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 Aberdeen: where it usually goes wrong

Aberdeen's traffic changed shape when the AWPR bypass opened, and so did its recovery work. Long-distance traffic now goes round rather than through, which means fast-road breakdowns happen on the bypass and the A90, while the city itself sees the slower, more ordinary kind.

The AWPR bypass

Fast dual carriageway with widely spaced junctions. Easy for a driver to reach you, but a long way between exits if you are limping.

The A90 north and south

The main route to Dundee one way and Peterhead the other. Exposed in bad weather and busy with commercial traffic.

Dyce and the airport

Hire cars, long-stay parking and batteries that have sat for a fortnight. A regular and predictable call.

The city granite streets

Tight corners and on-street parking, where a large vehicle needs room it does not always get.

Worth knowing. Winter here is real. If the road is icy, say so — it changes what the driver brings and how long they need.
Questions

Before you call.

It depends on who is out. The map shows every driver live in Aberdeen 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 Aberdeen regularly cover Dyce, Westhill, Stonehaven, Inverurie, Peterhead, Portlethen and Ellon, and the main routes — the A90, A92, A96 and the AWPR bypass.
