Every day, truck drivers are faced with challenges that can affect their driving performance or even cause accidents. We’ve compiled eleven common issues to help you avoid these problems and keep your truck on the road.
11 common issues for your semi:
- Road salt can cause rust on your car
- Sometimes the battery connections are loose so they need to be tightened
- If you hear a noise coming from underneath your car, it could be that there’s too much dirt in the wheel bearings and you should get them cleaned out
- The brake pads might need replacing if they’re making noises when you apply the brakes
- Your headlights will stop working after a while of use or if there is water inside of them
- Rust
- Scratches
- Dirty engine compartment
- Dirty wheels and tires
- All-around dirty appearance from neglect
- Areas of the vehicle that have been neglected or not cared for can lead to a decrease in value, so it’s important to take care of your car on a regular basis!
