Nearly 1 in 5 vehicles were placed out of service during Roadcheck inspections this year — and for towing companies, that can mean lost calls, missed jobs, frustrated customers, and trucks sitting instead of earning.
The reality is that most Roadcheck violations don’t happen overnight. They build up over time. Everyday habits like hard braking, aggressive turns, speeding, and missed maintenance issues often go unnoticed until an inspector finds them- causing a truck to end up sitting in the yard waiting on repairs when it should be out on the road running calls.
When a truck gets sidelined unexpectedly, the costs add up fast. Industry estimates show unplanned downtime can cost fleets anywhere from $448–$760 per truck, per day in lost revenue, delays, and operational disruption.
Traxxis AI dash cameras and telematics help towing companies stay ahead of those problems by giving visibility into risky driving behaviors and vehicle health before they turn into out-of-service violations. Alerts for harsh driving, maintenance tracking and real-time vehicle visibility help operators catch issues early, improve driver accountability, and keep trucks on the road making money.
