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 Bournemouth: where it usually goes wrong

Bournemouth and Poole run together along the coast with the A338 Wessex Way threading between them. It is fast, it is elevated in sections, and it has very little hard shoulder — which makes it both the quickest way for a driver to reach you and an uncomfortable place to be stood.

The A338 Wessex Way

Dual carriageway with short slips and limited stopping. The main route in from the A31.

The A31 and A35

The routes east and west, carrying holiday traffic through the summer.

The chines and the clifftop roads

Steep and narrow, with restricted access in places.

Poole, Christchurch and the harbour

Ferry traffic and standing cars, with the predictable battery work that follows.

Worth knowing. On the Wessex Way, reaching a slip road beats stopping where you are. There is often nowhere safe to stand.
Questions

Before you call.

It depends on who is out. The map shows every driver live in Bournemouth 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 Bournemouth regularly cover Poole, Christchurch, Ringwood, Wimborne, Ferndown, Boscombe and Wareham, and the main routes — the A31, A338 Wessex Way, A35 and A350.
