Battery assistance
If battery help does not solve it, we can check the charging system, parasitic draw, starter circuit, and related electrical faults.
Emergency Roadside Assistance
Call for battery trouble, commercial tire problems, emergency fuel delivery, or a vehicle lockout. Dispatch serves Charlotte, Columbia, and the I-77, I-20, and I-26 corridors.
Roadside basics, clearly separated
Battery, tire, fuel, and lockout help
We handle battery trouble, tire emergencies, emergency fuel delivery, and lockouts. If the problem goes beyond roadside help, we’ll explain the repair options.
Tire assistance
Tell us the truck or trailer position, tire damage, tire size if safely visible, load, and access conditions.
Fuel assistance
Fuel assistance covers a truck that is out of fuel and needs an immediate roadside solution. It is distinct from diagnosing a fuel filter, contamination, leak, pressure, or engine-running concern.
Lockout assistance
Lockout assistance addresses access to the cab or vehicle when the immediate need is entry. It keeps an access problem separate from a broad mechanical repair request.
When You Call
Make the roadside position clear
Have the truck type, immediate roadside need, and safe position ready. Include any site-access detail that affects safe arrival.

When roadside assistance becomes mechanical repair
If we can't fix it where it sits, we'll tell you straight and point you to a tow or facility.
When a roadside-basics request becomes an engine, cooling, fuel-system, brake, or other mechanical repair decision, use emergency mechanical repair.

FAQ
Emergency roadside assistance questions
What is covered by emergency roadside assistance?
We help with battery trouble, commercial tire problems, emergency fuel delivery, and vehicle lockouts at the truck. If the problem turns out to be mechanical, we’ll explain the next repair step.
Can roadside assistance help with a truck tire issue?
Yes. Tell us whether the tire is on the truck or trailer, its position and size if safely visible, and where the vehicle is.
Can roadside assistance help when a battery will not start the truck?
Yes. If battery help does not solve the problem, we can check the charging system, starter circuit, parasitic draw, and related electrical faults.
Can roadside assistance help with a lockout?
Yes. Lockout assistance focuses on restoring access to the vehicle when the immediate need is entry rather than a mechanical repair.
How is roadside assistance priced?
Roadside assistance is quoted before work begins. A dispatch fee and a two-hour labor minimum apply; emergency and after-hours calls may carry premium rates.
