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 Plymouth: where it usually goes wrong

Plymouth is at the far end of the A38, and that distance matters. Recovery here is a smaller, tighter community of operators than in the Midlands, and the Tamar crossing means a driver in Cornwall and a driver in Devon are not equally close to you even if the map says they are.

The A38 Devon Expressway

The main route in and out, fast dual carriageway with long gaps between junctions. If you start losing power, aim for the next junction while you still can.

The Tamar Bridge and Torpoint Ferry

The two crossings into Cornwall. The bridge has its own rules, the ferry has a timetable, and both affect how quickly a driver reaches you.

The A386 towards Tavistock

Climbs onto the edge of Dartmoor with weather and signal both getting worse as you go.

The city and the Hoe

Steep streets down to the water and tight turns for a large vehicle.

Worth knowing. Devon side or Cornwall side. Say it first, because the crossing decides the wait.
Questions

Before you call.

It depends on who is out. The map shows every driver live in Plymouth 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 Plymouth regularly cover Saltash, Ivybridge, Tavistock, Plympton, Plymstock, Torpoint and Liskeard, and the main routes — the A38 Devon Expressway, A386 and A374, and the Tamar Bridge.
