First steps
- Pull as far off the road as you can and turn on the hazard lights.
- Set your warning triangles behind the truck as your safety rules require.
- Note the highway, direction, nearest exit or mile marker before you call.
- Call your fleet or dispatcher if you have one, then call a provider.
What to tell the provider
Your exact location, the truck and trailer type, what happened just before the breakdown, warning lights or codes, and whether the truck is safe where it is.
Why it happens
A breakdown call is about two things: safety and the right truck showing up. Mobile mechanics can often fix problems such as a failed sensor, a broken belt, a cracked air line or a dead battery at the roadside. Some problems need a shop, and then a heavy tow is the answer. Ask on the phone which one they think it is, based on what you describe.
