Getting stuck on the road can happen to anyone. A flat tire, engine trouble, or a simple lockout can leave you stranded. When it does, knowing that you have a reliable partner like B&B Repairs to call for emergency roadside assistance can make all the difference. We are committed to getting you back on the road as quickly and safely as possible.
Recognizing an Emergency
An emergency is any situation where your vehicle is no longer safe to drive or has left you stranded. It might be a breakdown, a flat tire, or even running out of fuel. The first thing to do is to stay calm. Then, move your truck off the road if you can do so safely. Turn on your hazard lights immediately to alert other drivers that your truck is not moving. Once you’re in a safe spot, it’s time to call for help.
Safety First
Your safety is the most important thing when you’re stranded. Follow these steps to make sure you stay safe:
- Get to a Safe Spot: If possible, pull over to the side of the road. Try to stop in a well-lit area if it’s dark.
- Make Yourself Visible: Turn on your hazard lights as soon as you stop. If you have a reflective triangle or road flares, place them behind your truck to warn other drivers.
- Stay Inside: If you’re on a busy road, it’s usually safest to stay in your truck with the doors locked until help arrives.

During the Wait
Waiting for roadside assistance can be a little stressful, but there are things you can do to stay safe and make the time pass more comfortably:

- Be Aware of Your Surroundings: Keep an eye out for any potential dangers around you. If you feel unsafe at any point, let the roadside assistance operator know.
- Keep Your Phone Charged: If you have a car charger, use it to keep your phone’s battery charged. This way, you can stay in contact with the roadside assistance team if needed.
- Conserve Your Battery: Use your lights and electronics sparingly to avoid draining your battery, especially if the issue is not battery-related.
