What To Do If Your Truck Breaks Down?

If you find yourself in an unlucky situation where your truck has broken down, it’s important to know what you should do to remain safe. Take a look at the steps below to learn what to do if your truck breaks down:

• Don’t Leave Your Truck: Regardless of whether or not you have a tow truck on the way, try not to leave your vehicle unattended. If you need help for someone else in the vehicle, call for roadside assistance or the police. If you don't have a phone with you or the battery is dead, then seek out an emergency telephone—as long as it's safe for you to do so. If you're on a busy highway, then make sure that you exit the vehicle from the side that doesn’t open up into traffic. This ensures you aren’t walking into the road where you might get hit by an oncoming car.

• Turn On Your Hazards: Before you exit the truck, turn on your hazard lights to alert other drivers of your situation. Keep them on until help arrives or until you get back on the road. This ensures other road users see your vehicle, including any help you’ve called for.

• Make Sure The Area Is Safe: If you’re driving a vehicle that exceeds 12 tonnes GVM, then you need to make sure other drivers have enough warning, especially if you've broken down in the middle of the road. This includes placing warning triangles around your truck to give drivers sufficient visibility and time to notice you. It’s a good idea to place these triangles roughly twice the distance of the road speed limit. So, if it’s 100 km/h, deploy your triangles around 200 metres from your truck both behind and in front of the vehicle. At this point, you should also assess whether your truck has leaked any fluids or if you’ve had a tyre delaminate and leave debris on the road. If you’ve created a hazard or if your truck is blocking a lane, contact the police immediately and notify them that you need assistance.

• Find An Expert To Help: Next, find someone who can help you with your broken-down truck—ideally a professional like our team at BITR. Trucks are built a little differently to standard cars, so it’s equally important that you find a professional with the right tools and expertise to repair your truck. Not all roadside assistance professionals will have the necessary tools to repair your vehicle, so make sure they can help with your specific type. It’s a good idea to keep our number in your vehicle so that you can call our team at BITR if something goes wrong. If you require help now or have any questions about roadside assistance, then contact our team at BITR at (02) 4231 4143.
