Trailer down on I-75 or Alligator Alley?

Tell dispatch your direction, nearest exit or mile marker, and whether you are east or west of Weston. If you can do so safely, text your trailer number and a photo. Coverage and access on the Alley depend on your exact position; we will discuss the service window and call-out rate before dispatch.

Confirm availability and service-call rate before dispatch.

On the highway: If you are in a travel lane or face immediate danger, call 911. For FHP or Road Rangers, dial *347. Once out of traffic, stay in the vehicle if safe and wait for help; do not walk around it for a photo.

Where on I-75 are you?

On the Broward stretch, give us the nearest exit. On the Alley, give us the mile marker — it is the only reference out there, and it is the difference between a realistic window and a guess.

Weston is the honest last stop. If something feels wrong at the Sawgrass interchange, pull off there rather than paying the toll and hoping.

If you are on the Alley


We will tell you the truth about the Alley rather than a comfortable number. A call from deep in the Everglades is a long run each way, and there is no shortcut, no alternate route and nowhere to reposition to. Expect a window measured in hours, not minutes.

A tow or highway assistance may be necessary. Do not continue driving with a suspected brake, air, tire or wheel-end failure. Call *347, or 911 for immediate danger, and coordinate a safe access point with responders before discussing the repair with dispatch.

Once out of the flow of traffic, stay in the vehicle if safe and wait for help. Tell responders your mile marker and direction; do not leave a safe position to inspect the trailer.

What to tell dispatch

  • Mile marker and direction — east or west
  • Which side of the canal you are on
  • Whether you have signal to receive a call back
  • Trailer type, loaded or empty
  • Whether the unit is blocking a lane or is off the roadway
  • Fuel and water on board

In a live lane, or if you feel unsafe, call *FHP first. We are the second call.

Check these before you pay the toll


Hub heat

At a safe pre-trip stop, check wheel ends using your approved inspection procedure. Avoid touching a possibly overheated hub; heat, smoke, odor or noise needs a qualified assessment before continuing. Bearings and hubs.

Tires and pressure

Sustained seventy in Florida heat on an underinflated casing is how you get a blowout with nowhere to put the trailer. Check sidewalls and pressure cold, before the run — we do not carry tires, so this one is on you or a tire service.

Brake stroke and air

Air-system or brake concerns need a qualified assessment before an extended run. Air systems · brakes.

Lights, for the dark half

There is no ambient light on the Alley at night. Markers, tails and reflectors are the only thing making your trailer visible. Lights and wiring.

Questions from this corridor


How far onto the Alley will you come?

Give us the mile marker and we will give you a straight answer, including when the answer is no. What we will not do is accept a call we cannot service in a reasonable time and leave you sitting there.

Should I keep driving on a bad hub?

No. A hot bearing that seizes at speed can take the wheel end, the brake and sometimes the axle with it. Pull over as soon as it is safe, call highway assistance and do not continue operating a suspected failed wheel end.

Can you inspect before I head to Naples?

Ask about an inspection before a long run. Request availability in Weston or on the way through Pembroke Pines and cross the Alley knowing rather than hoping.
