When your truck breaks down on the highway, staying calm and following proper procedures can make the difference between a minor inconvenience and a dangerous situation.

Step 1: Get to Safety

If possible, steer your truck to the right shoulder. Turn on your hazard lights immediately. If you can't move the truck, stay in the cab with your seatbelt on until help arrives.

Step 2: Set Up Warning Devices

Once it's safe to exit your vehicle: 1. Put on your safety vest 2. Place emergency triangles at 10 feet, 100 feet, and 200 feet behind your vehicle 3. If on a curve, place triangles where approaching traffic can see them

Step 3: Assess the Situation

Try to identify what happened: - Did you hear any unusual sounds before stopping? - Are there any warning lights on the dashboard? - Do you notice any fluids leaking? - Is there smoke or steam?

Step 4: Call for Help

Contact your dispatch or roadside assistance. Have this information ready: - Your exact location (mile marker, exit number, GPS coordinates) - Direction of travel - Description of the problem - Your truck and trailer information - Contact number

Step 5: Stay Safe While Waiting

• Stay with your truck if possible
• Keep your hazard lights on
• Don't attempt repairs in traffic
• Be visible to approaching traffic
• Stay alert to your surroundings
