Equipment breakdowns are extremely dangerous when it happens on the side of highways\/roads. Most of the time its because of maintenance issues, either with the truck itself, or the trailer that is in tow. This is not only dangerous for the other vehicles on the road but its very dangerous for the truck driver and any repair technician making repairs. Could you imagine trying to change a tire on a truck or trailer while its on the side of a highway with cars flying by at 70mph.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tire failure is the most common issue for a breakdown on highways. Technicians risk their lives every day when working on disabled vehicles located on highways\/roads! The top hazard for roadside technicians is oncoming traffic. Drivers may be distracted, and many often don’t follow the law and move over for emergency repair technicians. Did you know that 25 roadside workers\/first responders die each year, and hundreds more are injured while responding\/repairing disabled vehicles.<\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” column_structure=”1_2,1_2″][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_2″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/advancedmobility.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/what-a-tire-blowout-can-do.jpg” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ title_text=”what a tire blowout can do”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_2″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/advancedmobility.ai\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/give-drivers-a-safe-distance-to-perform-repairs.jpg” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ title_text=”give drivers a safe distance to perform repairs”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.7″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_padding=”3px|0px|5px|0px|false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ text_font=”Noto Sans||||||||” text_font_size=”18px” custom_padding=”0px||0px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ z_index_tablet=”500″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″ header_4_font=”Noto Sans||||||||”]
