Semi truck broken down on the shoulder of I-70 in Indianapolis at dusk with a Road X mechanic approaching the cab
// I-70 · INDIANAPOLIS METRO · 24/7

Truck repair onI-70.Breakdown by exit.

Plainfield to Mount Comfort. Shoulder, ramp or truck stop. Give us the mile marker.

Road X sends mobile diesel mechanics to trucks broken down on I-70 anywhere through the Indianapolis metro — from the Plainfield exits on the west side to Mount Comfort on the east. Give us your mile marker or nearest exit and we'll dispatch. Call (317) 551-5253 — a diesel tech picks up, not a call center.

Where we cover

I-70 across the metro — west to east.

West approach

Exit 66 (SR-267) & Exit 68 (Six Points Rd)

Plainfield warehouse-belt traffic dumps onto these ramps all day — trailers coming out of AllPoints Midwest and Airtech Park with dragging brakes, hot hubs, and slow air leaks that finally pop on the ramp. We meet drivers at the Pilot on the north side of Exit 66 when the truck can roll that far. If you're pinned on the shoulder between Exit 59 and Exit 68, give us your mile marker and direction and we're usually there in 30 to 60 minutes.

Plainfield coverage
Airport stretch

Exit 69 (Ameriplex Pkwy) → Exit 73 (Holt Rd)

This is IND cargo country — FedEx feeders, air-freight team-drivers, and reefers running to the Indianapolis International ramps. Regen faults are the number-one call along here because trucks idle in dock queues and never burn hot enough. Airline pops happen at the Ameriplex on-ramp with the sharp merge. We stage a truck at the Speedway on Holt if you can limp there; otherwise it's a shoulder call.

Downtown & the South Split

Where I-70 and I-65 share pavement

This is the worst place in the metro to stop. The shoulders are narrow, sightlines are ugly, and traffic doesn't slow down. If you're stopped between Exit 79A (Washington St) and the South Split merge, get off at the first safe ramp — West St, Meridian, or East St — and call us from there. If you truly can't move, hazards on, triangles set, stay in the cab and call. We'll route the closest tech and coordinate a wrecker if the shoulder isn't workable.

East side

Exit 89 (Post Road) & Exit 91 (Mount Comfort Rd)

The TA at Post Road (Exit 89) is our most-used meeting point on the east side — big lot, safe to work, open 24/7. If you're broken down between the South Split and Post Road, that's usually where we'll ask you to head. Exit 91 pulls trucks in and out of the Mount Comfort warehouse corridor (Pretium, ProLogis, LG Electronics) and the small-package operations off CR-600W. Response inside I-465 runs 30 to 60 minutes; out to Mount Comfort add 15.

Lawrence & east-side coverage
On the shoulder

Broke down. Do this first.

  1. 01Get as far right as the shoulder allows. If there's an off-ramp within a mile and the truck can roll, take it — the ramp is always safer than the shoulder.
  2. 02Hazards on. Triangles out at 10, 100 and 200 feet behind the truck per FMCSA §392.22.
  3. 03Read the green mile-marker post on the shoulder — that's your location. Note the direction of travel too.
  4. 04Stay in the cab, seatbelt on, and call (317) 551-5253. Tell dispatch the mile marker, direction, and what the truck is doing.
Roadside work

What we fix on I-70.

Airlines & air leaks

Gladhands, service lines, blown air bags, no-air/no-brake releases.

Tires

Steer, drive, trailer — hot-patch or new casing off the service truck.

Batteries & no-starts

Jump, load-test, replace, and check the starter draw before we leave.

Derates & sensor faults

Read codes with Cummins Insite, DDDL, PACCAR Davie, JPRO — force regens on the shoulder when it's safe.

Fuel issues

Out-of-fuel primes, water-in-fuel, cracked lines, filter swaps.

Lighting & DOT stops

Marker lights, brake lights, ABS, 7-pin faults — get you legal and rolling.

If it needs the shop, we coordinate the tow to 5301 Massachusetts Ave. Deep engine work goes to truck engine repair; box, gladhand and reefer-side jobs go to semi trailer repair.

Safe meeting points

Truck stops on I-70.

TA — Exit 89 (Post Road)

Big shop-side lot, 24/7. Our default east-side meeting point when the truck can move.

Pilot — Exit 96 area (Mount Comfort)

Fuel islands and a paved south lot. Fine for airlines, tires, jumps and quick regens.

Pilot — Exit 66 (SR-267, Plainfield)

West-side default. Room to work a trailer with the door up.

Love's — I-70 East near Cloverdale

Outside the metro, but if you limped past Greenfield this is the next safe pull-off.
