When a call comes in, the closest available unit usually comes from north Hamilton, Hamilton staging, or Ancaster itself. For highway calls past Ancaster, routing extends through the same network onward. The operator balances response time against equipment match, a cattle-hauler recovery gets a heavy-duty rig even if a closer wheel-lift would arrive first.
