Heavy Truck Roadside Service in Jackson, TN

Heavy truck roadside service gets a stranded unit moving again without a tow. When a semi, box truck or bus has a flat, an empty tank or a dead battery, the fastest answer is often a service truck, not a wrecker. We provide heavy truck roadside service around Jackson, and the dispatcher will tell you honestly if the problem is bigger than a roadside fix.

Common roadside calls

The usual calls are tire changes, fuel delivery, jump starts, lockouts and air line problems. A tractor with a blown steer tire. A reefer unit that ran out of diesel on the shoulder. A bus with a dead battery in a parking lot. Many of these can be handled on site in a short visit, and the invoice is lower than a tow.

Tires on heavy units

A flat on a tractor or trailer is not a quick swap. The wheels are heavy, the lug nuts are tight, and the spare is often a full commercial tire. Our service truck brings the tools to break and torque wheels. Tell us the tire size and position, whether you have a spare, and if the tire is a dual. If a tire shop is the better choice, we can tow the unit there.

Fuel delivery

If a diesel truck runs dry, we can bring fuel. We charge for the delivery and for the fuel. Running dry sometimes means the system needs to be primed after the tank is filled, and we can do that. Tell us the truck type and how far you were from a station when it stopped.

Jump starts and electrical

Heavy trucks use large batteries, often in sets. A dead set may only need a jump from a heavy-duty source, and a bad battery may need to be replaced at a shop. If the starter or alternator is the problem, we tell you before spending time on the wrong fix.

Air problems and brakes

A tractor that dropped its air pressure often has a leak: a bad hose, a loose fitting or a failing compressor. We can sometimes repair a simple line or fitting on site. Anything bigger goes to a shop, and we will say so rather than guess.

Truck stops and parking

If you are near a truck stop, you may not be stuck for long. The Love's at Exit 87 on US 70 lists tire services and truck care, and the Pilot at Exit 85 lists a CAT scale and parking. We can service you in the lot or move you to a shop. Tell us which you prefer.
