As the saying goes, “out with the old and in with the new.” Last year, many truckers hoped 2014 would bring new solutions to lingering problems. Whether your resolution was new tires or an overhauled engine, Truck & Trailer Mobile Repair has some tips to help you get the most from your ride in the new year.
Quit Stalling!
Not only a good tip, but a great New Year's Resolution for truck drivers, as well! If your truck has an intermittent issue with failing to start or stalling out, it could be a major problem. Don't delay when it comes to these kinds of problems as a nagging, inconsistent issue could lead to big repair bills if left unchecked. Do your repairs immediately.
Plan Ahead
Don't wait until you've broken down to be ready for a breakdown. Both accidents and mechanical failures can occur at any time – even if your truck doesn't have any noticeable signs or symptoms of a problem. It's always a good idea to have a fully charged cell phone, working radio and emergency supplies. Most importantly, it's essential to have a mobile semi truck repair mechanic on-call 24/7. If you do get into an unavoidable accident, then make sure to contact a truck accident lawyer to represent you in your case.
Although these tips may seem to be nothing more than “the basics” for many truckers, even highway veterans can benefit from a simple New Year's Resolution.
