Goodyear-Fleet HQ 24/7 Emergency Roadside Services set a new monthly record in August, servicing 15,375 trucks in the month.

The record-setting mark broke the previous monthly high of 15,026 trucks serviced in July.

“June through August, our industry-leading Goodyear-Fleet HQ 24/7 Emergency Roadside Service program helped put more than 44,900 trucks back on the road,” said Jose Martinez, business solutions manager for Goodyear Commercial Tire Systems.

Year-to-date, the service has helped more than 91,300 trucks get back on the road with an average roll-time of two hours and 11 minutes, Martinez added.

For drivers, Goodyear offers the Goodyear Roadside Service app, which alerts nearby Goodyear Commercial Tire & Network technicians and dispatches them to the truck’s location.
