About

Rickey Alexander Mobile Truck & Trailer Repair does mobile truck repair, emergency roadside repair, and trailer repair across Forrest City. When a rig goes down on I-40, Highway 1, or in a yard off Broadway, we bring the truck, the tools, and the parts to you. No tow to a shop, no waiting days for a bay. You call, we show up, and we tell you what it needs before we start turning wrenches.

This shop runs the way drivers want a repair to run. You call with a symptom. We ask the right questions, get to your location in or around Forrest City, and diagnose the problem before any work starts. Then you get a straight answer on what it costs and how long it takes.

If it is a jumpstart at 2 a.m., an air brake fix at a fuel stop in Brinkley, or a cooling system repair in your own yard, the process is the same: find the real problem, fix it right, and get you rolling. Working trucks around east Arkansas face long hauls, heavy loads, and Delta heat that kills tires, batteries, and cooling systems. We stock for the failures we see most, so most roadside calls end with a repair, not a tow.

Fleet operators and owner-operators alike get the same treatment: fair rates, honest timelines, and work we stand behind. That is why drivers on the I-40 corridor save this number before they need it.

Truck and trailer repair, done where you need it

Roadside or shop, we handle breakdowns, brakes, tires, diesel engines and everything that keeps a rig rolling.

• Mobile Truck Repair

  

  Rickey Alexander Mobile Truck & Trailer Repair brings the shop to your truck in Forrest City, AR. Instead of limping to a garage, you get a mechanic, tools, and parts arriving at your yard, lot, or the shoulder. We explain what failed, what it costs, and fix it on site.

We diagnose hard starts, power loss, and fault codes on the spot, explain what failed before we turn a wrench, and fix it at fair rates so your load keeps moving along the I-40 corridor.

• Semi Truck Jumpstart Service

  

  Rickey Alexander Mobile Truck & Trailer Repair brings jumpstart service straight to your rig anywhere around Forrest City, AR.

5.0 out of 5 from 34 reviews on Google.

Yesterday 10/5/26 needed a Jumpstart on my semi. Called around and got the run around. I'm a trucker familiar with the area yet not familiar with the services. Called the Ace! Rickey by chance nonetheless and my man's pulled up on me in 30 of em (meaning time 30minutes) I also need to point out Rickey was in forest city A.R. and I was in Brinkley A.R. enough of me babbling though I'll say this and leave it be. When in doubt give Rickey a shout and he'll show up and show out! And won't depart until your vehicle starts. Easy on the pockets and he won't be forgotten! At any rate I suggest you holla at Rickey Alexander a man of compassion and character. Thanks again!

Straight answers before you call

How soon can you get a repair truck to Brinkley?

We are based in Forrest City, roughly 30 minutes from the Brinkley I-40 exits, so most calls can be scheduled for the same day, and we answer 24 hours a day. Call (870) 270-4001 with your location, truck make, and the symptom, and we will give you a realistic arrival window before you commit to the job.

Can you fix a truck at a Brinkley truck stop instead of towing it?

That is the whole point of our service. Air brake repairs, jumpstarts, tire replacement, electrical diagnostics, and most cooling system work are done right in the lot where you parked. If a job truly needs a shop, we will tell you that upfront and explain what has to be towed and why.

What information should I have ready when I call for roadside repair in Brinkley?

Know your exact location, ideally the truck stop or exit number off I-40 or US 49, plus the year and make of the truck or trailer and what the failure looks like. Photos of the problem area help. The more specific you are, the better we can load the right parts and tooling before we leave the shop.

Do you handle trailers as well as tractors in the Brinkley area?

Yes. Trailer repair is a core part of what we do, including brake work, lighting and electrical faults, and structural or mechanical issues on dry vans and reefers. Many Brinkley calls are trailer-only problems on units that were fine until the last leg of the run.

How much does a mobile truck repair cost?

Price comes down to four things: what the repair actually involves, the parts it needs, how long the work runs, and whether the truck is roadside or parked. Before any wrench turns, you get a clear estimate built from those factors, so you know the number before we start and nothing changes after.

What areas do you serve around Forrest City, AR?

We run out of Forrest City and cover the I-40 corridor plus surrounding towns: Brinkley, Wynne, Marianna, West Memphis, Marion, Helena-West Helena, Hughes, Earle, Parkin, Palestine, and Colt. Call (870) 270-4001 with your location and we will confirm we can reach you and how soon.

How soon can you come out for a repair?

Breakdown calls move as fast as you can get us a location. Planned work, like fleet maintenance or a pre-trip inspection, gets booked at a time that fits your route. The sooner you call, the sooner we roll, so ring (870) 270-4001 as soon as you know you need us.

Are you open nights and weekends?

Yes. Trucks do not break down on a schedule, so we run 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A 2 a.m. air brake fault near West Memphis or a Sunday cooling system failure outside Wynne both get answered. Call any hour and we will tell you what happens next.

What should I do while waiting for roadside service?

Move off the roadway as far as you safely can, set your hazards, and note a mile marker, exit, or crossroads. Then call (870) 270-4001 with a short description of the problem. Those details let us load the right parts and tools so one trip does the job.

What happens when you arrive at my truck?

First we look the truck or trailer over and explain what we found before any repair starts. You get the plan and the price up front, then the work happens on site. Most roadside calls are finished where you sit, which means you drive out instead of waiting on a tow.

Do you fix both the tractor and the trailer on one visit?

Yes. One call covers the whole rig: semi trucks, trailers, air brakes, tires, electrical diagnostics, hydraulics, and more, all from the mobile unit. A tractor and trailer do not need two different shops, and the work happens wherever the combination is parked or stopped in our area.

Do I need an appointment or can I call for a same-day fix?

Both work. Breakdowns get priority, so same-day roadside response is the normal way we operate. Planned jobs like transmission repair or alternator and starter replacement can be booked ahead at a time that suits your schedule. Call (870) 270-4001 and we will sort the timing.

Serving Brinkley

Brinkley sits in the Arkansas Delta in northern Monroe County, about halfway between Little Rock and Memphis, which is exactly how the town has advertised itself for decades. It was founded as a railroad town in 1872 and still carries that transportation DNA: US 70 and US 49 meet on Main Street, and the city limits stretch north to the I-40 interchange at US 49. Truck stops, fuel islands, and lots along the corridor catch a steady flow of drivers stopping overnight or between Memphis and Little Rock. The surrounding economy runs on agriculture, and duck season floods the area with hunters and extra traffic each winter.

Areas of Brinkley we serve

• I-40 interchange with US 49

• Main Street (US 70 and US 49)

Why Brinkley customers need this work

Breakdowns happen where the trucks stop, and in Brinkley that means the I-40 corridor at the US 49 interchange. Drivers pulling off for fuel or a mandatory rest often discover a problem right there: air brakes that will not release, a cooling system running hot on a Delta summer afternoon, or batteries too dead for a restart. Emergency Roadside Repair in Brinkley covers those calls first. Air Brake Repair in Brinkley and Semi Truck Jumpstart Service in Brinkley are the most common jobs we run out here, followed by trailer work on reefer and dry van units parked overnight. The goal is simple: fix it in the lot, skip the tow.
