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 Sheffield: where it usually goes wrong

Sheffield is a hill city on the edge of the Peak District, and the recovery work reflects it. Cars that cope perfectly well on the flat show their age on the climbs out towards Dronfield and the moors, and winter arrives on the high roads a good while before it arrives in the centre.

The M1 between junctions 30 and 36

The eastern edge of the city, carrying constant freight. Tinsley, Meadowhall and the viaduct sections are busy at all hours.

The Sheffield Parkway and A57

The main route in from the motorway, fast and with limited places to stop once you are on it.

The moorland roads towards the Peak

Snake Pass and the roads out of the city climb steeply and close in bad weather. A breakdown up there is a different kind of job, and not every driver will take it on.

The inner suburbs and the hills

Steep terraced streets where a low-loader has to think about approach angles before it commits.

Worth knowing. If you are on a Peak road in winter, tell the driver the conditions as well as the location. It decides what they bring.
Questions

Before you call.

It depends on who is out. The map shows every driver live in Sheffield 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 Sheffield regularly cover Rotherham, Chesterfield, Barnsley, Doncaster, Hillsborough, Meadowhall and Dronfield, and the main routes — the M1 between junctions 30 and 36, the A57, A61 and Sheffield Parkway.
