When you’re driving a heavy-duty truck across New Jersey’s major routes like the NJ Turnpike, I-78, or the Garden State Parkway, the last thing you want is a roadside emergency. But breakdowns happen—and when they do, B&L Towing is the trusted name for fast, professional help. Operating in key areas like Carteret, Elizabeth, Newark, and beyond, we’ve seen it all. Here are the top five reasons truck drivers in NJ call for emergency roadside repairs.
1. Engine Overheating
Truck engines work hard, especially during long hauls or while hauling heavy cargo. High summer temperatures or poor cooling system maintenance can cause engines to overheat. This can lead to serious damage if not addressed quickly. B&L Towing offers emergency truck road service to help drivers cool down their engines and get back on the road safely.
2. Tire Blowouts
Tire blowouts are one of the most common roadside emergencies. With the wear and tear from constant highway travel, tires are especially vulnerable. Whether it’s a full blowout or a slow leak, B&L Towing provides truck tire repair services throughout New Jersey, ensuring drivers don’t lose valuable time waiting for a fix.
3. Brake Failures
Heavy-duty trucks rely on strong braking systems, but these systems are also under constant stress. Brake issues can be dangerous, especially on high-speed routes like I-80 or the NJ Turnpike. Our 24/7 emergency truck repair team can diagnose and repair brake problems on-site or tow your vehicle to one of our nearby facilities for more complex service.
4. Fuel Delivery and Battery Failures
Running out of fuel or discovering a dead battery can bring your route to a halt. It’s more common than you might think, especially in urban zones like Elizabeth or Newark, where traffic and delays can be unpredictable. With B&L Towing’s roadside support, we can deliver fuel or jump-start your truck any time, day or night.
5. Transmission or Mechanical Failures
Complex engine or transmission issues can render a vehicle undriveable. If you’re stuck on the roadside in Carteret or elsewhere in NJ, our heavy-duty towing service can safely transport your vehicle to our ten-bay, drive-through repair center for in-depth diagnostics and repairs.
