Towing in Strathmore

Wheatland County — Trans-Canada commercial traffic meeting agricultural equipment.

+1 (587) 436-8900

Strathmore is where the Trans-Canada stops being a city road and becomes a prairie one. It carries serious commercial volume east towards Medicine Hat, and it runs through the middle of Wheatland County's agricultural land. The result is a mix you do not get closer to Calgary: highway transport work in one direction and combines, air seeders and grain trailers in the other.

The roads

Where the calls come from

Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1)

Long, fast and exposed. Commercial breakdowns here are a long way from the nearest heavy shop, which is exactly when a wrecker matters.

Highway 817 & Highway 24

The north-south farm routes. Slow-moving equipment shares them with fast traffic, which is its own hazard.

Highway 561 and the county grid

Gravel and secondary roads into the farms, where most of the agricultural equipment calls come from.

What goes wrong

Local conditions

  • Open prairie means ground drifting closes visibility on Highway 1 fast, and vehicles leave the road at speed.
  • Harvest puts slow, wide equipment onto roads carrying highway-speed traffic — the collisions that follow need heavy recovery, not a hook.
  • Distances are long enough that a breakdown on the county grid can be well out of cell coverage.

Who calls

What we move here

  • Transport trucks and trailers on the Trans-Canada
  • Agricultural equipment — tractors, combines, grain trailers — during seeding and harvest

Common questions

Strathmore questions

Can you move farm equipment around Strathmore?
Yes. Tractors, combines, air seeders and similar equipment go on our decks, and we do a lot of it through seeding and harvest. Tell dispatch the make and rough dimensions — width is usually the constraint, not weight.
What if I break down on a county road with no cell service?
If you can reach us at all, give the township and range road numbers rather than a street name, and stay with your vehicle where it is safe. If you cannot get signal, a passing farm vehicle can usually raise someone — the county grid gets more traffic than it looks like it does.
