> OCTOBER 1ST — ARE YOU READY TO PARK YOUR TRUCK? 🇨🇦

In 1974, independent truckers parked their rigs when they decided enough was enough.

Fast-forward to 2026, and fuel costs are once again hammering the people who keep this country moving.

Every extra dollar at the pump gets felt somewhere , by the owner-operator trying to make a living, the contractor running equipment, the farmer, the small business, and ultimately the customer paying for everything that arrives by truck.

So here’s the question:

Would Canadian truckers be willing to PARK on October 1st to send a message about the cost of fuel?

Not asking anyone to block highways. Not asking anyone to interfere with emergency services. Just asking a simple question:

What happens when the trucks stop moving?

No trucks = no groceries getting restocked.
No trucks = no building materials arriving.
No trucks = no fuel deliveries.
No trucks = Canadian commerce starts feeling it very quickly.

Maybe it’s time the people keeping Canada moving reminded everyone exactly how important they are.

OCTOBER 1ST. PARK THE TRUCK.

🦸‍♂️ SUPERHERO STATUS: CURRENTLY SWAMPED 🦸‍♂️🐕‍🦺

Apparently superheroes are supposed to save the whole damn city at once… turns out Ghost and I haven’t quite unlocked that power yet. 😂

With the amount of calls, messages, recoveries, towing, equipment work, and general chaos coming our way right now, McEwan’s Towing is absolutely flat-out.

So if you’ve called, texted, messaged the page, or are waiting to hear back from me I’m not ignoring you. I promise. There are just more people needing us right now than there are hours in the day.

We’re working through everything as quickly as we safely can, prioritizing emergencies and people who need immediate help.

Please be patient with us. We WILL get to you ASAP.

Ghost is ready.
The trucks are rolling.
The cape is questionable.
And apparently I still can’t be in three places at once. 😂

Thanks to everybody for keeping us this busy and trusting our crew when things go sideways.

☀️🚨 SOLAR NEIL SAVES THE DAY 🚨☀️

Some guys install solar panels.

Some guys do emergency recoveries.

Neil apparently looked at both and said, “Yeah, I can do that.” 😂

CTV caught up with us about the absolute mess this storm created across Eastern Nova Scotia /Cape Breton .

Roads washed out, water everywhere, people hydroplaning, vehicles stranded, and our crews trying to figure out which roads were actually still underneath the water.

And who does CTV put on camera?

SOLAR NEIL. 🎤😂

Neil normally spends his days working in solar power, but in his spare time he helps us out on recoveries when things get ugly.

So naturally, when Cape Breton starts washing into the Atlantic,
Neil trades the solar panels for recovery gear and somehow ends up on national television reading the script. 😂

In all seriousness, Neil and the rest of the crew put in a hell of an effort through some pretty nasty conditions. Roads were washed out, routes were blocked, and getting to some of these calls was half the battle.

But apparently none of that matters now.

Neil is famous.

We’re just supporting characters in the Solar Neil Cinematic Universe. ☀️😂

Cbc called to have a quick chat this morning heres the link.

Weekends are usually quiet for Tyson McEwan of McEwans Towing, but he has already recovered about 20 vehicles so far this weekend. The Havre Boucher, N.S., business is based in Antigonish County near the Canso Causeway.

🚨 NOVA SCOTIA — THE WATER IS ONLY HALF THE PROBLEM. 🚨

These pictures are from one of our recoveries this morning after a road washed out.

And this isn’t over when the rain stops.

With the amount of water that has hit the province, the ground is saturated.

As cleanup and rebuilding gets underway, there are going to be dump trucks, equipment and service vehicles finding out exactly how soft “looks pretty solid” really is. 😂

McEwan’s Towing & Hotshot Services is ready.

🪝 Heavy wreckers — truck and equipment recovery, winching and mud recoveries

🚛 Landoll — ready to move excavators, dozers and equipment into affected areas

🏗️ 25-ton excavator — washouts, culverts, ditching, debris removal and road rebuilding

🚚 Live bottom — ready to haul gravel and aggregate for road repairs

🚜 Additional equipment and operators available

From getting the truck OUT of the mud, to getting the excavator IN, to hauling the material needed to rebuild the road we can handle the whole job.

Contractors, municipalities, utilities, trucking companies and property owners: if you're short on equipment or need another crew, call us.

We have equipment sitting in the yard fueled up and ready to work anywhere it's needed.

If you bury it, we’ll pull it.

If the road disappears, we’ll help rebuild it.

If the equipment needs moved, we’ll haul it.

Mother Nature made the mess. We brought the big toys. 😂

Please stay off flooded and washed-out roads. These photos are a pretty good reminder that sometimes there’s literally no road underneath the water.

🚨 NOW HIRING YES, ACTUAL JOBS. 🚨

Which one of you lazy bastards crawled out of bed this morning, looked in the mirror and said:

“Wow… today’s the day. I’m gonna change my life and GET A JOB.” 😂

Well, congratulations. Your moment has arrived.

McEwan’s Towing & Hotshot Services is hiring:

🔧 SKILLED LABOURERS
If you can use tools without asking which end of the hammer to hold, we're already off to a great start.

🚛 TOW TRUCK OPERATORS
Light, heavy, recovery if you can operate equipment, think for yourself, and show up when the phone rings, we want to hear from you.

🚜 EQUIPMENT OPERATORS
Excavators, dozers, skid steers, graders and whatever other piece of yellow iron we decide we absolutely needed to buy this week.

What we're looking for:

• Show up when you say you're going to show up. Revolutionary concept, apparently.

• Know how to work without someone standing behind you clapping.

• Be mechanically inclined.
• Have common sense. Actual common sense.

• Don't be scared of dirt, grease, weather or a long day.

• A driver's licence is pretty damn helpful.

• Experience is an asset. A good attitude and willingness to learn go a long way too.

We have real work, real equipment and lots of variety. One day you might be running an excavator, the next helping with a recovery, working around the shop, moving equipment, or wondering how the hell you got talked into whatever we're doing that day. 😂

If you've been sitting home saying, “I should probably get a better job,” consider this your sign.

If your buddy has been unemployed for six months because he's “just waiting for the right opportunity,” TAG HIM. This is it, princess. 👑😂

💰 Pay based on experience, ability and how useful you actually are.

ALRIGHT… YOU GUYS PICK THE NEXT BUILD. 👀

We’ve got two bad ideas, enough parts laying around to make at least one of them happen, and apparently nobody around here knows when to leave well enough alone. 😂

Option #1 THE OFF-ROAD WRECKER
40-ton NRC recovery unit, big flotation tires, 6x6, built for the places where a normal tow truck looks at the road and says “absolutely f**kin’ not.”

Option #2 THE OFF-ROAD FLAT DECK
Same nasty 6x6 setup, but with a 40-ton heavy side puller + NRC 40TB tilt deck. Something that can crawl into the backcountry, recover equipment sideways, winch it aboard, and haul it back out.

We intend on building BOTH.

The question is…

WHICH ONE DO WE BUILD FIRST?

🔥 WRECKER
or
💀 FLAT DECK / SIDE PULLER

Drop your vote in the comments. And if you've got an even more ridiculous idea for either build, we probably shouldn't hear it…

…so obviously tell us. 😂
