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 Carlisle: where it usually goes wrong

Carlisle is the last major stop before the border, and the roads around it are long and empty in a way that matters when something goes wrong. The M6 north of here has widely spaced junctions, and the A69 and A595 cover real distance with few places to stop.

The M6 between junctions 40 and 44

Shap and the northern fells are exposed, and weather closes in quickly. A breakdown up here is a longer wait than the mileage suggests.

The A69 towards Newcastle

Single carriageway for much of its length, with overtaking sections and limited verges.

The A7 towards the border

Quiet, rural and with patchy signal in places.

Carlisle itself and the A595

Ordinary town recovery, straightforward and quick.

Worth knowing. On the fells in winter, tell the driver the conditions. It decides whether they can safely come at all.
Questions

Before you call.

It depends on who is out. The map shows every driver live in Carlisle 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 Carlisle regularly cover Penrith, Wigton, Brampton, Longtown, Gretna, Dalston and Cockermouth, and the main routes — the M6 between junctions 40 and 44, the A69, A595 and A7.
