Heavy Vehicle Breakdown Response Service
The Heavy Vehicle Breakdown Response Service provides assistance for larger vehicles and trucks to be quickly removed from motorways and most major arterials. This service is provided free-of-charge.
The service is available for larger vehicles and trucks, including fully laden B-doubles.
This service is an initiative of the Department of Transport and Main Roads, and is delivered by RACQ using four major heavy vehicle recovery companies in the greater Brisbane area.
Heavy Vehicle Response Unit
Heavy Vehicle Response Units (HVRUs) are capable of repositioning and/or moving rolled or damaged heavy trucks and semi-trailers and their loads. Vehicles can then be removed by conventional towing methods.
HVRUs proceed to incidents and are ready to respond once the scene is deemed safe by the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service and Queensland Police incident investigators.
Immobilised, rolled or damaged trucks/trailers and their loads are moved until the owner can retrieve the vehicle and/or load at a more convenient time.
This service is provided by the Department of Transport and Main Roads.
