These resources answer what drivers and dispatchers ask us most: what to do in the first ten minutes after a breakdown, which defects put a truck out of service, whether a DPF regen can be done on the shoulder, how to track down an air leak, and how Arkansas heat, storms, and ice wear trucks down.
Each one is written with Central Arkansas in mind — the I-30/I-40 interchange in North Little Rock, the Galloway truck stops, the scales at Lonoke and Jacksonville, long summer heat waves, and the ice storms that shut down the interstates every few winters.
They’re general information, not a replacement for your carrier’s procedures or current FMCSA and CVSA rules. When a truck needs hands-on help, see our mobile repair services or call dispatch any time at (501) 263-2565.
