Looking to cut down your truck and trailer repair bills this year? The solution might be easier than you think! In 2015, roughly 40% of all emergency roadside repairs were performed due to damage from road hazards.
In fact, many truckers and truck owners often cite such road hazards as the most detrimental element to their trucks, delivery deadlines and even safety. Obstacles on the road such as potholes and shredded tires (or “gators”) can do more than harm tires – they can damage axles, suspension components and even body panels.
Avoiding these road hazards isn’t always easy, but maintaining safe, consistent speeds and paying attention to traffic and highway construction alerts can help. In the spring months, keeping an eye out for potholes is particularly important following the rough weather conditions of Michigan winters.
