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!

About Trailer Repair
Common questions and tips from our work with Forrest City customers.
How should I get ready before the repair visit?
Park the trailer on as flat a spot as you can find and set the tractor brakes or block the wheels. Note which door, light, or gear leg is acting up and when it started. Have the trailer year and door or axle brand handy if you know them. Clear the space around the problem so the technician can get to it fast.
What should I check before calling about trailer lights?
Look at the pigtail first. A crushed or corroded 7-way connector causes most trailer light faults, and swapping in a known-good pigtail before we arrive saves time. Count which circuits are dead, such as markers, turn, or brake, and tell us on the phone. That lets us bring the right bulbs, harness pieces, and connectors the first trip.
Can you fix landing gear at our yard?
Yes. A landing gear leg that will not crank usually traces to a bent cross-shaft, a sheared gear, or a seized leg bearing, and most of those repairs happen at your yard in Forrest City or a nearby lot. We can handle a stuck crank, replace a leg, or straighten mounts so the trailer sits level again.
Grease landing gear before winter hits
Landing gear carries the whole trailer every time you drop a box, and Arkansas humidity plus winter road spray washes grease out fast. Crank the legs up and down a few turns every couple of weeks and hit the fitting with chassis grease. A seized gear on a cold morning in Wynne or Brinkley costs a lot more than a tube of grease.
Door seals fail from the bottom up
Most trailer door leaks start at the bottom seal and bottom roller, where road grime packs in first. Check that area when you wash the trailer. A torn bottom seal lets water reach freight and rusts the door track from the inside, turning a cheap seal swap into a track and panel job if you wait.
Straight answers before you call
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.
