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 Peterborough: where it usually goes wrong

Peterborough is built around parkways — fast dual carriageways that ring the city and connect the townships. They are efficient and they are also short of laybys, so a car that stops on one is somewhere a recovery driver has to plan for rather than simply pull up beside.

The parkways

Frank Perkins, Nene and the rest. Fast, with slip roads rather than junctions, and limited places to stop safely.

The A1(M) and A1

The main north-south route, carrying long-distance traffic day and night.

The A47 east and west

Mixed dual and single carriageway across the Fens, exposed to crosswinds and with long gaps between anywhere.

The Fen roads

Straight, flat, narrow and with deep drains either side. There is often nowhere to pull off at all.

Worth knowing. On a Fen road there is frequently no verge. Tell the driver if you are still in a live lane.
Questions

Before you call.

It depends on who is out. The map shows every driver live in Peterborough 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 Peterborough regularly cover Stamford, Huntingdon, Whittlesey, Wisbech, Oundle, Yaxley and Market Deeping, and the main routes — the A1(M), A47, A15 and A605, and the Peterborough parkways.
