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 Middlesbrough: where it usually goes wrong

Teesside's road network is built around the A19 and A66, two fast routes that carry a lot of industrial traffic. The recovery work splits between those roads and the towns strung along the river, and the industrial estates have their own access rules that slow things down if a driver does not know them.

The A19

The main north-south route, fast dual carriageway with good hard shoulders and widely spaced junctions.

The A66 across Teesside

Busy and closely junctioned through the built-up sections, with fewer safe stopping points than the A19.

The A174 and A172

The routes out towards Redcar and the Cleveland hills, steadier and easier for recovery.

The industrial estates and the works

Controlled access and heavy vehicle traffic. If you are inside a site, say which gate.

Worth knowing. On the A66 through town, name the junction. It changes character every few miles.
Questions

Before you call.

It depends on who is out. The map shows every driver live in Middlesbrough 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 Middlesbrough regularly cover Stockton, Redcar, Darlington, Hartlepool, Guisborough, Thornaby and Yarm, and the main routes — the A19, A66, A174 and A172.
