Know the Warning Signs
Top 5 Reasons Trucks Break Down on the Road
Know the warning signs — and call us before a small issue becomes a big one.
Dead Battery
The most common reason for a no-start situation. Check the charge and condition of the battery.
Alternator Problems
The alternator may not be charging the battery — the electronics and systems may shut down.
Brake System Failure
Worn pads, leaks or low air pressure can lead to brake failure — a serious safety risk.
Engine Overheating
Low coolant level, faulty thermostat or radiator can cause the engine to overheat.
Worn Hoses & Belts
Cracks, wear and tear can cause hoses or belts to break, leading to serious damage.
