Repair planning guide
Collect details only after the immediate situation is safe.
The request form can wait. Follow your carrier’s procedures and instructions from emergency or road authorities. This guide helps organize the repair conversation; it cannot assess the safety of the vehicle or location remotely.
Give dispatch a clear situation report
- Road, direction, nearest marked point or current yard address.
- Whether the vehicle is in a traffic lane or another hazardous position.
- People involved, cargo concerns and whether emergency help has been called.
- Truck and trailer identity and a reliable callback contact.
- Symptoms already observed, without going into danger to collect more.
Photos are optional when access is unsafe
Do not enter traffic, crawl beneath a vehicle, touch hot components, open pressurized systems or run equipment simply to provide evidence. Existing photos or a written description are enough to start a conversation. A qualified provider can decide what inspection is appropriate.
What happens while you wait
Keep the driver and dispatcher informed. A request that is awaiting match is not a dispatched repair vehicle. If the situation changes, contact the appropriate emergency or road authority and tell the provider about any new location. A repair marketplace is separate from emergency response and vehicle recovery.
