24/7 dispatch

Towing in Okotoks

Highway 2A and the Highway 7 corridor south of the city, plus the Foothills industrial mix.

+1 (587) 436-8900

Okotoks runs on commuter traffic into Calgary and the light industrial and service businesses along the Highway 2A corridor. Most calls are straightforward light-duty work, but the town is also the gateway to the Foothills — go west or south on Highway 7 and 543 and the work changes to farm equipment, oilfield service units and vehicles that have left the road somewhere without a streetlight.

The roads

Where the calls come from

Highway 2A

The main commuter route between Okotoks and Calgary, and where most local light-duty calls originate.

Highway 7

West towards Black Diamond and Turner Valley — rolling, unlit, and a long way from a shop once you are on it.

Highway 552 & Highway 2

The connectors to the QEII. Fast traffic joining and leaving means a disproportionate share of collision calls.

What goes wrong

Local conditions

  • West of town the roads are unlit and rolling, so a night breakdown on Highway 7 is a visibility problem before it is a mechanical one.
  • Commuter volume means a Highway 2A breakdown at either end of the day needs clearing quickly.
  • Foothills weather turns faster than Calgary's — it can be clear in town and drifting over on 543.

Who calls

What we move here

  • Commuter vehicles on Highway 2A and the Highway 2 interchanges
  • Oilfield service trucks and farm equipment west and south of town
  • Light industrial and trade vehicles along the 2A service corridor

Common questions

Okotoks questions

Do you cover Black Diamond, Turner Valley and the Foothills?
Yes. Highway 7 west of Okotoks and the surrounding Foothills roads are part of our regular run. Distances are longer and the roads are unlit, so give dispatch the nearest range road or landmark and stay with your vehicle where it is safe to.
Can you move oilfield or farm equipment around Okotoks?
Yes. Service units, skid steers, tractors and similar equipment go on our decks regularly. Tell dispatch the approximate weight and whether it rolls or has to be winched on, and the right deck comes first time.
