First steps

  1. Turn off lights, the inverter and anything else that draws power.
  2. Check the battery cables for loose or corroded ends if you can do it safely.
  3. Note whether the starter clicks, grinds or does nothing.
  4. Ask whether the provider can test and replace batteries if a jump does not hold.

What to tell the provider

The truck make and model, how many batteries it has if you know, what happens when you turn the key, and your exact location.

Why it happens

Most semi trucks run on a bank of batteries. One weak battery can drag the rest down. A jump gets the truck going, but if the batteries or the alternator are failing it will happen again. A mobile mechanic can test the charging system at the truck.
