    Not exactly but there are companies that provide a service similar to that. You have to have and account with them and they have a network of repair facilities they do business with. A.R.I. in NJ., Rapid Road Responce, Saunders? in AL. Truck Tire Service? Mass? Commercial? In one of the Carolina's, ETC.

    As a former towing operator I am unaware of any motor club type services where you prepay in advance for roadside assistance or towing, the cost vs. risk is too high for an insurer to make any money on it. As BoxCarKidd said above, there are roadside assistance companies that will dispatch nationwide, such as ARI fleet services or FleetNet. They will arrange for a qualified vendor to repair or tow your truck, they have contracted rates and you pay cost plus a percentage for the service along with a month membership fee. For a one truck operation you can do the same thing for yourself by using the National Truck Breakdown Directory which lists many well qualified service companies nationwide.

    HAve you actually had to use Roadsidemaster?
    I've signed up for the membership but have yet to use it. I've never talked to anyone who actually used it.

    I drive for Landstar and I am a member of Roadsidemasters.com , they care of our fleet of drivers . I have been a member for 3+ years and have used the service a handful of times and am very happy with the service . You can google Landstar and Roadside MASTERS to confirm this , I hope this helps.
