Towing on Yellowhead Trail
Yellowhead Trail (Highway 16) crosses Edmonton east to west, carrying heavy commercial traffic through busy interchanges and construction zones. Ironline Towing & Recovery helps drivers who break down or crash anywhere along the Yellowhead.
If you break down on the Yellowhead
- If anyone is hurt or you are in a live lane, call 911 first.
- Move as far out of traffic as you safely can and turn on your hazard lights.
- Watch for large trucks passing close to the shoulder.
- Tell dispatch your direction and the nearest cross street or interchange.
What we handle on the Yellowhead
Cars, SUVs, minivans and light-duty pickups and vans that have broken down, been in a collision or slid off the road. For semis and heavy trucks you will need a heavy-duty wrecker, and we’ll tell you so on the phone.
AWD, pickups and vehicles that won’t roll
Our self-loader carries dollies on every call, so all-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles in Yellowhead Trail are towed with all four wheels off the road. We also move cars, minivans, SUVs and pickups that won’t start, won’t shift out of park or won’t steer.
Clear pricing before we tow
You get the price on the phone and a written estimate before the hook goes on, as Alberta’s Vehicle Towing and Storage Regulation requires. Ironline is licensed and fully insured, including on-hook coverage for the vehicle we’re towing.
