boulders, machinery, and intermodal containers. Specialized equipment, such as our rotators and heavy-duty winches, handle these heavy loads.

Accidents can cause a load to be imbalanced, and uneven cargo distribution can cause accidents.  Our accident recovery team will move and rebalance or secure these loads to prevent further accidents.

We have specialized equipment to handle load spills. Items that have fallen out of the trailer, such as parcels, lumber, metal coils, and paper rolls, are collected and properly secured. We even have a grain vac for grain spills and portable pens and corrals to keep livestock off the highway until we transport them to your destination.

Oversized loads that exceed standard dimensions or weight limits require special permits and handling procedures. Our heavy-duty transport trailers can transport loads up to 160,000 pounds.

Local or Long Distance Transport

After recovery of your accident-damaged vehicle, we can provide local or long-distance transport for your vehicle and its load. This includes towing or hauling cars or any sized rig to anywhere in the country.
