Towing in Airdrie

The QEII corridor north of Calgary, plus the Balzac distribution and warehousing belt.

+1 (587) 436-8900

Airdrie sits on the busiest stretch of Highway 2 in Alberta, and the Balzac corridor immediately south has turned into one of the province's biggest distribution and warehousing clusters. That combination changes the shape of the work: alongside ordinary commuter tows we get a steady run of commercial calls — delivery units, yard trucks and trailers that have to be moved without blocking a loading dock all afternoon.

The roads

Where the calls come from

Queen Elizabeth II Highway (Highway 2)

High-speed, high-volume, and unforgiving in winter. Most of our Airdrie highway calls come from this corridor between Balzac and the north overpass.

Highway 567

The east-west connector out to Highway 9 and the range roads. Narrow shoulders and fast traffic make recovery positioning the first job, before anything gets hooked.

Yankee Valley Boulevard

The main artery through town and the route to the light industrial bays on the east side.

What goes wrong

Local conditions

  • Ground blizzards close visibility on the QEII with little warning — the road is open, flat and exposed north of Balzac.
  • The distribution yards need units moved without shutting a dock down, so a wrong-sized truck costs the business money as well as time.
  • Commuter volume into Calgary means an early-morning breakdown on the QEII has a very short window before it becomes a traffic incident.

Who calls

What we move here

  • Commuter vehicles on the QEII between Airdrie and Calgary
  • Delivery vans, straight trucks and yard units around Balzac distribution centres
  • Trailers and dropped units needing repositioning inside industrial yards

Common questions

Airdrie questions

Do you tow commercial vehicles in Airdrie and Balzac?
Yes — that is a large share of what we do there. We run flat decks and heavy wreckers, so a straight truck, a loaded delivery unit or a trailer that needs repositioning inside a yard is routine rather than a job we have to sub out.
Can you recover a vehicle off the QEII in winter conditions?
Yes. The QEII north of Balzac is exposed and gets ground blizzards, and vehicles end up in the median or down the bank rather than neatly on a shoulder. That is a winching job, not a hook-and-go, and it is what our heavy equipment is for.
