01 Roadside breakdown & no-start Highway shoulder, yard, dock, or driveway
The call we get most. Truck cranks and won't fire, dies at idle, loses power under load, or won't build air. We start with the battery and charging system, then fuel delivery, then the fault codes — in that order, because it's the order that finds the cheap fix first.
- Battery load test, boost, and alternator/starter diagnosis
- Fuel filter and water separator change on the shoulder
- Air system leaks, governor and dryer faults, no-build-air calls
- Fault code read and interpretation for Cummins, Detroit, PACCAR, Volvo/Mack
If it's a shoulder call on a 400-series highway, tell us the direction of travel and the nearest exit or kilometre marker when you call. It saves ten minutes of guessing.
