What should I tell the dispatcher?
- Your location: the road, the direction and the mile marker or nearest cross street.
- Tractor only, or tractor and trailer.
- Loaded or empty, the type of load, and any hazardous materials placards.
- What failed: the engine, air brakes, tires, or an accident.
- Where it should go: a truck repair shop, your yard or a terminal.
How do I stay safe with a broken-down semi or bus?
- Pull as far onto the shoulder as you can and turn on the hazard lights.
- Set out your warning triangles as required for commercial vehicles.
- On a bus, keep passengers on board if the shoulder is unsafe, or move them well away from traffic.
- If there is smoke or a fuel leak, move everyone away and call 911.
- Keep the bill of lading, registration and company contact ready.
Florida’s Move Over law requires drivers to move over a lane, or slow to 20 mph below the posted limit, for stopped tow trucks and disabled vehicles with warning lights.
Does every heavy truck need a tow?
No. A tractor with a dead battery may only need a heavy duty jump start, and a truck that ran dry may only need diesel delivery to reach the next station. Tell us what happened, and we will send what the job needs.
