Flat Tire Stopping Your Truck Midroute

Dirt Road Truck Service provides mobile tire changes and repairs for commercial trucks throughout Gadsden.

A flat tire on a loaded commercial truck can stop your operation whether you are on the shoulder of a highway or parked in a yard. In Gadsden and surrounding areas, Dirt Road Truck Service brings tire-changing equipment and repair tools directly to your location. Our mobile service is designed for roadside breakdowns, job sites, and truck yards where towing is not practical or cost-effective.

We handle tire changes for steer, drive, and trailer axles, and we repair punctures that are within industry repair standards. Our service includes removing the damaged tire, mounting a replacement or spare, inflating to the correct pressure, and verifying that all lug nuts are torqued to specification. If the tire can be repaired rather than replaced, we assess the damage and complete the repair on-site using durable methods approved for commercial applications.

What Happens During a Mobile Tire Call

Our mobile unit arrives with jacks rated for commercial vehicles, impact wrenches, tire irons, and patching equipment. In Gadsden, we respond to flat tires caused by punctures, blowouts, and tread separation. We lift the truck safely, remove the damaged tire, and install a replacement or your spare. If you do not have a spare on hand, we can supply a tire from our inventory that matches your load rating and axle position.

After the tire is mounted and inflated, you will notice that the vehicle sits level, air pressure is within the recommended range, and the tire holds pressure without leaking. The truck is ready to resume operation without the delay or expense of a tow.

We inspect the wheel for damage, clean debris from the mounting surface, and check adjacent tires for signs of wear or underinflation. Repairs are limited to punctures in the tread area that meet size and location guidelines for commercial tire repair. Sidewall damage, large punctures, and tires with internal structural failure require replacement. Our goal is to return your truck to service as quickly as possible while maintaining safety and performance standards.

Common questions from drivers and fleet operators

Before calling for mobile tire service, operators often want to know how long the repair takes, whether we carry replacement tires, and what types of damage can be fixed on-site.

What types of tire damage can you repair on-site?
We repair punctures in the tread area caused by nails, screws, or road debris. The puncture must be within repairable size limits and located away from the sidewall. Damage to the sidewall or shoulder typically requires tire replacement.
How long does a mobile tire change take?
Most tire changes take 30 to 60 minutes depending on axle configuration and whether the truck is loaded. We work efficiently to minimize your downtime and return your vehicle to service as quickly as possible.
What if I do not have a spare tire with me?
We carry replacement tires for common commercial truck sizes and can supply one during the service call. You pay for the tire in addition to the service fee, and we install it immediately so you can continue your route.
Do you provide tire service in locations outside Gadsden?
Yes, we respond to tire failures throughout northeast Alabama. Our mobile service covers highways, truck yards, loading docks, and rural job sites where trucks operate in the region.
Why is mobile tire service better than calling a tow truck?
Mobile tire service allows the repair to happen where the truck is located, avoiding towing fees and the time required to transport the vehicle to a shop. It keeps your schedule intact and reduces overall cost for a fixable issue.

Dirt Road Truck Service operates with rapid response capability across northeast Alabama, carrying the tools and tires needed to address roadside failures. If your truck is down due to a flat tire, contact us to request mobile tire service and get back on the road.
