Most of our work isn’t an emergency. It’s a truck sitting in a yard with a problem that needs fixing before the next load.
Maybe it’s a check-engine light, an air leak you can hear from the cab, a marker light that quit, or a vibration the driver doesn’t like. Sending that truck to a shop means pulling a driver off the road, arranging a tow or a risky drive, and waiting behind everyone else.
A mobile diesel mechanic fixes it where it sits. For a fleet running out of a North Little Rock yard or a warehouse near the port, that can mean handling it between shifts instead of losing a tractor for days. For an owner-operator on a 10-hour break at Galloway, it can mean the repair happens while you sleep.
We work on Class 6 through Class 8 trucks and the trailers behind them: road tractors, day cabs, yard tractors, box trucks, dump trucks, and other diesel work trucks.

- Lights, trailer cords, and seven-way connections
- Fifth wheel lube and adjustment, plus a check of the locking jaws
- U-joints, driveshaft carrier bearings, and leaking wheel seals

Jobs that belong in a shop
Mobile repair covers a big share of what goes wrong with a truck, but some work belongs indoors:
- Engine overhauls and in-frame rebuilds
- Transmission and clutch replacement on most trucks
- Major collision repair and frame straightening
- Paint and body work
- Warranty repairs that must go through an OEM dealer
Check your coverage before any outside repair on a warranty component. If the truck is under an OEM or extended warranty, read the terms first.
Fix it on site or tow it?
Ask two questions. Can the job be done safely where the truck is? A flat, lit yard is a very different workplace than an I-40 shoulder at night in the rain. And will it take less time on site than a tow plus the shop’s wait? For most sensor, air, electrical, cooling, and fuel filter jobs, yes.
When a truck is parked somewhere safe — a yard, dock, or truck stop — bigger jobs can make sense on site too, since the mechanic isn’t working next to traffic. Describe the symptoms and dispatch will help you decide.
What to tell dispatch
Give us these details on the first call so the mechanic shows up with the right parts and finishes in one trip.
- Where the truck is parked and how to reach it (gate code, yard contact, dock or row number)
- Year, make, and model — plus the VIN if you have it, for parts
- Active fault codes or dash messages
- When the problem started and whether it’s getting worse
- When the truck needs to be back in service

Mobile Truck Repair FAQ
How is mobile truck repair different from roadside assistance?
Roadside assistance is for a stranded truck that needs help now. Mobile truck repair includes that, and also covers scheduled or non-urgent work at your yard, dock, jobsite, or truck stop parking spot.
Do you fix trailers too?
Yes — trailer brakes, lights, air lines, landing gear, suspension, and doors. See trailer repair.
What parts are on the service truck?
Common wear items like air fittings and line, filters, belts, fuses, and connectors. For a specific part — a starter, a sensor, a particular valve — give dispatch the year, make, and model so it can be picked up on the way when possible.
Can you work on the truck during my 10-hour break?
Often, yes. If the truck is legally parked at a truck stop and the repair doesn’t require moving it, the mechanic can work while you rest. Tell dispatch where you’re parked and how long you’ll be there.
Do you work on yard tractors?
Yes. Yard tractors at warehouses and distribution centers around Little Rock have the same air, electrical, hydraulic, and engine problems as road tractors. Call with the make and the symptoms.
Will I get paperwork for my maintenance file?
Ask for an itemized invoice listing the work and parts, and keep it with the truck’s records. Motor carriers are required to keep maintenance records on their vehicles.
