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 Cambridge: where it usually goes wrong

Cambridge combines fast open roads on the outside with a centre that is essentially closed to large vehicles. The M11, A14 and A428 make reaching the city quick; getting to a car parked in the middle of it is a different problem, and often the answer involves moving the car first.

The A14 around the city

One of the busiest freight routes in the country, recently rebuilt in sections. Heavy lorry traffic at all hours.

The M11 and A11

Straightforward motorway and dual carriageway with good hard shoulders.

The city centre and the colleges

Bollards, bus gates and restricted access. A flatbed frequently cannot get to where the car is.

The Fen edge and the villages

Narrow lanes with deep ditches and few passing places.

Worth knowing. If the car is inside the bus-gate zone, say so when you ring. It decides what the driver can do.
Questions

Before you call.

It depends on who is out. The map shows every driver live in Cambridge 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 Cambridge regularly cover Ely, Newmarket, St Neots, Huntingdon, Royston, Trumpington and Cherry Hinton, and the main routes — the M11, A14, A11, A10 and A428.
