Roadside Assistance- Facts, Figures & Tips

Stuck? Never, With Road Dogs!

Every time a trucker sits behind the steering wheel, they have the passion and sheer determination to make every trucking trip successful with timely deliveries. But it is not just sheer hard work and dedication of a trucker but also a well maintained and serviced truck for smooth, hassle-free trucking trips. We have always suggested that our readers and patrons go for periodic checks for their heavy-duty trucks. It is imperative to avoid any machinery failure once the truckers hit the road, especially in the chilling cold that has embraced the whole of Canada.

Braving through the cold is a Herculean task itself. Another level of a challenge it becomes, if you are stuck with-

• A dead/drained battery,
• Weird hissing sounds emitting from the engine,
• Glaring red light blinking on your dashboard, or
• Something that everyone dreads the most: a flat tire.

A stormy winter evening with a truck or, for that matter, any vehicle that gets stopped on the shoulder of the highway is something that would scare anyone. As a trucker, you may feel virtuous and feel that you can brave the bad weather and save the day by getting your truck fixed on your own but take our word on it. You be safe and stay put. The best way to get out of such a situation is by requesting help from Road Dogs Mobile, the roadside assistance experts.

Safety + Expert Rescuers = Road Dogs Emergency Breakdown Assistance

We must thank the expert services rendered by certified technicians from Road Dogs Mobile emergency breakdown services for all such tricky and hellish situations. As per the latest stats, from December to March, several thousands of trucks require battery boosts in Canada as we understand that the cold season is harsh on the batteries.

Sometimes headlights or any lights are left turned on by mistake. Anything left ON can act as a parasite to the truck’s battery and cause breakdown. You aren’t alone in this oversight. It is observed that roughly 18 percent of battery boosts are requested outside the peak period, between April and November. That is a considerable number that keeps the mechanics on the go.

We have witnessed emergency calls for other reasons besides a dead battery. Our facts and figures show:

• Almost 15% of our customers had a breakdown because of engine failure
• 13% of breakdowns because of issues with tires 
• 20% had a breakdown because of failure/snag in the brake system.

It is a nightmare and the worst fear of most truckers for a breakdown in an unfamiliar area. It soon transpires into a grueling task.

Whether a tire puncture, low battery or a slight electrical or technical issue, anything that can halt the truck’s machinery can jostle your trucking trips. How to deal with these bumps, twists and turns? By taking note of the following tips:
