How it works

Three taps to a driver.

Built for the moment you are stood at the roadside, so nothing gets in the way.

1

See who is near you

Allow location or type a postcode. The map shows every driver live nearby and how many miles away each one is.

2

Call the driver

Tap Call and speak to them directly. Agree the price between you before they set off.

3

Watch them arrive

Give the driver your six-digit code and follow them on the map, with a live arrival time, until they reach you.

Why people trust it

A live map only works if it is true.

So we check every driver, and the map only ever shows drivers who are actually out.

Checked before they go live

Driving licence, photo ID, insurance certificate and photographs of every truck, reviewed by our team. Nobody appears on the map until they pass.

Real positions, right now

Drivers share their position while they work. If a truck is on the map, it is out and reachable — not a listing last updated years ago.

Reviews that are checked

Only customers who completed a job can leave a rating, and each one is looked at before it counts.

The price is yours to agree

We are not in the middle of the payment. No commission, no booking fee, no membership — which is also why it stays cheaper than cover.

Recovery in Leicester: where it usually goes wrong

Leicester sits on the M1 with the M69 running off towards Coventry, which makes it one of the better-covered places in the Midlands for a fast recovery. The complication is not distance, it is that the same roads are full of long-distance freight, so the traffic around a stopped car moves quickly and does not expect you.

The M1 between junctions 20 and 22

Constant lorry traffic and the M69 split at junction 21. Naming the junction and the direction is essential here, because the interchange sends drivers different ways.

The M69 towards Coventry

Quieter than the M1 with a decent hard shoulder for most of its length. Usually a straightforward recovery.

The A46 and A6

Fast ring routes with roundabout junctions. Recovery is easy where there is a verge and awkward where there is not.

The inner city and the ring road

Bus lanes, one-way sections and tight streets. Most of what happens here is batteries and tyres rather than anything dramatic.

Worth knowing. At junction 21 the M1 and M69 meet. Say which road you are on, or a driver can end up on the wrong one.
Questions

Before you call.

It depends on who is out. The map shows every driver live in Leicester right now and the app shows how many miles away each one is, so you can see before you call rather than being given a time by a call centre.

You agree the price with the driver on the phone before they set off. RecoverQ adds nothing to it — no booking fee, no commission and no membership.

Every driver is checked before they can go live: driving licence, photo ID, insurance certificate and photographs of each truck, all reviewed by our team.

No. Open the map, see who is live, and call. If the driver takes the job you get a six-digit code and can watch them on their way.

Anywhere a driver is live. Drivers in Leicester regularly cover Loughborough, Hinckley, Market Harborough, Wigston, Oadby, Coalville and Melton Mowbray, and the main routes — the M1 between junctions 20 and 22, the M69, A46, A47 and A6.
