When you're on a long haul, there's a lot that can go wrong on the road - and you may not see a service station anywhere nearby. If you're experiencing mechanical problems, it might be tempting to try to drive yourself to a service station anyway, but that's dangerous, as well as risking even worse damage to your truck.
In most cases, the better option is to pull over and call for on-site truck and equipment repair from a truck service shop
that offers emergency services. Emergency services cost a little more, but they can get you back on the road in time to salvage your schedule.
If your truck is too damaged to drive to a nearby service station, you're looking at lost hours in any situation - but you should lose as little time as possible. Many types of repairs can be performed on the roadside when you contact a truck repair shop with robust emergency response options. If you can diagnose the problem yourself, from your truck's computer system, even better: the mechanic can arrive fully prepared to deal with it.
Of course, sometimes a tow is inevitable, but that should be a last resort. Having to be towed to a station will absolutely wreck your delivery time. (Although that's still better than wrecking your truck.)
As a truck driver, you're usually at other people's beck and call. Why not sit back and enjoy having someone come to you, for a change? If you know emergency roadside services will be the fastest option for getting your truck rolling again, you can relax and let the mechanics do the hard work.
Sure, if something goes wrong, your truck may simply have to go to a shop. However, you might be surprised at just how many mechanical problems can be fixed by a good mechanic on the roadside - especially if they know ahead of time what the issue is. Unless your engine has literally blown up, don't assume a tow is inevitable until calling for emergency repair and seeing what the service shop says.
