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.

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

What local drivers say

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!

Exceptional service. Called and wait time was fast. Affordable rates and knowledgeable

very good affordable service i would recommend him to anyone!!!

Straight answers before you call

What drives the cost of a trailer repair in Palestine?

The price of a trailer repair job depends on what failed, what parts it takes, and how hard the job is to reach on the roadside. A brake chamber swap on a shoulder near Palestine is a different job than tracking down a wiring fault across a dark trailer. We look at the trailer first, tell you plainly what is wrong, and quote the rate before any wrench turns, day or night.

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.

Can you handle a jumpstart or tire change on the roadside?

Those are two of the most common roadside calls. A dead battery or a blown tire does not need a shop visit; we bring jumpstart equipment and commercial tire replacement to the shoulder. Give us your location and the tire size if you know it, and we handle the rest.

How does scheduling work for fleet maintenance?

Tell us how many units you run and what interval you want, and we set a recurring schedule that comes to your yard in Forrest City or wherever your trucks stage. Regular service on your lot keeps drivers on routes instead of sitting in a shop waiting line.

Serving Palestine

Palestine is a small town in St. Francis County, set along the L'Anguille River between Forrest City and Brinkley. It sits just south of the I-40 corridor, with US-70 running through town and the Palestine-Wheatley School District anchoring the community. The town counted 506 residents at the 2020 census, down from 681 a decade earlier, and the surrounding land is row crop and pasture served by farm trucks and freight carriers alike. With no local truck shops to call, a breakdown here often means a long tow otherwise. Rickey Alexander covers the gap, running calls out of Forrest City to Palestine, Colt, and the surrounding farm country in minutes.

Areas of Palestine we serve

• L'Anguille River

• Palestine-Wheatley High School

Why Palestine customers need this work

Westbound traffic is the story on this stretch of I-40. Trucks that left Memphis loaded down hit hills, heat, and hours of pulling before they reach the Palestine exits, and cooling systems, air brakes, and trailer wiring fail right there. That is why Emergency Roadside Repair in Palestine matters to drivers on a deadline, why Trailer Repair in Palestine covers reefer units, axles, and landing gear on the shoulder, and why Mobile Truck Repair in Palestine saves a tow back to Little Rock or Memphis. Rickey Alexander brings the truck to the truck.

Why Choose Rickey Alexander Mobile Truck & Trailer Repair for Mobile truck and trailer repair in Palestine

Rickey Alexander Mobile Truck & Trailer Repair answers westbound I-40 breakdown calls around Palestine, AR fast. Trucks rolling out of West Memphis and Marion hit this stretch with heavy loads and long miles behind them, and that is when tires, brakes, and electrical systems give out. Our shop sits on W Broadway in nearby Forrest City, so a call from the Palestine exits or US-70 gets a short drive, not a long wait. We explain the problem before the wrench turns and quote a fair rate on the spot.

There is no truck repair shop inside Palestine, so most drivers facing a breakdown either call a tow or wait hours on a service from the Memphis side. Rickey Alexander is closer. Our shop on W Broadway in Forrest City puts us minutes from the Palestine exits, and we answer around the clock, including nights and weekends when most shops are shut. Drivers get a straight explanation of what failed, an upfront rate, and repairs done roadside or on-site so the load keeps moving.
