HGV Recovery on the M55

Wherever your lorry stops along that route, our nearest HGV recovery driver is dispatched from Preston to reach you fast.

Why lorrys need HGV recovery on the M55

Crosswind incidents on the flat, exposed Fylde plain
Holiday traffic surges causing fuel issues for unprepared drivers

HGV Recovery at the M55's breakdown hotspots

These are the stretches of the M55 where we are called out most often, and where we keep HGV recovery resources close at hand:

Junction 4 (Blackpool terminus at Marton), the transition from motorway to the A583 urban road creates massive queues during Illuminations season and summer weekends; vehicles idle for up to an hour, causing overheating and battery drain; the junction simply cannot handle peak demand

Junction 1 (M6 interchange at Broughton), holiday traffic surging from the M6 onto the M55 creates eastbound congestion when returning; the merge is particularly problematic on Sunday evenings and bank holiday returns when tired drivers react slowly

Central section (Fylde plain exposure), the flat, treeless landscape offers zero wind protection; crosswinds from the Irish Sea buffet caravans and motorhomes; autumn and winter storms create dangerous conditions on the exposed carriageway
