Semi Trailer Repair: What to Do and Who to Call

First steps

1. Check the light cord and the glad hands at the front of the trailer.
2. Walk around and note any damage to doors, floor, landing gear and tires.
3. Note the trailer type, such as dry van, reefer or flatbed.
4. Ask whether the provider comes to the trailer or needs it brought in.

Why it happens

Trailer repair covers lights and wiring, air systems, brakes, landing gear, doors, floors, roofs and suspension. Some jobs are done at the roadside and others need a shop with welding or body work.

What to tell the provider

The trailer type, what is broken, whether the trailer is loaded, and your location.

How we pick the providers

All Roadside Assistance is a directory. We do not dispatch trucks or take a share of any job. On each town page we list providers whose listing data matches this problem, closest first, within 30 miles of the town center, or 50 miles when fewer than 3 are closer. You call the business directly. Confirm availability, capability and price on the phone.
