Depending on the type of semi-truck or cargo trailer accident, multiple recovery types might be involved in spill cleanup. A fast, professional, and efficient accident recovery plan and process are essential to ensure no further incidents occur, to ensure safety, and to help keep roadways open as usual. The process could involve truck and trailer recovery, cargo load, heavy equipment, or fuel spill recovery.
