Melanie MarchAvoid Fleet Downtime: Why 24/7 Emergency Roadside Trailer Service Is Essential
When a trailer is stuck on the side of the road, you’re losing time, money, and customer trust. That’s why having reliable, around-the-clock emergency roadside service isn’t just a nice-to-have – it’s a necessity.
24/7 roadside coverage should be part of every fleet manager’s playbook to help keep your fleet rolling, no matter what the road throws your way.
The Real Cost of Fleet Downtime
Downtime affects every part of your operation. A single breakdown can delay deliveries, disrupt schedules, and trigger penalties in time-sensitive contracts. The American Transportation Research Institute estimates that unscheduled downtime can cost up to $500–$1,000 per day per vehicle – excluding indirect costs like lost business or damage to reputation.
Multiply that across multiple trailers or extended delays, and it’s easy to see how even one breakdown can have a cascading effect.
What 24/7 Emergency Roadside Service Covers
A comprehensive emergency roadside program should go beyond just towing. The best services offer:
- Tire repair or replacement
- Brake and suspension fixes
- Electrical system troubleshooting
- Reefer unit failure support
- Battery jumpstarts or replacement
- On-site diagnostics
- Access to a wide service network
