Semi Truck Tire Problem in Elizabeth, NJ

Elizabeth is surrounded by major freight routes, port traffic, warehouses, and busy connections to Newark and the New Jersey Turnpike. A semi truck tire problem can quickly become a safety issue and a delivery delay, so secure the scene before troubleshooting the tire.

Get to a Safe Position

Turn on your hazard lights, slow down gradually, and move away from active traffic only if the vehicle can be moved safely. On a highway shoulder, stay inside with your seat belt fastened when possible. Never stand between the vehicle and moving traffic or attempt a tire change in a live lane.

• Do not continue driving on a visibly flat or badly damaged tire.
• Use hazard lights and move to a safe, visible location if possible.
• Tell passengers to stay away from traffic and the shoulder.
• Share your exact location and vehicle details when you call.

What to Tell the Technician

Tell the dispatcher whether the truck is on a highway, at a terminal, in a yard, or at a delivery address. Include the truck and trailer tire position if you can identify it, along with the direction of travel and any safe access instructions. Have your vehicle year, make, model, tire size if available, and a description of the problem ready. A puncture in the tread may be repairable, while sidewall damage, a blowout, or a missing tire generally requires replacement.
