When Dallas Heat Destroys Your Truck
The grueling Texas heat spares no one in the DFW, truckers, least of all.
The 105°F summers destroy equipment on a regular basis. It's especially common on the I-20, where the pavement can reach 140°F, so hot you can cook griddle cakes on the sidewalk.
It’s not much better in the winter, when cooling systems get pushed past their limits, and batteries die without warning.
The combination of extreme weather adds up to a lot of money wasted. Every day you’re down is $1,000-$2,000 out of your pocket. Breakdowns leave you scrambling to find a competent mechanic, and shops are frequently backed up for weeks.
DFW's Breakdown Danger Zones
Every trucker in Dallas-Fort Worth knows the feeling: your engine starts overheating as soon as you climb the I-30 High Five interchange, but there's nowhere safe to stop.
The I-635 LBJ Freeway has almost no shoulder space. You're either moving or you're sitting on your hands with cars zooming by just inches away.
Then there’s the Mixmaster, which alone chews through brake pads daily. When those brakes give out - and they will, sooner or later - you’re looking at a $300-$1,500 emergency tow.
These aren't just bad breakdown spots; they are death traps during rush hour.
