Frequently asked questions
Can a loaded HGV be recovered?
Often, but the operator needs the load type, weight and condition before accepting the job. Hazardous or shifted loads require additional controls.
Who decides the recovery destination?
Agree the destination with the operator, subject to safety, road-authority instructions, distance, workshop acceptance and your fleet policy.
