Highway volume on Highway 417 (the Queensway)
Breakdowns on Highway 417 (the Queensway), Highway 416, and Highway 174 generate tow, fuel delivery, and roadside jobs at all hours. Operators with proper highway safety setups are first in line.
Battery season runs long here
One of the coldest national capitals, heavy snow, deep-winter battery failures common. When temperatures drop, jump start and lockout requests spike, and that demand goes straight to the Allies who are online in Ottawa.
